where you been taking yours?

Hi Malc I agree to an extent to the 'attitude' and customer service aspect. Due to the advice on forums such as this I have to consider you guys know what you are talking about regarding servicing etc so I am considering cancelling my kwik fit booking and going japex instead from now on..

Thanks again for this john. Im thinking of booking my intermediate service at Japex, (i do 2 services a year due to high miles). Are you aware if there are any advantages if any of servicing at a specialist rather than your halfords and kwik fits who are cheaper? Thanks

Thanks John

Hi, I usually go to jem lexus in north london for a service but the website says they are closed. Does anyone know any alternatives by any chance? I've always gone there so never had to look anywhere else before Thanks

at first i thought it mightbe the boot wasnt closed propery but when i heard the sound in the video thats not the sound it makes so not sure but wish you luck wish us updated

Hi, Has anyone ever seen got there's replaced? I've just been quoted £135 by my local Toyota but other than ebay not just where else to look.

They said the comes comes like that and he doesn't know why as he finds it annoying also

**update Just got back from LEXUS and I can confirm that they disabled the sound for me. Now when I put items in reverse I only hear 1 beep then it's silent till the rear parking is sensors comet on. Because I went in for the somethimg else they did not it for free but dont know if there's a charge if you just wanted it disabled. Hopefully this helps other people in here who are looking to get rid of the sound too!

im gonna ask lexus to see if they can disable the sound - i'm going there anyway for the heat shields fitting. will update....

it's defo not the parking sensors

yeah - ive got a reverse camera and parking sensors, why do i need to hear a beep that sounds like a garbage truck lol

Every time you reverse you hear that annoying beeping sound similar to the sound you hear when they come and collect your rubbish bins lol. Anyone know if there is an actually way of getting rid of the sound?

Just goes to show you that you can never tell when they will try and strike. I am now convinced that they attempt to steal plates. I'm now going to search which secure plates to get. This comes at a good time and Im getting a private reg anyway and will new to get them printed and put on anyway.

all they have to do is look at the cable and cut it, the cable will be more likely to be found, they will look at the fuse box to disconnect the dash cam and this gps tracker, they also check the ODB port as some gps trackers use that port also. The battery powered ones does the same thing, monitor in real time on an app you can have on your phone. Just a quick search online showed this - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Winnes-Location-Tracking-Portable-Real-time/dp/B09BZKL3XF/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=gps%2Btracker%2Bbattery%2Bpowered&qid=1642955506&s=electronics&sr=1-4&th=1 you can shuve it anywhere and dont have to worry about the install and cables being shown, their gonna check your fuse box anyway. Just charge the thing once a week or 2 weeks whatver it is - 10,000 mah battery

I agree with what your saying although when it comes to the police knocking on your door - they would check the car and see the plate doesnt match the car they have put the plate on first. They are clone plates without them even stealing them in the first place so if the police even do come round after doing their checks if so happens they have the exact same make, model and colour as your car then I have a dash cam which records 24/7 - so you are right about the dash cam.

you cant put it anywhere really as you have physically connected it to your fuse box. The ones im thinking of where you literally put anywhere are battery operated. i hear what your saying about the wheel lock, although it can be cut and also have clone keys - they can act a a deterrent and can hopefully put the thief's off and make them think twice, might have to get one myself.

I didn't knw people would go to those lengths, what a sad life these people have stealing and getting innocent people in trouble, you make a good point. Fair play on getting that GPS tracker - i'm actually looking for one for my car too which i was going to start a thread about to see what other people have. Just looked ta the one got, its cheap and seems easy to install but dont you think its worth getting one where you could hide somewhere incase god forbid your car gets stolen because they seems to look for trackers when they steal because some people dont hide them, just saying

excuse my ignorance but who would actually steal someone number plate? never heard of that before. What would they do with it, its useless

congrats on the car. I've got a 2011 one and they fold atomically when you lock the car. there is a button on the right hand side of the steering wheel which is an auto folding button.

Hi Went in for a hybrid health check at the LEXUS dealership and they said my heat shield for the fuel tank and exhaust are missing. Basically £355 to put them on but anyone know if it really makes a difference as i've been driving around without them a haven't noticed anything. Anyone ever had it done? Thanks :)

congrats on the car - i've got he same one - 2011 SEL-PREMIER. if your worried about the hybrid battery i can tell you mine has been fine and it's done 94k miles lol go to lexus and pay £60 for a hybridh health check, it covers the hybdrid battery for 1 year/10k miles - thats what I do.

Your right, no point going kwik fit. Thanks

Some of the them do, got one done before with my prius so depends where you go. I will defo check the oil, thanks.
