200h

i feel the power supply in the radio has blown and probably needs

a few capacitors replacing as they will of taken a surge when the

12v power was re applied  to the car,

i had this with a philips streamium home audio system

plugged it in again and nothing i found 7 capacitors needed replacing

try these in the morning

i had a set of CC's on my old IS300h i couldn't say how long they lasted as

i didnt wear them out i think i had 17000 miles on them and they still had loads

of life left in them

the lateral damping is fitted to the front and rear of the Ct

i haven't had my Ct since 2015 i'm 99% certain that is the size but i am sure someone

else can confirm this size for you

it does need splicing in to the loom as its can be fitted to any car

at least its an option for you

i had something similar the other week on the drivers door panel

everytime i closed the door i could feel the panel move slightly

i found the thread had stripped so i tapped it M6 and used a different

bolt instead.

here is a 3rd party module kit

its well hidden

on the IS300h use the key hole in the boot lid to get to the 12v Battery & hook up

another Battery to the car & get yourself into ready mode straight away then

go for a drive

if you look at the tyre labelling you can see which tyres have good ratings for

Mpg , Wet braking & Road noise

i normally look for tyres with at least a C for fuel , B for braking and 69Db or less for road noise

( A is best & F is the worst)

yes i know colin but Ian probably has the best knowledge on here regarding the F Sport dash

and how it works  and wether it can actually be retro fitted to another model

Andre said "This is my first winter with the 300h here in northern Sweden"

heres the link

ask Ianhu

his cluster didnt work properly on his F sport and he managed to get his cluster to work 

properly on his car but it took him alot of time and effort

i would say he's best one to ask on here

i'll try and find a link for you

215/45/17 is the standard lexus Ct 17" tyre size so i wouldn't of thought they would put

any stress on the gearbox as long at the circumference of the tyre is the same you wont

have any speedo discrepancies either

what is the tyre size of your 15" wheels it can then be checked to see what tyre size you

can go to keeping the speedo reading correctly

glad i could help you

surely in 3.5 yrs you'd of had at least the brake fluid changed once

since most brake fluids are hygroscopic

i know it is James

when will you be starting the research and development project

heres an idea for you james a heated reversing camera.

the times i get to work and then cant see as the camera

has had moisture blown over the lens giving a distorted image

Vw hide their camera behind the Vw boot handle

this keeps the lens clear from frost and blown water

have a watch of this video

it may help you

times are hard, just make sure your nails are cut short

maybe its a relay's contacts fluttering and making the clicking noise,

there maybe enough power to move them but not enough for them to latch

one thing that doesnt help your fuel economy

are hills and in Hampshire you seem to have your

far share of high points

 i'm not saying they all have roads on them but it does give

a good indication of how the land sits

my 66 plate gs300h is £10 per year road tax
