    Except will it start in the morning??
  2. NemesisUK
    My word! They still publish that??

    Must be far more difficult to gain access to the ES inner wheel arch, clearances are much smaller than on the RX and SUVs generally?
  4. NemesisUK
    There must be more to it, as in other factors involved, as I have never experienced this problem. Just lucky perhaps?

    The chilled air is dehumidified, so contains less moisture than ambient air and on a hot day surely any moisture would evaporate rather than condense? In fact driving ambient air into the chilled duct work is likely to do just that, the moisture in the ambient air will condense on the colder ductwork surfaces?

    As the a/c second main function is to dehumidify the incoming air I don't see how switching it off and allowing 'unconditioned' air through the system can dry it any better? I never switch off the a/c and in all the years I've had cars with a/c I have never suffered from foul smells (well, not from the a/c anyway 😉 )

    This is an interesting article regarding the insurance risk surrounding electric cars. There being no way currently to reliably diagnose if a battery has been compromised after even the smallest bump. Plus the requirement to quarantine EVs bringing extra storage costs https://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/net-zero/electric-cars-risk-becoming-uninsurable/

    It's simply 'selling add-ons' and a very normal business practice in many markets. Stick with the scheduled maintenance and a polite "no thank you "

    Keep the a/c on at all times and the seals will keep lubricated and the air ducts won't get bacteria growing in them.

    Hankook tyres have a pretty good reputation, I'm sure they will perform admirably. When I had the RC and looked at winter tyres I was tempted to downsize to 18" rims and the tyres were significantly cheaper. Lexus wheels were ridiculously expensive though and I wasn't keen on 3rd party options. I just didn't drive when we had a couple of days snow!

    Depends if the scrotes can read or not ...

    The link in the OP is to the online brochure but is it for the 2023 model? When I bought my second RC the 2019 facelift, the brochure was wildly inaccurate! When I took possession of the car there were differences from what I was expecting. Lexus CS apologised and offered a number of freebies.

    Ditto, my first Mercedes was treated with Supagard and there was a large kit bag in the boot with all sorts of stuff, one of which was the bird dropping remover. Not sure what the formulation was but it didn't perform any better than warm water! Bottom line is if you don't get to the offending deposit whilst still wet the damage is done and nothing works better than copious amounts of warm water....

    The system is reactive not predictive, so it takes a few wipes before it can assess how heavily the rain is failing. Very fine rain can require a different setting to heavy 'summer' rain. I found the system worked well on both my RCs and on my RX. Better than the system on the Mercs, where no adjustment was possible. Also be aware it is possible to set the wipers to intermittent operation, check the handbook. I think patience is sometimes required for the system to settle down

    On many models it's a customisable feature that needs to be enabled by the dealer. P.S. Does one have to start the engine to close the windows, can one not simply turn to ACC ?

    Whatever someone is prepared to pay for it... Depends on how long you are willing to wait for the 'right' person to come along. RCF are quite rare beasts, so a small market... Try contacting the numerous plate traders on the web, many offer a valuation service

    Yep one doesn't have to twiddle that little lever at the top of the windscreen 😁

    One can temporarily disable the tilt and internal motion sensors, which is all that's needed. The immobilizer will always be set when locking. Check your handbook for the required button, often found in the overhead panel.

    Not so sure, that article was published 17 December 2013. I don't see any evidence of the technology being used today?
  20. NemesisUK
    Whatever you do, don't actually kick the sensor (as suggested in that list), just kick quickly in and out under the bumper. Do the other methods of opening the tailgate work?

    I thought run-flats weren't repairable, full stop? Tyre shops can't determine if the carcass has been damaged due to excess speed or mileage whilst deflated.

    From another forum... Seems the car was identified as a TDV6 (from the reg plate)

    What I find curious about this is the position of the car. It's not parked but seems to have been in the process of coming/going? Also people have obviously tried to extinguish the fire, spent extinguishers standing around the vehicle. Plus just how long did it take for the fire brigade to arrive? Timings from the video and the FB report suggests approx 1hr?

    You could try these folks, yes in Japan but they do drive on the left out there! https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/811306a111

    To be fair my dealer has always been just that but they cannot 'beat the system' as it were!
