  1. Sounds like something is either draining the battery, or the battery itself isn't up to it. I'd probably replace the battery to be honest, most likely to be it.
  2. Utter crap to deal with and have a set 30 minute of optional extra and accessories that they try to sell you. Additionally, I would check the service history of those particular vehicles. Evans Halshaw vehicles always tend to have atleast 1 service missing.
  3. The Blizzak are supposed to be the bees knees. Id probably opt for those if I was in the market.
  4. Thats not particularly true. Some tyre companies (National Tyes) recommend inflating 10psi over manufacturer recommended levels as tyre pressures vary between 4-8 psi on any normal journey. Tyre pressures also vary depending on which wheels are turned, how much load the car has inside etc Insurance companies cannot directly measure this because in some cases, cars are levelled differently if there is an incident etc. My RX is pumped up to 36psi. Its recommended at 32psi. They are recommendations, not the law.
  5. You can at a push and you don't need isofix points especially for booster seats and the like.
  6. If you're waiting they'll usually tend to do it in about 2 hours. I wouldn't expect more. Having said that I'd still use whichever was closest
  7. Stick the product code into Car parts 4 less and see what happens..... lol
  8. I think it is model dependent as you mention. The RX for example has extremely sensitive headlights even when on the lowest setting. It'll turn on under trees in my driveway whereas the IS on the lowest setting wont.
  9. Should still work because the air con will still be running despite the engine not being on. Do you keep the AC on all the time, because you shouldn't be turning it on and off. This is by far the largest cause of bad smells from AC. Wont be covered under service plan no. The fact that its happened on such a new car makes me think the AC hasn't been on all the time.
  10. Thats too sensitive. Put it all the way to the bottom Headlights in the middle setting seem to be on almost all the time.
  11. Things like Carpro Hydro2 would knock it out of the park though and arguably are easier to use.
  12. They've definitely just bunged it off the updated RC. With Lexus it makes sense as they look like L's but what the hell were BMW thinking - doesn't characteristically look like a BMW that car.
  13. 95% of the wash swirls on Lexus paint can be removed using a light finishing polish which is ideal. Unfortunately, with Sonic Red, there are only a few options to correct the dent. Filler and touch up with a stick if its small or a full respray
  14. NVH and quality isn't as good though on the CHR. Similar to getting a Tiguan from a Q5
  15. Most will just buy the FWD Takumi I presume. AWD is a gimmick in these cars anyway and there's no situation in which the E-4 will be of any use in comparison to FWD tbh. Its certainly not strong enough to get you out of a ditch as its not sophisticated enough and its of no use in ice either. The 360 degree camera is included in the Takumi pack. If someone needs 360 degree cameras on a car of this size, I think more driving lessons are in order.
  16. Its not normal. It should be dimmed only when its dark outside and the lights are on. Having the auto headlight sensitivity too much could trigger it I suppose
  17. I think it generally does depend on the dealer and the margin they have on that particular vehicle. For example, Ive found Lexus Stockport, Leeds and Bradford to be fairly on it in terms of sales. They really do push hard to get you the deal you're looking for unless its completely unrealistic. Also, Cheltenham in terms of sales were pretty good as well I thought although the preparation of their vehicles is not as good as Stockport/Bradford. On the other hand, Lexus Edgeware Road were a hassle to deal with and Croydon weren't great either. I never received replies from Lexus Ediburgh/Glasgow. As to the advert in question, it must have been changed recently because when I looked a couple of weeks ago the pictures were quite clear. With discounts, I've found you can get up to £1k on most cars unless you buy new £3-10k depending on model. I was actually offered a brand new GS-F for £10k below list price. I think the issue is that there are so many cars out there now that dealers don't bother with chasing unless they know you really want the car. Lots of people test drive and buy something completely different so it isn't efficient to try and get a sale from someone who will just buy another German marque
  18. Technically it came out in 2012 and they wouldn't add these features on unless there was a mid cycle facelift. They did add them in 2015. The heated seats can be forced to stay on. Dealer only setting or on something like the carista app.
  19. It depends on the insurer. Some will allow winter tyres for example with a lower speed rating whilst others won't. It's best to check
  20. Joke of a price. The ones on my 4RX cost less and they're the most awkward size ever
  21. Wow can they really? I bought Michelin's for £120 each and fitted for £12.50 a corner at Lexus. Really wouldn't be worried about low mileage cars anymore either. Its more age that seems to affect vehicles nowadays.
  22. Do 2-3 days a week to start and aim for 4-5/week Usually my routine is chest, biceps and cardio on Mondays - (3 sets of 8-12 reps for each of these - raised leg pushups, dumbell bicep curls, incline bench press, isolation bicep curls, standard bench press, hammer curls and finishing off with standard pushups). Follow with cardio - either running or bicycle. This shouldn't take you more than 1 hour a day. You should be able to get the weights done in 30-40mins. Tuesday - Triceps and Back (3 sets of 8-12 for each again - lat pull downs, tricep kickbacks, dumbell row, tricep dips, shrugs, narrow grip pull ups and finishing off with weighted rows). I dont do dead lifts as they tend to do more harm than good. Cardio again afterwards. Wed - Rest day Thurs - Shoulders and abs - (3 sets of 8-12 for front and lateral dumbell raises, shoulder press, crunches and 3 sets of 8-12 30s planks. Cardio afterwards Friday - Leg day - squats, hamstring raises, calf raises etc etc. This is the one that usually knackers me out so Im out of the gym in 40 mins as I dont do cardio on this day. Slender tone works but only really for shaping. If you have a layer of fat over the abs, it won't make any visual difference. In terms of contracts, Puregym do rolling 1 month contracts and they can be moved to another site, for example if you move to another part of the country. Mostly, I prefer to go to the backstreet gyms which are cash for 1 month and end of.
  23. Yep thats correct. Aftermarket parts in warranty period will invalidate the warranty, especially if there is hybrid failure as these aren't designed to tow very much at all.
  24. Chain driven. I haven't heard of any chains being replaced at all tbh
