    Car going into Lexus on Thursday for the day so they can check to see if the battery is holding it’s charge. I have a BlackVue dash cam with the magic pro which powers down the camera after a set time or voltage. It now powers down 5 minutes after coming home which means it’s going below 12.5 volts very quickly. When it was fitted it would stay live for hours after.

    Anybody recommend a trickle charger.

    Came back from a 6 week holiday Saturday 10th and the car battery totally flat. Opened the car with key but nothing. AA called and they got it going quickly. Their meter showed the amps going up so left it with me to go for a drive. Lexus dealer said yes can happen. Will take it to the dealer next week for a battery check. They recommended a trickle charger. I have checked the log on my Blackveiw dash cam and it shows it shutting down on December 28th, holiday early 30th so it’s not that. No more events until yesterday. anybody had similar problems?

    Am I correct in thinking the 12v battery powers all the accessories and the hybrid battery starts the engine?

    Just had Black View front and rear cameras fitted. It came with a power save modual so it records while the car is parked. the unit has several settings and is set at the moment to shut down completely after 12hours or 12v on the battery. lexus dealer not willing to comment on the voltage setting, anybody on here got any experience on the subject.

    You could always try this.

    Try milk, it worked on my leather suite. Just put a little on a cloth dab it on and rub.

    In the title you say the battery seems ok, do you mean the fob battery? As the most likely cause is the battery in the fob. Plenty of UTube videos on how to change it.

    2 years old end of next month, fuel trip never reset so that's over the 9430. Maybe 5 or 6 Bristol to Swindon runs otherwise all town short journey journeys. I had several of the previous V6 models and while that is a beutifull engine the hybrid halved my fuel bill although I would have to keep it until I am 100 to see those savings. Just doing my little bit for the planet.

    I am on my second IS300h, had this one since May 2105. Never reset the fuel trip and now coming up to 10,000 miles in mostly town or short journeys mine is averaging 47.3mpg. No motorways, no long journeys. Forget all the talk of 50+ that's one off journeys or a short periods of time..

    Sorry Mark (200h) On holiday in Barbados, had a few drinks yesterday afternoon and my brain was not in control of my typing finger.

    Always found it no problem when I was younger and fitter, in fact our first daughter was conceived on the back seat of my Corsair. Given my age now do not think I will ever get around to trying my IS. !!! Have I understood the question correctly.
  14. Richard1200
    Found it. It was "Route Trace" now turned off, must have got turned on by mistake. Many thanks to all.

    These a very small red circles with a white border. Loads of them on major roads. Will get the Lexus encyclopaedia out and try and find some reference to them.
  16. Richard1200
    A question from a non technical owner. I very rarely use the sat nav but have been leaving it on when out and about recently. What are all the red circles on certain roads. Thought it may indicate heavy traffic but in reality the traffic is light.

    No first aid kit or warning triangle in any of my IS's, that's a BMW feature? The straps to the right side of the boot hold my ex BMW first aid kit, logo and all.

    Have used Lexus Bristol for almost 10 years and 5 new cars and have no negative words to say about them. Always excellent service.

    Looked at one on Wednesday. It's a CT size crossover or a small NX. Really nice, just needs a bit of Lexus magic dust on it change the badges and add moaning noisy rear brakes. Top of the range is a 1.8 Auto Hybrid.

    I hope Lexus build this

    Been out in the car this morning and you must all dismiss the ramblings of an old man. They are ashtrays or ashpots if there is such a word. The back one is a good elbow rest though.

    I have a lexus cup holder insert if you are interested. I had 2 fitted when I bought the car but now only use the rear one as it it more comfortable for your elbow. Does not increase the size but holds the cup better. They are £40 each from Lexus, make me an offer if you want it.

    Only noticing it now the really cold wether has started and only on cobbled surface or block paving coming off our drive. My wife is doing all the driving at the moment and it worries her more than me.
  24. Richard1200
    Anybody else notice this. Hard to describe but juddering, skipping is the best I can do. On full lock especially on cobblestone or slippery surface the front tyres tend to skip as it feels like full lock is a touch too far.
