Thanks. Then again, I have a major issue with a global organisation such as Lexus selectively having different warranty details for different markets. Particularly when it has changed conditions in this market to cover the hybrid inverter in cars sold after mine.

This relates to your third point - and even though I'm from Australia I hope it's relevant... We have a RX400h that's six years old and has 137,000km on the clock. Recently the hybrid system's inverter failed - luckily we were not moving at the time. I've been told that this part alone costs around $11,500 but in other markets (US and Canada for example) the complete hybid system (inverter and batteries) is covered by a 96-month, 100,000 miles warrantee. That warrantee was brought into Australia after we purchased our (then new) RX400h but our car falls under those conditions (age and mileage). Any suggestions please?
