    You do know that if you're coasting, i.e. no accelerator input at all, it's not the same thing ?

    Not sure if this is the best forum, but please feel free to move. I keep trying to join up to Gold Membership, taking advantage of the Black Friday discount but am receiving the error message attached. I've of course double checked my address and also tried a few alterations, but no joy. I've also replied to the email from Steve Barnes asking if I was having any trouble in completing my order (maybe this happens quite often) but no response yet. Anybody have any ideas?

    We have spent that weekly on our cat for the last three weeks, and had other bills of well over £800. We learnt our lesson a few years back when we had to spend £1500 within about 10days. It makes conversations with the vet a lot easier when expense is not such an issue. BTW......I don't recall if you have the TVD on your RCF, but last time I checked that was a £15k part.

    Most likely from the previous owner.

    You could always include the other F-cars, like GS-F and RC-F

    Do you know if the Sat Nav is the same in the LC500 as other Lexus cars? Was hoping they may have given it a make over.

    We have a winner !

    This is a key point. If no work was due on the gearbox, and your service sheet doesn't highlight that the gearbox oil levels or other were checked then I don't think Lexus have a leg to stand on. The second piece of information you need is whether the failure is a type that is typically covered under warranty and not due to some external event. This may be tricky if you now ask the garage which knows your claim has been rejected. You may need to recover your car to another garage and have an independent engineers report done and then mention small claims court to Lexus warranty dept.

    If you wired it direct to the battery then I hope you fitted a fuse, or hopefully the positive wire may already have a fuse on it.

    I've just bought Y8 RCF. I know another member had V8 RCF on his car, which he's now sold on, so will just have to squint a bit at mine

    Not true, there is an IS250 gen III car as well, but it was discontinued after a couple of years and replaced with the IS200t

    What a great thread, and good work !!! Are you going to add the piston oil squirters to the bottom of the bores? IIRC these are not fitted to NA blocks but are to the turbo blocks.

    Ahhhh yeah, the hunk of junk that is the My Lexus portal For some reason it seems to no longer recognise my password, and when you click on the link to 'Reset Password' it does nothing !!!! Why do they even bother? Anyway, I think there's nothing better than having a full compliment of handbooks to go with your car(don't tell the tree huggers!) which is why I was looking to potentially order up any others if I can be sure they are for the RCF and also their part number.

    When I bought my RCF I was a bit disappointed that I handed in a large folder of user guides for my IS300h and only received a folder with a single user guide for the RCF. I appreciate on new cars Lexus no longer give out full user manuals but as my RCF was not new I was expecting a bit more. I'm curious as to what guides people have for their RCF's, I believe there should be one for the Infotainment system as well. So to start off I have the Car User Guide - Part No: PZ471-U0005-EN Anybody else have any others?

    The cigarette lighter socket is inside the centre console, right next to the USB sockets !

    Even though my Supra is only BPU, around 400Bhp, It definitely feels like the quicker car when compared to my RCF. It's definitely lighter (1620kg vs. 1765kg) which maybe a factor.

    Same for me when I bought my map update as well. I know they can be updated separately, but seems the SD cards for the latest maps often include the firmware update as well.

    I bought my UK 6 Speed Supra in 2001 and still have it and can't see me ever parting with it. It's the first car I've ever had that is now starting to go up in value

    Not very keen on some of that, although generally I don't like Matt coloured cars. But what the hell were they thinking about with the seats? Blue trimmed front seats and plain black in the rear

    Wrong again Linas ! See the post just before yours, they have at least acknowledged the pictures and updated the OP.

    I'm curious, did you get any reply or a visit from the boys in blue?
  22. Martin F
    There is a solution to this, it's called 'Quality Control'. Unfortunately most companies only want to pay this lip service so they can put a check in the box, and sometimes even accept the suppliers quality records. Imagine if Kobe steel had been performing random chemical analysis a couple of times a year on lots received.

    Not good As an idea, it may be worth parking your other car behind the RCF. I know it can be a PITA if you want to move it off the drive, but for the thieves at least it means they have the added trouble of having to break into two cars.
  24. Martin F
    To eliminate all the estimation when comparing two cars on the same dyno it's better to take the actual wheel BHP.
  25. Martin F
    So as you've had your beauty for over a week now any further comparisons to your old RCF?
