  1. It's because they dim, they contain a photochromic layer. Must admit to not noticing a distinct band before, just a general blue hue across all but the very edges of the mirrors.
  2. I've found that SMS messaging won't work if the phone is acting as a hotspot or is tethered to the NAV system providing live weather/parking/fuel prices etc..
  3. The fashion for wide, ultra low profile tyres doesn't help the situation.
  4. I have used D:class in Cobham, they did a complete interior retrim in Nappa leather on my Mercedes. They can source original spec leathers. Excellent service and first class workmanship https://www.dclass.co.uk/
  5. Any decent retrim shop should be able to replace the split panels with identical leather for significantly less than those quotes. Many such slits can be repaired in situ, virtually invisibly. Your location may be the biggest hurdle though...
  6. My RC does it during the colder days. Many marques do it, including Mercedes and Porsche....
  7. The website does state car parking is free https://www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/plan-your-visit/faqs
  8. Ditto.. My car is getting seriously grubby even on the shortest of trips! I am really amazed at how the front wheel fling up so much muck on to the sides, equally bad on the rear. My dealer has said there is no plans to provide mud flaps for the 2019 model. I still can't see why the flaps from a pre-fcelift can't be fitted to the fronts at least but no, dealer says they will not fit.
  9. Owner's and Infotainment manuals are now online download PDFs Register with the My Lexus website and you can access the manuals and also see the complete service history for the car Manuals can be access separately if you wish simply click on the icon top right of the home webpage https://www.lexus.co.uk/
  10. Similar advice to that from Mercedes, replace singularly below 80km, unless there is obvious faults/failure both sides.
  11. So, 0.3 mile is 0.5 km (pedant mode would be 0.48 km!! ), I got my units wrong!
  12. Strange that such a new car has this missing Sure I read here that quite a few had fuse covers missing, something to do with accessories fitted and piggyback fuses meaning the cover wouldn't fit? Do you have a dashcam hard wired in?
  13. In my calendar. Great venue, been many times
  14. Anything on the US Lexus forums? They seem quite handy with the mods.
  15. I think a number of those voice commands are only recognised if the multimedia system is on the correct screen for that command. Some are 'universal' some very app specific. It's not in the least intuitive, very in keeping with the Lexus multimedia system in general ...
  16. How does your insurance company view this type of modification?
  17. It can also ruin the CATs The engine light is on, would suggest something's amiss?
  18. How about using Voice commands?
  19. Just did a test on my RC seat heaters.. Got in and started the car (hybrid system On), switched both seat heaters on, got out as if to clear windows etc.. Left it running for ~4min. Got back in and noticed my drivers seat was warm. I placed my hand on the passenger seat and it felt cool. Got out and went round and sat in the passenger seat. The seat felt warm under my backside.. Went for a short drive. Felt the passenger seat with my hand and it felt warm toward the back of the seat, cooler nearer the front. (Incidentally found out if one gets out of the car and tries to open the passenger door it will still be locked, even though carrying the smart key.. Logical but confused me briefly ) Just read through the Lexus-tech docs regarding seat heater function and there is no mention of a seat occupancy sensor (other than the seat belt buckle fastened/unfastened) but did discover that the seat has a set temp area (under one's buttocks) and variable temp areas (under one's thighs and shoulder/back area. These are controlled by the A/C amplifier and changes in response from the seat temp sensor and cabin air temp. So, it appears the RC will heat the seats whether they are occupied or not
  20. Broken wires in the loom where it goes from the car body to the boot lid?
  21. Ooh, Matron!
  22. No price quoted as they have yet to be announced. As the 250ml bottle of concentrate only costs £1.48 I have a feeling the tablet(s) will be similar price. He wasn't clear on whether they would be individual or multi-packs. He did show me a single tablet pack, bit like a spectacle lens wipe sachet. The tablet was dark blue and quite granular, perhaps more the size of and extra strong mint but obviously small enough to fit down the opening of the wash bottle. These tabs look similar and obviously Lexus won't be making them, just repackaging ...
  23. Popped into my dealership and had them look it over. Nothing of concern, keep an eye on wear but suggested just as I'd thought, a stone trapped at some point. On a side note, I was speaking with the parts guy as i purchased some screen concentrate, he showed me what Lexus is moving over to instead of fluid concentrate. A small tablet, a bit bigger than a Polo, to treat 5ltr down to -5C. Should see us through a normal UK winter. All to save the planet, apparently. More eco friendly, less plastic packaging etc., etc.
  24. Yes, the scoring is significant, easily felt, the lower groove particularly
