Theres normally a setting in the Settings menu but being non nav i don,t know how you,d find it on yours.

Nearly 111K.

The state of that car.I seriosly wouldn,t be buying it.Looks like they,ve taken the headunit out for some reason.Quite worrying as you don,t know what else on the car is missing or a problem. There must be much better LHD CT,s around other than that one.

That will cost thousands of pounds to convert to HUD using OEM parts.I very much doubt that the original wiring loom has the plugs for a plug and play system.

Very nice.You,ll love it.They,re cool cars and super comfy.

Also has surround sound.Mine has this and it,s awesome.

It depends when in 2011 your car was registered.I managed to get my in just in time for the original extended warranty.

Yes i spotted that on lexuspartsdirect website.

I,m glad i just got in with the extended warranty for 2 years.10 years and 140K miles.

Non at all there is plenty of clearance.

The Catloc kit comes with 2 stickers for the windows and the fitter will be marking the cat before fitting the Catloc cover.The dealer should then automatically register the car after.I know mine did.

The W30 MR2 used the 1ZZ FED engine 1.8.Much different to the CT 2ZR FXE.

Looks like i,ll have to go this route and remove the Lexus ones for better quality ones.

Yeah 2ZR FXE are chain driven and is modified to Atkinson cycle from the older 2ZR FE engine found in the older Corolla and Auris.Very old school engine but totally reliable and economical Just how i like it. As said its fired up by the electric motor at a higher speed than a starter motor hence its instant start. Even to pull the head off one of these is dead easy to do when you need to do a head gasket (so the Americans think haha) and strip the engine when it throws a rod out the side (yet again US fairytales).

Can,t remember if i,ve read about this somewhere before.Is there any way to cover them or make them look any better as mine have really discoloured and stand out more now i,ve changed the wheels.

I,ve had a 2006 Skoda Octavia 1.9tdi previously for 7 years (since new).It was a great car and the best diesel engine VAG built.Excellent on motorways but also great round town.The only thing that went wrong in those years was the Dual Mass Flywheel (known problem) which was converted to a solid flywheel under warranty.I did 70K with that car getting around 55-60 mpg. My CT is roughly the same mpg but overall using the Fuelly app i,ve had an all time best of 73mpg.Obviously mine is a pre facelift so its zero tax.Silly idea that the exact same car from 2017 on is £140 tax? Overall i prefer the CT for its luxury and so comfortable.As said previously think about future repairs on diesels such as DPF,EGR,DMF.A friend of mine has a 2015 Nissan X Trail 1.6 diesel and its nothing but trouble with constant engine management lights and the DPF which can never complete its regen cycle.Unlike older reliable diesels all the new Gen diesels are just total trouble and a nightmare when they fail,which is often. I,ve had my CT since new (2011) and have never had anything go wrong so far (110K miles).Think wisely before making your choice.

Thanks for the write up and photo,s they,re very useful for anyone wanting to do this job.

Dealer wanted to charge me £450 fitted for this.It,s basically a plug and play set up with a module and internal antenna if reqiured.I,m not too bothered about it as i use my phone for the stations i want.

I just get the blades replaced at it,s service time every year.Not worth all the hassle.The OEM blades are very good.

Also on mine(Arctic White Pearl) a touch up can be noticed if you look close enough).

All good with mine(iphone) but if i add a new number in the phones list it will come up as unknown.It,s probably because it,s not synced to the cars phone list.

I,ve never used it at all.As just said i lightly use the brake for gearbox braking as it,s not making any brake contact to the discs.

No design flaw at all. Who drives with there head against it anyway? I really don,t know how this can cause neck pain 🤷‍♂️

Yeah me too i,m not bothered about the Lexus DAB as i have it all on my phone.

Good result Sled Driver.It pays to keep onto them.
