  1. Due to the fuel distribution problems, Chris Rea has just started walking home for Christmas!
  2. When you say the CD "sometimes" works, how often is sometimes? And on the occasions where it doesn't work, is it the same problem? If the symptoms are the same then it could be the amp as that's common to both forms of input.
  3. Not a folding key but a stronger shell and no problem with cutting the key blade because he does it for you: Have a look at this link here
  4. You've already got a few replies in the topic you started on Monday.
  5. Halfords prices are so high that our discount only brings it down to the same price as elsewhere. The only time I use Halfords is when better places are closed.
  6. If the passenger side works as it should, I can't see it being the thermostat because that would surely be common to both sides? Possibly the mixer flap sticking or its motor going faulty? Just sent you a PM that may help.
  7. Yep, given what's currently available, nuclear is the way to go. We seem to be happy to buy lots of tizzy from France which has a lot of nuclear and as I type this, 79.89% of their current demand is being met by nuclear, but it would seem that we don't want the reactors on our soil.
  8. I believe that it's based on what the manufacturers consider to be the 'end of life' of the car but maybe someone could expand on that?
  9. I wouldn't personally do it as Lexus paint is quite soft. Then again, I'm a ham-fisted clumsy numpty at the best of times so maybe it's just me and you would have better luck!
  10. He's got decent taste if he is Never a huge fan but I do like them.
  11. Because when these cars were designed many moons ago, no one ever thought there would be scrotes going around cutting the wires in order to nick the cat.
  12. Discreet - Judicious in one's conduct or speech Discrete - Apart from or detached from others https://www.dictionary.com/e/discreet-vs-discrete/
  13. I just thought that if I said how I truly feel about it, it would get pulled by the mods
  14. Problem is that it doesn't work on every model.
  15. I must admit that it really bugs me when people come asking for help but then that's the last you ever hear of them. It would be so much more helpful for other people in the future if they knew that a given suggestion worked or not.
  16. Colin's usually correct so I'd say go with what he says. I'll just add in that all the coin cells are the same voltage so from that point of view, any will do. The numbers actually refer to the size of the cell, so a CR1616 is 16mm diameter, 1.6mm high; a CR2032 is 20mm diameter, 3.2mm high and so on. If you think it looks too small "in the hole" you could go bigger if you wanted to.
  17. Have a look here Rakesh
  18. It certainly used to but it was a year or two since I did that. Just think of it as external storage for your data. Respectfully, I would say that's absolute garbage. Are you sure that when you were in the car that you were connected to the camera via the cellular (phone) network? It sounds like you could have been connected by wifi or Bluetooth and when you went in the house you went out of range of either of those technologies. To connect to the camera via LTE (cell network) then both camera and phone would have been connected to a cell tower - is it possible that the phone doesn't get a good signal in the house?
  19. It could be any one of a gazillion things so you need to see if there are any OBD2 codes and tell us what they are so that we can help. Without those codes it's all just complete guesswork.
  20. Yes, this is the way Toyota/Lexus eCVTs work. It's a very complex and highly sophisticated system that I can't even pretend to know how it works. In situations like this Google is your friend so here's one to start you off https://mag.lexus.co.uk/perfect-partners-e-cvt-and-hybrid/
  21. Thanks in advance
  22. As others have said, you should be fine. However, just be aware that if you do run out completely, you'll need about 10 litres in the tank before attempting a restart - the plastic fuel containers are only 5 litres if I remember correctly. Also, if you make more than 3 unsuccessful restart attempts then the hybrid system could lock out and need a dealer to reset it.
  23. Yes, sorry, had a brain freeze there and for some reason or other I was thinking you had Techstream. If you have a Windows laptop it may well be a good idea to get it for future use as it's a very handy thing to have.
  24. The petrol engine is the only source of cabin heat so as others have said, either just wait a few seconds for it to fire up, or do as you do at home, ie, turn up the temp and as the system recognises the call for heat it'll turn it on. One other thing you may not be aware of is that no matter where you have the vent controls set, by default the warm air will always come out at low level first. This is because hot air rises so it's the quickest way of getting the cabin up to temp. Similarly, in summer the cool air will always come out at high level first so that it cools the cabin as it falls.
  25. This should help:
