    Pros, stiffer, better steering response, better control of suspension angles Cons, stiffer, more noise and vibration transferred to cabin. Are you planning to track the car, or just normal road use? If the latter, I'd stick with stock bushes

    Dash display will dim as the ambient light level drops. All the electrical power will be delivered from the traction battery, once in the Ready state. The 12v only supplies power in accessory mode or to the easy access system and start-up computers until the hybrid system is running.
  3. NemesisUK
    It would make no difference whatsoever.
  4. NemesisUK
    I'd have thought it would take a bit further than 50mls for the engine ecu to adapt to the new fuel. I certain found the Shell V-Power made a difference to my AMG and I have run nothing but V-Power in my RC from new.

    Sorry, hard to orientate with the closeup photos. But there wasn't any signs of residue on or around the 12v battery?
  6. NemesisUK
    The kickdown switch ...
  7. NemesisUK
    I still can't see how acid from the 12v battery could get all the way over to that side, without causing damage elsewhere?
  8. NemesisUK
    No mine's a 2016 RC. The option is detailed in the separate NAV handbook
  9. NemesisUK
    You should be able to download a manual from the My Lexus online portal? My NAV handbook details how to backup and restore memory points.

    Sorry, just to be clear in my understanding. When you say 'vent' do you mean vapours from the traction battery exit there? My understanding is that the traction battery is sealed wrt the electrolyte. That vent in the picture is where the cooling fan (for the traction battery) draws cooling air from the the cabin, to regulate the traction battery temps. According to Lexus tech docs there is no free fluid in the traction battery. The electrolyte is absorbed into the cell plates. Even in a collision that splits the battery module, no liquid will leak.

    I didn't know the traction battery vented there. I thought it was only the battery cooling fan air inlet? Also the traction battery is caustic, not acidic.
  12. NemesisUK
    Yup, checked mine also. Nothing untoward ... As Rabbers says can you think of anything carried that may have leaked? Even something you believe quite innocuous?
  13. NemesisUK
    Is there any chance some one may have carried a spare battery in the boot? Or, perhaps something like drain clear liquid?
  14. NemesisUK
    Premium Nav system in my 2016 RC allows one to backup memory points to a USB. Retrograde step if one cannot do so in the LC, surely?

    @Big Rat Plenty of room on the couch, popcorn welcomed, prefer sweet to salted 😉

    I think the term "worn close to the legal limit/worn on edge" is an, either/or/and, statement. 3mm is close to the legal limit if one considers new they would have been 8mm?
  18. NemesisUK
    Thinking again, as this was an EU media release, it probably only means the rest of Europe, where the 200T is still listed.
  19. NemesisUK
    Got the 'corn early this time ...
  20. NemesisUK
    Quite liking the new bumper treatment.. I see they are bringing back the 200T variant? "Throttle response from the turbocharged 2.0-litre engine has been improved to deliver a more direct feeling of acceleration and a more spirited driving experience."
  21. NemesisUK
    There's millions of unclaimed government grant for the installation of charging infrastructure ... something like only 3 councils have applied ...
  22. NemesisUK
    SEAT.... then Mercedes..
  23. NemesisUK
    Emissions are far better and easily controlled in a centralised generation location, than scattered across the map. The actions/mileage of the driver of a ZEV has no impact on global warming..
  24. NemesisUK
    Agreed ... ZEV can be included in ULEV (a measurable level of toxic emissions) but not all ULEV (by Gov. definitions) can be included in ZEV. (no measurable toxic emissions) So, ZEV can only be fuel cell or battery powered (or possibly thorium cell?? 😉)
  25. NemesisUK
    ULEV must still burn fossil fuel surely, to be able to measure some level of emission? ZEV, by definition emit nothing, so could only be fuel cell or battery powered
