  1. That was a two year average. Mk 3 2009 which is probably your £4k budget. Not so sure I would be happy with one over 15 years old now though due to huge complexity. One big bill and it will end up in the bin.
  2. I got about 35mpg out of my 450h. Great car. Nothing actually went wrong in two years I had it.
  3. will do....surely if it fits front then rear will be ok
  4. Wheel arrived today. Very snug fit. Boot just closes. Tyre is 10mm wider than OEM spare. Wife is buying grey wool! Have to source a spare bit of tool cover mat to butcher.
  5. I was the same. It is the competitive nature of some to get that mpg figure as high as possible. In my GS450h I got 45 mpg on a 120 mile trip by never exceeding 50.
  6. Driving to max out the ev is not the correct way, tempting though it is. Use the ev to help you when you have reached cruising speed.
  7. Oooh knitted eh? My wife knits.
  8. Company in Eastern Europe make spare wheel covers...... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264763726237?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ExFBlwPMQzC&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=-Xw-SSzkQbS&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  9. Found a keyring! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123834731507?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=RIs5goS_T0O&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=-Xw-SSzkQbS&var=426778082976&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  10. After the huge turnout has been number crunched I went with the consensus and ordered a spare!
  11. At a party type thing this eve. A similar aged guy actually knew that the SC430 existed! And thought it was a great mid life crisis choice. He works for Ricardo.
  12. Nowt wrong with moss.
  13. Have one from a 2018 car that I am not using. Will swap that.
  14. After the wise advice I think I will chance it without a spare wheel. Roof up for journey down and back, but will have 30 days of open top driving when we arrive at our fixed destination. Boot and rear seats will be stuffed!
  15. I updated the one from my 2009 GS450h. Think 2014 was as modern as the discs can possibly be with the DVD system. The one thing that is really nice with the Lexus Nav is the lovely female voice when you are abroad telling you "You have crossed the border".
  16. 7 week trip to south of Spain. Inflator gunk already past sell by date! BUT, spare wheel takes up space. What would you do?
  17. Best thing to treat door window rubbers? Gummi Pflege? if they are rubber, seem quite hard.
  18. Got it booked into under treatment guy early Jan. I will be sure to post before and after pics. Hoping not too crusty.
  19. Nothing is fine. I don't think I have ever reversed into anything in 40 years.
  20. Yes Yes Yes, it is Christmas Day and I am asking a Lexus question. BUT my excuse is it IS my Christmas present. So. Reversing sensors seem to be on my bumper. How would the beep beep manifest itself? I understand they may have been fitted by dealers rather than stock. Do I have to activate them in some way? Or maybe they just don't work.
  21. So. Clean pass MOT end of November. Same last year. (Two different MOT locations) Two weeks later Lexus Canterbury red flagged two shock absorbers in Health Check during service. Who do I believe?
  22. Meisters. Would there be two types for Mk1 and Mk 2 car? Seems cost of coilovers is less than standard shocks and springs?
  23. Been reading owners manual. Does using tyre seal also destroy your tpms sender? A replacement spare is only a bit more than sealer. https://www.thewheelshop.co.uk/product-category/space-saver-wheels/lexus/lexus-sc430/
  24. Tyre seal date was red flagged by Lexus on mine last week. 2014. Lexus ignored this fact on previous services. £120 quote!!!!!!
  25. I have a padded bed head nailed to the wall
