I knew about those cubbyholes but never thought that their official use was for the luggage cover! I kept all sorts of things in there but never in a million years would have thought about putting the cover in there

People with problems usually post to forums in the hope that someone can help them and it would be rare and unusual for someone to post, "Hey, my car's working great". I'm sure that there are many hundreds of cars out there with perfect air suspension but do you really want to take such an expensive risk, especially given that air isn't much different to normal suspension and certainly doesn't provide enough of a difference to justify the extra complexity and cost, not in my personal opinion anyway?

In the words of 'Tim, the Tool Man Taylor' huuuuuuuuuuuuh???

Just had a look and there's more than a dozen RX300s being broken on eBay so yep, I'd say that's your best bet. EDIT: 400h should also fit I think, as they're built on the same body.

I take it you mean a luggage cover? I think the Bay of Fleas is your best bet to be honest.

Only thing I can advise now then is a squirt of WD40, leave for a bit to let it soak in and then use pliers for extra torque when twisting anticlockwise.

Or a GENTLE tap around the bulb holder with a small hammer.

Why bother with all that? How do you think hundreds of thousands of van and truck drivers manage with no rear view mirror? Answer - use your door mirrors. Many years as a telephone engineer and driving my various BT vans have left me more comfortable using door mirrors than anything else.

What Steve says above. There's no way that your car would have Bluetooth active when the ignition is off.

I use Firefox but have never had such a warning. Mind you, I have Adblock Plus installed so maybe that's preventing the fingerprinter from working.

I just used to carry a can of Holt's Tyre Weld for small punctures and anything bigger would be dealt with by the breakdown service. The RX is a big car but the luggage space is surprisingly small* so even a 'space-saver' tyre would take up too much room. *If you keep the luggage cover in place, that is.

I would be very happy to do that for you Matt but I'm afraid that my laptop is currently 90 miles north of me, on loan to my sister in law for a few weeks. If she can get them to me then I'll forward them to you - but don't hold your breath as she's not very tech-savvy

I've never had a diesel car Frederick so no, I've never needed to do it.

This is the one that I use and it works well on a Windows 10 64-bit laptop.

First of all, how do you know these things happened? Secondly, if the 'red line' incident happened on the return to the dealership then the engine wouldn't be cold. Thirdly, braking before a speed camera is a good thing isn't it?

Hi Carl and welcome to the club. Great cars, I'm sure you'll soon get used to it and love it.

No idea from that but come on, we're good but not that good. Is it from the front? Back? Engine bay? With engine running or not? When the car is moving or not? When braking? When accelerating? When coasting? None of the above?

I think quite a few of us (including myself) carry one of these jump start battery packs in the glovebox or boot. That's incorrect - our hybrid systems and 'stop/start' technology are two different things and the standard Yuasa battery would be just fine. Our cars don't have a 'normal' starter motor and if I remember correctly it's MG1, controlled by the hybrid system, that starts the petrol engine. As you already know, our hybrid systems take very little current to boot the computers and get the car to the READY state. As you can see below, my RX450h takes just 15.32A to 'start' the car as opposed to more than 300A that a normal starter motor would draw from the battery. If that Yuasa battery would give about 50,000 starts at more than 300A, imagine how many more it would do at just 15.32A.

That very subject was covered not long ago in this topic so this should help:

So that's 400mA which is way above normal. It's a shame that we'll never know what the fault was but I'm glad it's no longer a headache for you.

I'm assuming that the IS will be the same as the RX in that individual LEDs are not replaceable and are a sealed unit at over £800 each.

You could connect your phone to your laptop via USB and transfer photos across, or you could email from your phone and pick them up on your laptop, then the photos are there for your posts.

It's dead simple Roger, honestly. When you're typing a message like I am now, just at the bottom of this text box is a paper clip icon with the words "Drag files here to attach, or choose files..." Simply click on 'Choose files', which opens a window where you look for the file you want to upload, click on the file, click 'Open' and that's it. The forum software will do the rest and Robert is your mother's brother. For example, just click on the small photo below to view a much larger one. And you can even go further - click on the small one and it opens another window with a larger photo in it. Notice that the cursor has a + sign to it, so click on that and the original size photo will open to show all detail:
