    Yes, tether either as WiFi or Bluetooth hotspot. The e-store doesn't function yet, if it ever will.

    Tacky.. Doesn't your GS come with a clock?

    Well, you've just described my new car, arriving end of June (hopefully!) Azure Blue F-Sport with red leather and Takumi pack. Will also be getting it ceramic coated (again, current car is coated, works well), apparently Lexus have broken from Williams and now have their own branded product. It's a long wait ....

    Check the stats from http://www.fuelly.com/car/lexus/is300h to see what others get from the same models in real world driving.

    Use the physical key?

    What you see through polarised glasses is the stress patterns in the glass caused by the toughening process. In the old days before windscreens became laminated one just couldn't wear polarised sunglasses when driving!!

    There was a following wind ...

    Glass naturally absorbs UVA and the plastic film between the layers (that creates the laminated screen) absorbs the UVB Side windows do absorb UVA but unless especially coated allow cancer causing UVB through. There is a much higher incidence of freckles and skin cancers on left arms (in the US) and right arms (in the UK)

    Any hire car can hit 60 in under 4sec, it's a well know fact. Closely followed by any rep mobile, then a white van ....

    Those 1196cc Opel Kadetts are damn fast cars
  11. NemesisUK
    And the very next day he did the same thing and got values differing by 0.6sec, all because the wind changed direction...

    Nice picture, do I detect a couple of taxi lights on the roof?

    I think you have completely the wrong idea what the United Nations actually does and stands for... It's certainly nothing to do with setting standards. https://www.un.org/en/sections/what-we-do/

    One would think this and it's the impression I got from various docs. The hybrid voltage goes through the "step down inverter" to charge the battery and also power all the 12v systems. Sitting in the car with all the bells and whistles running would place a massive drain on the 12v battery, only for it to be instantly recharged by the hybrid battery seems a very quick way to kill the 12v battery? Makes more sense to have the 12v trickle charged (to replenish the relatively insignificant start-up drain) and feed to power hungry accessories from the hybrid battery, via the "inverter"?

    Happy to be educated John, just from reading the tech docs for my car I came away with the understanding that the hybrid supplies all electrical power once up and running. Does the car not have an inverter that steps down the traction battery voltage to 12v to run stuff like heated seats etc? (my terminology may not be correct, sorry)
  16. NemesisUK
    Which is what I meant in my clumsy way! I realise there is no starter (or alternator) in a hybrid system. The 12v starts the computers, to get the hybrid system running after which all electrics comes from the hybrid battery, the 12v essential becomes dormant, just being recharged by the hybrid battery
  17. NemesisUK
    Once started the 12v battery does nothing but accept charge from the hybrid battery. So I would have thought the 12v battery would only show a fault at start-up? @Concorde1 do you mean the hybrid battery has no charge or the 12v battery?
  18. NemesisUK
    Drive a hybrid, always in the right gear at the right time
  19. NemesisUK
    Journey length is irrelevant... I have had two under 4yrs old in thee back of my RC 300h, no problems.
  20. NemesisUK
    My word! How'd you manage 24k miles with all that power, push it everywhere? BTW hybrid batteries are very heavy ...
  21. NemesisUK
    Same info in the 8/2014 handbook
  22. NemesisUK
    In just 16k miles my rear tyres are showing wear on the inner edges. Perfectly normal according to the service manager. Geometry checked each service and is spot on. Fronts are wearing evenly across the tread width
  23. NemesisUK
    How's the tyre wear looking?
  24. NemesisUK
    Press Menu-Setup-Vehicle using the Remote Touch or Lexus Display Audio controller ( 9-2. Customizations in the handbook)
  25. NemesisUK
    Indirectly, by knocking the suspension geometry out. You might get tyre cuts by catching an edge though..
