It has a cat, probably just one in the engine bay and not the second one under the car (the one that gets stolen) as the GPF will be there instead. Prius isn't sold in the UK, but the same drivetrain will start to appear in the Corolla.

It isn't directly provided self-levelling is still working and the beam alignment/pattern is correct.

The facelift IS300h (late 2016 MY17 onwards) has CAN bus headlights and therefore wiring which can be intercepted at the front of the vehicle, like the series IV RX. Your 2015 model doesn't.

Service A is minor, Service B is major. The additional £ 104 would be covering the MOTs and actually provides a small discount (depending if the dealer normally discounts MOT price).

No. It doesn't add water to the air. It stops moisture evaporation from your skin so would actually reduce the amount of water within the vehicle.

Service plans typically don't provide a discount against current ad-hoc service pricing but they lock in the price so you are inflation protected and allows you to pay by instalments. Current NX service pricing is £305/580 so your plan including MOTs is about right.

No one does until it is finally confirmed but provisionally I suspect it will appear late in 2023 for MY24 models. All this does is if you are in recycle mode when you turn off the car, after a minute it automatically puts the system into fresh air mode so air can circulate, and then when you switch back on it remembers it should in recycle mode and automatically switches back.

Different people, different experiences. I wouldn't take my F there after 3 bad experiences on previous vehicles. But my wife's UX still goes there.

Many people may feel the same but it's a brave man to state it publicly 🤣

More of an issue when jump starting. When you connect a battery charger, the charger should be switched off and only switched on once you have connected it to the battery - therefore there is no risk of a spark.

Nothing wrong with your hybrid traction battery. The 12 v battery is small and can easily go flat, especially in this cold weather which affects useable capacity. In theory it should have been fine to do what you did but I'd recommend never turning on the ignition without going all the way into Ready mode and let the engine cut in/out as required to keep the hybrid battery charged. I imagine that the 12 v battery was allowed to discharge on the forecourt and this has damaged/lowered its capacity. Whilst it will probably still work fine if you keep it charged up, you won't get the same duration before it goes flat again and therefore get the dealer to replace it. If you aren't cumulatively using your vehicle for at least an hour a week then you will want to charge up the 12 v battery (either using a charger (such as Noco or CTEK) or putting the vehicle into Ready mode for 60 minutes).

Ask for your money back on the screen wash because I doubt it was below -10 degC where you are.

Plugs are due at 60k miles - no age limit. Dealers always try and change them on the '60k' service unless you insist they don't - and get them to check with Lexus UK if they won't believe you. However at 50k it isn't going to be that long before you need them changed so you might as well just get them done? If it was 6 years old and only 30k miles then I'd recommend you wait. I'm not sure why we have a 60k interval in the UK. The US has a 100k limit for the same engine/plugs.

As with most things it could be simple or complex. You should walk away.

It's not uncommon for vehicles with adaptive cruise control to get confused. Plenty of vehicle forums complain about this. Certainly you don't want to follow too closely to a Tesla as they look further left and right than other vehicles, get frightened by trucks two lanes adjacent and then suffer from phantom braking. The Lexus manuals normally have about 3 pages of warning about using the system. You need to be alert and look out for these situations where the system isn't reliable and either turn it off or be ready to press the accelerator to override the automatic braking.

Why is a Lexus dealer giving you a Toyota as a loan vehicle? Even though the dealers I use have a combined Toyota/Lexus site I've always been given Lexus loan vehicle - never even a CT, always something higher up in the range.

Fixed it for you 😉. I Toyota own Daihatsu but it isn't a Toyota engine. I personally went for a Yaris for my daughter, I felt the Aygo is just too small to offer any reasonable safety in a crash.

Yes the GS F is affected, probably nearly all of them. My old GS F is on the list.

Then there should be no issue whatsoever. Sounds like your battery has suffered an early failure similar to OP.

If you commute only one day a week and then don't drive the vehicle at any time for the rest of the week then it may not be enough in the winter but anything more than that any you would be fine (if you have a healthy battery).

You get heated rear seats with F Sport and the T&S pack.

The Premium Sport Edition adds some cosmetics and features over the RX with Premium Pack, basically giving you the tech & safety pack as well. I don't think there is anything an F Sport with T&S pack wouldn't have and obviously the F Sport has its own unique features such as the different styling, seats, instrument cluster, sports steering, sports dampers with active suspension, adaptive high beam, active sound control etc. Info about the Sports Edition can be found here:

Lexus don't advise the use of additives because they don't want to imply their engines need it. If you are consuming oil then it is probably carbon build up on the piston oil control rings which seize up and let oil passed, and ultimately will wear the bores to the point where it will irreparably let more oil through. Getting rid of carbon deposits is difficult, so products with PEA as the best but even these are not really effective if you are just adding a small concentration to the fuel. I'm currently trying a couple of products on my son's Yaris but I think it will get to the point where I'll need to pour some directly into the cylinders and let it sit for a couple of days and then change the oil.
