    Reliable diesel engines? Not sure you have your information right. They are only reliable if doing over 15k miles a year. A4 costs like £45k to the same spec as an IS anyway! This is a facelift, not a 4th gen

    Test for semi aniline - drop of water. It should sit on the surface but then use a cloth and put it on the water. There should be a darker spot for a few minutes due to semi aniline leather absorbing water. However, 3is doesn't come with semi aniline. Bar the LS, RX Premier and GS premier I think they're all coated leather

    Yeah same seller, they were like the carpets I had in my Ford Fiesta back in the day lol. They started rolling up on the ends but the worse bit was the accumulation of little bits. Couldnt hoover the thing so had to keep extracting it. Why the OEM ones so expensive? RX450h ones are £70 for a pair from a dealer if you haggle!

    Got these for my RX just for the winter - waste of money. They lasted a few weeks before rolling up on the sides etc and they're so thin its unbelievable. Its not anywhere near OEM quality. Ive had my OEM ones for 4 years now and they barely look used! Spend the money on the proper mats and you won't be disappointed. The above ones are genuinely crap Also yes, its short pile but that doesn't mean its easy to clean. Things stick to it and get tangled in it.

    Yes, go for the SE if it doesn't have warranty. Dont really need the reversing camera, its not that that big. Just get some aftermarket parking sensors put on instead. Air suspension is a killer in SE-L models, especially those without warranty.

    OEM are the best quality for the money IMO. Ebay is the best bet, there's always new ones on there but also some second hand bargains if you're lucky.

    It does appear that modern Lexus vehicles don't benefit from higher RON fuels in terms of performance and MPG. Having said that, the benefits of them may be a long term thing, especially with the extra additives that are supposed to help clean the debris out. It is worth remembering that the US and UK cars are exactly the same in terms of engine and power produced. Therefore these cars are meant to run on Premium US unleaded which is 91 Octane, the equivalent of 95 octane in the UK.

    Seems on par with Meguiars #16 which is very underrated. Seems like Harley wax is another on of those underrated products. Ill get hold of a tin and try it out
  9. rayaans
    Harly wax is one I haven't tried yet. How long does it tend to last?

    Still no rattles whatsoever in the IS. Nothing at all its dead silent. My are has developed about 2 in the past year though which are rectified by loading it with 5 passengers :/
  11. rayaans
    I'm pretty sure it's smaller than the IS 3rd gen in all directions apart from height too
  12. rayaans
    I was told that there will be rattles in any car and that they should be found in the first 2 years. They said afterwards it could be anything causing it
  13. rayaans
    Might be a good idea to fiddle with the settings. There's soft blow, fast blow and medium which does change how cold it gets. Also leaving car in ECO mode will make it more efficient but less effective
  14. rayaans
    I was told it changed last year but my dealer says they usually do it anyway and claim it as "repair" instead of "rattle"
  15. rayaans
    RX300 out of there. Mine was extremely reliable and I had for 8 years!
  16. rayaans
    Yes but be careful. Lexus warranty on rattles is only 2 years now but they'll probably sort it regardless
  17. rayaans
    Yeah if only Lexus UK marketing department could just sort that out! TBH I think I would get used to the engine eventually but the main problem is the lack in availability of certain gadgets!

    No touch up for these but been told Phantom grey works well. However, if your car is used there is a 90% chance they aren't the original colour anyway
  19. rayaans
    No idea but its a common issue on the RX. The fix is to take it apart and pad everywhere inside, especially where there is metal on metal
  20. rayaans
    There is an RC owner who is having these issues. Seems to be a seal on the B pillar that's not fitted correctly. May be worth taking a look??
  21. rayaans
    Very very fishy indeed. Its very likely that the seller was trying to "sell" a vehicle thats not his. In other words, scam!
  22. rayaans
    It is too coarse and also lays down really thick! Its better for polish I guess.
  23. rayaans
    Its not slow for what it is - it just hates Yorkshire lol....... and makes too much noise when its here!
  24. rayaans
    Except no one will buy the car off you come selling time

    The new RX infotainment is good. It's the same layout as the IS and NX but the whole system is just faster which helps alot. The 2017 LC is coming out with the ALL NEW infotainment system Also, Lexus has just patented an augmented reality windscreen. It's basically a full windscreen HUD!!! Bet it's coming on the LS for sure!
