  1. An excellent result Vere. Well done.
  2. I`ve left mine on several occasions attached to a Solar Charger via the OBD11 Port for 3 months without problems. However, I advise you to buy a CTEK MX5 Charger to maintain your Battery in peak condition whilst you are away Mike TW. And don`t forget to read the Handbook.😉
  3. No real need to keep checking Dave. Put it in READY mode as per the Handbook.😉
  4. You are one lucky boy Alex. What did you have previously ?
  5. You should get 12 months free at purchase and all subsequent ones are free to up to 100,000/10 years. Acceleration is measured and linear! Put your foot down and not much will happen except a crescendo from the transmission.
  6. The Tyres are legal as far as tread depth is concerned. What is the date of manufacture on the side of each tyre ? One`s maximum leverage or clout appears just before purchase. If due diligence has been performed, then that is when one asks for assume deficiencies to be corrected. I would have asked for 4 new tyres depending on the dates of manufacture and for the odd one out to be replaced if the Tyres were less than 5 years old. I agree with you that the principle of Caveat Emptor should not apply when purchasing from Lexus, but sadly car Salesmen are just car Salesmen and principled gentlemen they are not. That is why Due Diligence needs to be performed and all agreements as regards action required is documented. Put it all down to experience, I suggest and advise all of your friends to do likewise.
  7. MikeTW, Welcome. Vlad and David have given sound sensible contributions as usual. I would ask you if you are ready for a Lexus ? It is a world away from any German car and possesses characteristics that are welcomed by some and despised by others. You really must test drive several models and decide for yourself. My GS 450h is now 11 years old and been mine for nearly 9. It has covered 63,000 miles and averaged 35 mpg according to the on board computer. It will do 0-60 in 5.9 secs and is Limited to 155mph. If that is the sort of performance you require, I advise you to buy another BMW. Lexus owner`s behaviour is influenced by the car! I have a Service Plan which costs £34 per month. If you have yours serviced by Lexus, they will then give you 12 months warranty cover on both the car and its Hybrid Battery. The warranty on the car will/can last until 100,000 miles or 10 years since first registration. The warranty on the car can last for 15 years. Is Lexus reliable? Yes it is Does it have the sort of performance you are used to ? No it won`t. Do I really want an automatic that`s unlike any other automatic ? Take a Test Drive and find out. Please do report back and let us all know what you decide. Thanks for reading.
  8. I read this yesterday Vas and thought of you ! https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/advice/volkswagen-software-glitches-still-no-apology/
  9. Nothing ventured nothing gained S. Looks to me like it could have been in an underground car park and moisture has dropped on the roof ? Please do report back and let us all know the outcome.
  10. Well said Steve. Beauty does indeed lie in the eye of the beholder.👍👍
