  1. Welcome AJ. If you bought it from a Dealer within the last 6 months it is his responsibility to fix it at no cost to you.
  2. Point well made Shahpor. There are many of us in that boat with you. It might be useful going forward if we had access to the design life of parts that seem subject to the most claims, whether they are included or excluded from the new Relax warranty.eg, Shock absorbers, Multi-media systems, Headlights etc. We could then perhaps form a view as to whether a particular failure was due to poor design, defect of manufacture, design life having been achieved (wear and tear?), not fit for purpose ,etc. We could then decide how to pursue the matter eg, use the Relax warranty, accept wear and tear, or not fit for purpose under Sale of Goods Acts etc. There is much for us all to reflect upon. As I said in another Post, if 80% of claims are approved, there will be general acceptance.
  3. A great Post James.Thanks.
  4. No problem Barry. My system is from 2010 but when you go to input a new destination is there anything on the screen which mentions previous destinations ?
  5. In my 2010 GS I am offered the choice of setting a new destination or of choosing one from a list of destinations I have set previously. Have a couple of points for reading and rereading your manual ikeja.🤞
  6. I can see a minefield ahead Colin. "Cleaning it wrong" v "Not fit for purpose"?
  7. I wonder what the term "manufacturing defect" means, said Christopher Robin.
  8. The proof of the pudding Len is.......................................................................?
  9. I know young fella that you have read or are reading the full manual of the CT! One must persist with the basics, musn`t one ?
  10. The original HJ can be read in the Daily Telegraph each Saturday. This lot merely use his name and lack gravitas.
  11. Is the cover of the Toyota/Lexus Relax warranty better or worse than an extended warranty? I purchased a brand new Lexus NX on 17 March 2021, which includes a three-year warranty. I also purchased an extended warranty with the offer to buy the fourth year warranty and receive the fifth year free. I will be getting the Lexus serviced at my Lexus dealership as part of a three-year service plan. Lexus Extended warranty has offered a full refund on my extended fourth and fifth-year warranty. But will the extended warranty I paid for offer better cover than their free after-service warranty? Your advice, please. Kind regards. Asked on 4 June 2021 by Marlinleg Answered by Georgia Petrie Essentially, as a Lexus owner, you're being offered an extra layer of cover if you remain faithful to the dealer network and you get it serviced within in the recommended intervals. There are no complex clauses, exclusions or caveats as it's supposed to be easy for owners to understand and benefit from. The idea is to simplify servicing and warranties for customers. However, I would suggest you read the terms and conditions of the extended warranty because there are some exclusions to be aware of: d3rvezpmgp265q.cloudfront.net/lexusone/lexgbenv11/...f In short, from what I've seen in the Ts&Cs (which I've linked you to above), there are some major exclusions under the Relax scheme which may be covered by your extended warranty. These include but aren't limited to maintenance parts, rubber parts, body and paint, multimedia systems etc. This means components that are excluded from cover include brake pads, wheels and tyres, belts and tensioners, batteries (in non-hybrid models), spark plugs, rubber parts, shock absorbers, infotainment systems, paintwork, lights, seat covers, 12v socket, exhaust system (including cat. converter) etc. So, the point of the Relax scheme is to keep/bring back owners into the Toyota/Lexus servicing network. This is good in many ways because Lexus itself will offer the best Lexus servicing with genuine parts (though, it'll be more expensive than using an independent garage). I believe the Relax warranty itself is free, too, as it's automatically applied at each service. The best way to determine the difference between the warranties would be to look at the Ts&Cs of both. If you give your local Lexus dealer a ring, they'll probably be able to offer some clarity, too. You can then make a decision once you're armed with the facts of both warranties. Regards
  12. So, I guess that the Lexus Dealer`s name appears on your plates now Sandy? A win/win situation as he gets free advertising and you get free plates. He merely absorbs the cost within his advertising budget which probably gets reimbursed by Lexus G.B.
