My 83 year old father looks after my IS300 now. I don't let him go out when it's slippy.

Have to say I'm the same. Paid a fortune over the years but largely back where I started, buying Autoglym stuff from Halfords.

Is it this? https://www.lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/lexus-ux/lexus-ux-2018-present/lexus-ux-engine-service-kits/lexus-petrol-fuel-system-cleaner/ Looks like one bottle does a tank so I'd add at below a quarter before filling up.

They're popular on here. Forum sponsors or something. They're actually a main dealer darn saaf somewhere.

Oh I'm just talking out of the back of my neck then. Thought you had a MKIII https://www.lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/category/lexus-gs/lexus-gs-phase-iv-2012-2018/lexus-gs-4-brakes-transmission/

Wow! But that I don't know. I just looked here https://www.lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/category/lexus-gs/lexus-gs-phase-iii-2005-2012/lexus-gs-3-brakes-transmission/ Maybe give them a call. I've spoken to them a couple of times and though I've only ordered once they seem a friendly bunch. Only ordered once because I can nearly see my local dealer from where I'm sat now.

Or try one of these. Marvellous things. I only keep cars about a year and will normally clay (see above, just use water to lube), polish (AG) and seal/wax (Fusso) when I get them. It's part of my playing with cars procedure. I prefer to hand wash if I can because I find it quite therapeutic but I do use the local hand wash because I know them and I never let them use traffic film remover or acid. I do occasionally use an automatic if I haven't got round to the previously mentioned stuff yet and also the kids find it very entertaining Luckily I have a guy who works for me who's well into the whole detailing thing and on the GS and LS he's offered to machine polish and seal them. If I've had that done the automatic is out and I'm less likely to use the hand wash. When I leased new vehicles I used to spend a fortune on different products and put aside days to pamper the car. Since having kids I figure life's too short and the above does me. Tbh I probably prefer getting my hands dirty on the car now.

Ah. I assumed you were doing it yourself.

Very much appreciated. Though I'll probably try and twist @steve2006's arm and get him to do it

More to it than that John. I'm not a wealthy man and none of my recent cars have been economical but they have been enjoyable. None have been on finance either and that lack of £xxx per month buys a lot of fuel!

Unless I'm missing something that's extortion. LPD show £379.20 for front and rear. And I know my local Lexus dealer would match or beat that because they always do.

Just what was used on my LS the other day and it looks great.

No experience with the above but I can recommend the GROM UK aux and Bluetooth devices. Not sure they allow for the steering wheel controls though.

Wipe over with a mucky rag just before I sell it

There is what appears to be a slightly odd mind set with main dealers. My '02 IS which has full dealer history and low mileage, can't do enough. The '02 GS with at best patchy history and double the mileage, it's a scrapper, get rid while you can.

They didn't want to do it.

Very interesting steve2006wholivesjustdowntheroundfromme Sorry, derailing thread but it happened yesterday and again today. I read up and didn't like what I saw. Me and soldering. Oh no, no.

Excellent news. I've a feeling the original salesperson will have got a bit of a rocket. Deserves one at least. If your initial query hadn't been handled in such a dismissive manner all this unpleasantness could have been avoided. Well done Linas and well done Lexus.

Tell me more! While I wait to see what @TigerFish comes up with

I asked a similar question recently when I was toying with idea of buying a used IS250. The replies were few and I could find no info at all on the Lexus website.

Hi Rick. Have you still got this? The backlights on my stereo are playing up but your 12yo link is dead

My Saab convertible was with Footman James but I had absolutely no luck with them for the LS, GS or a Soarer I was considering.

Had the car machine polished and sealed yesterday Ignore the murder truck in the background.

Wow.

Hi John. I'd hoped for the GROM solution but got a no from them when I got in touch. I did wonder if it was just they didn't want to commit so went to check the harness myself but actually there's a really good How to... here by @Howplum that shows the harness in detail so I was able to save myself the hassle and compare with the GROM harness I already have. Unfortunately it's not a match. So more investigation into Dension required I think. But tbh I've been rather enjoying the cassette and CD players and just ignoring phone calls I've also rediscovered the retro delights of burning CDs.
