Thats what I fear - false alarms! However, because I was bored, I phoned the dealer as to how it all works. They said that 4psi below what it should be and the light will turn on and it depends on the lowest tyre. So, it was set to 36psi a month ago when the car was bought from the dealer. Lowest tyre was at 32psi so it was triggered. Pumping back up to 37psi will get rid of the light. The dealer confirmed that you shouldn't ever need to reset the tpms unless you are of course rotating tyres etc

Ill have to see if it comes back on. However, the manual states that the light SHOULD go off by itself after filling up with air. It also says the reset procedure should only be used when rotating tyres, going on long journeys etc. Nothing about routine air filling or when pressure drops due to natural temperature drops.

Ive been opening my RX one manually from time to time for 3 years...! However, mine doesn't open automatically when pressing the button on the hatch. It needs lifting up. Im sure the NX is slightly different in that you press the button on the hatch and then it goes up automatically?

Probably a dud batch - The IS300h F-Sport shocks are made by tokico for reference. Of course, it does depend on how fast you go over bumps and the like!

OK so my wife got impatient - called me to say that the light was on in the afternoon and still on after a 10 minute drive so she went and put some air in. Air readings were OK but as expected were relatively low for the car - 32,33,33,35. She pumped them up to 37psi all 4 and it went by itself (no reset required) after 2 minutes or so.

So it appears the GS-F is getting great reviews in comparison to the RC-F which was dissed by almost every review going! When Autoexpress are forced to give it 4 stars - thats saying something! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/lexus/gs/93126/new-lexus-gs-f-2015-review http://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/lexus/4dr-auto/first-drive http://www.motoringresearch.com/first-drive/lexus-gs-f-review-2015-first-drive-1014999014

So the TPMS light has come on today - wife nearly soiled her panties! She thought she had a puncture or something. Anyways - visually, the tyres look like they have a decent amount of pressure at the moment so will check in a few days. BUT - do you have to reset this thing using the button under the steering wheel? Or does it disappear by itself? Reason being, the manual is somewhat contradictory. It says it should go away on its own after a few minutes, but then also goes on to talk about initialization (resetting basically). I guess I could reset it after filling to 36 psi but how do you this exactly? Im assuming its just turn the car fully on (foot on brake + power button) and then press and hold the reset switch until it flashes 3 times? The worst part of this light is the fact that Im away until Friday night starting early tomorrow morning AND my wife is going to bug me about it on the phone every day until its sorted :/

I'm not too sure. The NX doesn't have that much discount on it on their site. Tbf even X5 and Q7 have great prices on autoebid On a side note - it appears that Lexus Leeds gave Bodmeister the GS-F price! Its £69995. Been getting decent reviews from Autoexpress

Very odd though. Havent had a car that drips this bad!

Something ive noticed that really pisses me off! Washed the car on Saturday and dried it using my favourite purple monster towel! BUT - the car drips like crazy! Under the mirrors and fuel cap (OK not strictly that bad as it only happens once), but the sill under the doors drove me mad! They just wouldnt stop! Eventually opened all 4 doors and let it dry out naturally! What a pain lol.

Yep, 51.4mpg average. Autoebid doing £6k off list price for the F-Sport version, didn't bother to check Premier. Their website is showing both current and new models but the newer models have a higher price and higher MPG if you look closely!

YAY!!! my wife beat the 30mpg wall! 32mpg atm!! Its basically doing 55-60mpg down the hill and when it goes back up its doing some ridiculously low figure so average works out 32mpg! It shows 410miles on a tank cruising range which rapidly drops when going up hills!

1) Theres a little switch in the glovebox for the power boot, check it out and see if it makes a difference. Also, try the spare fob to see if that works. If not, may need taking to the dealer. 2) Not paid much notice to it but mine is semi-soft open. Its not too fast and not too slow. Best thing to do is pop into the dealers and check their demo as they all use the same interior bits. 3) You'll need to activate the rear wiper and turn it off when it gets halfway and is completely vertical. You can buy refills or just change the whole blade, its a standard hook type fitting. 4) Im not too sure on the exact specifications of the SEL Premier but if it has Adaptive cruise control, it should have the PCS too. To check if you have adaptive cruise control, look for the button on the steering wheel with a wave coming out of the front. The PCS switch off button should be close to the steering wheel, either where the buttons are to the right of the steering wheel, or, if equipped, where the TPMS reset button is which is further down, near the bonnet opening lever 5) That thud would need checking by a mechanic - sounds like a suspension issue.

I wonder if the F-pace will be a competitor. Its a really odd thing being in between an NX and the new RX in terms of dimensions and pricing also sits in between the NX and RX too apart from the S models which go to about £60-65k with a decent spec. No petrol engines either apart from the 3.0 V6 - very odd, and the Diesel only has 180hp. Id imagine the test figures are slightly optimistic at 8.2s!

I know see post 11!! Yep the dealers buy them directly at even less. They get them for about £45

Are you sure it's not the rear subwoofer? I think an owner had a rattle in that

It's aluminium effect plastic. Thing it's £70 inc shipping from rearguards which make them. Sticks on with 3M tape

Not yet, I am sure it will come, is has to. Some way off yet though. Unlikely - their investing in hydrogen

80 dB is ridiculous, it is the first action level under the Noise at Work regs, at which hearing protection must be provided. Noise is a killer for me, and I once sold on a Skoda Octavia Scout very quickly because of road noise. I would not have expected it to be a problem in a Lexus, and must be careful when I change my car not to make assumptions based on my LS experience Thats odd, I have an IS300h, not much road noise at all - only slightly louder than my RX. Its running on the 18" with 225 front and 255 rear so not exactly small sizes

Did they not offer to take your car in PX and provide a demo for a while? odd.

You can put some OEM ones on as the Luxury rides on 17". Older IS 17" wheels will also fit.

Honestly, I wouldn't be looking at the 2012 ones - rides like a rock and is essentially a Prius with nicer interior and body. Id suggest going towards the newer models or getting something like an Aygo as Im 300% sure it'll be pranged in the first month of ownership

Choose another dealer - Lexus Carlisle is **** anyway - they hardly sell any used Lexus and have resorted to selling other brands "approved used" under the Lexus banner - SHOCKING!

There are no leaders though - that would imply you can buy one today - the leader would therefore have to be Tesla as the P90D can almost drive itself.

Although I still think all Lexus vehicles ride better than any of their German rivals
