Thanks to everyone, I have now managed this, it was quite easy. 1 very happy wife, just have to keep my eye on her phone bill now. Thanks again

Thank you

I have a is 250 2008 reg. with the mark levinson sound system Bluetooth etc. My mobile phone is usually connected to the system automatically,but just lately, for personal reasons my wife on her own has to drive 100 miles quite frequently, it would be good for her, if I could connect her mobile when she uses the car, but keep mine on there as well. Is this possible?

Thanks Glyn

Hi yes that size tyre Avon zv7xl

Hi John, and just to let everyone else know, who responded to my first post on being a new member. i have now had my Lexus fixed. The rear tyres cost £186 for the pair, my front discs and pads (local garage) cost £211 my supposed oil leak from rocker cover was non existent cost £ 00. And my biggest problem - according to Lexus I needed my exhaust replacing - £50 for a touch of welding. Therefore overall costs. £447. A bit different to the approx. Cost of £2500 from Listers Lexus of Cheltenham. It also sailed through the MOT. i have treated myself to a new set of mats, seat cover for my drivers seat, and 2 s steel tail trims for my exhaust. Highly delighted. thanks again to everyone,Mike

Thanks for that info, much appreciated.

Thankyou for all the replies

Thanks for the reply, Pablo quoted 1800 for exhaust + 140 for bolts gaskets etc. 290 for front discs and pads. 250 for engine oil leak + 200 for rear tyres. the point I am trying to make, which I omitted from my original post. my Lexus IS is in excellent condition inside and outside, and considering I have had it nearly 9 years, apart from usual wear and tear I.e. Tyres and brake pads etc. Oil changes etc. This is the first time I gave been faced with a large bill.

Hi, I think I should introduce myself, I live in Worcester and my name is Mike i currently own a IS.250 v6. I have owned this car from new, and in January 2017 it is 9 years old and has done 77,000 miles. i have recently took the car for a call back issue, and the dealers Listers Lexus in Cheltenham did a visual check on my car. Basically they have told me that I need to spend approx. £2500.00 on brake discs + pads, a small engine leak, a complete exhaust system and 2 rear tyres. Now here is my problem, do I spend that sort of money, and hopefully, as near as damn it, end up with a car as good as it can be, taking its age etc. Into consideration. Or do I purchase a used ct200 for approx. 12000.00 plus my car with a mileage of 24k. i really do not know what to do, and would appreciate anybody's advice or comments regarding my quandary. i may add that £2500 is quite manageable, with my financial circumstances, but £12000 is really pushing the boat out. Thankyou, Mike
