Ventilated seats in my RC work very well. The seat base especially, can induce cramp if left on the max setting too long. Must say though the seat back ventilation is less effective, very dependent on how one sits in the seat.

Any company that facilitates such a modification would have to get you to accept it's "not for road use" as any tampering with emissions control renders the vehicle unroadworthy and would fail the next MoT

I'm sure it's just higher than town speed in reality, otherwise one would be blowing regen ash all over pedestrians and motorists.

Surely the regen cycle won't start if the speeds are below ~70mph? If you are getting huge amounts of smoke whilst sat in traffic that's a different problem perhaps?

It's a real shame Lexus don't do the Clove interior with the Sonic red on either the LC or the RC-F a curious decision...

Keep driving ....

Exactly the same situation with Mercedes, cameras must be realigned and calibrated if the screen is replaced.

@Big Rat Nice one, Paul. 😎 I'm quite a fan of the darker finish on wheels. Certainly find mine hides the dust very well but they also very easy to keep clean. Get yourself some Wheel Woolies 👍

Do Lexus actually fit the screen themselves? Or do they farm it out to the likes of Autoglass?

Just curious really as Autoglass can use genuine Lexus glass, wondered what the difference might be in sourcing and fitting costs.

What would the likes of Autoglass charge?

I would have thought upping the wheel size will reduce roll as there is that little bit less tyre sidewall to flex.

I bought a couple of these, from the States, mainly to protect my Clove leather from my black work clothes but works well at keeping the leather cool. The seat ventilation works really well even with them left on the seats. https://www.amazon.com/Seat-Armour-Protector-Towel-SA100LXST/dp/B07BFR77YS/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1530802325&sr=8-5&keywords=lexus+towel+seat+covers

I've always used this, never had an issue.

Love the colour, the rest is a little extreme for my tastes..

32-bit apps should run without issue on a 64-bit OS as Windows will run a 32-bit emulator, the app doesn't know any different. Worth a try, it's free!

Or you could download from the official Toyota-Tech website. No CD required https://www.toyota-tech.eu/GTS/Wizard/Step5-Software.aspx Or is this not the same thing?

I don't see any mention of a label in the Tester's manual 6.1.6 Coupling mechanisms and towing equipment You must inspect all types of coupling mechanisms and towbars fitted to the rear of a vehicle, including fifth-wheel couplings. You don't need to inspect emergency towing eyes. You must remove tow ball covers to inspect the tow ball. If coupling mechanisms are behind access panels in the bumper, bodywork or removable panel, you must remove them to inspect the coupling mechanism unless tools are needed to do this. When checking coupling mechanisms, you may also need to check inside the luggage compartment and lift loose fitting mats or carpet. You must test retractable towbars in their ‘in-use’ position. However, if you need tools to do this, you don't need to do it. If a tow ball or pin isn't fitted at the time of test – because it's detachable, it's been unbolted or otherwise removed – but the attachment brackets are still in place, the brackets should still be assessed unless they have been deliberately rendered unfit for further use. There might be movement (‘play’) in some detachable tow balls between the receiver socket and the tapered swan neck fitting, with up to 3mm movement measured at the ball end. You must reject the following: pins, jaws or hooks that've worn by more than 25% of their original thickness pin locating holes that've been worn or elongated by more than 25% of their original diameter tow balls that are obviously excessively worn Many ‘bolt-on’ type tow balls have accessory devices between the tow ball and its mounting flange. You should only reject these if their fitment is clearly likely to adversely affect the roadworthiness of the vehicle and its trailer. https://www.mot-testing.service.gov.uk/documents/manuals/class3457/Section-6-Body-Structure-and-Attachments.html#section_6.1.6

Looks very much like it. You now have a hole where the fixing should be, so offer it up and see if it screws in?

Just curious but why do you want the label?

Check the seat runners for obstructions, dirt and general muck.

You need to use a dial gauge to check the run-out. You need to mount the disc on a known true surface though. That said I've never experienced warped discs, ever. I've had vibration on brake application, turned out to be pad material deposited on the disc. A couple of heavy stops from speed sorted it out. I did have issues with a SEAT many years back where the dealer changed the discs due to wear and within a month I had pulsing and vibration on braking. Discs swapped out under warranty. All well for another month or so, then vibration. Again new discs, again same problem. Finally the dealer contacted VW/SEAT technical only to be told the hubs need to changed, if they can't be cleaned up properly. New hubs and discs fitted, no problems over final 5yrs of ownership.

I usually hear the one on my car as soon as I open the driver's door, only last a few seconds. The aircon only comes on when the hybrid system is started.

But the same issue? Well, not exactly the same, just a different part of the fuel system? Seems these models suffer from a poorly installed/designed/material specs fuel system?

The electric compressor for the aircon?
