Why don`t you have a telephone conversation with Richard of Hybrid Battery Solutions, he is based near to you at Northampton and is a Member of this Forum ? https://www.hybridbatterysolutions.co.uk/

Your Contract is with Leicester not the Windscreen Company James.

Not Rocket Science, is it Malc ?

An excellent Posting to the Debate Steve. I would add just one set of a few words for you personally Steve, Some Insurance Companies--and yours might be one such Company charge the client (you) should they seek to cancel a Contract prior to its previously agreed Termination Date. Unless you have checked the Policy Wording, simply do not renew. Good luck.

The Top3 have been Top 3 for more years than Land Rover have been in the Bottom 3 of Reliability Surveys ! Do motorists only seek the Bottom Line of Cost ? Seems that they do !

Does any Pension have a London Weighting, I ask ?

Indeed it is Kenny.

Phil, What are you doing re the "car would be well past the service due mileage" problem ?

mine too.

I agree with Dave,but ensure that they put their response in writing.

If you need anything for it and I`m sure you won`t it is virtually a Daihatsu. I bet you didn`t know that old pal.

Very nice Piers. I am sure that it will serve you well.

Very good Phil. Much to ponder for Lexus and the owners, methinks.

I keep recommending Richard, one of our Members.

I`m sure that your right foot and anticipatory skills played their part too Kenny ?

Had the car been parked contrary to the Highway Code,(as was the vehicle adjacent to it ) the access wheel would have been on the "offside" thus putting the scum in an extremely dangerous position in relation to passing traffic. Worth thinking about.

Welcome Nick. Drive on the right and do observe the speed limits(and don`t even think of arguing with a Gendarme ) !👍🤣

Thanks Vlad. Not possible to get over it Vlad,I will just have to live with it and try to minimiise the impact My contributions will inevitably be reduced. Stay well and stay safe.

The exact situation described in the Article happened with us a few years ago with my wife`s Mazda 2. I requested a new Battery under the 3 year Mazda Warranty and was refused due to the low mileage covered. I went sort of Ballistic and requested chapter and verse within the Warranty Exclusions which of course the Mazda Dealer could not produce. Fortunately my practice of trying to develop and maintain good and effective personal relationships with the Service Staff came into play and having reminded them of something they already knew,but had forgotten (my wife`s Cancer Operation and Recovery) had prevented her from driving, they looked upon the matter in a completely different light. There is much that Dealers can do to inform Customers of matters which they may not like,but there is much that much that Customers can do to develop and maintain good and effective Relationships with Dealers.

Ask the expert: Toyota said I need to do 7,000 miles a year for the warranty to apply – is this right? As the Telegraph’s motoring expert, I weigh in on your car dilemmas to save you money and make your driving life easier ALEX ROBBINS13 February 2023 • 3:00pm Like most manufacturers, Toyota doesn’t cover the 12-volt battery by default under its warranty Dear Alex, My 2021 Toyota C-HR suffered three breakdowns due to the 12-volt battery going flat. The first two times, the RAC condemned the battery, but the Toyota dealer insisted it did not need replacing. The final time, the dealer agreed the battery was shot, but wanted to charge £145 to replace it, saying the warranty didn’t apply as my mileage was too low (2,300, partly due to the pandemic), and that I needed to do 7,000 miles a year for the warranty to apply. I refused, and threatened publicity, after which the dealer agreed to replace the battery as a goodwill gesture, but I was told I still needed to do 7,000 miles a year for the warranty to apply. I was not aware of this warranty stipulation – can Toyota do this? – AM Dear AM, The worrying thing is the dealer’s assertion that owners had to do a minimum mileage for the warranty to apply. I was sure that Toyota made no such stipulation in its warranty terms, but I asked a company spokesman just to check. He said: “Should a failure occur then this would be addressed under the manufacturer warranty (provided it had cover) and if a manufacturing defect was found, it would be covered under these terms. There is no mileage limitation in respect of batteries for the warranty terms to apply; if a part is deemed faulty with a manufacturing defect it is replaced.” That settles that. However, it is fair to point out that like most manufacturers Toyota doesn’t cover the 12-volt battery by default under its warranty; it is considered a service item. I would still have hoped that the dealer would agree that a battery that died only a year after the car was produced would be considered defective, irrespective of whether it was covered under the warranty. And in the end, in this case, the dealer did the right thing. It’s just a shame they got there via a set of rather spurious assertions about the warranty cover. I can’t imagine why you were given such flagrantly erroneous information, unless it was some misguided effort to avoid having to make a payout.

Just wait until Linas gets his teeth into this one ! 🤣

Please PM me with advice on how to search the online manual Pete. I don`t seem to be able to do so for my 19 NX.Thanks.

Did you get any Hard Copies of the Handbook or Owner`s Guide Pete ?

In which case Ed, I suppose I must reserve the right to disagree with your correect choice of words !🤣🤣
