Nice gesture, this is why I love this forum. I sincerely hope Rich can sort out the issues with minimal financial outlays. The issues seems minor imo.

Wish they would do offers on the bigger sizes 19” and larger

Nice Charlie, please upload pictures later.

On the colours, my mantra is always to go and view the cars at a dealership, it is often difficult to decide based on on-screen images. regarding remote start, am not sure you can retrofit them even if you do, your insurance premium might go up as UK insurers might deem your car being prone to driveway theft with the addition of such technology. Happy motoring.

Never considered this an issue until I saw this thread. i simply put my hand up and touch the any of the three light covers and they come on.

I have not had any issue with 4RX, after 20 months of ownership from new. So nothing to worry about

Habu, which Lexus centre do you use?

Whilst I agree that most owners of current N.A V8 cars will bemoan the loss of the N.A engine, I believe we must see the reasons why manufacturers are going the turbocharging route. Porsche have done it with their latest 911 and if as expected this engine comes with the same state of tune as in the 2018 LS 500, then we would expect minimum 416bhp @6000rpm and at least 442 lb-ft@1,600-4,800 rpm. Thus the torque figures is a lot more than in the current V8, which is only 371 lb-ft@5,200 rpm. Thus I would argue that the new engine would be more powerful but may not sound as sweet as the old; but only time would tell. Happy new year to everyone.

Twin turbo V6- exhilarating

I might if it drives well and the figures fit

Hi Jason - I have been running mine from New (March 2018) and No issues whatsoever to date.

Congrats

A surprising narrative Jules, I would like to hear what Lexus UK have to say, have you shared these concerns with them?. secondly I will be aggrieved as much as you are if I had spent close to £80K on a car and finding all these issues.

Mike, that was a very neat car you’ve got for yourself am sure it would even be better looking once you finish the project. I will be interested in how you install the interior lights - is it going to be one of those that could change colours according to one’s moods?

Sorry to hear of your experience. Am not sure if it’s anything to do with the model 450h in general as there are many examples with 120k on the clock still cruising around happily. I had one myself years back on an 08 plate and sold ito a friend at 55k six years ago and he is still using it till now without any issue

Exactly that’s what I do, the most amazing feature is the photo view of the destination that you can view before you get there especially if you are going to a place you’ve never been before

Always tricky at first, I hope you are using your home WiFi as that is the best way, also you have to follow the instruction in the Navigation manual . When I set mine up, I had the manual by my side and was parked in front of my house to be able to connect to the home WiFi before I was successful

Lexus Hatfield is great I have been using them for the last eight years. Excellent dealership

Thanks guys, as you may imagine I already did a lot of internet research before I posted on the forum. A lot of my findings came from the American forums. The narrative is often too techy for me to fully understand . I also approached one audio specialist store but they themselves do not seem to know how to integrate the existing ML amp and hence their solution was to bypass it altogether and sell me an aftermarket amp and subwoofer package. This is clearly not an option for me. I also tried ML site in the states whether I would find a download link for the wiring system, but no that isn’t available either. At this point I guess what I really need is a UK based audio store who have good experience of working on ML systems in Lexus cars. Thus if anyone know of such in the London area, please let me know .
