    Stock springs. Rubber was touching the bodywork under load....Muppet had not factored rolling circumference and had 285's on rear. Remember skinny tyres will cost £250 a corner for decent brands if you go 20. Gone back to standard now.

    Had 20 inch staggered rims on my GS450h. They were indeed horrid on our roads. Looked as cool as **** though.

    Discussed this today. Someone reckoned the GS Mark 3 was the ugliest boring car Lexus ever made. To my eye it is the prettiest. They did however state that my 11 year old car is less rusty than any five year old Nissan GTR.

    Pig ugly. Or is it just me?

    One for the South East. Near Haywards Heath. Lovely location in the woods. SRD Tuning https://www.srdtuning.com Lee, the owner, drives an LS as his comfy car. They specialise in performance tuning Supras and certain Lexii. Fitted my radiator for me today. I know James the mechanic from when we had tuned Saabs.

    Lot of luck. Helps if you are a boomer as well. My son is waaaaaay more intelligent than me, Oxford then Imperial, has a good first job but doubt he can retire at 55 like we did. I retired from a low paid wine trade job at age 30, to raise kids, wife was a schoolteacher. Property prices helped us enormously. Bought at age 25, mortgage free at 42. Always very prudent with money though. (Don't waste your money on private education for your kids!) No need.

    Get a motorhome and hit Europe. We had three months in Scandinavia last year. Can't wait to do it again.

    Any idea how many hours to swap a radiator?
  9. Mossypossy
    You are supposed to say you were driving on a private road. 155 is the only allowed limit.

    Replaced y section of rear exhaust with stainless. When rear silencers eventually go they can be replaced easily. Not had a chance to look under at work yet. Cost was £160. He also has a technique to remove blockage of Aircon that causes wet carpets (common issue) using air (on the gs450h). Efficient and friendly service but establishment is the polar opposite of a Lexus dealership. Grove Garage in Brighton.

    Two bands on green battery charge full level? Only ever see first myself. Just had Lexus health check passed with flying colours. 1 mile max on electric only here. Your battery is fine!

    Mine went from purple to green in about 3 miles on the flat the other day. Some days it only hits green when going down long descents. The algorithm is inscrutable.

    Found this yesterday. Gold on black. What sort of age?

    In a three minute chat over the phone I was sold. Hopefully have found a go to Indy. The mere fact he drives my exact car as his personal weapon of choice was a clincher! Will report back after the visit at the end of the month.

    Grove Garage in Brighton. Guy there runs a GS450h himself and is about to use his own car as a guinea pig to repair the hybrid battery. Booked mine in for exhaust work, as he does stainless as well.

    Getting a genuine Lexus one for £250. Seems a decent price. Labour will be on top. From a Toyota specialist indy, mainly does super fast Supras.

    And the wife likes driving it. How can you not? Hopefully driving it to Switzerland in September.

    Took for 100k service today at main dealer to see if I had bought a turkey. All was good except a weeping radiator and a tiny hole in the rear exhaust section. I thought every main dealer would try to get you to replace shock absorbers. Hybrid health excellent as well. Phew!
  19. Mossypossy
    Had my service today. They cleaned the outside and said would sanitize the inside....this is not so easy to see.
  20. Mossypossy
    Which brand to choose for replacement? Would OEM be Lexus own or a bought in one? Been quoted £600 for replacement at a main dealer.
  21. Mossypossy
    I have a four hour walk planned!
  22. Mossypossy
    Our little iQ cost £640 for a service from Toyota.

    Turns out the Lexus dealership (Inchcape) are £100 million in hock to the chancellor. My service bill will be a patriotic act to get the economy moving.
  24. Mossypossy
    Called them Thursday morning. Was surprised to be offered any time from Tuesday onwards. Damn. Will have to wash it myself.
  25. Mossypossy
    Courtesy car not available for another month. Booked in for next week without one. Do they always wash the car?
