  1. Either will excel at that. The RX, with the bigger power unit may be more relaxing to drive but the down side would be fewer miles per gallon. The RX will also be able to carry more luggage, depending on how many passengers there may be. My personal choice from the two models would be the RX but clearly I have chosen the RC300 as this best suits my requirements. As in any decision on car purchasing, test drive, test drive again and test drive as long as the vendor will allow.
  2. What is the main use you will put the car to? The GS and RX are quite different models. Best is a very subjective and without context or criteria difficult advise
  3. This is for my RC300h but I would imagine it's the same for other Lexus hybrids. HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL CONVERTER.pdf HYBRID CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROL INVERTER.pdf CHARGING SYSTEM SYSTEM DIAGRAM.pdf
  4. It certainly is possible! The recalibration of the steering angle and torque sensor zero position is quite involved and must be carried out in the correct sequence. I'd suggest taking the car to a different dealer and ask them to reset the power steering system?
  5. I always understood this was due to the camber of the road? If one drives on the right, on UK roads, the car will drift right and obviously drift left when driving normally on the left. Try it on a large flat surface such as a car park? The car should track straight. The steering wheel as said, should always be horizontal when driving straight. If not and tracking adjustments have been done it is usually because any adjustment has been done more on one side, instead of equally side to side (which takes more time to get correct)
  6. If you read my post, it says the traction battery supplies power to everything, once the car is in the Ready state. The 12v battery only supplies power to the entry system, including the welcome lighting and to bring the car to the Ready state.
  7. I believe only via Techstream and then only by changing the market area coding?
  8. Is that strictly correct? My understanding is that the 12v battery powers the entry system and the the start-up computers. Once in the Ready state the traction battery powers everything directly, via the converter (?) and also recharges the 12v?
  9. Useful info as owner's rarely read their handbook...
  10. Unfortunately not available in the UK ☹️
  11. Can one not use the sport setting on the transmission and manually select a lower/lowest gear in preparation for the swift manoeuvre? It's what I do if "making progress" in traffic, for the quick overtake.

  13. Is it in valet mode? Has the setup been changed inadvertently, I believe one can customise how the entry system works? Check in your handbook.
  14. There may be much more information on the American forums?
  15. Just keep in mind that modifying the emission control systems in any way technically renders the car illegal on UK roads, with knock on consequences for ones insurance should the unfortunate happen and the insurance company takes a closer interest in the car.
  16. I had my CLS55 permanently on charge with the CTEK living in the boot and the mains cable trailing out through the boot seal. To connect to the mains I had a 20m extension cable fitted with a weatherproof 13amp socket, the CTEK plugged in and the socket dangled just off the ground behind the car. All through the foulest of weathers, no issues at all, just a fully charged battery and a happy car.
  17. I've purchased many times from overseas and have never had an issue tracking my parcels.
  18. My experience has always been the selling company sends the tracking number.
  19. Hysterical
  20. Colonialism
  21. Supremacist
