Missing those days of 20p per litre ...

You got a battery for £40?

This seems a little unusual as if the 12v battery were flat one wouldn't be able to open the car with the remote and there would be no display? Your timescales are a little difficult to follow. Was that 13 months after you bought it i.e. nearly 3yrs ago? Everything was then ok for 2.5yrs and now you're having issues again? As Herbs posts, you need to drive it more or leave it on trickle charge

The full T&Cs are available on their website and linked below. https://d3rvezpmgp265q.cloudfront.net/lexusone/lexgbenv11/LexusRelaxTCs-25.05.21_tcm-3157-2291533.pdf It has been said before there is no paperwork as the warranty is automatically applied to vehicles that fit the criteria, also found on their website.

I imagine that email was simply marketing speak, not that the OP was now within the Relax scheme. Lexus cannot simply swap one over without consent or paperwork completion

No chance IMHO.. You could try this yourself, you have the T&Cs from your extended warranty and the T&Cs for the Relax are linked to on this forum, create your own matrix.. Not that it will mean much as there are many grey areas and 'weasel' words used ( I suspect in both documents) that a true comparison can never be made. It will all come down to how it (the warranty) is interpreted and assessed on individual bases, as much could be done 'in goodwill'..

Almost certainly the a/c drain, it's been very humid recently..

Ditto 👍

Are these figures from the OBC? I once saw 55mpg in my red coupe but when I did the brim-to-brim calculation it was in reality 'only' 48mpg ( I came from a CLS55 which was giving 15-20mpg at best!!). The official consumption figure were wildly optimistic at 57mpg over all routes! I averaged 38mpg over my 3yrs ownership. The blue coupe gives me, currently, an indicated 44mpg, which is in reality 39mpg 'brim-to-brim but much closer to the new official consumption figures of 44mpg. In both cars the difference between urban and town consumption and open road motorway is massive. Around town easily high 40's. Get out on the motorway and A/B roads it drops to low 30's. These self-charging hybrids are just stop/start cars on steroids On the open road it's a 2.5ltr petrol car and heavy at that. To me consumption is irrelevant (but interesting) and does nothing to dampen my enjoyment from the car, it's performance, ride and handling...

Yup, the RC300h is a great car and very misunderstood by some, especially the motoring press. I concur with the looks and it has by received more compliments from friends and total strangers than any other car I've owned 😎 My first, the red 2016, was a real eye opener and the second, the blue 2019, even managed to improve on it in a number of areas. I can't imagine going back to a conventional auto-box, the e-CVT is a remarkable piece of engineering and programming. I hope you get as much enjoyment driving it as I do

I had a windscreen replaced last autumn after a stone cracked the screen directly in my eyeline. My insurer, SAGA, use Nationwide Windscreens and I had to wait 4 weeks before they could source a replacement screen! It's a genuine Lexus screen that had to come from somewhere in Europe. The fitter, a mature chap who had been fitting screens for almost as many years as I've been driving, said Lexus always get OEM screens. He did a great job, was very respectful of my car. Everything worked as it should the ADAS systems were checked and at the time functioned as expected. That all said my auto wipers are now behaving rather erratically and my dealership says there is no malfunctions but recommend the ADAS to be recalibrated. As the car is in for service next month I suggested they do this at the same time. Yes, no problem, that will be £400 and will take 3-4hrs! It's something they cannot do themselves, it requires a huge amount of space to set up the various bits of kit, so they send the car to a local workshop that do nothing but ADAS calibrations. They also told me they do not replace screens themselves either, no dealership does, it's just not efficient or practical, they always get one of the local companies in. Unless the customer is paying they use whichever firm the customer's insurer uses.
