Yeah you can - if you open the door and then use the inside controls to lock all the doors and then close the door - itll be locked from the outside. But - bear in mind that the immobiliser wont be on.

Do you trust your neighbour? If so - it may be a better option to leave a key with them - just the electronic fob without the tag and the manual key. I tend to give my father in law the key to my cars and I give the neighbour his number just in case the alarm goes off or anything. Having said that - I leave my car (albeit in the garage) for 4 weeks at a time and had no problems - even starts first time too.

Courtesy of Lexus USA - Ive definitely settled on White with Red leather now!

Yeah WTF is that all about lol.

OOooooh - SHINY! Wife's is being collected on Friday this week but its a 63 plate - was supposed to be last Friday but paperwork didn't arrive from DVLA and of course, dealers are busy today - working all day tomorrow and salesperson not there on Thursday!!

It wont fit anyway - its ever so slightly wider

In car satnav will never be redundant. They'll just reduce the price

When I got my (used) CT they provided roadside cover for me. I called to add my partner and they issued new cards.....but the expiry date had moved forward three months..... Thats weird - hope you shouted down the phone at them! I paid for mine - £115 for a year as the 3 year cover I got has run out!

Toothpaste works well - try it! If its not taking it off, the UV damage is on the inside!

No problems whatsoever on mine yet. It's just over 3 years old with 32k miles on. Mine makes a light clunk when coming to a stop but it's brake pads moving in calipers apparently. Hasn't got worse or been a problem though I wouldn't worry about short trips on a petrol motor. It's diesels where it's a problem.

I read this in the paper, what a jealous idiot. I hope he is caught and has to pay for the damage, the image is clear enough for him to be known. My dash cam switches off with the engine I cannot think of a way to make it stay on. If I had an Aston I would invest on a 360 degree system. Ed The article says he's been arrested so hopefully they'll have enough evidence to prosecute. . Sent from my iPad using Lexus OC He'll get out of it I bet

Buddy you paid more for tyres fitting than I did at Lexus Bradford - £12.50 a tyre + free wash and vac haha! Good to know the tyres arrived as expected - Tyreleader is actually very good if you know exactly what you're buying

Id stick with no warranty - at 20k its highly unlikely anything is going to come up - even then, most likely itd be wear and tear

It's worth noting that the salesmen are all driving around IS300h's where I live. I spotted 3 in a week in the same route at the same time on different days. I noted the look of the driver and the driver was the same on all 3 occasions but in different IS300Hs!!

Cruising range seems very low on these cars. Like I said, the cruise range goes down slower than the miles you drive. Eventually it works out about 500 miles for the CT

Lexus have already said a firm NO to Apple Car play and Android equivalents. However, Toyota has recently been involved with Ford in terms of infotainment and perhaps something will come of it. I've been promised a huge fix is coming soon, how soon is a question I need answered but I've been told a few months atleast Now, as the wife's IS300H is coming soon, would someone kindly tell me how to actually update the system from whatever it is to the latest version? Im assuming you download something from the net and then plug it into the car?

Your dealers probably ******* then, Ive always collected a very very clean car. Even the engine bay gets wiped down well

Nope, only ever see about 1 in a month or so

I think it's the tyres mate. What brand and how old are they? Some budget tyres make really awful noises

The problem with Waitrose is - every time I've been ive noticed no difference in quality of goods compared to Asda/Tesco or Lidl. My Mercedes regularly goes to the independent - Im not paying £500 a service for a car worth £3k! However, I have noticed that every time I get the Merc serviced, the seats are grubby, the carpets are grubby (they're grey!) and even if I put plastic on the floor and seats beforehand, they manage to get their fingers everywhere else! Not to mention the scratches on the wheels when changing tyres and inevitable corrosion on crap Merc wheels afterwards. Always manage to get scratches near the bonnet too! There are 3 recommended independents near me but Ive been to them all and can't see why people go there - you just get your "pristine" car dirty - the damn oil doesn't come out of the carpets now! On a side note - Lexus quoted me £750 for 2 majors and a minor on an IS300h and 2 MOT's included. That works out £250 each year including the hybrid healthcheck and wash and vac - no extra bits The cheapest ive got for 3 services around here by an independent is £500. Id rather just have the full Lexus services done for £250 extra (minus MOT cost)- works out only £100 more a year and it'll go in expenses anyway.

Yep thats spot on - actually the cruise range is calculated based on current MPG. Travelled 340 miles to Gloucester and back - cruise range was showing 349 miles at first - when I got to Gloucester it was showing 223 miles. When I got back home it was still showing 60 miles! lol

I'd make sure he will be using 0w-20 oil for that price, that grade is quite expensive. Yup I think 5l of castrol is £60

I wonder if roadside assistance is handled by the same company as I called 2 months ago as I haven't received the wife's card for the joint policy. Still nothing - reminds me, I should have a rant down the phone at them tomorrow

Its exactly 25 miles on my RX450h. Ive done 420 miles on a tank and the low fuel light came on so the RX can do 445 miles on one tank. BTW it doesn't take into account whats in the reserve - Lexus systems are super cautious!

Yeah urm I wouldn't do that - you'll have to pay for the Hybrid health check each year, otherwise the hybrid warranty is VOID. The reason I choose Lexus servicing is because they've taken good care of my car - no chips or scratches anywhere. I dont trust independents - Ive been to many and they touch everything with dirty fingers, oil all over the carpets etc etc - every single independent ive been to has done it!
