one shouldn't have to do anything to an 18 month young car save servicing regularly and properly ....... whatever the make Marque of car let alone a LEXUS Malc

SAGA ......... for possibly useless info ........... When Roger de Haan sold out to the present owners, investors some 20 or more ? years back and pocketed £1.5bn for the business he had created from scratch ............ Saga has forever had challenges getting it quite right and challenges making money .. or even covering it's financing costs . ..... the sometimes useless power of corporate investors eh ! The other day I read that his son, the arts guy in Folkestone, De Haan, had just invested £150mn into Saga to help them out .......... Wonder if this is going to mean at some time the de Haan's family will once again be the SAGA owners and bring it back to it's ethos of helping the Over 50's Market Doubt anyone else can do it . a few potentials have tried to get it together to take them over for sure btw Roger de Haan I met doing a business deal about 25 years back . a sound sane pleasant but businesslike guy at the time whatever .... never met his son tho' Malc

I too have a brilliant Honda Legend alongside my everlasting Ls400s The Honda is indeed a very very rare car and mine has 148k now with Honda Main Dealer servicing stopping some 7 years back when I bought her from my bro in law A simple 3.5ltr petrol engine that will probably go on forever .. spares, well, never needed any apart from wiper blades, brakes and tyres and one screen wash jet from the Main Dealer ..... my bro in law did however spend a lot of money with the HMD 🤑 BUT I knew I wouldn't have to, fingers xd She's a brilliant car but I do so prefer my Ls400s ..... simple V8 4ltrs of course Just for info if you reconsider !

There’s a fair few tyre places near me in my part of Kent ranging from Halfords. Kwik Fit and at least half a dozen true independents …… it’s a competitive marketplace and in a well-shod area of not so common cars too …… oh, and the common stuff too ….. like Bentleys whatever 😂 Malc

That’s all I paid at one of my local tyre places last year Malc

How old is your existing battery you’re thinking to replace ? Go on to the GSF website to check out their price for your replacement battery maybe 🤔 Malc

‘Aving a larf methinks …… 10 squid tops to refit an existing tyre to an existing wheel where it’s just the old seal leaking thru’ age ……. Nevermind, they have a price for Lexus owners and another for mere mortals …….. hope the others are ok 🤔 Take them off your Xmas card list eh 😂 Malc

Seems a tad expensive to reseal an ok tyre …… who did u use ?

Really don’t understand why Lexus at the Centre couldn’t make this info available tbh …… if they wanted to be usefully helpful ! Malc

Well done ……. I’m still an advocate of blasting these miscreants and those individuals associated by way of directors, shareholders and their directors too where they can be identified ……. onto a widely embraced BLACKLIST Malc

That’s brilliant ……. please make that widely known on this Forum ……. maybe a Mod can suggest a sub heading whatever to amplify this for ALL TO SEE Malc

Has the car the online Lexus service history schedule ….. from new to whenever ? Malc

4 yellow space-savers and it really will be a “ noddy “ car 🥳 Malc

Has it not had Full Lexus Service History to retain its 10yr Relax ? Warranty Malc

That's an amazng price difference 🤑 Malc

Brilliant car yours and outstanding miles ……. but sadly of little value at this time whatever the condition ……. My 95 Ls400 at 248k mikes probably has very little value even tho’ I’d expect her to last another 250k miles and 25 years …….. value now maybe £1k …… that’s what I think insurance write off value might be at this time 🤔 Your’s is brilliant car …… I think a recent’ish 97 car at 25k miles sold for about £18k and the new owner probably will rarely use her …….keep her in aspic Like you probably , I think we have had amazing quality motoring for very little money over 26 years AND have the opportunity to continue this way forward for zilch, very little money costs Your car methinks has, sadly, very small value £££ tbh Wonder what others might think ?? I hope I’m wrong ! Malc

Create that BLACKLIST too someone ....... let's pusue them for whatever odious actions can be generated against those individuals and their Shareholders .. and if the shareholders are corporates then the individuals behind those too Malc

I've often achieved 20 - 25 k miles per tyre / per axle, with proper balancing tracking alignment whatever .......... over decades with my Ls400s Malc

P’raps the RAC is consummately better than the AA …… I’ve been an RAC member since 1967 ……. get free full membership now it seems …… maybe my longevity plays a part in quality service from them, the RAC Malc maybe you should dump the AA and join the RAC 🤔

when I recently called out the RAC for battery issues an email followed specifying ALL the battery checks and itemised isssues therein Malc

or in my case the affluent luxury of burr walnut and leather of my 1969 Wolseley 16/60 ……. with starting handle …… oh and lots and lots of demonic rust 🥵 Malc

Voice might have simply been AI produced ……… 🤔 Malc

Don’t pull that trigger …… chill and go on a well deserved break instead …….. flight to where sir ? 😂 Santa’s sleigh needs a trip out now Malc

Aluminium corrodes away like steel ........ you rarely see a Rover 2000 etc these days ...... all aluminium bodies tyhen invented to save the ferric very very rust 🤣 Malc

many brand new batteries come with a warranty of 3 or 4 or 5 years ........ which was your's when replaced i wonder ? If it's just about to expire then the local Lexus / Toyota spares dept could probably supply and fit, on the spot, a good value Yusua from their stores . they will make sure everything is kept when doing the changeover, but remind them just in case .. and enjoy their free coffee too Over the decades I've found the Toyota Main Dealer spares Dept very competitive on new battery price too Malc
