    This will affect me massively, but I do see the need for London to be cleaned up, I also see that it will be a strain on poorer households and will cripple business that depend on passing trade. While I understand our Mayor's overriding need is to make a name for himself, I fail to see the difference ulez will make. Black cabs will still churn out black smoke (they've suffered enough due to uber so deserve a break), businesses will pay the fee and pass it on to customers, and my neighbour (still wondering what village is missing its idiot) will carry on chucking manky old pallets on his open fire.

    Good to hear you got it sorted so quickly Eamonn, took me a while to get around to doing it, partly due to the damage not being that noticable - and partly due to building up the bottle to tackle that bit where you pull the mirror off!! The guide's been amended accordingly
  3. IS200D
    No problem Eamonn, glad to help! By the way I bought mine off Lexus on Ebay for about £80, but its still worth a quick google.
  4. IS200D
    Yes, and its easy to replace....here's a link to a guide I diid after replacing mine. The part number number you require is 81730-53020. Great colour scheme on your car by the way!

    A dash cam prevents fraud, captures idiots/imcompetence/maliciousness, and doesn't cost a fortune.....whereas encountering any of the forementioned without a cam, could cost you a small fortune. To me its a no-brainer.

    I agree re the motion sensor/floodlight, bollards are a pain putting up and taking down, and they're only as good as their fixing.

    Mine's done. Left it with them yesterday mid morning and picked it up same time today, as don't do traffic jams. Everything seems fine, but I'll be checking for creaks. Asked for a rx as a loan car but got an is, knew it was a rather large ask so not that bothered. Got £25 of fuel, which was a nice little surprise.

    For the moment I'd say a Lexus LS 430 is the best option. I've been watching Tesla for years ever since meeting someone who had a Tesla roadster (as well as an electirc rav4), but range anxiety, price, build quality and break down issues have always put me off Tesla. a while ago I nearly put a deposit on a model 3, but my local Tesla rep couldn't address issues I had(forgot what they we're but it was enough to not bother with a test drive). The only thing I wish I had I had done was buy some of their shares, as a punt in 2013 would be worth a few quid more today!

    Could you benefit from a service loan car experience? Lexus Edgware rd service dept are always pretty obliging and I've ruled out a couple of cars after getting them as loan cars, like the ct200h's too small with a harsh ride, and the is300h wasn't right for me right - it was very good, but I've been pining for a hatchback since my 4th gen Celica. They offered me a NX, while its really the RX I want to experience, but they couldn't do it - but you shouldn't have a problem getting a is300h, as they seem to have loads of them.

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking, at least one positive out of being one of the last in a very long queue. Mind you, this is all par for the course. In the states loaners and compensation are all the rage, while long waits and scratches are much more our bag.

    Convenience is the top reason I use them. My dealer at Edgware Rd offers all three options as per Mike's comment.

    Well, I got quoted for stuff two years ago, which miraculously disappeared the next service, then the same total sum reappeared - but for something else this year. Does make you wonder.
  14. IS200D
    Now that is disappointing, I would expect at least one of them to say 'ah well, win some, lose some'!
  15. IS200D
    Thanks for letting us know. I'll be ringing my local dealer to see if they've dropped the don't have a clue act, in favour of looking like a company who actually gives a toss about their customers.
  16. IS200D
    This is exactly why I never drive without a dash cam, as its like nobody wants to take responsibility for their own actions nowadays. There no question he was in the wrong lane for where he was going, yet had he at least carried out his dodgy lane change in the correct manner, this thread wouldn't exist. What I've yet to understand is why dashcams aren't installed at the point of manufacture.
  17. IS200D
    At Edgware Rd they did a video walk round of my car at last month service, but a simple visual check is sufficient, so just ask if they don't offer. As others have said, just dont let them wash it, and I'm sure they'll be happy with that. What I have noticed is that when they changed a tyre last time, my wheel had this really hard to remove black gunk on it, so this time I said I'll sort it out myself - so their loss.
  18. IS200D
    Glad to read you sorted it, as Phil said, the dealer got off lightly.
  19. IS200D
    This is incredible, what sort of ignorant low life could possibly think this make sense....I mean this is like 99.99999% risk/0.00001% reward
  20. IS200D
    Good for you, please let us know how you get on. Just to reassure you that you are doing the right thing, a sd card is very minor in comparison to what I've insisted dealers sort out.
  21. IS200D
    What a poor response. My reply to that would have been ' and I wouldnt have bought it if I had known the sat nav wasn't working properly'!
  22. IS200D
    That sounds more like laquer than paint that they gave you. I bought a touch up pack from an ebay Lexus retailer which contains both paint and laquer. Used it today actually, while touching up the alloys, and results are good. You just need to be really tight with the paint, and if you dont get the chip/scratch spot on, just wipe it off and try again.
  23. IS200D
    I asked what the difference was last time my is200d was serviced, and was told no stamp, no filter change and hinges not lubricated. I got a £75 discount on the normal service, so the price difference was only £41 (370 full service, 329 full essential), had it been the original the £445 I would have probably gone for the essential.
  24. IS200D
    You're right. My last Lexus service (60k mile type)report sheet shows an unticked box next to 'replace diesel fuel filter every 7 years or 50k miles'...so I guess the technician must have attempted it before and thought I'm not doing that again!
  25. IS200D
    What year is your car John, only I'm thinking I wont even ask a mechanic to do mine (and hoping mines not full of crap), after the reading all the nightmare storys on this thread!
