Ditto.. It's never been an issue for me either

I thought run-flats weren't repairable, or at least most tyre shops won't do it as they don't know how the tyre was driven after the puncture? Obviously run-flats are designed to be driven when flat but this can cause immense stresses on the carcass. The design theory of the run-flat is to get you to safety/home/tyre shop.. not to be reused.

Very common, I would say typical, of hybrids as the brakes get little physical use due to regenerative braking. My first RC300h was quite bad in is stop/start traffic but with careful modulation I could minimise the noise. My second RC the facelift version has two piece front discs and the noise is very much reduced, still there but reduced. It's just something one has to live with IMHO it's hardly that dramatic but we are all different in our tolerance levels..

If it ain't broke don't fix it ...

Vacuum the grit and dust off then a wipe down with a damp cloth

Something trapped in the hinge?

I've used it, not for this particular application but in general swirl removal prior to using Meg's Ultimate Polish then Ultimate Wax. T o very good effect. Meg's own website cites it's use for removing bird lime etching.. "Our new abrasive technology quickly removes stubborn oxidation, stains, bird dropping blemishes and other sub-surface defects while polishing the surface to a mirror finish. Unlike traditional rubbing and polishing compounds that scour the surface, our new clear coat safe micro-abrasives produce an amazingly clear finish that is free from scratches, hazing and swirls. Whether working by hand or with our DA polisher, Ultimate Compound is the perfect choice to prepare your paint’s surface for your favourite Meguiar’s wax." https://www.meguiars.co.uk/shop/ultimate-compound

No idea about the CT but it's a chain on my RC300h That said a quick Google would suggest the CT also uses a chain

If it truly isn't holding a charge the replace it.

I imagine a good quality (i.e. relatively thick) wrap would protect from chips but dings? I doubt it. I don't know how well wraps tolerate UV and the elements, could be they fade in which case a repaired section might well should?

Starts the car as in powers the entry system and boots the computers correct but the engine is spun-up and started using one of the electric motors (MG1?) powered by the traction (HV) battery.

Of course they said yes, they want to keep your money, not refund it. It's irrelevant, in your case, if it's true or not as I guess, you won't be changing your cover, so will not be comparing what you might have received if you have to make a claim,

I think I've read that in every warranty I've researched, not at all uncommon. Simply means the dealership retains the 'faulty' part, possibly to send for testing, research into failure mode

Not according tot the official Lexus Relax blurb, as here "Eligible vehicles range from cars just completing the period of their new vehicle warranty, to high-mileage models that have passed through multiple ownerships and have no prior Toyota or Lexus service history."
