Hope you’re flush with cash 😄 Malc

I wouldn't want to be a dealer holding and financing stock for sure 😥 Malc

Thank you for this insight My Falkens are brilliant and I would use those again but seem to have fallen off the radar unless I pay 50% more than last time 😰 …… and hard to track down too Steve has given real time user review above and thank you Anyone else actually using them ? Thank you Malc

Well done 👍 Malc

A millionmiler would have most value 😂 Malc

Anyone experience of these and their everyday use ? Thank you Malc

Oh jeez ……. Thought you might be a 100% Natural Joker 😂 Malc

Any maintenance history throwing light on prior works ? I would personally wait for the next MOT time to reveal any potential issues …… unless there have been unattended to Advisories Malc

Try the Kia Carens …… built for the purpose and value for money ……. Ls600 rear seat 5th small adult ok …… a rare event maybe to carry back seat pax ? Malc

Oh my ……. wot ‘appnd to my suggestion to rent a little time on a garage ramp …… and save that 999 call to A&E 🤔 Buying that trolley jack £££££ cost might equate to garage ramp rent time you know ! We’ll miss your Posts you know 😰 Malc

😂😂😂😂😂 but hardly run-in …… yes Qamar yours is worth at least £35k ….. and mine £25000 and £15000 ( have we left a nought or two off these figures ? ) Blimey, someone’s going nuts over our beloved Ls’s’ 😄 Malc

and of course you need to be able to rub two bits together to get the heat for the flame to light it all 🥵 Malc

A youngster in our midst 👏 Malc

On the Ls600 and Bentley have you agreed limited mileage too ? Malc

If one is happy to use a bespoke stick-on replacement non tinted non heated glass mirror they can be ordered relatively inexpensive I bought one for my Ls400 @ £25 a couple of years ago ….. I had to send a paper template so be careful about that The new glass picks up the “ heat” from the original glass anyway ! A comparatively inexpensive fix if one wished to go that route ! Malc

Is there one amongst us do you think ? is that a piccy of Ursula Von der Leyen ….. the EU lady ? Malc

Don’t know your car’s mileage but lots of original stuff lasts 100/200k miles ……. the rubber boots / dust covers perish with age too and are relatively inexpensive …… but are necessary protection and often subject to an MOT Advisory If you’ve not yet had MOT or Advisory issues then it’s possible all is well currently …… if you can put up with some aged creaks and groans Everything always looks rust coloured underside but rarely of importance …….. Those creaks and groans might just be telling you that she needs using a lot more …… my recent purchase of the 1991 Mk1 worried me a little with those interminable and incessant creaks……. which with a lot of use have seemingly now just “ vanished “ Your car, if it’s not MOT Advisory nor Failure condition then it might be as well to leave alone and use her more ! Good luck making the right cost saving decisions Malc

…… and your phone to hand to dial 999 just in case 😱 Malc

LEXUSPARTSDIRECT should be fairly instant delivery if you want the job done asap with OEM parts if that's what they're offering Malc

Luke hi. Over many years I’ve bought Amayama and they have indeed been OEM stamped Toyota in plastic bags BUT certainly been more expensive than this indicative price range Usually a few hundred ££ for the UCAs but after all delivery vat Customs and Excise costs etc have worked out maybe 50% of Lexus/Toyota uk store prices Rockauto a good supplier and there’s LexusPartsDirect too What are the parts you’re looking for ( not numbers ) Malc

There’s recent Posts here about the availability of “ PolyBushings” from a company in ? Bournemouth maybe ! just the perishable bits ! Don’t know how successful it all is tho I’ve replaced( well my Indy mechanic has ) lots of expensive whole arms from Amayama over the years at about 50% of Lexus / Toyota prices ….. all marked Toyota originals too …… on the Ls400 they have an inordinate long life thankfully ….. up to 200k miles Good luck going forward Malc

An earlier Ls400 I bought from a car sales guy in Windsor many years ago, at a very competitive price, coz he had sold the original regn for shed loads ££££ ….. it was BCA3 British Car Auctions people bought it I guess ! Malc

No advice from me BUT I’m aware on some models the leaking drips onto the alternator and “ kaput “ Happened to me long way back on my first Mk1 on the M20 at night in the rain 😰 Good luck sorting the issues Malc

I’m sure AfterMarket could be available as they are with many other models ! Q. Presuming your car isn’t benefitting under any sort of Lexus warranty scheme ? I’d be very wary of simply acting on the “ advice “ of the Lexus Dealer mechanic as that seems to be pushing you into probably excessively expensive unnecessary “ fixes “ Does your independent MOT station also do servicing ? If so then I’d be inclined to simply ask them to do it all in the future …… if you can bear to forgo the Lexus Service stamp in the book …… if you’re keeping this 8 y/old car then I’d be inclined not to worry about the sans Lexus stamp in the book …… it might happily and sensibly save you £’000s Just my simple view 🤔 Malc

I think I would want to be, well I really am ........... simply an older Ls400 .. solid, safe, reliable, hardly ever breaksdown, very very comfy but above all ........ can be very very fast and very quick off the mark 😇 Malc
