  1. This is a matter for the garages insurance not yours. The car was under their care and control. They are Bailees in civil law. You gave care and control of your vehicle to them and they have caused it to be damaged. If the vehicle has been involved in a non stop accident on a road it is up to them to report it to the police in accordance with the Road Traffic Act.
  2. Might be worth seeing if they will do a deal as part of the purchase for an extended warranty period?
  3. That's one of the great advantages of the Hybrid, no risk of 'winding up' the transmission. I know of someone with a Porsche Macan which has had 3 transfer cases under warranty and will need replacing again shortly .
  4. Don’t bother with the interior protection. Use a decent leather cleaner (Chemical Guys or Gliptone) and then a leather cream. My car with cream leather interior had a leather protector when it was new. After I bought it I found the product on Ebay(detailers sell surplus product there) and after cleaning gave it another coat. Enjoy 😊
  5. Doesn't look right, can't believe the bracket should be on the top of the bumper.
  6. The health check I believe can be done without servicing. The warranty issue is the conundrum. Would £2700 cover the cost of all repairs that might be required. I mentioned to the dealer on service that I thought the rear camera was slower in engaging than my previous 2 Lexus. They decided that they would replace the hard drive. The part alone was £1800 and with fitting would have been closer to the £2000 mark. To me extending the warranty was worth the approx £83 a month for 11 months it will cost. I have Gold membership so my Dealer gives me 15% discount on practically everything. To me it works, but to others it might not.
  7. Keep an eye out for offers from Michelin which crop up around this time of year. Got £100 back on preloaded debit card this time last year on a set of 4.Would have been £50 for a pair
  8. Do it. Don't forget it includes full AA cover for you and a partner plus 2 mots which covers anything required. If you become a Gold Member here you will get discount on all servicing.
  9. If your system is on a micro sd card then ebay might be your friend. I have previously bought an updated card from a guy in Ireland for around £75 for my IS300h.
  10. I thought this was possible, but I always put my baby granddaughters baby seat behind the front passenger seat.
  11. Lexus paid for mine to be refurbed as goodwii. Ditched the diamond cut for powder coat in dark chrome. Look great and much more practical
  12. I would definitely try driving the same year an model as yours to see if that is different
  13. The advice was Not to drive in eco all the time. Certainly I have found with all 3 of my cars that in normal mode they are just as frugal and more relaxing to drive. I have had a 2014 IS300h f sport , a 2015 GS300h luxury and now a 2015 RX450h Advance. Regards Les
  14. All I know is that the salesman I usually deal with at Cheltenham has given me that advice based upon doing driving at Lexus.
  15. Take it back to the garage that fitted them. Are you sure the parts are the same quality as the originals? I had Lexus Cheltenham replace front discs and pads for £297 with Gold discount.
  16. Michelin Cross Climates. Michelin often run promotions end of this month into October. Ive had 2 sets of tyres with £100 cashback on preloaded Visa card. Last month I had a horrendous journey on a flooded M5 and they were great. They also are extremely quiet compared to the OE Dunlops on my RX
  17. That sounds really disappointing.I don't know this product but I would imagine It should be smooth to the touch and bead when wet if the product has properly adhered to the paint. A quick Google reveals that it isn't that good just like many of the other long term finishes. I have tried a lot of polishes over the years and currently use Chemical Guys Blackllight. That lasts really well (my car does a lot of miles) is easy to apply and buffs off after setting for 20 minutes . I use every 6 to 9 months and when the car is washed I spritz it with another of their products Hybrid V7 which gives it a really smooth shine.
  18. Best to see the Lexus driving a hybrid videos on Lexus 👍
  19. I would certainly fight this decision by your insurers. Point out there is no betterment and say you will appeal their decision to the ombudsman. I have had experience of fighting these sort of matters and it is important not to weaken. Good Luck
  20. Strangely I had the very same thing happen the day before and have not encountered it on the three Lexus I've owned. Spooky🛸
  21. Is is a great car. GS even better, My 2015 GS300h luxury was better on fuel than my 2014 f sport IS300h and very luxurious
  22. The price is probably better because you have it on a service plan? I normally pay as I go because in the past my high mileage has meant I don't get the best value.
  23. £633 is the qoute after 15% discount applied.
  24. £633 is the qoute after 15% discount applied.
  25. B They are only changed every 60000 miles and a lot of components have to be removed from the engine to change the rear three plugs, hence the cost of the service.
