I really don’t know 🤔 ……. whatever ProTyres had available from their supplier …… I had to wait a day for their stock to arrive for fitting I do understand there are various Falken tyre styles but for me, being a simple soul and normal non aggressive driving ….. I was happy with whatever they could supply Just bought another one ( pothole destroyed ) for my Honda Legend too and £125 “ all-up” No tyres are inexpensive these days ! Malc

Have you the RX400h too ? Malc

Pilkington certainly know how to make First Class glass and I wouldn’t hesitate to accept Malc

Actually NO …… I found a better source of the Falkens and shod with those yet again But Kumho came very close …… I changed my supplier to ProTyres a local provider too Malc

Whatever, it’s an indication of a paucity of numbers ! Malc

Ah so on the Honda Legend it’s Live 151. and. 324 Sorn …. still tiny numbers of all ages the Lexus Ls400 303 Live and Sorn 774 the same total as I mentioned above but mixed a bit differently …….. OR should we double the figures overall do you think 🤔 Ls430s I’ll never understand …… far too modern for me 😂 Malc

Many congratulations but just don't need your spare wheel, spacesaver ever . it doesn't have one nor any space for it either ! Get a flat and your RAC whatever should be there for you ok tho' Many Congratulations, hope your Arbarth is doing good 👍 Malc

I've just thought to check this out from the How Many Left website Ls400s 2023 Qtr 4 it's Licensed 545 and SORN 532 but even more shocked for the stats ( with my 2006 Honda Legend ) . this is for for ALL Honda Legends produced and sold in the UK from about 1988 2023 Qtr 4 Licensed just 20 and SORN 44 The wonderful car Honda made that no-one wanted to buy ! Malc

You’ll need to study the fine print ………. USA and your State Law will govern all the Ts&Cs and how the warranty provider can …….. get out of its responsibilities ……… You’ll have to study it all I’m afraid and 🙏 you never need it ! Good luck Malc

Welcome to this Forum …… ENJOY your new toy as much as possible 👍 Malc

Peace of mind at $1000 a year sounds good …….. just try to maximise use of the car to ENJOY Welcome to this forum Malc

Hi. I’ve never bought a brand new Lexus so don’t know the OEM level of battery quality robustness ……. all my battery replacements that I’ve personally bought over the years have been of max Ah irrespective of cost …… I just don’t want the inconvenience of a failure ….. always at the worst possible moment I’ve no doubt BUT for Lexus to effectively, on a brand new car, skimp on the battery quality is just terrible and unforgivable…….. Doubtless all other common manufacturers operate this same skimping principle ……. to save pennies and destroy their reputation ……. An £80/100k Lexus car with a crap battery at new is disgraceful …… well, as is any brand new showroom car …… Not sure I’m ever going to buy a brand new car again whatever ( hahaha my first and last a Hillman Imp in 1969 at age 19 ) 2ndhand older Lexus Ls400s have been brilliant for me ….. for a decade or several now 😂 I really pity all these Lexus owners suffering this OEM breakdown in relative competency and understanding of their Client needs Malc

Specific irritant bulb removal possible ? Or are bulbs no longer there in a 2006 car ! Malc

Just imagining the after effects of your steaming to remove your wrinkles …….. supping that bottle of Prep/Degreaser might help a little ……… your Missus encouraging you in all this self flagellation …….. is she that fed-up 🤣 Malc

Modern batteries coping with modern cars and their copious electronics and parasitic drain issues …….. just aren’t up to the job …….. and seem to ( often ) fail while under the guarantee period …… or within too short a period anyway vide: My 2006 Honda Legend ….. £160+ Varta battery failed 4 years into the 5 year warranty …… the replacement lasted just over a year ……. give up on Varta …… this new replacement wouldn’t hold any charge after failure 🤔 Nephew tells me his 12v battery will cost him £600 to replace in his 2013 Range Rover …… whichever model it is My 1932 Triumph Southern Cross Sports Tourer simple 12v battery is £66 👍….. zero electronics helps My 91 Ls400 Yuasa 5 yr gtee battery was @£165 last year ….. little electronics to cope with …… seems and “ feels “ brilliant every day …… so far ! I just don’t think they make car batteries sufficiently robust, whatever the cost, to cope with the electronic drain modern, newer cars put upon them Battery manufacturers really need to “ up their game “ ……. simply not fit for purpose 🥵 Malc

Your query has got me thinking Trying to find the exterior main paint code for my 91 Ls400 and really difficult BUT hunting thru' all the paperwork with the car I found it handwritten, specified in the Original Lexus Service Book handed down with the car Flint Grey Pearl code no. 180 for me If you have the old paperwork then it might be there somewhere Good hunting Malc

OMG wot a bugger ……. the sheer stupidity of irreverent modern electronicory technology ……. that just causes unnecessary issues and expensive frustration 🥵 Malc

The leprechauns are now blessed with an olde shamrock lounging beaut of your Ls400 A great place for her next life …….. might you go see her sometime ……. it’s a wondrous country to tour in your Ls400 ……. beautiful scenery and people Best wishes Malc

Ian hi. Is this a TPMS sensor ? Which for UK MOT you don’t officially need on your 2006 car 🤔 but as you’re non-uk ? Your rules might be different ! Malc

Sadly including that Rolls Royce that passed and that’s a what would now be a new £half million electronic wizz too but with a V12 6.75 ltr petrol engine …….. No brand new car’s going to last the course of time with the desperate need of developers and buyers to elektronikfie absolutely everything 🥵 BUT I wholeheartedly agree about the 1963’ish RR Silver Cloud 111 ……… my silly dream is/was to buy myself a 1965 Bentley S3 with power steering ……. earlier ones and the RR didn’t have that as standard …….( same car different badge ) ……. beautiful lines and styling Thinking to buy one these past few years BUT my Indy mechanic told me it would be on the Transporter down to him as much as I would ever use it ……. needing copious constant and very very expensive repair ……. telling me quite simply my Ls400 being a far more sensible car to own and run and with great reliability, longevity and comfort too So I bought myself my 2nd one just to make sure 😂 Malc I still hanker after that 1965 Bentley S3 😳

Grilled Roast or simply boiled 🤣 Malc

……… sprinkled with ?? Malc

Looks like a Fred Dibnah target ……. he’d miss your car tho I’m sure Has he passed ? Malc

Well done, seems an excellent buy ……. and a trip around the Le Mans circuit area ? is it really just local roads ? Did you investigate at all on your trip ? I’ve not been there for some decades ……… in a Ls400 of course 👌 Malc

P’raps adorned with Union Jack ….. style 🤣 ….. seeing Wendy Craig Butterflies mini car roof 👍👌👏 Malc
