Many thanks but I now have a 400h all the best John

Just a bit they all seem to be in London. After I got mine I saw one identical to mine in Sheffield for £3500 FSH and owned by same family since it was it was 3 years old. All the best John

Hear is another one from you tube using a hair dryer :- You can always find a number of solutions to problems on you tube I use it all the time all the best John

I found this last week on youtube which will help you :-

Hi managed to find it locally in Bristol in a response to a wanted advert, Milage is just over 154000 and it is the limited edition executive with protection pack so mud flaps boot liner rubber pumper protector etc. And I paid over to odds for it but I have been looking for 5 years and they just keep going up in price so I paid £4600 delivered to my door by the private seller he did want £5200 so I got a bit knocked off. As it needed a new 12v battery and front number plate which I have now replaced I got a set of plates from eBay DVLA spec dealer type with border for only £10.97 delivered. Cheers John

Finally got one a 2009 RX400h Ltd Edtn Exec in metallic blue and cream leather.

I am still in the market for one if any one is selling. Cheers John

Cheers Tref I am in agreement with you there I have avoided coastal and cars from Scotland and Mileage does not bother me I would rather own a high mileage car that has been used mostly on the motorway with full service history over a low mileage one with or without service history. As they tend to be used the short trips to the shops and back that kill an engine sooner My farther in-laws 2001 VW golf only had 36k on the clock and fully serviced every year with the mot and he owned it from new. But It sounded like a diesel engine when it was sold as it was worn out much quicker. All the best John

Cheers Tref Now if the engine on the one I was looking at sounded sweet like yours I would have gone and taken a look and would have probably taken it home. Many thanks for the video. All the best John

Hi there was little service history and there was a lot of indication that it was not looked after on the MOT history and in the videos odd scrape and damage to dash and inside door handle and lacquer peeling away and usual stone chips on the front. I would have done the work to get it looking better and sorted out the discs and new tyres etc but it also looked like the cambelt / water pump hand not been replaced and the engine sounded like it was low on oil. It has had 2 advisory's for oil leak in the past. Cheers John

Cheers I checked the MOT history and another warning flag was that it had only done 90 miles in the last year and advisory for "Brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened all discs corroded " And from the rest of the videos it looks like it has been stood outside for a long time outdoors and loads of advisory's and the odd failures for the last 10 years. All the best John

Hi I have been looking to buy a RX400H since 2018 and have the funds saved up but there is not much choice out there or to far for me to travel. I have just enquired about one and the seller was faultless and sent be some video's of the car but there was some paint issues and damage to the dash etc which put me off as well as the engine sounded like a diesel to me or do they all sound like this one in the video I have attached. Answers would be greatly received and videos of your own would be a bonus so I have something to compare it too. All the best John video-1653937517.mp4

I was just looking at one for sale for £3200 and they sent me some videos of the car but there were to many things that I did not like and the engine also did not sound to good or do they all sound like a diesel lol My Zafira engine is 60% quieter and it is a 2001 with 150k on the clock lol video-1653937517.mp4

Yes they have gone up and almost doubled in price. When I started looking in 2018 they were going from around £2000 now they start from around £4000.
