In this case Richie,possibly forced off the road because its owner (Ian) didn`t want to attend to the initial problem in the way in which he now wishes he had?

Keep the Bulletins coming Ian. She has more friends than she realises.

Nothing in the Handbook Kev ?

You have worked wonders RICHIE, but I think that Ron deserves a couple of pints for supplying you at a knockdown price, with the necessary hardware !!

And on the Model T HA Viva and all trains to Crewe !

I would advise strongly that you do not play the final movement of the 1812 Overture whilst in the car, then Michael !

Mike`s price equates to £2.23 per gallon Alan.

A great choice Mel. What you don`t have can`t go wrong ! Just enjoy it and if the gearbox is noisy, then you are not driving it properly!

Why don`t you just do what you should have done in the first place Brian ?

I am just as avid a reader too Jeff. His view re left foot braking is his view which he holds for reasons which are good to him. I tried it once.......and nearly broke my nose!!

Thanks Jason. Amazing information from the man in the street so to speak.

Sorry Peter.HJ is Honest John in The Daily Telegraph. The best Motoring Correspondence bar none. Hybrid Batteries are now warranted for 15 years from manufacture by Lexus, subject to Annual Checks.. NonE OF THE VEHICLES REFERRED TO ABOVE HAVE HAD A FAILURE IN THE Hybrid Battery.

"PROFESSIONAL ADVICE" I had a long talk with a taxi driver about his Lexus, IS300h, asking why he bought it, and its merits, if any. He told me his previous car had been a Mercedes C200 diesel and that, in his opinion, was nowhere near as good as the Lexus. I was fascinated by this. He claimed the Merc needed brake pads every 20,000 miles, the DPF had been a constant nightmare, eventually catching fire, the gearbox was never really smooth, though fuel consumption was ok, about the same as the Lexus, which he claimed was around 50mpg. The Lexus is petrol, of course, absolutely no comparison. In his opinion the Lexus gearbox was as smooth as it gets, his car had now done 103,000 miles, still with original brake pads, which for him was a revelation. Cheaper to service, even with Lexus Hybrid health check, for which he said they charged £60. Not the slightest problem with it since purchase. Quite an endorsement I think. Hope this might be of interest PW, via email No surprise at all. Toyota Prius and Auris hybrid taxis are regularly clocking up 400,000 miles plus with very little mechanical attention needed. I've never heard of any trouble at all with the epicyclic CVT that Toyota fits to Toyota and Lexus models.

Best advice we can give you.

Many thanks for the update Rich. £600 does not seem a lot for the satisfying finished product..

Thanks for the update. A Company I shall steer clear of.

I had one for a weekend some 20 years ago. It was a brilliant 6 cylinder job ,but the fuel gauge was faster than the clock !!

So, Rich what exactly was done at what cost by TB ?

Thanks.The cost seems reasonable.Where did you have the wrapping done?

It looks really nice. A PROFESSIONAL JOB. Cost please?

Just keep taking the tablets, old Pal.

I connect a Solar Charger to my GS450h twice a year for 3 months each time. Have done so for 5 years without a problem..
