    Linas: what colour is this?
  2. Mincey
    The opinion of someone who has actual experience of each vehicle matters here.

    It's because it doesn't have an Audi/BMW/Mercedes badge. Was it Clarkson who said that if you put one of those badges on a plate of sick, they would fly out of the shop?

    Can confirm this. Betsy didn't want to know about the DVD I inserted.
  5. Mincey
    I'll dig out a DVD and give it a go.

    I'm currently on-site at a client's. It's stuffy in here so I have the window open. A bloke is "working" about 100m away with some kind of petrol powered device, constantly revving it. I am having to fight the temptation to go out there and shove it up his Aristotle.

    Make sure that the parking brake is on perhaps? My IS's wouldn't do anything with DVDs or image files unless it was engaged. I haven't tried a DVD in Betsy yet.

    I was weak. They did promise to take very good care of her though.

    I took Betsy in for her 3 year service at Lexus Leicester yesterday. I was greeted by my name and not "good morning Sir" which I found astounding. It has been 10 months since I was there last. If it was a BMW, Mercedes or Audi, I wouldn't be surprised to be on first name terms with the staff what with having to take the car back every five minutes for repairs. No upselling, coffee and biscuits on offer, Betsy cleaned inside and out, no issues whatsoever. Happy customer.

    Absolutely right! People are rarely allowed into the back of Betsy but a few weekends ago I had no choice but to let my 9 year old granddaughter in. The back of the passenger seat is covered in muddy footprints. She will travel in her grandmother's car next time.

    I had the Lexus rubber mats in my 3IS. I really didn't like them (too squeaky) and was glad to return to Betsy's carpet mats. Horses for courses I guess!
  12. Mincey
    This does sound more encouraging.
  13. Mincey
    Absolutely this. I wasn't able to get into a Toyota iQ once. The AA man used a huge pair of pliers and all his strength and the door unlocked. Give it some welly.

    Update! Five minutes ago I got an email saying that ES windscreens were out of stock and they'd be in touch when one was available. Two minutes ago another email arrived saying that they are ready for me at 11 tomorrow morning. I am currently confused.

    Holy thread resurrection Batman! I've finally capitulated and decided to get Betsy's windscreen replaced. I'm with LV so it's straight to Autoglass. The booking process was easy, all online. However I just missed a call from them and from the very quiet message I understand that the job can't be done on my driveway due to all the lane detection malarkey she has. I can't get through to talk to them as there's no "3. Talk to us" option so I'm now waiting for a reply from the text facility they SMS'd me a link to...

    I leave my AAWireless dongle plugged in all the time and that doesn't cause any problems either. Always goes off with the ignition.

    The only place I didn't think to look (apart from the manual....) - many thanks Colin, you are a star!

    Is there a way to suppress the "oil maintenance required soon" prompt on start up? Betsy is due for a service on August 1st and her "Service Required In" distance is down to 283 miles. Yes, it's a First World Problem but I'm getting fed up of having to press the Enter button each time we go out together. In my Gen 2 IS250 I'm sure there was a way to turn the nag off. Surely Lexus can build something in so that once a service is booked it beams an "and relax...." back to the car?

    Holy S***!! Thank goodness it's a warranty item.

    My Samsung S22 has a habit of misbehaving after being on Android Auto for a while. I drove to Wales on Monday and in the evening I wasn't able to make any calls - "Emergency Calls only". I put this down to being in a sh*thole in the middle of nowhere, but as the situation persisted when I returned to civilisation, I thought I'd try a restart. It was fine afterwards. As it did a similar thing after another trip some months ago, but that time I couldn't get it to use mobile data, I think there's something sinister going on.

    Sorry to hear about this Mr Vlad but as everyone else has said, the most important thing is you're ok.

    Bosch appear to be quite keen on the hydrogen idea too: https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/13/bosch_goes_allin_on_hydrogen/

    I'm working close to Duxford today and those magnificent men are up in the skies in their flying machines. My moan is that I'd rather be outside watching them than stuck in an office interrogating IT systems. You really can't beat the sound of multiple Merlins.

    It's good to see that comedy is alive and well in this forum.
  25. Mincey
    I'm appalled. It's a widely known fact that the only Lexus which should be used as a taxi is the ES.
