  1. I've always found Michelin tyres to be superb in the wet, even in the cooler months. Tried, briefly, Goodyears on my CLS55 and couldn't keep it straight under power. Michelin were very sure footed. Lasted well also, if one considers 9-11k miles before replacing at 3mm, good 😎
  2. I thought range was determined by multiplying the current MPG by the remaining tank content? The forecast range can change dramatically if you change driving style i.e. go from town driving to motorway, or start flooring it, the range will drop rapidly..
  3. In my RC if I set the base level to my preference when parked up, it's lost when on the move. Conversely set it when moving and it sounds like a Halfords special boombox when parked!! Unless the system can adjust automatically to compensate for ambient noise it's never going to be 'right' to my ears.
  4. Do Lexus dealers match tyre shop prices? Mercedes used to, even online, just not special offers etc.. I always had MB fit new tyres. One of my pet hates/worries is how well and carefully the fitters remove the old balance weights.
  5. According to the website section for the RC (you are looking to change the speakers in the RC-F not an ML?) "An eco-friendly technology initiative, GreenEdge™ improves sonic performance while reducing power consumption, weight, and heat generation." It also states - "Mark Levinson engineers have spent thousands of man-hours collaborating with Lexus engineers to achieve the precise Mark Levinson Sonic Signature for each vehicle. That means determining the optimal system architecture and placing speakers so that each passenger hears the full concert—a three-dimensional orchestra from the front to the back of the car." Clearly if their solution doesn't fit with your ears you should embark on a journey of experimentation. I love auditioning source/pre-amp/power amp/speakers, usually in store first to narrow down the selection, then at home to hear how it interacts with my room. Hours of fun. Shame the number of retailers willing to indulge is rapidly declining ...
  6. Just scroll to the very bottom of the page I linked a above for a list of all Harmon group marques.
  7. The link in mine and [Error]'s post above will detail the exact position and speaker type/size in the RC, just select the car from the links down the page.
  8. If it's similar to the screen in my RC300h it means energy recovered? I think it's every 5kW
  9. Yes, audio is very much a personal thing. That said I'd imagine ML have researched speakers to put together a matched in car system? https://www.marklevinson.com/in-lexus.html I'd be more tempted to add sound deadening to the doors/panels before changing speakers. Give them to best opportunity to reproduce what's being fed to them? I don't have ML in my battery RC and find the sound perfectly adequate for listening to speech/music in a moving tin box... I saved the extra £1k it cost to spec in my car and added it to my home system budget, where I can control the room acoustics . Yes, as said, audio is very much a personal thing.
  10. I imagine it's more a description of the type of paint rather than a positional reference?
  11. Speed camera alert. It's an undocumented function of the sat nav. It cannot be switched off as far as I'm aware.
  12. If headlights are on auto, they go off as soon as you switch off the ignition. If you have them on manual, then as one opens the driver's door the dash will ping at you. At least on my '16 hybrid.
  13. Don't do it too quickly. Allow a couple of seconds between touches and I find it works very consistently, a second flash of the indicators confirming deadlocking.
  14. "Suzannah Harvey It was only replaced 3 years ago- I’ll let you draw your own conclusions... the wind was gusting max 45 at the time."
  15. Found this beauty on their website https://cldc.store/collections/lexus/products/kyosho-samuari-lexus-lc500-resin-scale-1-18-ksr18024r-b-red-color-limited-400pcs
  16. Now, this I really like! What's the chance of obtaining this in the UK?
  17. I doubt it will have any significant effect. "What is oil viscosity and what impact does this have? Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid’s flow. The thicker (high viscosity) of an oil, the slower it will flow. Most oils on the shelves today are "Multigrades", which simply means that the oil falls into two viscosity grades (i.e. 10W-40 etc). In a 10W-40 for example the 10W bit (W = winter) simply means that the oil must have a certain maximum viscosity or flow at low temperature. The lower the "W" number the better the oil's cold temperature performance. The 40 in a 10W-40 simply means that the oil must fall within certain viscosity limits at 100°C. This is a fixed limit and all oils that end in 40 must achieve these limits. Once again the lower the number, the thinner the oil: for example, a 30 oil is thinner than a 40 oil at 100°C." https://www.mobil1.co.uk/learning-centre/car-care/engine-oil-faq.aspx?p=2 Read here for a full explanation https://www.opieoils.co.uk/t-car-motorbike-engine-oil-grades-viscosity-explained.aspx
  18. On my 2016 RC one selects either left or right exterior mirror on the adjustment switch. If neither is selected nothing happens on selecting Reverse Also check that the mirror position when in Reverse has been set, otherwise they won't move! The mirror position when reverse is selected is relative to the 'normal' position.
