Also if it has Tpms that will need sorting. Failure light on wouldn’t be good at MOT time.

Should be fine. Check your insurance company are happy though.

I'd go fill it. The average mpg reading on the current consumption display resets when it is filled up, the range probably does the same. This is all assuming the fuel gauge is working - if it isn't then you more likely have a broken connection or faulty sensor. Also it will say 0 when you get down to about 1/6 of a tank as the reserve is huge.

Got there in the end, thanks Steve

colin79666 got stuck with order #2605 thanks.

Perhaps the offer can be extended once fixed?

Well Costco round these parts has been selling fuel since last month. Been through a few tankfuls now. My wallet is certainly happier with 108.9 vs the additional 7-15p per litre that BP/Shell are asking. 4p a litre cheaper than Asda. Costco make quite a bit play about the fact they put the full suite of additives in both the 99 Ron and standard 95 Ron fuels.

Same issue, also emailed Steve back to report it

What happened today (the suspense is killing us )?

Have a look at Quote Me Happy. Its part of Aviva but online only so usually about 10% cheaper - do multicar discounts as well.

My mistake, was looking at Lexus website but on IS 200 not IS 200t.

200t actually costs more for some service items as it has a timing belt, cheaper for brake component however. CT200h major service is £50 cheaper than the IS 200t/250/300h and £10 for a minor so not much in it in the grand scheme of things. I'm very happy with my CT 200h as a commuting car, as said above, but now that I'm doing more miles these days I might consider the 300h next time round as it is more refined out of town.

This gets a bit like polish and wax - different things but sometimes mixed up to refer to each other. All weather - works well is all conditions but not quite as good in winter a a full winter tyre, some all seasons better in snow as they typically are closer to a winter tyre in design. Better than an all season in summer, particularly dry braking. All season - usually a winter tyre made a bit better for summer by compromising winter properties a little. I haven't tried the Pirelli Verde All Season but have had great success with the Michelin Cross Climate all weather tyres on my CT 200h. If you do a lot of miles then having a summer and a winter set gives the best tyre for the conditions but otherwise my own view is all seasons/all weather are a good compromise for the UK climate although I'm a bit weary about the summer performance of some all seasons.

Assuming the someone wasn't yourself have you reported it to the Police? Unlikely but there is a chance someone owned up or there was a witness and the culprit can be traced. I can't image this will be <£500, especially if new OEM parts. Second hand front bumpers are £200 on eBay, say £70 for the grill and perhaps another £250 for paint and labour.

Well I commute 75% dual carriageway on a 50 mile round trip commute each day in my 2014 CT200h. Engine noise isn't an issue and road noise is less than most other hatchbacks I've been in. The Yokohama OEM tyres aren't the quietest but switch to something else and it helps. IS would be more refined but expect less mpg and higher servicing/maintenance costs. If you are comfortable in the CT and ok with the performance then it makes a fine car for commuting if you really don't want t a diesel. As with any car you are considering get a test drive and be sure to go on the kinds of roads your commute would cover.

The front DRLs and tail lights come on mine (2014 post facelift) provided it is dark.

The marmite car. Personally I think it looks awful and those wheels look like something out of Halfords ripspeed range The blue example looks ok but not so much as to date existing cars. The bigger screen is the only change I’ve seen so far that actually appeals to me and seems necessary.

No need to change for UK climate. If you are in the artic circle then perhaps.

Interesting. Perhaps not all warranties are the same. Mine is clearly with Toyota:

That is just how they are. It is really for helping avoid misjudging the corners rather than what is directly in front. To be fair you should see the hazard through the windscreen.

You can get a PDF copy on the Lexus website. Copy of the relevant bits. Note the jump starting point is under the fuse box at the right of the engine bay. Connect a positive jumper cable clamp to the exclusive jump starting terminal on your vehicle. Connect the clamp on the other end of the positive cable to the positive (+) battery terminal on the second vehicle. Connect a negative cable clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal on the second vehicle. Connect the clamp at the other end of the negative cable to a solid, stationary, unpainted metallic point away from the exclusive jump starting terminal and any moving parts. Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to recharge the 12-volt battery of your vehicle. Open and close any of the doors of your vehicle with the power switch off. Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the hybrid system of your vehicle by turning the power switch to ON mode. Make sure the “READY” indicator comes on. If the indicator light does not come on, contact any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional. Once the hybrid system has started, remove the jumper cables in the exact reverse order from which they were connected. Close the exclusive jump starting terminal cover, and reinstall the fuse box cover to its original position. Note that the hybrid system starting does not necessarily start the engine. You don't need to keep the donor car running once the hybrid system is started (ready light on).

Battery is in the boot at the right side under the storage tray but here is a charging point under the bonnet. The owners manual has instructions. Ticking sounds like a solenoid but not sure. It is easy to flatten the auxiliary battery as it is smaller than an conventional car battery.

Quite a handy size. I leave a bottle of it in the arm rest storage bin and a chocolate bar over winter in case I get stuck somewhere.

Yep, just fitted them and apart from the codes printed on them they are identical to the ones that came off the car.
