    I'd also change both at the same time. Very likely the other one will pop within a few months. Osram nightbreaker hid lamps are brilliant

    Diamond cut just means the finish is machined. They look like metal very easy to spot On the 3rd gen RX only the later advance models had diamond cut wheels. The rest had standard wheels
  3. rayaans
    What did you think?

    Yes I have done on the wifes car. They don't stamp the book but provide you with a service certificate with the mileage and date anyway. So to me, it doesn't really matter as it has the Lexus logo on it, its all recorded online and its also proof of servicing.

    They removed the IS200t at the same time as the facelift came out. There are some IS200t's on 17 plates I believe but the pre-facelift due to late registration

    Yes they are, ours have been on since new so over 5 years and just needed changing now. They still werent down to illegal. They were on 3mm but were starting to skip. Hard as nails Seem ok so far on greasy roads but not had any real rain. They're A rated for wet grip and the reviews are very favourable so I dont imagine they'll be bad. Ive always been impressed with Goodyear tyres in the wet They'll be used all year round.

    I suspect they might have been early versions? To clarify these are the F1 Asymmetric 3s. Will see how they wear but even if they last 2-3 years I'll be happy

    Well the corrosion occurs on the diamond cut wheels. They don't need any kerb damage to happen. A simple stone chip will set the corrosion off in those. Other 19" RX wheels don't suffer from the issue

    Difficult when you haven't driven new cars on new tyres but remember that I have even driven the facelifted IS300h with less than 3k miles on the clock with original bridgestones on and ours is now much quieter than even those! Its nearly as quiet as my RX now 🙂 And it actually rides better 😮
  10. rayaans
    They're deadly quiet compared to the Bridgestones that came off. They used to roar. These barely make a sound and should have been what the IS300h came out of the factory like. The ride is also much better. They soak up the bumps due to the softer sidewalls despite being XL rated

    Yep been running for years as well. Alignment they did for £65 too.

    3RX doesn't have sport + mode
  13. rayaans
    Id probably sell the wife and call it a day 🙂

    Think the fronts were about £80 and the rears £120 from memory but blackcircles had £25 off if buying 4 tyres.
  15. rayaans
    Fitted by Lexus for £12.50 each including VAT. I paid £376 for the tyres from blackcircles

    Had 4 Goodyear eagle F1 fitted to the IS. It was still on original Bridgestones from factory Have to say they've completely transformed the car. Dead quiet, no more road noise associated with tyres and the ride is much improved. Well worth it. Not to mention they stick round the corners like glue as well.

    I would assume TPMS is standard as its illegal not to have them on a car registered after 2014. The standard audio system is tinny because it only has 6 speakers. Most likely a compatibility issue with the iphone 10 as the system is quite dated now.

    The nick would probably be repaired yes as its easy to do. The colour itself isn't that problematic to match so thats good. I would assume the rear door will be replaced and the front might be repaired and then the surrounding areas would need the paint blending in to ensure a good match. I would expect a hefty bill though - £3k+ if actually replacing the door

    the air suspension mainly affected 2nd gen RX's There really aren't enough 3rd gen RX's with air suspension to be accurate in terms of failure rates but I dont think there are mainly on the 3rd gen. However, the 4RX completely does without air suspension and I wonder if there is a reason for that. The hybrid itself is pretty bulletproof

    If you've taken it to a lexus main dealer bodyshop, their standards are usually a lot higher than say a normal insurance body shop. I dont know if you saw the post of when a van scraped my wife's car. It was only the rear bumper and they replaced it - total cost £1780. Lexus don't faf about repairing, they tend to just replace so I presume the rear door will be changed and the front one will have the dents pulled.

    No both are around 30-35mpg. I am yet to drive a 450h which does more than 35mpg in everyday driving unless driven at an extremely sedate pace.
  22. rayaans
    Not really. The 450h would have half the efficiency of a 300h in almost all conditions. Real life fuel economy on them is around 30-35mpg
  23. rayaans
    Depends on how long your keeping it. If you're doing short trips the hybrid doesnt make sense but it will also always retain higher value than the 250 will. In stationary traffic in London, I would expect the 300h to be more than enough.

    Doesn't work. The cars just start the engine regardless. The EV function should work automatically in car parks anyway
  25. rayaans
    Not useful at all tbh. If the engine is cold, it would start regardless and would deactivate the EV.
