  1. Four wheel geometry check is part of the annual service (at least at my dealership, others have other experiences), so if yours has the facility or usually farm it out, I'd have them check it out. They know the cars best?
  2. During shipping up to PDS the main fuse is removed so there will be no drain whatsoever on the 12 volt battery from the PDS documentation. "The D/C CUT FUSE has been removed at the assembly plant to reduce parasitic current draw in transit and storage"
  3. I believe the RHD versions will continue to be made in the Kyushu plant in Japan and starting 4th quarter this year, the LHD (mainly North American market sales) in the Cambridge plant in Ontario
  4. You would be well advised to follow Herbie's link above to get the owner's handbook, along with the Nav handbook. Meanwhile if your UX250 is anything like to UX300e I recently drove, the audio controls are in the centre console at the 'nose' of the arm rest, next to the touch pad. The On/Off is a push on the Volume adjuster...
  5. Previous owner had it debadged, not that uncommon..
  6. I very much doubt the subject is ever raised by any prospective buyer, so the saleperson will be completely ignorant on the subject. Now what really worried me this afternoon, as I collected my car from the dealership after being serviced and I returned the UX300e courtesy car, commenting If that was AWD I'd be very interested. The service manager said but it is AWD! Really I said are you sure? Erm.... let me check. He asked a passing salesman, yes, I think it is...but... He reaches for the sales brochure and furiously searched through it... The service manager disappears into the sales principles office and I hear .. " The UX300e is AWD isn't it?" The answer was quite brusque and clearly shocking "NO! FWD only!!" Now I don't expect a service manager to know every in and out of every model but, seriously, something that fundamental???
  7. Aren't windscreens now a structural part of the car, being bonded in place adding rigidity to the shell? That being the case any screen must be of sufficient strength/thickness and comply with type approval. Where pattern parts may differ from OEM is in tint shade and optical clarity. Speaking with the manager of our local Autoglass depot and most recently the mature chap who fitted my RC screen, 'pattern' or non-OEM screens are in 99% of cases, simply OEM screens that do not quite meet OEM specs. Very often the non OEM labelled screens are just that, genuine screens not labelled as such. Sold at cheaper cost, to keep insurance costs down.
  8. I had the screen replaced on my RC, also through SAGA. It took 3 weeks before a genuine Lexus screen could be sourced from Europe. Was the Legend built in the UK back then?
