Derek,It will be contrary to Lexus Warranty Conditions to have your LEXUS SERVICED OTHER THAN AT A LEXUS DEALERSHIP.

Caldy Country Park was washed into the DEE last when gigantic waves from the Japanese vessels avoiding the Doldrums and carrying new Lexus`s, struck the Western coastlines with a venom not experienced since the days of Darth Trump!! Have a nice day Roger. Over and out.

Doom MOnger, Roger, mi amigo! I was in the cubs and have therefore always tried to "be prepared". Off to the Beach for the day, someone has to do it !!

The USS Abraham Lincoln and accompanying vessels are in those waters, so pray for the safety of your new vehicles!! (LOL)

If you bought the car Dave, at 130k on the clock, how were you able to get an extended warranty for a further 2 years, when the maximum mileage permitted by the Lexus warranty is 130k ?

DefinItely, Richard. Are you able to tell us members how many ACTUAL Hybrid Battery failures you have diagnosed? We keep referring members queries to you,but have no feedback on outcomes.

Quite right. My Merc has overead by 8% for the last 17 years!

My message to Honest John, produced this reply. I am trying to find out if a 2008 reg Lexus LS600HL was fitted with a full stainless steel system as standard.Can you help please? David Ross 3 hours ago Thank you for your message. To our knowledge, the LS600h wasn't fitted with a stainless steel exhaust as standard, this is likely to have been a replacement ot an aftermarket fit

"but I got a whole custom-made stainless system, cat back, guaranteed for the life of the car and the guarantee transferable to new owners if I sold the car, for £390". Where from Herbie?

I do not think that there is a 3rd Party Warranty available that will include cover for the Hybrid Battery. Better to use the Lexus Extended Warranty or have the Annual Hybrid Health check.

AND CHECK OUT MATTERS WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY

tell us the year of manufacture JP and we may be able to find out if a s/s exhaust was fitted as standard.

I think he will report back Mark. He`s had some sound advice.

"John - we don't know what we don't know. If one party decided not to be fully honest when seeking advise, then they get advise which doesn't really apply - there is nothing we can do about it. My advice is purely on the information available here on the forum. If you think it is incorrect based on whet we know, then I am happy to discuss and admit I was wrong (like 6 vs 3 month deadline). But otherwise I am just taking it on face value, because as you say we might not know all the details and we don't want to know all the details" Linas, I agree in general with what you have said, it is just that I would not wish to offer any comment until I knew the full facts of any case. Just as an example-----what if the OP`s car had been cloned? The Insurers would not know that and neither would the OP. Let us hope that in the fullness of time, the OP let`s us all know the outcome of his current dilemma. Regards John

Just what I was going to say too!

In the sort of matter we are discussing Linas, it is only necessary to show that the Policy Holder is innocent of all that is being stated. The question of Guilt does not arise in my opinion. I understand that as far as AF and the Policy Holder are concerned in this particular case, we simply do not know all of the facts. Nor do we need to know as we are not judging the matter. I would expect that once all of the facts are known to both Parties, then one of the Parties will acknowledge that one or both have erred and due recompense will follow. Let us hope that the matter is resolved soonest to the satisfaction of both Parties. Regardds John

BMW and Mercedes both formerly supplied rear wheel drive vehicles fitted with Summer tyres. A recipe for no grip in Winter.

NOT IF YOU HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK IT IS`N`T. So advise all of your to do so and do not assume anything whatsoever.

"If you know you are right"........and can prove it,do not forget my friend Linas .

A great Job Tom. What did you do after breakfast, Superman ?

https://www.themotorombudsman.org/consumers/independent-vehicle-reports come on Alan, see if this can help you out. Regards John

Hi Alan, I have just stumbled across this thread, I`m sorry to read all that has happened over the last 12 months.Why don`t you simply get an independent engineer`s report and present it to Lexus/ Head Office--as was advised by Mark in post 2 at the beginning of the thread? Regards John

Sri Lanka..........just in case you are thinking of plotting a route Peter !

Thanks Neil, much appreciated.I have never relied on a Salesman unless he has put it in writing! Enjoy your ES. It will never respond like other cars you have driven, so modify your approach to driving and relish the World that is Lexus. Please keep us all updated with your experiences. Regards John

Not regretting the change-----T`was in response to Thackeray`s post a few contributions earlier, I think.
