This document may be of interest? Doc title mentions the hybrid battery but it also covers the auxiliary 12v battery and what to do during prolonged periods of storage/non-use Maintainace of hybrid battery.pdf

I was also thinking this.. I have a 3000mAh power bank (for my phones and camera ) and wondered whether this might also work to 'jump' start the RC300h? It has 2x 3A/5v outputs.

Aye

Granted

Most definitely! It's raining here at the moment, so unless tech has a tent it's not happening today. My insurance company uses Nationwide windscreens and they don't appear to have a fitting centre anywhere close to me so will have to be ' on the driveway'. According to their website they were one of the first companies to provide ADAS calibration, so not sure how that works. When I questioned the lady about this when making the appointment she said they could also send me to my Lexus dealer for the recalibration, at no cost to me. Interesting times ...

I would believe this over some third party 'app'

So, on our trip to Cornwall recently I managed to acquire a very spectacular stone chip on the windscreen, right in my eyeline. I saw the stone arcing toward me and ducked involuntarily! The result a typical deep chip with radiating cracks reminiscent to a bullet strike! I'm only glad the stone hit the screen and not the bonnet or roof, so much cheaper and easier to repair. So, I'm not concerned over OEM or pattern screens or the recalibration of the ADAS camera, that'll all get sorted. My question is over the structural nature of screens in modern cars. My appointment is with a mobile fitter, coming to my home. The car is parked on my gravel driveway. The driveway is flat but not even (if that makes sense?), so will the car's suspension compensate for any irregularities? Or might the new screen be bonded to a slightly twisted shell that may latter cause issues? I'm leaning toward (perhaps hoping?) this being a non-issue but just wondered what others think...

I thought the Enform Remote was only available in North America?

Well done..

Had both my RC300h cars done when new. Very easy to keep clean and always looks very glossy Wheels clean up with just a wipe with a damp cloth, brake dust doesn't adhere at all.

Probably better starting your own thread? Do the handles come painted, Does the £412 include colour matching? Guess you could try a breakers Personally I don't think the price is extortionate ..

Ditto, sun cream in the summer and hand cream in the winter. Oh, and glitter if I chauffeur on a girls night out!!! All comes off with leather cleaner or Meg's interior detailer. I'd try the latter on the vinyl or baby wipes or micellar water (fancy!)

Where are you located?

Have a read of this thread.

Get the dealer to do it! I normally have them changed at service time and my dealership has always done it FOC and has done so out of service also, obviously I buy the blades from them but they are not expensive. Last time I even got 50% off the purchase price!

I had ceramic/glass coating applied to both my new RC300h cars. Definitely makes cleaning much easier and quicker. The car always looks very glossy. Is it worth it? IMHO yes, it's cost wasn't great relative to the total purchase price.

Don't reset the TPMS system, adjust the tyre pressure back up. Tyre pressures drop in cooler weather

I receive these emails on a fairly regular basis and I do respond by taking part in online surveys, some are very brief, some go on for many pages! I declined the discussion forum aspect That all said I don't recall having to create an account and password, although I do have a Lexus Link/My Lexus account, maybe that's why?

But conversely one wouldn't need to trickle charge the 12v in the hybrid, simply put the car into the Ready state for 20-30 mins once a week and let the traction battery recharge the 12v. Should the traction battery charge drop too low the petrol engine will cut in and quickly bring the charge level back up. Personally, for a little used car I'd go for the V8 and permanently attach the CTEK....

After 2 attempts to get my steering sorted, I had to take a technician out with me before Lexus would accept my (brand new) RC steering wheel wasn't horizontal when driving straight. So I know your frustration and also know the calibration procedure is complex and time consuming, which is presumably why service centres are reluctant to launch into it... Do keep us updated on how things go.
