Yes, that will be fine. It will not hurt the car at all.

Almost as good, a packet of humbugs & a bottle of water left in the car.😀

I had my IS300h serviced on Friday at T/Wells Lexus. Absolutely excellent service from them from the moment I dropped it off to the moment I collected it. They sat me down & explained everything in detail that had been done on the 40,000mile/4 years service although it had only done just over 11,000 miles. Other service centres I have been to just wanted me out of the way ASAP & I always had to take the service book back into them for it to be stamped, not here though it was all done. (As it should be). Coffee & biscuits were free flowing & everyone there was happy & chatty, very pleasant. I will definitely be going back there for my next service.

I have owned a 2020 model for the last 3 1/2 years & only covered 11,000 miles. It is a great car & I love all the safety & driving aids. I could have bought older, but wanted the newest I could get, 3 months old with 6 miles on the clock. Depreciation is not really an issue for me as I intend to keep it for a long time & I will obviously know the history of the car. They drive well, look good & I am pleased I bought mine.

Very interesting & also concerning!!!

I am not sure they give you the report, it just has to pass the 150 point check to be Lexus approved. I think Lexus are like most main dealers, if they can get away with something they probably will.

Mine is a 2020 model & I have a service book that is stamped every service & also recorded online. So I would challenge them about this & if they don't have it ask them for a duplicate service book.

I understand what you are saying Philip & of course I am concerned what will actually happen in the future. I think the state pension maybe slightly different because quite a number of people have actually paid extra in to make their pension up, I feel that would be hard to take away without a number of court case actions. The WFP has not actually been earnt as such & was gift from the government.

I still stand by my original post that there are a lot of pensioner that do not need the winter fuel payment, but agree that there are probably more that do. There should be a reasonable cut off level where you don't get help & that is what the government should put in place, not base it on pension credits etc. Set a limit of £25k say & no one with an income of more than that gets it. That is just a random figure plucked out of the air to make a point.

As Colin has already mentioned, I would check the prop shaft as I had this on an old rear wheel drive Escort.

I would go back & ask for a free service as compensation for not being told the whole truth.

The quite rich pensioners I know just accepted it as a free gift, this is where I think it was wrong & I told them, but it was just brushed away with if the government is too stupid to limit it more fool them!!! As I said, it should have a higher limit to help those that still need it & be taken away from those that don't.

I totally agree, it has gone too much the other way now. The govenment have jumped in with both feet rather than thinking about it properly & coming up with a decent plan that only those that need it get it.

Now I am really sorry about this & I am sure I will get shouted down, but I personally know of 4 people who receive the winter fuel payment & all 4 are on pensions of between £60-£100k a year. Is this right? Personally I don't think so, but I am probably in the minority. I took early retirement at 60, 3 years ago as I had been working since the age of 15 & saved as when I could into a pension fund, but I never expected to get the winter fuel payment when I got to 67 whoever was in government. I think it should be means tested, but I feel the limit should be set a bit higher than what it is at the moment as some people who get just over the limit still need help.
