I have been having very similar issues, bad judder at braking over 60ish. I know the front discs are scored, it showed up as an advisory at the MOT and i have had a look at them on the ramp.

So is that the full reason for the judder? or maybe a sticky caliper too? No obvious brake smell from the car even after a run, but if i need a new caliper (God forbid), what would be a reasonable price?

Thanks for the replies. I know there is little room in the area around the battery, and I'm sure the terminals press into the protection material under the bonnet as is.

Either way, regardless of what new battery I fit, I'm going to kill it. It's just the type of use the car gets - long gaps between use, then when it does get used it's short journeys, often with lots of stops and starts. So it never/rarely ever gets enough use to put back in what is taken out when starting.

Just wish I was able to run a power lead out to the car - would make leaving it on a trickle charge once a month or so much, much easier (than having to remove the battery completely, bring it inside and charge it in the porch or garden!)

A solar trickle charger going to the OBD11 port should do just that matey. Free energy too, hippy Lexus driver

Not saying they are bad, but the DENSO lettering is defo not the same as my 3 original keys...just saying.

Hope they work out well for you

Thanks for the replies guys, makes one feel at home
