  1. I'd be more worried about the car still being there and undamaged!
  2. Just remember to back up all your destinations before the dealership updates the firmware and deletes them all ...
  3. Well premium certainly made a positive difference in my AMG and I'm continuing to use it in my RC. Have used nothing but V-Power since purchase. The extra £5 or £6 per tank is insignificant in the scheme of things..
  4. Break shudder could be pad material deposited on the discs. Try a few hard stops from high speed to see if it clears up. Headlamp, check any earth connection for loose or corroded terminals.
  5. My RC has the rev counter as a separate customisable function, fascinating to watch and really quite useful when the transmission is in 'manual' mode
  6. I like it.. Improves vision to the front as well
  7. I don't recognise that part number. I went with the one listed in the quote from the dealership - PZ445-US3350P. The original card was 86271-30A95 Mine is the Premium Nav, yours the MultiMedia?
  8. I updated my 2016 Satnav with a MicroSD from that outlet, after the dealership quoted £600 to supply and install.
  9. So, the damaged area is actually behind the fabric flap that covers the hinged area of the rear seats. Is that flap damaged in any way, any signs of corrosion? If not then the substance must have come from under the rear seat or have been carried on the rear seat, not in the boot?
  10. I used these guys, bought a MicroSD card, much, much cheaper than the dealer quote. Genuine Toyota/Lexus outlet. See if they offer a way for your system? https://www.lexus-mapupdates.eu/Home/Index
  11. Get yourself some litmus papers (Amazon sells it ~£2) and test the areas to see if they are still acidic/caustic. If it is the seat will need stripping and neutralising, or at least stripping of all absorbent materials, before repair Could you post a slightly wider angle shot? It's difficult to orientate exactly where we are looking.
  12. I thought it was EU regs that a car alarm must reset after no longer than 30sec?
  13. So Lexus will not contribute, no goodwill? Pretty sure the seats are very specific to the RC. So only the dealership or perhaps a breakers yard. Might it be possible to retrim the damaged areas? Surely has to be the cheaper option.
  14. Oh and carbon roof, Oh,Oh, and carbon rear spoiler ...😎
  15. Probably because, by law, the speedo must never under-read. So to protect themselves Lexus build-in a good safety margin. Why is it so important the speedo is absolutely accurate?
  16. Sorry to gate-crash, not driving an F but for me it's Normal around town and Sport on the country/open roads. Never use Eco, turns the car into a slug on mogadon ....
  17. The water may have only been 2 feet deep but the forward motion of the car would have created a bow wave that could have possibly reached the intake? Don't think I would have driven though water that deep, certainly not in the RC never mind the hybrid ...
  18. The engine ingested some water through the air intake. As water isn't compressible it would stop the pistons rising and may bend the con rod(s) and/or blow the head gasket. If the engine was revving the sudden stop can damage the transmission as well
  19. I think the 'average speed' approach is the only real way to control speed. The usual spot check cameras just encourage drivers to brake and accelerate. The unwary get caught but the vast majority don't.
  20. Thread title is "Average Speed Cameras"?
  21. I suppose one can go past a camera in an average speed zone at way above the set limit as long as one doesn't arrive at the second camera too early!
  22. So, according to that PPG video Structural Blue isn't a 5 coat finish? And it reinforces the belief that panels cannot be "touched-up", the complete panel has to be resprayed, although they say it can be blended they still sprayed the whole panel with top coat. So my bonnet chip would still require the whole bonnet to be treated?
  23. On other cars I've had with auto-levelling the default in the absence (failure) of height data was extreme low i.e. pointing at the road about 2m in front of the car ... Undrivable.. There was just enough mechanical adjustment to bring them high enough to be usable. Not a comfortable drive home though.
  24. Regulations for private plates are the same as general reg plates, with the addition it (the private plate) cannot make the car appear younger than it's first reg date.
  25. Works well in the RC but then I don't have intelligent lights just plain auto dip. Are the NX lights intelligent, whereby individual LEDs go out to mask the car in front?
