as a former audi a4 owner that cost me thousands in repairs ££££ reliability is a must now lol

new or used? i only do new tires. i refer to online shops like black circle and others for four ps4 tires.

Im on my 5th car now. my 1st a 1.6 1988 ford escort mk4 gia all black (had faulty fuel gauge lol) serviced myself, 2nd 1997 black 1.6 mk6 ford escort si full mondeo 24 body kit, 3.5 inch pipercross exhaust sounded like a beast serviced myself. 3rd 1.8turbo black 1999 golf gti mk4 dump valve and tints added (was a police magnet 😥) serviced myself. 4th 2007 2.0tfsi black mk7 audi a4 quattro special edition 2.0tfsi was the 1st car I owned full audi dealer service history and I added a further 5 audi dealership stamps to it so was pleased when I sold it had a 13 year full audi dealership history mainly i wanted to keep the car tip top condition of all the cars I owned it was the most expensive major engine failure, suspension needed replacement, sensor failures to many to list ( I was not alone re online forums 😭) cost me thousands in repair/wear n tear costs as I always insisted the car have OEM or close enough. Moving on re my Lexus last two services been done by private garages and I suspect they probably cut corners and the car did not get alot of love other then to be driven hard previous owner seemed that type lol (I was sold car with no receipts for anything). This Saturday Lexus main dealership I signed up to a three year service plan total £1030 I get half price mot and two major services and one minor at £40 per month with a small deposit. so essentially I get a free service out of it if I paid individually. If I have any major things need doing on it I will probably take it to a Lexus specialist instead. Who knows my mpg etc mite improve with official lexus spark plugs etc lol?

At the moment my car has four davanti dx640 tires previous owner put on as a cheapo option I dont know the cost of them. I cant complain about them yet as ive only pushed the car in straight lines. so not sure their full performance envelope to be honest but id have more confidence with a known brand to push the car.

Im thinking to get all round RAINSPORT 5'S I had rainsport 3's years ago and they was good only let down was the soft side walls making car feel boat like but Ive read they've improved for 5's plus for four new 5's around £700 price point which is reasonable money and within my budget especially when you get punctures and have to replace them. Id love to get the ps4 tires but for four looking at a crazy expensive £900. Is the any quality alternatives to the rainsport 5's? for about same money?

yeah sure can chat about any subject at any time 🙂 so do you need to change any of them now? don't know if i mentioned more normal pattern with my previous cars was change rears every four years and fronts every two years im hoping same with this car.

lol

Also there is some new tech on the horizon called SOLID STATE batteries which tesla and also I think Toyota looking at.

Agreed I love the Japs logic with simplicity vs German (new) over engineering that fails on the 3-4th+ owners. also I have watched a ton of videos on the new Porsha tuycan and vw 4 something where they either cannot charge or charge their cars very slowly pains, Toyota ceo is right to say the world is not ready for all electric yet.

Question does my car have a limited slip diff or some kind of equivalent system that's just as good? is it on all the wheels or just some?

On my previous car Audi first thing I did was purchase the largest most powerful battery money could buy and it was a five year battery around £180 I think from Halfords. due to knowing how loud I play my music and the battery drain lol as a result the battery lasted only four years and Halfords had to change for free so the next owner will get another five years battery use lol with this car I have now it is troubling me how to deal with this again as I have no history of when the current battery was last changed but what I mite do is ask Lexus service centre to test the battery life to see how much I have left. Lexus have quoted me £235 I think for a new boot battery bit of a headache spending that money but again ill want the most powerful five year battery I can get in the UK.

Wellllllll I blaze my cars Mark Levinson 15 speaker 835 watts system like I’m in a nightclub best system I’ve ever had it’s so powerful it’s shocking on my prev audi 220 watts I had all the setting up when I tried the same thing in the Lexus almost blew my ears out so now only have bass one above normal all I can take 🤣

I felt a little better today my car is a heavy beast at 1800kg I was reading the latest bmw competition is 1900+ weight and the latest Audi A7 sport back weighs 2000+. Both v8 equivalents power as is mines. 😎

Cool I’m bringing it back to the garage next week 😎

my 450h does it while in park when I press the break i assumed this was normal?

Correct recently last two weeks ive been averaging 32mpg. I am lead to believe in summer time it may improve due to hybrid batteries operating better in warmer summer climate, and yes as he said battery there to assist rather then take over.

Hi yeah it does blink three times but i shall try again with holding it down for longer.

I found the tire reset button pressed it the light cleared for a minute or two then came back on again.

Also found this site this was a bit scary reading this “However, if you get the tires or wheels replaced, then new tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must also be installed.” https://www.iralexus.com/lexus-tire-pressure-sensor-reset-danvers-ma/

I found this video Of a different Lexus but someone else put a conflicting statement in the comments lol?

I’ll try the over taking thing one day to test then. 👊🏾

I’ll have a look this will feel like a game of hide and seek I’ve no idea what it will look like lol

Came back home 8 hours later with temp change and light still on dash I’ll be back in the car again tomorrow will have another look.

Bad news for me this morning after having 1xlegit Lexus tire sensors fitted and coded recently. After receiving the car back I pumped all the tires to the recommendation of 36psi rear and 35psi fronts, everything was fine since getting it back. Today 01/03/21 Re pictures attached the tire pressure light has reappeared again on the dashboard. All the tires look fine and not low or punctured. I’ll contact the garage and see when I can bring it back in again very frustrating.

But the car does beep when exiting to tell you a window is still open.
