    Have you checked the power steering fluid level and belt tension?
  5. NemesisUK
    True. I do wonder why Lexus don't offer this option in the UK though
  6. NemesisUK
    Any option could be retro-fitted but at what cost? That said I can't imagine the heated 'wheel would be that difficult, if it was offered as an option on your model year. New 'wheel, switch, wiring and probably steering column contact spiral. Plus coding the system

    It may but I wouldn't trust the propellant/solvent not to remove the leather coating

    I had the Williams ceramic coating applied prior to me collecting my new RC. 6 months and 5k miles on it still beading well..

    I concur, after nearly 5k miles in my RC over some truly appalling roads, no rattles, buzzes or squeaks.. I do have to make sure the glove box and centre armrest cubby are carefully packed otherwise keys or even papers (yes papers!) can cause aural irritations

    Loved these Actually did own one briefly, swapped it for one of these.. Which was morphed into Fantastic fun, amazing acceleration (for the day) with low ratio diff giving a max speed of only 100mph Probably not good to revisit one's youth, high disappointment potential ...

    Are you using cheap/ebay/chinese replacements? Are the lamps fitting nice and securely, as a loose connection can cause premature failure.

    Seat bolsters are a common weakness on current Mercs. They split and wear terribly and even the nappa leather covers aren't all they should be. Mercedes has lost it's way IMHO, sacrificing build quality and reliability on the alter of sales at any cost. MB's are as common as Ford and Vauxhall nowadays The C63 is an awesome car but not 'special' the AMG label has been so diluted
  16. NemesisUK
    What year is the car? How many miles has the car done?
  17. NemesisUK
    One often hears about "garage queens" being that much less reliable. A car needs to be exercised and serviced regularly

    Using the brakes instead of using engine braking on long downhill descents is one of the biggest differences in driving a hybrid over a 'normal' ICE car

    Not me, not enough money to buy a true classic and not enough time left to see a speculative example mature ...

    In my RC when one selects Sport+ it will set the suspension to it's firmest setting. My understanding is the 'adaptive' part no longer functions. When in Normal and Sport the dampers will constantly adjust to provide the best ride whilst firming the required damper(s) when cornering to maintain a virtually roll-free stance. Very accomplished IMHO and far better than the AMG airmatic in my previous car.

    In the current high temperatures here, I've noticed the car runs much longer on battery power alone than before. I also run the a/c with the S-Flow option enabled but as the handbook says, the system will ignore that setting if cabin temps dictate and as the battery cooling ducts are in the rear of the cabin, it makes sense?
  24. NemesisUK
    Well Japan (Tokyo) has much higher average temperatures than we do here, so I'd guess Lexus would have designed with that in mind? In the recent 'heat-wave' we've experienced here lately I've felt the car has performed much better as a hybrid than during the winter months.
  25. NemesisUK
    Well, when using the paddles to limit the gear range down hill the power meter doesn't go into the regen range. I've found using the brakes is much better, totally against what one would do in a 'normal' car! Being a hybrid means one isn't actually using the pads and discs, not until the speed really drops anyway.
