Seems Superguard supply the Lexus branded screenwash concentrate. I could find nothing detailing the mix ratios recommended. http://www.supagardshop.co.uk/screen-wash-300ml/

Pretty sure once the dash displays low fluid level it's one bottle to the reservoir and fill with water?

Only in a time machine John, it was last Saturday,,,,

Never my intention to dictate what someone does or doesn't do to their own car. "Forewarned is forearmed "

Insurance will always payout 3rd party claims, it's the policy holder's claim that may loose out. The insurer may then try and recover any monies from the policy holder.

Very, if you are involved in an accident especially involving injury. Your insurance company may also take a dim view of any undeclared modifications, never mind the (technically) illegal ones... Interesting how one might inform the insurer you have invalidated the car's Construction and Use certificate and made it illegal to use on the road?

Definitely a 300h

My neighbour has just taken delivery of a new Type R. Sounds nice but my word, looks like it's been through the Halfords accessory bin..

Enjoyed every minute of my 3.5hr drive home, through all the little villages one my scenic route back.

One of the new functions is the ability to upload your settings from the Nav system, presumably so one can recover them should one need to replace or reset the unit?

Thanks for a great afternoon, some really classy cars in attendance. Thought I'd throw in some colour to an otherwise quite monochrome line-up Good to put some faces to forum names, not sure how many I will be able to recall .... Roll on the warmer weather and more GTGs

So, if the distance measurement is spot on in the OBC, one must conclude the way the fuel is measured is erroneous? If it's similar to how MB do theirs it will be the duration of injection x flowrate?

Not to store wine but to keep ready for serving. We tend to get a wine delivery every 4-6 weeks, 36-48 bottles mixed red, white and sparkling. The wine rests for a week to recover from shipping then we enjoy! Serving at the correct temperature has always been a bit hit 'n miss and a chore, especially when imbibing more than the one bottle So, looking to purchase a temperature controlled, 2 zone cabinet, to hold approx 50 bots max. We have a location in mind, understair in our hallway. No direct sunlight and relatively cool. Does anyone have experience of these cabinets, a recommendation for a reliable, quiet model?

Never had a problem TBH. The DAB in my Mercedes never dropped a station even in the wilds of Wiltshire. The DAB in the RC seems to be very stable also, been across the south, east to west no issues.

The salt in washing up liquid can kill the washer nozzles as well, causing corrosion eventually blocking them completely..

One of the worst things one can do is to use washer fluid/concentrate from different manufacturers. Often there is an incompatibility and a sludge forms causing various problems, most notably a nasty smell...

But is it the OBC that's in error, or the manual brim to brim method?

1. Wash with a lambs wool mitt rather than a sponge. Rinse well and dry with one or two large drying towels. If you use a good quality wax such as Collinite 915 you should be able to go a good 3months between waxing. Just check how the water beads to see when it needs doing again. 2. Use Wheel Woolies to get into the barrel of the wheels and keep the insides clean. Again a good quality wax will help make cleaning easier. 3. I usually finish the windows with a proprietary glass cleaner, get rid of those annoying smears and water spots. Inside 1. Vacuum seats carefully then wipe down with a damp microfibre cloth, dry with another clean cloth. Every 2-3 months a good clean with a cloth dampened with 5% wool detergent in water. Wipe over with clean cloth dampened with clean water. Dry. 2. Vacuum carpets after removing the over mats. Give the mats a good beating! 3. wipe trim with an interior quick detailer spray applied with a microfibre cloth.

Yes, I would.But as I said fuel consumption is not really on my radar. I do keep records though, have done all my driving life. Any dramatic change could be an indication of some sort of problem. Both my Mercedes had very accurate OBC reading, easily within 1% of my brim to brim calculations. Bottom line is, OBC is an indicator of fuel metered over distance travelled. Brim to brim calculations are at the mercy of dispensing pump accuracy (which will always be pessimistic, you will always get more fuel than the pump displays (Weights and Measures,) and operator consistency. Too many variables to get hung up about the odd % differences I fill it, drive it and enjoy it, especially on such a beautiful day as this

My Service manager said that on the hybrids brakes last a looong time. He recently did a pad and disc change on a local taxi, the first change it's had and the car was on 95k miles...

In reality the difference between 37 and 40 is insignificant, unless of course one were to recompensed on the OBC record and one did very high mileages. Otherwise it's all academic and coming from a car that routinely returned 15mpg I couldn't be happier, not that I do enough miles for fuel consumption to be of any concern.

Which bit of kit would one expect to have the better upscaler? A £200 BluRay player, or a £2.5k Ultra-HD television? Both from the same manufacturer (Sony) and both of the same release date. Personally I would say the BluRay player. There's nothing else in the player that is cutting edge technology, so more could be spent on the 4K scaler chip.
