  1. Are these classed as busy streets? "Since then, the Council has issued fines to 144 drivers caught racing or revving in Sloane Street and Pont Street."
  2. Apparently already in operation in Chelsea https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1549615/noise-cameras-drivers-fined-loud-vehicles-acoustic-technology-london-exclusive
  3. It's been tested here in the UK as well as far back as 2019 https://www.traffictechnologytoday.com/news/incident-detection/uk-to-trial-new-noise-camera-system-to-combat-excessively-loud-vehicles.html#:~:text=excessively loud vehicles-,UK to trial new 'noise camera' system,to combat excessively loud vehicles&text=The UK Government has commissioned,are breaking legal noise limits Looks like we (the UK) will be introducing them quite soon after the French https://www.eta.co.uk/2022/02/15/paris-switches-on-noise-cameras-to-fine-vehicles-with-loud-exhausts/#:~:text=Noise cameras on British roads,target law-breaking drivers automatically. As you say, shouldn't be a concern for Lexus drivers. Might be interesting how those with muffler deleted exhausts get on....
  4. Sounds like the sensor(s) are contaminated, perhaps dirty or covered by wax/polish?
  5. Look back at some of the most 'sporty' looking cars of the 50's, 60's and 70's what sort of bhp did they produce? The 0-60 time would seem glacial compared even with modern day shopping cars, never mind performance cars! I used to drive a 5.5ltr super-charged V8 4 door, 4 seater luxo-barge (OK a CLS55AMG) with a 0-60 of 4.5sec, fantastic car but totally unusable 90% of the time. I also used to drive a 2.6ltr HSR with a similar 0-60 but back in the 80's one could actually enjoy that performance. I also drove a 998cc Monte Carlo Imp and to be honest that car gave the most driving satisfaction at less than half the performance. The look of a car has little to do with performance or driver satisfaction but a lot to do with 'enjoyment' and 'pride' (if that makes any sense!) My RC has attracted more compliments and comment than any other, far more 'capable', car I've owned. That all said I really do love driving it. Quick blasts round the country roads, long 4-5hrs drives across the country and slow trundles across town. It lends itself to the complete spectrum of journeys, allowing the driver to be as 'involved' as he wishes. Or simply conveyed in absolute comfort and safety. All IMHO obviously..
  6. This is the kit bought from Lexus but branded as Lexus. Obviously Lexus don't make their own stuff and this is exactly the same solutions and cloth and sponge applicator. https://www.supagardshop.co.uk/executive-leather-care-kit/ This is the one from Lexus Thread from a few years back..
  7. Again just a damp microfiber. To get finger marks off interior panels (the wife loves to use moisturiser!) I use Meg's quick interior detailer spray.
  8. Lexus do an Executive Leather cleaning kit, expensive but you'll know it will do the job. It's very good at removing dye transfer to the Seats though. Personally for routine cleaning I simply wipe down with a damp microfiber cloth after gently vacuuming.
  9. i think by 'clear' they mean it has no opaque content but it may be (and in this case is) tinted
  10. Not owned an SUV but did have a people carrier for many years and I used to stand on the tyres to get to the centre of the roof. I was a lot younger then though.....
  11. This is more to do with the camber settings and adjusting tyre pressure will have negligible effect. IIRC this is a characteristic of the model, certainly is on my RC. Have you had the suspension geometry checked?
  12. I guess you have already read the T&Cs https://d3rvezpmgp265q.cloudfront.net/lexusone/lexgbenv11/British-Gas-Wall-Box-Terms-and-Conditions-Final-2022_tcm-3157-2456319.pdf
