    Really sounds like you don't like/rate Lexus, perhaps you should be looking elsewhere? You are not going to influence their marketing strategies...

    The factory order thing is common to many marques. You want that rare option combo, you can wait 3-6months even if the factory is just over the Channel.. My choice of RC was already on its way from Japan, the ship rounding the tip of India. Had I wanted that sunroof it would have been another 6 weeks for the next sailing. My dealer provided a link so I could track the ship all the way to Bristol, I knew my car was here before they did!

    That's what I was wondering, the engine run signal. Could be interesting, trying to find a pickup point for that signal.

    They're great at soaking cyclists .....

    Does it also disable opening via the exterior button/handle?
  6. NemesisUK
    Why? It even shows the procedure in my owner's handbook, using the dedicated jump-start terminal in the under bonnet fuse box.

    AutoGlass do thousands of these screens every week, so shouldn't be a concern. I had them do my Merc screen with light and wiper sensors, no issues. always better if you can get to a depot, rather than have them come out to you.

    Have you changed washer fluid manufacturer? Some are incompatible with others and nearly always when mixing manufacturers there is a gradual build-up of sludge in the bottle. Eventually some of the sludge gets sucked up by the pump and clogs the workings

    Do you hear the windscreen pump operating? If yes, then probably have blocked nozzles and or supply pipes. Maybe a connector has come adrift, do you see water dripping out anywhere? If you don't hear the pump operating, as you say, perhaps the fuse has blown and/or the pump is US.

    I left the a/c on all the time in my CLS and that did 12mpg around town, turning the a/c made no difference, except to make me rather warm and sticky!!

    There is a disable button on the bottom of the mirror, from my owner's handbook (no idea if it's the same across the range) "Changing automatic anti-glare function mode ON/OFF When the automatic anti-glare function is in ON mode, the indicator illuminates. The function will set to ON mode each time the power switch is turned to ON mode. Pressing the button turns the function to OFF mode. (The indicator also turns off.)"

    Exactly, if Lexus thought there might be profit in it, they would do it. Just as any other company would...
  13. NemesisUK
    But would there need to be a modification to the solenoid opening trigger as the IGN is already live?
  14. NemesisUK
    Yes, there is a light sensor behind the mirror glass and the one you refer to. When the car detects more light striking the mirror glass (must be from the headlamps of the car behind as your car interior is always darker than outside) than detected from the front facing sensor it will dim the interior and exterior mirrors. The function cancels when selecting reverse gear.

    Neat idea, like it.. But sometimes there is a really significant delay between power on and ICE start,. How might it integrate with the stop/start of the ICE once up to temp and supporting the traction motor? Very little time delay to start up
  16. NemesisUK
    Which is why I was asking about the possibility of an 'off-line' electric oil pump. Perhaps as the engine is spun up using the powerful traction motor there is significant oil pressure built up before any loads are applied to the ICE?

    Dealers aren't to blame Lexus dictate market availability ..
  18. NemesisUK
    Agreed, needs at least a tank before effects are felt.
  19. NemesisUK
    Was looking again today and the top of the dash, above the cluster, quite a small area but definitely soft leather, in black but the same texture and feel as the seats and centre console sides
  20. NemesisUK
    Tyre pressures rarely change with tyre make. Pressure is determined by axle weight. It might be prudent to use the higher pressures in the recommended range with very low profile tyres, to stave off snake bite punctures.

    The Mercedes SL is a grand tourer. An example of a smaller car. GT is more to do with drive characteristic i.e. effortlessly covering long distances, which the RC does. Of course this is all subjective. Having masses of power, or at least far more than can be exploited on UK roads, can be very relaxing or in my experience, frustrating. Hence my choice of the 300h over the RC-F Unless one is routinely crossing the Continent, the more modestly powered car is much kinder on one's nerves (and license!).

    Aren't they all imported from Japan?

    " the 2004 BMW 330 also does this, according to the driver’s handbook it makes 231 BHP on 98 octane and 221 BHP on 95. " https://www.petrolprices.com/about-fuel.html That's a significant increase?
  24. NemesisUK
    I'm sure it's perfectly fine but wouldn't your MSport develop more bhp on V-Power? BMW and Mercs are held up as examples of engines that sefl-adjust to take advantage of the better fuel.

    The RC in whatever guise is not and was never meant to be a sports car. It's a Grand Tourer and in my opinion acquits itself very well. Coming from a supercharged 5.4 V8 I can appreciate RC is not a traffic light drag star but cruising the UK's A and B roads it's very credible. Super relaxed at all legal speeds, confident through the twisties and with sufficient mid-range urge to get past those 'Sunday drivers'. Oh, and it looks the dogs danglies
