    The seller also has a Cobra replica listed at a significantly higher price, so obviously a serious petrol-head which is a good sign I think.

    Yes loads of us, just contact Lexus Customer Relations and they should sort it. cr@lexus.co.uk

    My advice is shop around and be prepared to travel for the right car if need be, it's not a particularly rare car but check the spec carefully as it's pretty complex across the various models and options packs.

    There will be a ring and sensor on each wheel, not sure if there is any difference in failure rate / lifetime between front / rear.

    I have never worked on this model myself but really depends on your level of experience. An oil and filter change plus air filter should be very straightforward, brake fluid change can be more complex as well as the plugs as you state. One option would be to do the interim service yourself and dealer / independent for a major service.

    Whilst I have the RX and have had the protection plates fitted, it's shocking that Lexus leave other models completely vulnerable. Also I am not convinced the protection plates will actually solve the problem permanently.
  7. Spock66
    Unfortunately not.

    I believe it's best practice with a dual mass flywheel to have it replaced, you could try getting some quotes from here. https://bookmygarage.com/blog/clutch-replacement/#toc-heading-3

    Personally speaking if it's not an MOT advisory I would not worry about it, yes there will be some wear but clearly not excessive or else it would be an MOT issue.

    Get an assistant to check if the brake lights come on when you have this problem.
  11. Spock66
    Nothing because they have all been replaced by cameras.
  12. Spock66
    Yes but that could well destroy the Catalytic convertor.

    Just trying to imagine a group of leather clad Hell's Angels "roaring" down the road on glorified electric scooters.

    Are motorcycles going to be exempt from the ICE ban?

    I remember my dad having an old paraffin heater that would be used in the winter months, something like this. https://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/engineheater.htm

    That seems low.... Hot or cold as pressure will drop as hot oil has lower viscosity.

    I've had MOT's where they have taken the trip counter reading rather than the odometer so not that unusual, you have to raise it at the time of the MOT to get it corrected.

    I believe lights are excluded, but no harm in asking your dealer there may be some flexibility.

    I have neither a Barbour jacket or cream leather seats, but I do think you are likely to get some transfer of the wax which may make the seats slippery even if there is no mark. You could always buy an old Landrover and a pair of green wellies 😉

    No idea how long but personally I would wait for the genuine item, car looks perfectly usable as is. I must have had 5/6 new windscreens plus several repairs in the last 25-years so you have been pretty lucky.
  23. Spock66
    Another option may be refurbishment (no personal experience of this). http://www.westmerciaradiators.co.uk/catalytic_converters.html
  24. Spock66
    I'd say yes if driving at low speed only but not on a motorway or dual carriageway, after all many cars just have four studs.
  25. Spock66
    Similar story for my RX, I think some of the speakers are dual cone which they count as two, so a bit of marketing BS.
