  1. "Tyre skip" aka "crabbing" is quite common (on cars with wide low profile tyres) especially in the cooler months but this is more a sudden jolt rather than a vibration. When I experienced it for the first time (tight right turn out of my drive, frosty morning) i felt like I'd driven over a brick!
  2. He's in the Netherlands John..

  4. And step, 3 Depress the brake pedal, is simply a safety thing to stop the car moving, rather than the usual electrical signal to release the shift lever?
  5. From the RC300h handbook.. The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to ensure that the shift lever can be shifted. Releasing the shift lock: 1 Set the parking brake. 2 Turn the power switch off. 3 Depress the brake pedal. 4 Pry the cover up with a flathead screwdriver or equivalent tool. To prevent damage to the cover, cover the tip of the screwdriver with a rag. Press the shift lock override button. The shift lever can be shifted while the button is pressed.
  6. My Dealer also said they don't replace windscreens or recalibrate ADAS but they could take the car and organise everything.
  7. I don't recall ever hearing a reversing beep on any CT loaner I've had...
  8. Shame we don't have the same strict jay-walking rules as the Germans.
  9. On the newer models and the full electric versions, it's now a requirement to alert pedestrians. I'm surprised you have it on a 2011. Unless you are speaking of the parking sensor alert as you approach an obstacle?
  10. On a 2011 CT? I had it on a 2021 UXe loan car and i couldn't find how to disable it. Rather annoying on an electric car, late at night or early morning...
  11. I'd imagine gear ratios will be different across the models. Would it not be more feasible to have the gearbox reconditioned/rebuilt?
  12. I imagine if the Lexus development engineers included them they are there for good reason ...
  13. Ok, it's in the USA but some interesting timings https://www.quora.com/How-long-does-it-normally-take-you-to-fill-up-at-a-gas-station-from-the-time-you-drive-onto-their-lot-to-the-time-you-leave
