    This I think sums it up very well and by default are giving out the corporate spiel to cover their backs. This must be what prompts the line in the email regarding "external influences" affecting the integrity can I phone a friend? Definitely agree but perhaps Lexus are not highlighting this because they believe it's not an issue in normal use? No, neither would I I'd hazard a guess that they know nothing about it at the dealership level but I doubt the cars are exposed long enough to cause significant degradation? I look forward to reading Lexus' response to your second email

    I've always wanted "Go Faster" roof stripes..

    I'd like to join in but fear I wouldn't be able to keep up... Perhaps best I meet you there.

    What is written in the email and trust in the engineering integrity of a global marque. Aren't there many examples of exposed CF being used structurally?

    If it weren't for the random brick colours, I'd have thought it a monochrome photograph

    Don't you mean the van is used to steal the show?

    Metal panels last the lifetime of the vehicle, unless external influences such as stone chips are apparent? I think the email answers your concerns By weather ability I believe they mean the coating also includes a protectant against UV damage but not something that can prevent fading. Something that also affects traditional paint coatings on steel panels. And no, I don't know the mechanism of fading but equally I would have no qualms regarding the durability of the CF structural integrity

    Surely this statement answers the questions?

    Doe you need to use/do anything special because of the seal-healing top coat on these cars?

    Just the once. I set mine up to connect automatically each time it detects my phone. Obviously the phone needs to have hotspot enabled. Works a treat much better than the old TMS system in the Mercedes.
  11. NemesisUK
    Perhaps they are hoping to change that?

    I thought DRLs were only supposed to come on when the engine (or hybrid system) is running? If the DRLs are also position lights then they would come on as Colin posts above

    Get Vmax above 170mph and the standard gatso wouldn't catch you either

    True but by far the biggest market for Lexus is USA

    Yup, you're wasted, sorry, your literary talents, are wasted Mrs Nemesis would never peruse these fora, I can see her eyes glaze over at the mere mention of cars....

    That's a shame as The Driftwood have just reduced their tariff for the autumn season...

    I do this every time I go home, long steep downhill recharges the traction battery ready for a silent departure next day

    6 Months doesn't seem particularly good? I reckon I got similar on my previous wheels by simply using the Collinite 915 I used on the paintwork. I used to top up with Meg's Last Touch at each washing.

    Must admit to being very impressed with the Williams Ceramic coating on my wheels. What little brake dust settles just rinses off. I clean the wheel each time I clean the car and use Wheel Woolies to get right to the back of the inner surface.

    Williams Ceramic coating is a product offered by Lexus and applied at purchase, carries a lifetime warranty. Creates a surface very easy to keep clean, nothing seems to stick to it, including brake dust.

    I've never driven a car that produces so little brake dust as my RC300h does. Hybrid or pad material, I don't know but the Williams ceramic coating repels what little dust does settle on the rims. 👍

    Have a look here first, put in your current map version and make sure you get the most up to date part number. I noticed a couple of 3rd party websites were selling superseded versions as the new version..

    Us retired types also look forward to Friday lunchtime.... Well, any day lunchtime really, Actually, any time really is wine/beer o'clock

    For gentle to moderate braking the hybrid will use MG1 as a generator to retard forward motion. The mechanical brakes, i.e. discs and pads will come into use with more severe braking and once down to much lower speeds (I think it's approx 5-10mph?) Using gentle braking whilst descending a hill in a hybrid will recharge the batteries. In a normal car one would usually use the gears to invoke engine braking to help prevent brake fade.

    Not on an IS but I always use the foot brake on my RC300h, doesn't use the discs and pads and gives much better regen results. Using the paddles brings in the ICE to provide the braking force
