That's an awful lot of coats sprayed there. I wonder what the cost is to prep and spray a car front? Compared with PastiDip?

It'll keep driving normally until you switch off, then obviously it won't restart.

The handbook states you have Bi-xenon headlamps, so a single bulb provides both high and low beam, with the metal shutter in place, low beam. What it doesn't show is any other headlamp type, so would guess you have only the one headlamp bulb, very unusual these days.. Unless there is a light emitter within that grooved area to the inside of the projector headlamp. Have you ever looked at the units when they are on? With dipped only and then with main + dipped?

What does the handbook list as bulb replacements?

See thread below, I didn't get it treated and some far, haven't collected anymore.

I'm guessing you have xenon headlamps? In which case there will be a little metal shield that drops across the lamp to give the dipped beam cutoff. A picture of the light fitting might help?

I have Clove leather interior and I use the kit supplied by Lexus to clean it, whenever it starts to look a little grubby. Being a light cream/sand colour it doesn't take much getting in and out with denim on to give the bolsters a slight blue tinge. The cleaner in the kit removes every trace very easily and the conditioner leaves the seats soft and as they left the factory. I'm pretty sure the solution in the kit is simply a gentle 'woolite' type detergent. Smells similar. Not sure what the conditioner is but it's very thin and applied using what I would call a paint pad! A soft cloth is used to buff off the conditioner after a couple of minutes.

I'd likely drag myself along to this, even though I drive a lowly F-Sport and battery version at that!! To compound my sins, I'll admit to not really liking the LFA, except for the glorious exhaust song, the rest doesn't grab me. Now, the LC, that's a different kettle of fish

I use the Executive Leather care kit that came with the car (Lexus sell separately also). Very quick and simple, leaves the seats as factory, easily removes dye transfer and general grim, all very noticeable on my Clove leather! Thankfully I use easy-on seat covers for when I'm in work/scruffy clothes, certainly saves a lot of cleaning...

On the Premium system in my 2016 RC there is a separate fan default speed one can set (slow/med/fast) that the Auto mode uses. Mine's set at med, that said the system still ramps it up to fast when demisting but generally it's relatively gentle/quiet.

Sounds normal. Hot air rises, so would be pumped in low level to heat from floor up. Unless one selects Demist then directed at screen and side windows. Cold air more beneficial directed at face level and will sink to cool cabin.

Best of luck with this. I seem to recall a long saga a while back when someone else had issues with the amplifier/audio head unit. These are horrendously expensive and, IIRC, the dealership tried 'borrowing' a unit from another car in stock. I'd imagine a new one would take a while to become available?

Could it be the stalk switches are at fault?

Agreed There must be some reason not to include that and the TPWS reset in the cluster menu? Surely easier to enable an option in the coding rather than have to add wiring and buttons?

Like the tyre pressure warning reset button, not something one needs to access frequently, so keeps the dash/cluster area clean a clear..

Don't think one can get the Clove leather in the red 'F'?

Many happy returns Paul, have good one 👍

Congratulations, great car You going to retire now in the hope of having the time to keep it clean??

Check the supply pipe in the hatch hinge area

Might be interesting? For the IS but may be adaptable? http://oemaudioplus.com/lexus/3is/

Shanks's pony or push bike?

Is any car correct for a 2 mile commute?

Sounds like there's a problem with the headlamp unit itself, possibly the ballast and /or igniter. Might possibly be a deteriorating earth connection, check connectors and chassis earth leads.

My first thought would be tyres?
