£17.95 on eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-New-LEXUS-HYBRID-SIDE-BADGE-Rear-Blue-Emblem-For-CT200H-2011-CT-200H/182442098072 Least the salesman can do is supply and fit one. As said above I’d check closely for signs of damage. A repair done properly is fine but the missing badge raises suspicions.

Interesting to hear you think it has sufficient power as quite a few people who have stepped into a CT courtesy car feel it is too slow. The oem tyres are noisy but it is at least partially cured with a switch of rubber. With the engine being so quiet (unless you accelerate hard) road noise is more apparent and I don’t think the CT is as well sound proofed as more expensive models. Agree on the speed limit camera being useless. The F Sport I had when mine was in for servicing in February was complaint as soon as I drove out the dealer forecourt. Wish mine had the adaptive cruise control though!

Right here is a snippet from the owners manual. 16W is the reverse lamp, 21W is the fog light. Msa, are you looking for the reverse bulb (left side when facing the back of a RHD car) or the fog light (right side)? The CT only has one reverse light so perhaps the bulb isn’t blown?

Hmm. I went with what autobulbs direct listed for the model but you might be right. Dipped headlights are definitely H11 (I replaced mine) unless you have the Premier spec LEDs. Side lights are DLRs and part of the headlamp assembly, very unlikely to burn out and not replaceable as a spare bulb. Did some Google work. Old thread here suggests P21W for reverse lamp.

955 (W16W)

From what I can gather you can use any decent SD card that is 2GB or larger (probably not a huge card). Put the card in the car to initialise it and then remove it with prompted. Plug it into your PC and using the TomTom home app you can download the maps. This is in pages 19 & 20 of the manual. Manual here if you didn't get one: http://download.tomtom.com/open/manuals/Lexus_CT_MoveOn_NAVI/refman/Lexus MoveOn Navi_en-GB.pdf Failing all that a dealer can probably source a card for mega bucks or you can but it on eBay for £70-90 (could even be the one stolen from your car...)

2.3 bar at the front, 2.2 at the rear as listed. I’ve got the same model and tyre wear is pretty even after 15k miles so it seems about right.

It’s official that there will be a CT successor and not just the UX. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/lexus/ct/103198/new-2020-lexus-ct-hatch-to-rival-tesla-model-3

Agree the ads are becoming too intrusive. As a gold member I expected fewer/no ads. I totally understand hosting costs money but surely gold membership more than covers any lost ad revenue Right now I’m getting an ad about nursing care covering the top of the page.

Had a look in my own car yesterday and I couldn’t find an option to turn it off. There were options to turn off beeps and another to turn off showin that e speed limit in the sat nav. Not sure if changing these settings would have a knock on affect of turning off the camera warning.

Be sure to check under the car. Bumpers have a habit of popping back into shape and hiding floorpan damage. Glad you are ok. My only accident was when I was a learner stopped at a red light and an old guy in a Rover 800 hit the back of me. Fortunately it was slow speed and I had the handbrake on, like you we moved forward a bit but there wasn't any lasting damage to either car.

£60 at my local dealer: https://www.easternwestern.co.uk/lexus/servicing/air-conditioning.php

Good to hear Lexus understand the UX isn’t going to be a CT replacement for a good percentage of buyers. The CT has always been crying out for a more powerful drive train so the new 2.0 litre hybrid setup would be a perfect match.

Battery would be expensive if outwith warranty but very few fail. It is the same setup as the 3rd gen Toyota Prius and some of those have clocked half a million miles. Most likely the battery will last the life of the car.

Not all Advance have a reversing camera (my 2014 doesn't although it does have sensors front and back).

