Have a look on eBay, there’s one for £250 BUT I’ve just been offered it for £200 BUT I don’t have a RX yet 😢. The one I traveled for 3 hours today was miss advertised 😢……. About £80 on train down the drain.

Morning all, im looking at an RX450h tomorrow, I’ve been in Lexus cars for about the last 20 years, sold my ISF a couple of months ago BUT miss the quality of the cars, I’ve opted for the 2013 MY RX as my only car, we’ve two dogs (kids off hand) but want a nice place to be for our twice yearly jaunts to Spain. Train for work but Norfolk n the lakes are often taken (family)……. What would be a realistic MPG for 1300 mile non stop journey? Did this in my ISF and got 35mpg, currently doing it in a V50 2.4i and get 34.8mpg, we don’t drive faster than the roads so normally sit around 70-80mph…….. most research is in US figures, thank you Paul

Westfield motors at Rayleigh looked after my ISF, couldn’t recommend them enough, Ian and Chris are excellent and so is Andree who has his own ISF……..

They’re the same stud pattern n use the same gaskets, only issue would be bore size from down pipe, the RCF and GSF were larger diameter than ISF.

Thanks for the update Callum, keep them coming too……… lm happier knowing she’s with someone who will look after her as well, all the best

😉….. always!…… hopefully a catch up this year 🤞🏻……. Spoke to ratty earlier too…… definitely a sad day mate 😢……

Well, today I saw my beloved ISF drive off into the distance, I’m sure Callum will be on here at some point, some great memories n great people I’ve met n still keep in contact……. Will probably pop on from time to time BUT it’s time to take that step forward. good luck to all, all the best, Paul

Hybrid system has 15yr warranty now, millage irrespective!…… £25 health check yearly.

My sentiments exactly!……. I’ll be putting a new hybrid system in before it gets changed 😂…… and at 98k it’s running like it always has. 👍🏻

From memory my manifolds cost £600 plus vat in labour, I supplied GSF manifolds, had to have a new O2 sensor, service and a couple of gaskets, I’m sure it was £1200 all inclusive

I think the road tax of 2017 was to stop the amount of VED free cars being sold and not paying tax (the wife has a 2015 Auris hybrid and it’s £0 VED)…… at 98k she’s running fine and will continue until she’s completely knackered)……. Over 80% of cars are HP or PCP purchases and keep the car industry turning over, the stealth tax was aimed at reducing the amount of cars sold in the higher bracket, I honestly think it was a bit of a “give back” to those who actually appreciate cars and own them…… obviously only my opinion

None whatsoever, it’s more about the profile height that will change the speedo reading, I went 20mm wider and 5 lower on profile height.

I’ve got 275/30/19 on the rears, went up 20mm on fronts too, does feel more grippy from standards. Fronts are a 35/19 profile to keep Speedo calibration as close as possible

I’ve a couple of school mates that own a tyre shop and they always recommend the Nexen Nfera SU1, I’m not ready for tyres yet BUT it’s coming, my research found they are on Porsche from new, probably not the Mitchelin quality BUT unless the car is tracked or driven like it’s stolen (hard to do either on U.K. roads) I’ve put Nexen on the wife’s car and her mums and my previous cars, never had an issue BUT like u am dubious about putting on the F…….. although I don’t drive silly n just the odd spurt on roads I know……. Any others input would be appreciated
