A quick note to say hello to all. Picked up a LS400 MkIV last friday and enjoyed a 180 Mile drive home in friday traffic from Castlefield to Ealing returning an indicated 33MPG! Rather shocked at that to be honest! Reasons for this car are size (I'm 6'3") and room for my children (both tall aready at 2 and 5) but mainly silence! I run a recording studio and produce/mix along with being a sesion musician and as such I'm surrounded by noise for 10 hours a day. The Lexus will be my "quiet room". It certainly doesn't disapoint in that department.. No real issues. Not sold on the budget tyres but I'll change those later in the year. Very slight steering wheel wobble under gentle braking (discs I would think) and the passanger door seal is slightly mis-aligned causing a bit of wind noise above 50mph. Couple of questions-tyre choice? I'm assuming there's many a thread on this (I usually go for Falkens) and a good indie garage in West London? It'll need a Cambelt next year so average cost? Feel free to point me in the right direction on this site, thanks! Looking forward to some long trips over the summer....in the quiet for once! Jim

Good advice much appreciated. Confirming my own thoughts on them. thanks!
