  1. I think that should be the LC500h? The IS-F is slated to receive the same engine.
  2. Don't they already have a twin turbo V6, in the LC500?
  3. Linked article is talking about the IS not ES? Can't think why Toyota/Lexus would use a competitor's engine when they have a perfectly good V6 of their own?
  4. Have a read here https://www.lexus.co.uk/owners/servicing-and-maintenance/
  5. Setting to "car always moving up the screen" allows one to easily correlate left and right turns/junctions etc. seen on the map to what one sees out the window.
  6. Yes, Lexus have a service plan, have a look on their website, all the details are there..
  7. Use the water drop test to check if leather is sealed/coated. If the droplet is absorbed, unsealed. If the droplet just sits on the surface, sealed/coated. Oil or grease can stain even coated leather. It would be very unusual for automotive leather to be uncoated ....
  8. Mild (wool) soap solution in warm water applied with a damp (not wet) soft cloth will remove most contamination. Very grubby/ingrained dirt might need a little agitation with a soft nail brush. Wipe over with clean damp cloth, job done. Or you can buy the Lexus leather cleaner kit ...
  9. Fitting Hid lamps into halogen light units is an MoT fail and potentially dazzling to other drivers. You could try fitting upgraded halogen lamps from the likes of Phillips or Osram i.e. Nightbreaker +
  10. Tyre pressures ok? The colder weather will cause a drop in pressure
  11. You obviously haven't been on holiday with my good lady, just a stay of a few days will involve a ridiculous amount of luggage! I thought the RC might necessitate a rationalisation in the number of outfits chosen but no, it all went in there. Ok, the car will never challenge an estate for load lugging but it's descriptively capacious! How did the car handle with what must have been quite a weight back there?
  12. I don't believe the CT has the function to display individual pressures, nothing mentioned in the handbook accept the warning lamp.
  13. Amazing isn't it, how roads and junctions one drives every day suddenly become totally unfamiliar? Trying to judge the kerb even when walking isn't easy. Nearly came a cropper a couple of times!!
  14. Bad enough here the road edges have disappeared, still snowing hard too.. I'm going nowhere
  15. Yes, Autoglym suggest it's use to prevent door seals sticking in freezing weather.
  16. It's a limit, not a target.. Just how much time does one 'save'?
  17. Many modern engines can self adjust to make best use, or safest in the case of lower grade fuel. Takes one or two tank fulls but certainly noticed the difference in my AMG. For the small additional cost I always use V-Power, even now in the hybrid.
  18. It creates a talking point, attention grabbing .. I will admit to quite liking the LC in that colour, it's the interior options I have trouble with.
  19. This is the version I use, have done for many years... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gummi-Pflege-Rubber-Stick-100ml/dp/B007TNOQDI/ref=sr_1_5?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1548586331&sr=1-5&keywords=gummi+pflege
  20. I use Gummi-Pflege on the door and boot rubbers, excellent stuff. I'd avoid using silicone as it can attract grit and dirt and it's a bugger to remove should some get somewhere it shouldn't..
  21. “We think we can nip in and pick up some of the underserved bits of the market to give customer s what they want and hopefully make a profit out of it too,” he said ." Yes, right up to the point the claims start rolling in and they realise why the other insurers won't touch them!
