Roy 400h

Howdy everyone, Recently bought 2007 400h from family friends, single owner, 154,000km and very well looked after. A Lexus just wasn't on my radar until I drove it. Previous car was a 90 Series petrol Toyota Prado = huge fuel consumption ! So far, apart from being a bit nervous about the cost of major repairs, I'm super impressed with the vehicle. I still have a perfectly intact Valet Pack too, which is something of a novelty! I'm going to spend some time reading forums about the car. Curious to know if there are service manuals available or even the list of Lexus dealer tricks the manual talks of. Simple things like being able to turn off the lock/unlock beep would be nice. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and safe motoring to all ! Roy.

Hi Nick, My 2007 400h records around 9.3 - 10.5 l/100km. the lower consumption is highway/touring. I try to be careful with wide throttle as it can greatly reduce the efficiency. ODO reading on my car is 155K with original hybrid battery.

Hi Nick, in short you cant connect your phone and get full functionality if its anything like the Mark Levinson system I have in my 2007 400h, there isn't even an auxilliary input. I got around this by getting an FM modulator from Jaycar, i can at least stream my spotify/sound cloud music that way. Some of the modulators even allow phone calls but its not been very consistent for me. Sound quality is ok but there can be some interference noise in the FM band, I think it depends on which frequency you choose to use. The Mark Levinson hifi is superb though, Im enjoying my CD collection all over again ! Hope that helps. Roy.
