i spent a lot of time looking into trackers, in the end i decided to spend my money on trying to stop the thieves taking the car in the first place,

I don't understand why there is a recall for the fuel pump, my 2015 RC-F was recalled for the same thing, i thought the RC-F and LC have the same engine.

i would rather put a Ghost Immobiliser on it to try and stop them taking it in the first place

looks very busy. https://www.clublexus.com/how-tos/slideshows/flashback-friday-lc-500-gets-rowen-body-kit-612810#restraint

lexus are a bit behind with there infotainment system, try pushing a 8 track in and see if it plays, i bet it does.lol

HI Howard, its a LC, i know I committed on the wrong thread but i have the same warranty dilemma

if they don't do the 2 for 1 ill put the £1500 away, cross my fingers, and create merry hell if anything goes wrong with it.

No issues that i know of, if i remember correctly the same thing happened with the RC-F, they didn't show the 2 for 1 until the car reached 3 years old, so ill keep my fingers crossed, the problem is it doesn't take much to even get to £1500, i had a sticking fuel cap which was a issue, it took them all day to dismantle the car to replace it under warranty, god knows how much that would have cost out of warranty.

I have contacted them, but they have not responded yet. i was hoping that because the first LC in the country is only just coming up to 3 years old that they may extend the 2 for 1 offer to the LC, I have also noticed that the offer does not apply to the LS either

3 years old in October, will have less than 6k miles on the clock, they want £1500 for a 1 year extended warranty, at the moment there is no 2 for 1 deal on the LC. what to do?

when my dash cam was fitted he removed the pannel by the passenger door and took power from there, the only thing he said was that he had to leave the cover of the fuse box because of the fuse connection he used, once the pannel was put back you can't see the fuse box and he left the cover in my glove box.

yes that was on certain cars, this issue has now been sorted, however NOTHING will stop the professional thieves, even a tracker, the car will probably be out of the country within 2 hours,

A tracker is good, but it means they can still take your can, fitting a ghost alarm ( £400 ) means they shouldn't be able to take it in the first place.

Agree with Flytvr, although i have never owned a ISF, only a RC-F, I think you may be also asking a impossible question to answer, in my option it will depend more on the hight of the person driving and the passenger in the back, i am 6'2, so to drive the RC-F comfortably i had the drivers seat nearly all the way back making it impossible for anyone to sit behind me. as for anyone sitting in the back of a RC-F it would be there hight which would cause a problem and not necessary there age, and even then it would be there torso hight and not there overall hight, the back of the RC-F slopes down very quickly so head hight is low.

you might find that they may call you in a couple of days, personally i find it a bit refreshing that you can test drive a car and not having them pestering you every 5 mins. they always call me the day after my car has got in for anything asking me if i was completely satisfied with the service i received. give Bradley a call at Sidcup i am sure he will assist you with anything your require.

Hi barris, I think that if you speak to most LC owners they will tell you that the infotainment system is not really that bad, its like most technology it take time to get used to it, most negative reviews are from car journalists who review the system perhaps only having the car for a day or even a few hours, i suppose it depends on how much you are going to use it, i change radio stations, and play music from a memory stick using the controls on the steering wheel, i leave my heating/cooling seats/ steering wheel on auto using the concierge system only adjusting the temperature if necessary, i have a split screen set up with heating controls on the right so if i do for some reason need to override the concierge system its just a matter of moving the pointer to the seat control and clicking the heat/cool icon, the same applies to the heated steering wheel, as for the sat nav i rarely use it, but when i have ,just putting in the post code has always got me to my destination.

Most of my journeys are 4/6 miles so this time of the year it doesn't even get warm, getting 17mpg, in the summer it goes up to 19mpg, on a 300 mile round trip, mostly motorway i got a impressive 34 mpg.

The RC-F fuel pump re call was 3 years ago, considering the RC-F and LC engine are the same i would have thought that what ever they did for the RC-F would have already been changed on the LC, unless they are going to re call the RC-F again

it will be interesting to see if we get a fuel pump re call, apparently they are in the US, got a fuel pump re call on my RC-F.

I know they have to take the wheel of and the inner wing panel, plus panelling in the boot.

I understand your concern about stripping the car apart and putting it back together, i had a alarm issue and because the car was a new model for Lexus technicians to work on it was even more worrying, they had the car for a total of 3 months trying to sort it out, stripping most of the car apart so much so i wrote a email to Lexus head office making them aware of my concerns. as i said i was lucky i had a good technician who is mofodical and very consciences about his work, also having a car that is very well put together in the first place helps.

well mine is fine , no rattles, i have had a few teasing problems with my car from new, it was one of the first 19 into the UK, i have had the same technician work on my car, i think he spechelises in the "F" models and LC.

I had my filler cap assembly replaced last week, it is a known problem, it is a big job,( all day ) they have to remove a lot of trim to get to it, works fine now, springs out with a lot more force.
