  1. Relax will be reinstated at the next dealer service after any faults found are corrected, so won't cover your current problems
  2. Pretty sure that's a microphone but nonetheless you have water above the roof lining. If what the above posters have suggested doesn't help get it to the dealer before additional damage to the electrics is done. Does the car have dealer service history? It could (should) be covered under the Relax warranty
  3. The most often mentioned 'tool' for clearing drainage holes/tubes is net curtain wire, flexible but strong enough to shift blockages..
  4. City driving is the worst for tyre wear, lots of junctions, turns, stops and starts...
  5. Safe from theft but not from the damage caused by the attempt, the thieves don't know the plates are fitted. Maybe some eBay window stickers would deter?
  6. I've had this on my RC, an off centre steering wheel from collection. It took quite a few attempts by the dealer to get it sorted and it wasn't until the car went to have the ADAS recalibrated was it spot on. Something about the steering ecu needing resetting?
  7. No, not according to my handbook. Only in D, S or N
  8. I spoke with the manager of one local company who confirmed virtually all screens come from just two manufacturers and are manufacture to the same specs but car manufacturers set very tight quality levels and only a relatively small percentage achieve those and are branded OE. The others are sold as pattern parts and the layman is generally hard pressed to spot the differences. More often than not it is the optical distortion level that fails.
  9. Make sure the car is in the Ready state and all electrical power will come from the hybrid battery. My neighbour uses an electric pump and it takes an absolute age to correct the pressures. I use a foot pump, job done in minutes.
  10. More correctly termed 'head restraint' as they are primarily a safety item. That said the above seems a nice solution for passengers who can rest their heads and take a snooze on the move!
  11. Just because it's Auto Windscreens doesn't mean it won't be a genuine Lexus branded screen. When I had the screen replaced in my RC it had to come from the Lexus.eu as there were no pattern screens in the UK. Took a couple of weeks to arrive..
  12. Was the knocking heard before the service?
  13. @Harry Wright Surely that should be a smiling face? One is far better served with chargers on the Continent than we are here!
  14. Oil starvation, when was it last serviced?
  15. An acquaintance recently drove his EV through France to Switzerland and commented there were many charging stations throughout the journey all were working and plenty of spaces available. These were high speed chargers. Coming back to the UK was like driving back 5yrs in time! The Continent appears to be much better organised/supplied with EV charging facilities
  16. Or simply used a strip of green electrical tape?
  17. Hard copies are not supplied by default and I'm not sure they are available at all for current models. The pdf is so much easier to search through (CTRL+F) than the paper versions..
  18. The 'heated windscreen' will be limited to just the area where the wipers park. It's just to release the wiper in freezing weather You could download the owner's handbook for your car from the Lexus website, start to become familiar with it's operation.
  19. It's all shown in the owner handbook
  20. Agree with the above post but you may find it on the pages linked below... https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/lexus/is300h/3-sedan-left-xe30-2016-r-3951/body-and-interior-3/package-tray-panel-luggage-compartment-mat-221
  21. I currently have an RZ on loan whilst my RX is being serviced. I was surprised how much smaller the RZ feels. The interior is very plush and seems well put together. The seats are cloth and remind me of when leather was only used on the chauffeur's seat and the rear seats were plush velour, very soft and comfortable. I'm impressed with the comfort of the seat, it fits my body shape well. There is a little less side support compared with the RX F-Sport but, yes, I like them. The driving position is good with excellent visibility. The 360 camera view is as good as the RX with added guide lines and views. The cabin is very quiet but does have a low frequency 'drone' not experienced in the RX. It's very muted but definitely there at all speeds. Acceleration is smooth and progressive but I'm not sure about the brake 'feel' not sure if it's something that can be adjusted regarding the regenerative settings but it's not as experienced in the RX. I like the pano roof and the fact it's completely clear when not dimmed, not smoked like others. When dimmed it's still nice and light in the cabin due to the milky dim colour. The ML sound system sounds good. ETA Just collected my RX with my good lady in tow. Her first comment on getting in the RZ was looks very nice but the materials used feel 'cheap' and some of the plastic used has exposed/rough edges. She liked the seats and the general layout. We travelled to the dealership via the motorway and I was impressed with the acceleration, very brisk and silent! Getting back into the RX we were immediately struck by the 'classy' feel to the interior surfaces, much more solid. Must admit I also prefer the solid feeling leather steering wheel cover in the RX as opposed to the 'hollow'(?) feeling cover on the RZ wheel We also noticed far more wind noise on the motorway journey home and generally more cabin noise, not surprising perhaps as the car would be using the ICE at those speeds. Also noted was the greater thump and bump over uneven surfaces, The RZ was more controlled and quiet but that could be because that was a Takumi grade whereas my RX is the F-Sport.
