Have you checked the atf level?

Any rotational anomaly wheel to wheel, big enough to set off the TPWS (warning system as opposed to the monitoring system) would almost certainly be due to pressure differences, resulting in differences in rotational circumferences. If all the pressures are within spec the system would need to be re-initialised. At least this is how the warning system worked on the Mercedes. Also a big enough (~20%) change in the overall pressures can set the warning off.

MPG will drop significantly in this cold weather. I'd thought Snow mode was used just for setting off, to get going, rather than driving along but if it's restricting revs then the engine would be using less fuel?

Is 33psi the correct pressure? If not correct the pressure and recheck the TMPS If yes, then reset the TPMS system. Instructions should be in your handbook (downloadable from the My Lexus portal, if you don't have one)

I was thinking more something like this?

The same as they do Sonic Red, respray the complete panel ....

The ICE will run far more often now just to keep the fluids warm.

Would a 18" spacesaver for the RC300h fit the RCF? https://www.tyremen.co.uk/wheels/18-lexus-rc-300h-all-space-saver-wheel-tyre-kit-alloy-wheel

or something more warming?

I think it's one of the better sounding cars and perhaps all the better for being that bit 'restrained' ... ( Oh, help, I'm defo getting old.... )

Wasn't exactly pushing hard though?

Never had an issue with my previous cars going through the car wash. Not tried it in my RC (and probably never will ...) Where the door mirrors folded in before the event?

Two hybrids = one V8?

Yes but by using quality coilovers less than just fitting shorter springs.

Great colour combo I'm sure you'll love your time in the driver's seat, even when parked up! Now a year into my RC ownership and am still amused by all the looks the car still gets. Often stopped in car parks and asked about the car. Even the Ol' Bill seem fascinated by it, following me quite regularly (strange how it makes me feel nervous....) Mine's Sonic Red with Clove leather.

According to the CT owner's handbook the factory fitted sensors are only in the corners, so front coverage is as designed, only at the corners. Any position marks on your bumper? It may be you would require a different pattern bumper, depending what's behind those corners?

Vehicle Stability Control - a form of traction control

You could try the guys at Unique Car Sound & Security based in Light.w.a.t.e.r in Surrey. They do retrofits both official and non OEM. I've used them numerous times on my Mercedes, excellent service.

Pretty much the only thing I can hear is the whine from the straight cut gears!

Classic target for a container to the African continent ....

My understanding with keyless go is the car will run normally until the ignition is cycled. Once switched off the engine will not restart but by then the thieves could be 100s of miles away.

A bit of science.. "By the way, science and radio engineering tells us that if you want to make your own Faraday cage, you want to use a highly conductive metal, like copper or aluminum (but not anodized aluminum). If you use a mesh, make sure the holes are smaller than 1/10 the wavelength of the signal. In North America and Japan, car remotes transmit at 315 megahertz, which is a wavelength of about .95 meters, so a mesh with holes smaller than 9.5 centimeters should work. Other countries use key fobs that work at 433.92 MHz, for a wavelength of .69 meters, so holes under 7cm are what you’re looking for. Those are pretty big holes. In our mesh box they were a lot smaller. And the one thing you must do when making a Faraday enclosure for your key is to make sure the box closes. Otherwise, the radio signal will get in, and the relay exploit could still work. Science notwithstanding, our experience tells us your best protection against the relay attack is to line a box with aluminum foil. It’s more reliable, even though a nice mesh box probably works well enough and certainly looks cooler." https://makezine.com/2015/08/14/block-car-door-relay-hack-faraday-cage/ My first box had a neat plastic insert to hold the key but this insert was suspended by the rim of the lower box, so when the box lid cam down there was a rim of plastic visible. This, surprisingly, allowed the signals to get out and the car door could be opened. Next box had a overlapping lid, so when closed there was no gap. Standing next to the car, key in box, didn't allow me to open the door.

More than the number of times per day I look at Mrs NemesisUK ..

Not only a pain but also illegal... What are you comparing it with?
