Yes, but tried just now and still same error 200, anyone out there with any clues?

👍👍

Oh and your image isn't showing 🤔

Yes Pete, pic took on my phone, 2.9mb accessible on Samsung tablet via Google photos?

I think Paul that at a stroke you have uncovered the biggest single lexus weakness - that of unrealisable unachievable expectations. By being vastly superior in so many ways you are lulled along into a la-la land where everything at any time and in any place should be superior and it's not which only magnifies ones sense of disappointment. Bit like the realisation that the Royal family use a lavatory just like the rest of us! Those are "lack thoughts" I.e. thinking of things you don't have but happiness doesn't come from getting what you want but from wanting what you have and remembering why you wanted it in the first place. 😎

Interesting post Alan, only yesterday I was watching YouTube chap, Chris fix, advocating a meguiars dash cleaner that was neutral for that very reason. Perhaps others may know more?

Hi Herbs, tried again same error code - anyone out there with any ideas?

Hi Steve, well I find when reversing between two hedges onto my drive it's an absolute godsend, its good clarity and the guide lines I think would be a huge advantage to you as well as the mega door mirrors. Side pillars are a bit big and rear quarter visibility limited.

But, tried to upload picture but got error 200? It is an outside phone pic 2.9mb can anyone advise please?

Very timely Keith, as you can see here Steve from the west country wants to know more about ride quality.

Morning Steve, I can only comment on my 2012 model so bear that in mind as I believe relatively new models have redesigned suspension making the ride less jangly. But I too live in a relatively rural area where surfaces aren't brilliant and it's a heavy car so you do feel potholes etc much more than say my XKR. Is it acceptable? For me yes it is as I do low mileage and when not on a rough road it's just great. But to get a better idea YouTube High Peak Autos and his review of a 2014 450h and then get your local lexus dealer to let you borrow one to try out I am sure if you talk to them nicely and say you want to write a review for the LOC on the rx450h in a rural environment they will accommodate. Let me know how you get on 👍

The unmitigated stress of first world problems 😂

A couple of other points I should have mentioned are firstly, because it's so quiet you can easily neurotic about each little squeak and noise, if you are so minded do not under any circumstances put a dog crate in the back if you do turn up the radio volume 😀. Secondly, again related to the lack of noise, cruise control is crucial in keeping your licence endorsement free (or freer). Some kind person on here recommended Radarbot which I have and find its auto connect feature really useful. Oh, and I should have pointed out Bill and Ben the flower pot men were marionettes in an early childhood TV programme and not a reference to the old bill or big Ben. 😉

Oddly enough I can vividly recall a time when I thought exactly the same thing but time, aspirations and luck have a habit of working in your favour 🍀

Derby, Ashley Ambrose is the After Sales manager, very knowledgeable and accommodating individual. SE-I,

I thought I might share with you my first 90 day experience of owning a RX450H which may resonate with other people or not as the case may be, and in no particular order; Despite it having the footprint as my XKR this is a big unit and without the rear camera I would need a HGV licence to reverse and still haven't braved parallel parking😊 The internal dimensions are huge which is great for my dog crate but is ruddy cold in winter thank goodness for heated seats and gloves 😁 Yet despite its bulk on the road it is surprisingly Inconspicuous and doesn't draw attention which has its advantages I think. On a flat surface the ride is supreme, effortless, very quiet just the hum of tyres at 70. And in the relentless traffic queues on motorways it is just fantastic noise is zero except for a/C fan. This means when getting out at the other end it doesn't feel like you have been run over more than the tarmac. On uneven surfaces however it does get you in training for a part in Bill and Ben. 🤭 My dealings to date with my local dealer have been just excellent and give you the confidence customer satisfaction is paramount. MPG is twice my Jag and VED nearly half! What's not to like? Albeit lacking DAB my phone works perfectly when listening to Talk Radio Finally, on a fine sunny day driving on that long M50 sweep towards Wales, listening to Classic FM playing the theme of The Big Country gives you goose pimples in the recognition of how incredibly lucky you are. (yes I know you would prefer it to be Yorkshire) 😎

So Paul this is interesting. If you are accepted for the Relax scheme by definition this means that the dealer agrees your car is technically fault free,happy days 😎. I am with nationwide and you need a Flexplus account @ £13 a month. This gives you breakdown / travel /mobile phone insurance and keeping 2.5k in the account gets you preferential interest which goes towards monthly fee. The travel insurance is a real win up to the age of 70.After that you can keep it with an additional premium depending upon existing conditions , for example I pay £100 a year, still a bargain.

I'd say yes, in the same way the dealers where responsible for ensuring a vehicle was fault free before allowing an extended warranty to be taken out. That's an interesting observation Colin, is there anything in writing to substantiate that premis? Be really grateful to know 😐

But earnings were £1 4s and thru pence a week 😁

"one of our bank accounts" Crikey we are in the exalted company of an Oligarch, tovarich 😎

Lots of horses on the road around me, could it be, no annual tax, no warranty/Service plans, fuel is vat and tax free, detailing and stuff not required, and the only envy they inspire is todger envy 😎

Wow😮

Excellent points

For me Phil the crucial exclusion is : Relax does not cover vehicles that are not technically fault free?? Well plenty of examples of new cars not being fault free so are they excluded? And just what exactly is the definition of being "technically fault free", to what level of granularity? Presumably the warranty company becomes the sole arbiter of an allowable claim and huge scope to say it was a pre existing condition. Just think on a moment as to how medical /travel/ house insurance companies wriggle like fish on a hook. I cannot believe for one moment sufficient legal due diligence was paid to this promotion and, as such, see plenty of challenges coming forward in the near future but who do you sue I wonder?
