My Lexus
Went to Anglesey on Sunday for a fun track day with the scoob but all went horribly wrong as I loaded the car onto the trailer and set off - 2 miles and the Lexus transmission went bang - very, very loud and stopped!
No transmission whatsoever - all lights ablaze with check hybrid, check traction, check this and that. Looks like the inverter at £3k - ouch! Anybody got an RX400 H that has had similar/same problem? Hoping Lexus say I can claim warranty on this 2007 vehicle |
Ouch, wouldn't say many people on here would have one of those matey.
Time to join the Lexus forum! |
Lexus forum - they aint a patch on the scooby forums....
Anyway, it was the inverter and cost a healthy £3600 but its back on the road now - lovely car but very expensive to run especially mpg - 14mpg towing the scooby! Also got a Lexus IS220d which is very nice so hope I dont have issues with that now. And they say Subaru's are expensive to run - not in my oipinion their not.... |
Thats bad luck, sorry to hear about the vast expense.
Well it must be a comfortable ride at least! Les |

I wouldnt bother getting an RX400h if you want good economy, thats for sure.
The most I have had from it is 38mpg and that was driving at 56 mph - so damn boring and tiring - that's me of course. Last night I went to Leeds from Barton on M62 all the way sat at 90 and it returned 24.6mpg It goes like stink with a 0-60 of 7.2 secs - ok not a scooby rocket I know but surprises so many motorists - yes I am a boy racer at heart - cant help myself :cuckoo: When I had my caravan it returned 12mpg :thumb: Average around town is 22-24mpg However, its spacious, very comfortable and quick I am hoping to get the RX450h next and that is by far more economical but a little bit slower and not as sturdy on the bends as the 400h - again in my opinion - all subjective I realise that. I also have an IS220d which is very comfortable and does pick up its heels when pushed. However, the gearbox is poor, mpg also poor unless you on a run and then I can achieve 42mpg :thumb: I had a 200d for the RX whilst in the garage and that is a lot nicer than its predecessor the 220d - 2litre instead of 2.2 and the gearbox is lovely. I love the GS450h but I need the 4x4 size for our 11 dogs, grand kids and the crap winter weather :lol1: |