Interesting. I had a service plan in place and was told the MOT price was £49, oh and they wouldn't do it on a Saturday morning. Well I've voted with my feet and had it done at a local outfit for £30, who would do it on a a Saturday and are more conveniently located for me. Their coffee isn't as nice however . I get the dealer probably has higher overheads but surely good customer service would be to offer a discount when the MOT is booked in at the same time as the service? Especially hybrids when they don't have the emissions test to complete. Disappointing to hear the OPs failure. Was the £95 just for the adjustment/repair? The MOT retest can be partial at reduced cost if you get it back to the test centre within 10 days (or free the next day for some faults).

Had a niggling thought and have just checked on the government website. The 2013 model is Euro 5 where as the 2014 model year was Euro 6. No different in tax bands at present for most trim levels (same CO2 except for the S spec) but it could become important in future as more places roll out low emission zones and the restrictions get tighter. http://carfueldata.dft.gov.uk/

Facelift had a stiffer chassis and therefore slightly softer suspension. Also had some CVT tweaks to make it drone a bit less but overall not much changed other than cosmetics. I'm not aware of anything really to be aware of, both models have excellent reliability with the only thing being the exhaust heat shield being a weak point on some. Your best bet if you are serious is to test drive both and see which is preferred. As a school run car I expect it would be quite good as long as you don't need more than 2 child seats in the back and the relatively small boot (ok depth but not height) is big enough for your wife's needs.

Well mine is nearly 4 and as far as I'm aware it hasn't every been done. The dealer hasn't mentioned it when going for the usual services. I'll see how it performs when the warmer weather comes and may get the air con seen to then. On my previous cars I got it done between 3 and 4 years old as I'd started to notice it wasn't as cold as it used to be. Some outfits recommend every 2 years. More often than that would suggest a leak that needs further attention. I think the gas used in the CT200h isn't as widely available as some so probably best to go to the dealer rather than one of the tyre chains that say they do air-conditioning recharging.

As long as you are happy with the test drive I’d say go for it. The CT 200h was the most reliable car in the latest car magazine surveys. Performance wise the road holding is great, even on a twist B road, but what makes that great can be a ride in town that some people find too firm. Personally I’m a fan of a finer ride than sacrificing cornering. The hybrid system is surprising pokey when you floor it but definitely not fast. Quick enough however and a 2017 model shouldn’t have the cvt drone as much as pre 2014 cars. I’ve found motorway performance to be really good. Comfortable in long runs and nearly as god economy as a similar capacity diesel (hybrid works best at city speeds). I stick to normal mode for motorways and slip into eco when in town or traffic jams. Sport is reserved for when I’m planning a quick overtake as it makes the electric assistance kick in at full force without being full throttle. Im assuming you don’t have a big dog as the boot isn’t all that big given the battery under the back of it and the rear seats.

You can got 3 or 4 weeks fine but beyond that the battery could be in trouble. The big hybrid battery is fine but the 12v battery is smaller capacity in hybrids and therefore can have a tendency to go flat if the car isn't used sooner than in a conventional motor. I haven't seen much of that being an issue with the CT but it has been a problem on some other Toyota hybrids like the Yaris. If the car isn't used for several weeks at a time you might also not be covering much mileage to justify the extra expense of a hybrid if you are looking to buy based on the fuel economy.

Ah that really sucks. Have you double checked the insurance position? I assume you reported this to the police. If the other driver is traced then the MIB should pay out, if they turn out to be uninsured. TBH after you pay for parts, painting and fitting this is probably worth using insurance for. There may well be hidden damage such as to the wiring loom for the fog light and parking sensor. From your pictures it looks like the door might need a smart repair too. If you have a few years NCB and haven't protected it you shouldn't lose all of it with one claim. For example if you have 5 years you might drop to 2 or 3.

Even Cross Climates have their limits

As above I don't know of an independent specialist but there is a dealer just of Newbridge roundabout so easy to get to from the M90. If you are a gold member on here they give a discount on parts and labour.

Wee update on the bulbs. One failed this morning so not impressed. High performance bulbs usually have a shorter lifespan due to running hot but 3 months is pathetic.
