  1. Woohoo! Got my pass stamped, so will see you all on the 21st
  2. Just down the road from me, thanks for the invite. I'll check with my social secretary. What time? I'm away the previous w/e at a Mercedes meet down south, so can't commit as my calendar might suddenly get filled.....
  3. But only to those in the know. Joe Public think it's a very powerful and fast car, certainly from the comments I've had with my Sonic Red RC300h. Even my (very fast and powerful) AMG didn't attract as many admiring glances and comments. Even the Boys in Blue are paying me far too much attention, never had this with any previous car.... Loving it
  4. On mine it's tucked away in the under-dash panel, just above the pedals... One has to get right down in the footwell to see it..
  5. A great explanation of how the Atkinson cycle works, something else I was unaware of until I came to a hybrid car... Here's a more "scientific" explanation ...
  6. This guy has shed light on how the whole E-CVT transmission works for me. At last I can visualise the system and have a feeling of what's going on when I press the Go pedal. Probably been shown/discussed before but it works for me, so thought I'd share And this video explains the evolution and rationale behind it's development.
  7. Not a problem if one observes the limits ...
  8. That's not fast ..... CLS55AMG ...
  9. How many marques offer models with the option of FWD or RWD?
  10. Aren't IS-F wheels corner specific?
  11. What model, variant and year are we talking about?
  12. Tyres don't wear 2" .... Also Lexus wouldn't sell a car with a tyre size that rubs (when reversing) when new. Is the tyres size as given in the handbook?
  13. As I already suggested above, loose arch liner but the question is why has it become loose/warped since new tyres fitted? Something the fitter did? Can't imagine what... Second thought, do you have staggered wheel set up? Wider rims on the rear? Still puzzling why it only does it when reversing
  14. Lucky the local plod didn't spot the unattended car with it's engine running...
  15. Once the odour has been eliminated, always run the a/c, never switch it off. The dehumidification of the incoming air will help prevent bacteria growing
  16. Second the dealer suggestion. Also what about Halfords?
  17. Surely the lip is where the pads don't contact the disc? I don't see how the lip would cause squeal. All discs form a lip as they wear. A contaminated disc could and changing them just removed the contaminant?
  18. So, use bluetooth and your phone's GSM connection to rule out that possibility. ... If you're connecting ok to the car, the problem seems to be with your portal connection from the car. So that would point toward the credentials you've entered into the set-up in the sat-nav. Have you cleared all your logon details saved in the sat-nav and re entered your portal ID (not your Portal log in) and your password?
  19. As I understand it the adaptive part is just how stiff the dampers are, switching to Sport+ just changes the valve setting in the damper. The ride height doesn't change. Check out the tuning firms in the States and Japan, there are a number that do lowering springs. Just make sure they specifically state for the hybrid because of the extra weight.
  20. Only when reversing? Could it be a loose arch liner?
  21. No secret, all the customisations are listed in the back of the handbook.
  22. Clean cars always drive better, faster, smooooother
  23. My thoughts are one should always match dampers with springs. If you fit shorter springs you really should dampers with shorter travel. I'd never fit second hand dampers..
  24. Goes very nicely with the red on my car
