  1. Ours has seen off many of the local dogs.. Not saying he's a heavyweight but ... Would you?
  2. Gravel but no grid for our drive. Great burglar deterrent, first crunch of gravel and the dog let's 'em know who's home!
  3. You can download most handbooks from My Lexus customer portal. https://www.lexus.co.uk/my-lexus/
  4. Congratulations!! We welcomed our 9th grandchild this week .. the 6th granddaughter
  5. Linky .. https://lexusenthusiast.com/2018/09/27/lexus-ux-crossover-to-be-brands-first-full-electric-vehicle/
  6. Looks like the Audi E:tron will have these fitted, available Jan 19
  7. Exterior looks good, interior (still) looks too bling for my tastes ...
  8. Hmm... so your VIN returned a trim part for the hybrid Something you're not telling us????
  9. Interesting to see if the 'F' has a different screen surround from the other RC models
  10. OK, not a 'F' but my trim looks like the lower version in the OP i.e. not like your fitted trim. Mine's a 2016 model, maybe an updated design?
  11. The batteries can be replaced if you fancy a bit of DIY. Britprius did a great thread on the subject here
  12. I've found the hybrid battery can sustain the audio and climate (a/c running) for quite a considerable time, in excess of 1/2hr. before the engine cuts in. In winter it's only 10min or less, depending on ambient temperatures but this is simply heat demand from the engine cooling system All things considered I find the hybrid system is far more tolerant to electrical demands than any non-hybrid I've owned. Damned fine cars
  13. Correct but unless you're in accessory mode (not recommended for any length of time) the 12v battery is constantly recharged via the traction battery, unlike in non-hybrid cars, where one relies on the alternator to recharge the battery, which it only does after supplying any running demand. So running accessories on non-hybrid car can result in depleting the battery charge quite quickly. Something hybrid cars wont suffer from.
  14. I just use the USB charger to keep the phone topped up whilst connected via Bluetooth to the Navy system, giving me live traffic updates. The phone sits in the armrest cubby out of sight.
  15. In my RC I charge the phone from the USB port under the centre armrest.
  16. And very effective they are too! Great knowing that one can't discharge the 12v battery with these functions as they are all powered from the hybrid (traction) battery. 😁
  17. There is s ridge running front to back but it does nothing the channel the water. The small amount that does follow the groove ends up dripping in at the open door hinge area... @Comedian, yes water cascades into the open boot from the top lip of the lid and especially from the top corners! Good job it doesn't rain much in this country .... 🙄
  18. Press the rear demist button on the climate control panel. The door mirror heaters come and go off, with the rear screen heater. Took me a while to figure out as the door mirror heaters were automatic on my Mercedes.
  19. In this rainy weather, or even just a very wet car, I find it impossible to open the door and entering and not get drenched with water running off the roof! Even opening the window results in the interior arm rest (and my arm!) getting wet... Mrs Nemesis was not impressed as she had her second impromptu shower today! 😂
  20. Guessing this could be a security feature, especially if yours has the 'kick to open' function. Anyone could open the hatch when you're stopped at lights etc..
