Shouldn't this be under the motorheads banner?

I sheared a nut that holds the stabilier bar in place.

Still, the battery seemed to take the overnight charge well and we are up and running. Now to go shopping...great.
Why do they corrode like that?  cussing:

Because you don't do what sensible people do.
Are you saying I'm not sensible...?  rubschin:

I am now rubbing down aforementioned battery bar thing ready for a good coat of anti-rust painty stuff...  whistle:

Because you don't do what sensible people do. If you live anywhere close to the sea, salt corrosion will occur. Cover all terminals, nuts, bolts etc associated with the battery with vaseline and I mean smother it on and repeat every time the vehicle is serviced.  whistle:

As for TMR I would have the battery checked. It should not go flat through none use in three weeks. Mine has never gone flat despite being left in the garage for up to three months without use. Are you sure you didn't leave an interior light on or something? If you are sure then GET THE BATTERY CHECKED. Chances are you need a new one and winter is no time to find that out.

The battery in the old Lexus is heeeooooge.  It's done this before - the alarm takes a dribble out of it and when left for an elongated period of time, it takes its toll. In addition, I have only been doing really short journeys recently, so that hasn't helped. Shame these cars don't have a kickstarter, like my trusty Triumph, which started first kick  angel1

Too late!

Starting handle for internal combustion engines

Document Type and Number:United States Patent 4766856 

Abstract:A starting handle for internal combustion engines. A hand crank and a starting shaft are connected to an appropriate element of the engine to be started. A driving mechanism is provided between the hand crank and the starting shaft, so that when the hand crank is turned in the starting direction, the hand crank drives the starting shaft and thereby the engine element. The driving mechanism is released in the event of kickback of the starting shaft and movement thereof in the direction opposite to the direction of starting. A weighted element is provided independent of the engine and is mounted coaxially with respect to the starting shaft. The weighted element is held by gravity in a vertical position and, in the event of kickback, is restrained from movement from the vertical to cause the driving mechanism between the hand crank and the starting shaft to be released.
