  1. £300.00 for plugs is not right i payed circa £150.00 last year at Lexus Bradford. All the bits have to come off anyway to do fuel seal. And by the way that is free its a recall. Gear box oil is not replaceable its a sealed unit. Plugs are about £80.00 a set from Birmingham Lexus. So inform your dealer to undo 6 coil packs and replace the plugs is circa £150.00 robbing t****
  2. Yes exhaust price of a good car, absolutely ridiculous. Did you not consider buying the car back.
  3. Supermarkets are a pain, i always go as far away as possible as you did. Aldi where i live is absolutely terrible, hardly enough room for a bike let alone a car. Its about time the spaces were made wider. Its all well and good getting x amount of spaces,and putting signs parked at owners risk. Which is as good as saying dings will happen. On one forum i am on guy states he looks for the cleanest vehicles and parks his wreck at the side of them sad b. Cars are written off for silly things due in part to cost of parts. Take our cars parts are not cheap and spares are few and far between. Paint is not cheap, neither is labour costs. And when you say to these body shops its an insurance job. £ signs are already ringing.
  4. That is terrible, bumper comes off easy roughly 6 10mm bolts underneath 2 10mm under front wheel arch cover and 4 on top i believe. 2 10mm and a couple of plastic clips.
  5. Mine has sensors front and rear. Also heated and cooled seats, so imagine it was specked from new. In america all sel have sunroof but not all do in uk. { se model }
  6. Well i would not give it a second look. Dealer stamp means absolutely nothing, they miss more than they do. And going by that dealers mechanic his glasses do not work very well. Does the interior look like the mileage shown in the book?? Does it look like the extra 30,000 mile interior. Steering wheel is a good sign of mileage. Seat condition carpet condition gear lever condition.
  7. Yes just walk away from it. One mistake ok but 3 can not believe it. Have you done a check on gov.com??
  8. Yes quite possible, are all the connectors pushed home properly.
  9. As i understand every connector only fits in its place. They are all mark levinson on lexus.
  10. Its either provisional or full that is it. Sounds like you have a full licence, Your insurance company are wrong, does it not state full on the licence.
  11. Well you can not legally drive with out a qualified driver with you. Why have you not had your test.
  12. Dvla only keep records for 10 years now by all accounts. A great big thing about it all in motorcycle news. If police are having to retake the test what chance do we have. https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/dvla_and_thousands_of_missing_li http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?119317-Motorcycle-Entitlement-quot-Disappeared-quot-from-my-licence
  13. Have you recently had your photo licence renewed. Loads of bikers including police officers, are receiving their licence back without a full motor bike on it. It happened to a mechanic at work when he passed his pcv. Could not prove where he had his test, as the centre had shut. Cost him a £1000.00 to retake all the tests in a day. He had just come back from touring france on a bmw 1200 bike.
  14. Have a mild steel one made. Its the stainless steel that causes the issues. If you get a 200 cell cats you get the benefit of the flow, and a few bhp. If you just get the cat back you still gain noise, when i have had exhausts made i ask for the oem sound. Which is different due to the metals. You can have any tail pipe fittings you wish for. There are loads of different videos on utube of stainless steel ones. Noise is great for 10 minutes then gets on your nerves. That is only my 2 penny worth, stainless would be cheaper. There is a place at leeds Phone:0113|2798966 Email:tonybanks.co.uk@sky.com States hes a lexus specialist .
  15. Also the system you are looking at, states may not ship to uk. No postage shown, i would get one made up myself i do not like loud and booming either. If you buy from ebay, and do not like the sound you will be stuck with it.
  16. That is the germans for you. Options lists are huge on their vehicles. Lexus are good value on the standard cars, only exception is stereo upgrade.
  17. Could be door barriers not working properly. Seems a big problem on certain Bmw models. Take the door panels off and check them.
  18. Its a bumper off job, but that is easy some good vids on utube. 6 x 10 mill bolts underneath the bumper 1 on either side of top wheel arch behind lining. And 2 bolts on top and 4 clips where the grill is. Sounds hard but its easy.
  19. They are easy to remove just watch utube video. Does not cost the earth either, but i can not see that solving the window problem. But modern cars are a strange thing and loads of problems occur from one fault. it could of damaged the alternator. But i would expect battery light on. Maybe another member will be along and have a different answer. Do not just throw money on things, it will become expensive.
  20. Its been a while since i removed mine. There must be a fused live to the stereo, is yours the sat nav stereo? I have posted your problem on other sites i frequent but as of yet no reply.
  21. Do you know anybody with a diagnostic machine? When you started the engine are they any lights on the dash?? Have you checked all the fuses even the micro ones.
