    I think highest spec gets wooden steering wheel, cooled seats and radar adaptive cruise. Sunroof was deleted for lower spec after 2010 I think.

    Price is on the high side if it were for sale in the UK. I paid £5600 for my 2009 privately a year ago. Would expect to pay £6000 ish for those miles, maybe a little more if service history is good. If serviced annually at a Lexus garage the battery pack will be guaranteed until it is 15 years old.

    So there is no reason why the Lexus one is three times the price?

    I have managed to temporarily clear warning lights by doing initialisation. Warning light comes back on after 20 miles/ minutes driving. I would have thought you would get same result. As for external code readers at tyre fitting places. Many different readers needed to cover all TPMS systems, lucky if a garage has one that can read yours.

    Latest version of Techstream will not allow TPMS programming. You have to revert to earlier version. Not sure of which ones but this is what I found. Definitely locate the under glove box switch for winter tyres first. That will be the simple solution.

    I thought if you had a set of winter tyres programmed to system then Techstream would show 8 ID codes registered in memory.

    Not a fail on a pre 2012 car My light was not even noted on the MOT sheet

    Unless you are a bit OCD then I would ignore the tpms light and buy an aftermarket monitoring system for about £30.

    Not sure about the Wikipedia info here, with regards your car. "The GS 450h retains its position as the most expensive in the GS lineup, and has faster acceleration than the GS 460, though the GS 460 is lighter and has a higher top speed."

    I would have thought best mod would be in the exhaust department if it has still got original (rusting) setup. Would enhance the growl. Grove Garage in Brighton would provide a sound track solution. Jealous of your boot space though.

    Low mpg at big motorway speed will have nothing to do with traction battery I would have thought, as it will barely be used. I got 28mpg with a roof box on a 500 mile motorway journey at those speeds.

    Only applies to cars less than 10 years old as far as I can see.

    Add automatic gearbox into the equation. Turned off my traction control, put it into sport mode, floored it on a (safe) wet corner and still did not lose traction. Don't think I am missing any ponies either. Maybe my idea of flooring it is too subtle. If I wanted to crash I could simply drive into a ditch.

    Was born in Darwen. The words "Darwen" and "Lexus" in the same sentence strike me as massively incongruous.

    On reflection was probably an accurate price. I paid £5600 one year ago for same age car. At the time there was £1000 difference for every year older the car was. So mine will now be actually worth less than £5000 to the casual buyer.
  16. Mossypossy
    £4700 was a bargain price really.

    GS450h for sale on eBay. Will be interesting to see how much people are actually wanting to pay rather than fixed price sale. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-GS450-HYBRID-IN-IMMACULATE-CONDITION-/174572546391?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292

    Big nail in tyre this morning. Popped along to the one remaining open Kwikfit for a repair (all others in area shut due to Covid). They repaired it there and then and manager refused to charge me. "Just give the lad a drink". Tenner well spent. Happy TwixMas to them. (He did remember me from a few weeks ago when I bought tyres). Who'd a thunk it?

    Think if you have a HDD then you are stuffed with the DIY route. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2017-18-TOYOTA-LEXUS-SAT-NAV-DISC-NAVIGATION-MAP-UPDATE-DVD-UK-WEST-EUROPE/293611150866?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

    Easy update today. Latest navigation DVD to update maps by a decade to 2017. Only £12 from eBay. Anyone need a free 2007 maps dvd?

    If you want to modify a car then start off with a turbo powered car. Easy gains to be had. I upped my Saab 9000 from 225hp stock to around 300. Could have gone above 400. If you want Japanese madness get a Supra.

    Still not managed to sort TPMS light for little money. Not prepared to spend more than £20 on that particular fix.
  25. Mossypossy
    Amazed that I actually managed to code it myself!
