Panoramic Roof
Rannsachair replied to Mindthegap's topic in RX 300 / RX 350h / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h+ / RX 500h Club
We have a 2014 Advance with panoramic roof. I am 6 foot 3 and feel there is plenty room. -
Managed to pick up a good second hand mirror the right colour off ebay. Came from Lithuania which was a concern but polished up like new. Fitting was not too hard, I managed to find a video on how to remove the door card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5KYJ9JJZX0 just needed to be careful not to drop the nuts from the mirror inside the door. So all good, just need to decide on a dashcam now 😀

Driving along this morning on a 60 mph road and an oncoming van drifts over and hits my drivers side mirror. Happens in the dark, van does not stop and i get no details 😠 So I have popped the glass back in as it was not broken but the indicator lens in the mirror is broken and the mirror casing scuffed. So I have just ordered a second hand one of ebay (anyone swapped a mirror before) - any difficulties changing? I am thinking of getting a dash cam - though not sure if it would help as would not have shown the impact,,,,,,

I drove my 2014 RX450h rom Lochgilphead to Campbeltown and back, about 50 miles each way of 60 mph limit rural roads. I reset fuel economy and got really good figures sitting around 55 mph.

Possibly confusing 20" wheels? I liked "Also worth having a look at is the Jeep Grand Cherokee, along with the Range Rover Sport. The latter has a far better cabin than the Lexus, and it’s much nicer to drive, but its reliability record isn’t as good. " Where its "reliability record isn't as good" means it is opposite ends of the spectrum... and I even own a Landrover!

I cut back on bike usage during chemo, most of my bikes are kickstart, which I struggled with. my BMW has both electric and kickstart so managed to use it a bit during my treatment. I would guess that the Avon Safety Mileage tyres on my 1954 Matchless are about 20 years old and have no cracks..... though I probably should think of getting a new set... your Dunlops did not last long sitting, perhaps modern grippy tyres are more prone to cracking.

I am old enough to have used Tyrewall black on tyres back in the 80's 🙄 I replaced all 5 tyres on my Landrover Defender last year, they are BF Goodrich mud terrains and had tons of tread left, despite doing 60,000 miles in 10 years due to sidewall cracking. i see some products are advertised as giving UV protection to reduce cracking (though as you say not petroleum based), think I will look into it as I tend to cover low mileages per year as my travel is spread over 2 cars and 4 motorbikes.

You may well be correct, I wish I had spotted it when i inspected it prior to purchase, the pouring rain did not help! Just annoying to buy a Lexus approved used car and immediately have to look for a new tyre after 200 miles use. I perhaps mistakenly thought the Tyre foam I used helps prevent cracking: Made by Armorall, they claim "Penetrates to guard against the elements which crack and fade tyre sidewalls" https://www.my-sds.co.uk/Admin/ViewDocument.aspx?SDSNo=17&headingID=1&MasterCompanyID=347&primaryReportId=0
