The State Pension as defined in law is a benefit not an entitlement, therefore can be changed /withdrawn at any time. The fact that you paid in to increase your income is neither here nor there. But I equally agree like the WASPI women should go on for a while. 👍

Steve, this will come back to haunt you😱. Removing the WFA has nothing to do with saving money. When the real savings are netted out it will be derisory. It is far more sinister, it is purely a test of the countries reaction and resolve to the idea of means testing any "benefit" of which the State Pension is one. This is already in play with child benefit and accepted. Imagine a similar scenario whereby your total pension income exceeds X, say 25k then your state pension element reduces by £1 for every Y amount over that. No doubt the Marxist mindset of some on here will see this as being totally consistent with removing WFA? Along with the madness of Intergenerational unfairness as a legitimate argument !!! It is also clear these measures are designed to appeal to the "yoof" (votes at 16) by robbing the old and giving it to the "yoof" thereby saying we are the good guys vote for us.

You sound like Kamala Harris 🙂

Thank you Al, but just take a minute to look at the underlying numbers. As of 2021 and paid for by UK taxpayers - the average staff salary is 64k,twice the UK average with the highest being 7 figures. If you are in receipt of the highest allowance, £75 per week you can get a brand new Jeep SUV inc maintenance, breakdown, tyres and insurance at no cost to you but not so for the average taxpayer who can only dream of such an arrangement. The scheme makes £520 million in profit yet pays no tax, what other business that turns over £4bn can say that? Lots more interesting numbers and information in their annual accounts. 👍

Malc motability scheme with few exceptions only applies to under 65's

In place of /in addition too why I we funding the Mobility scheme that costs Billions? A scheme that allows for a Lexus or Range Rover? 🤔

You should read Intellectuals and Society by Thomas Sowell to get the real insight into how we got to where we are now. 🙁

You have "seen" them taking away eye tests? Best get in specsavers quick 😅

Don't despair! Call or drop into see the After Sales Manager, they determine free collection not EMAC. Ask the manager about an extended Plus Warranty if you want peace of mind and Service packages, they will be happy to take your money off you. Alternatively buy a HHC for about £50 every year up to 15 years old to warrant the battery.

That's a definite option my friend if you're fortunate enough to be in a position to wait it out

Ah, Malc, how freely and and willing you are to spend other people's money, 35%, 35%🤯. What a precedent that will set! And it's not just lexus owners, it's all car owners, house owners, savings and pension owners. When the latter is liquified to fund extravagant ideology welcome to another variant of PPI.

But this affected loads of Toyota models hence the huge financial hit. I wonder how much we're actually told? For example United Health Care own PKB being promoted via the NHS. In February in the USA they reported a data breach possibly affecting up to a third of all Americans! But no mention of the UK?

This hasn't received much attention other than a 15B hit to Toyota value From Fortune magazine "Through an internal investigation prompted by a regulator mandate, Toyota found it had not performed safety tests as certification required in five cases related to vehicles including the Crown, Corolla, and the Yaris Cross. In one case involving the Lexus RX, the company had submitted falsified data to meet safety standards and submitted it for certification."

Good morning 😊 Can anyone reccomend a decent key case? I use one but it's rather bulky. In winter not a problem as you tend to have lots of pockets but come the summer that's different. Needs : 1 x Lexus key, 2 x house keys. Thanks

0000 no coarser 🙂

Great tip, lexus parts direct are also competitive

As always depends on ones attitude towards risk. I pay £54 pm for an extended warranty plus cover which I believe to be an affordable "insurance like" cover. March 2025 will tell me how good my bet was. The major service is a big pill to swallow but Iridium plugs won't need another change for years so £1300 ish will give you cover for say two years unless something untowards happens in year two. Irrespective the HHC is a must have.

Extended Warranty Plus is still available to you. And the £59 hybrid check covers your battery for one year.

Sack the salesman I say 👏, what a waste of everyone's time and money! Yet another example of demonstrating misguided language claiming you are an entity referred to as a "customer" when in fact you are an impediment to their goals or a problem in other words!

This is the highest level of taxation in 70 years are you proposing to increase it even more to fund public sector demands? 🙁

Take a look at Terraclean, I had my XKR done a few years ago and it definitely lowered my emissions for the MOT.

Yes Brian, when I bought the car from Lexus Newcastle driving it back there was a noise from the rear bit like old bed springs! Derby identified it as delamination of bushes in the rear trailing arm assembly a very expensive fix that Newcastle should have covered under dealer warranty. After some backwards and forwards between Derby and Newcastle someone covered the cost not sure who but it was not me 😎

Quite correct Phil, had I needed a full service I would not have bothered but intermediate is acceptable. I have paid for a HHC last week which means that I have one in hand for 25/26. As this will be the 15th year I don't think Extended plus will be available so my decisions will be made for me.

Totally agree with you Brian, alongside the sensational Relax iniative it's time Lexus /Toyota introduced a service interval more attuned to today's ideals of, sustainability, waste reduction, reduced cost of consumption etc etc
