I do need to get the polycarbonate polished which might help a bit. Paul, did you fit the bulbs yourself? Thanks for the comments!

As dark nights start to close in one of the only bug bears I have with my car is getting closer to the front of my mind. The dipped beam is awful on my car! Does anyone else think so on their GS’s and if so has anyone come up with an improvement? Updated bulbs perhaps? I do have to drive at night a lot and have missed junctions before now because I couldn’t see them approaching. Help!! Andy

Thanks John It is quite far and I’d have to wait with the car. Have they done the major service on yours? If so was it significantly cheaper than a main dealer and worth the journey?

Can anyone recommend a good independent garage for the major service on a 450h in the Coventry/West Midlands area?

Thanks Paul!

Hi all, Ive owned my GS450h for over 3 years and it looks like I’m going to own it for quite a while longer as I’m taking the plunge and starting my own business (Providing business development services to technology developers and associated companies in the automotive arena if anyone is interested 🔌!) As my car is 9 years old and with 83k miles on it are there any problems looming that I should be aware of and taking preventative action about? It has been serviced by Lexus up until it’s last service which I had done at Halfords. Are there any indie specialists in the West Mids who can service these as well as a genuine Lexus service centre but more competitively? Lastly I have a grinding noise from the front offside on full lock. I’m told it is the disc touching the backplate which is easy to fix by tweaking the backplate away from the disc with a screwdriver which sounds straightforward. I’m just a bit nervous in case there are any HV cables near there linked to the regen system that I’m not aware of. Can anyone offer any guidance? Cheers Andy
