I did the same ceramic over PPF for the whole car. So far, and its early days, but really happy with it. Cost me 6 pct of the car but not only is cleaning a doddle but the PPF saved me when I scraped the front spoiler in France last year. The PPF was a real mess but just had that section replaced and underneath minimal barely noticeable damage to the paint.

An hour or so drive this weekend and no probs, so hopefully fixed. Ironically the lead I have put in feels cheap and the one I have taken out is a short thick braided type. And CD's definitely superior quality but try telling my daughter that🤣
-
Humble pie, I think it may be just loose connection between lead and socket within storage compartment. It seems both of the short leads I bought specifically for this purpose suffer from this but an old longer one from a bottom drawer does the purpose. Given all connections a clean with alcohol and checked for fluff. A pair of pliers on the short leads may have done the trick. I have got to know Tidal a little better in the process and its interaction with Siri, so every cloud.....

I maybe wrong but I think your wheels may be the newer versions, but I am happy to be corrected by more the more knowledgable here.
-
Right, I am going to follow your procedure and see if I can find some fluff!
-
And one I am less proud of, following an incident with a temporary curb in a drive through bakery. I blame the co-pilot! Due to a nick in the sidewall on the tyre, we replaced it. When we saw the thickness of the run flats tyre wall, we realised that we had perhaps been over conservative, but better safe than sorry.

Here follows some long overdue pics from our tour of France last October

Thanks, all good info. Cable is fine, I am working on my phone/Tidal to see if I can sort it out. I have now enabled Siri and updated Tidal app so it works with Siri. An ideal bank holiday project😀.

Perhaps they are becoming more common in the SW but I remember not seeing one on the road in the whole year we were waiting for ours to be delivered. My wife got quite excited when the yellow hybrid drove past our house recently and started waving vigorously at the owner. Poor sod must have thought she needed taking away!
-
Thanks, can I ask if you are using google maps or apple maps, does the screen revert to Lexus own SatNav if you lose signal?
-
I live in a small Somerset town with a population of approx 20k. Given the rarity of LC's I am pleasantly surprised to know of at least 3 cars in Clevedon. A yellow hybrid, a white convertible and my blue Regatta. Anyone else with similar experiences in their localities?
-
We get intermittent mobile signal in our town, so I download albums in Tidal app. (Similar to Spotify etc ). However as soon as we lose signal carplay reverts to lexus SatNav map and stops playing. I could understand it if I was streaming the music but I am playing stuff downloaded on my phone in Tidal App. Perhaps I am being a dinosaur but it makes me want to just play Cd's . Anyone help please?

Any more NEW LC500s coming to the UK?
Marcus63 replied to Ned6708's topic in Lexus LC500 / LC500h Club
If anyone is interested, I know of a cancelled order on a new LC convertible which may be for sale. Pearl White with dark blue interior and dark blue roof. I am not an involved party but can let anyone know the Lexus Dealership salesman's details if of interest. I bought my LC from this salesman and became aware of this ones availability while having mine serviced. I guess this must be the Ultimate Edition. -
Try Admiral, we got a very sensible 3 month quote for Takumi spec. (to match the end date of my LC with Admiral). Time will tell what we get for both cars together on our renewal date at end of June.

How many lc500 convertible cars are in the uk
Marcus63 replied to Brian newman's topic in Lexus LC500 / LC500h Club
Six month ownership and 4k miles on and we still love it😀

Update on lights, dealership said that the lights don't require adjusting. Regarding parking, my intention is to only stay in hotels with private parking and be pretty anal regarding parking in towns.
-
I have just applied for one. Lets see if it arrives on time and whether I have filled the form in correctly! now to call my dealership re headlights and bulbs!
-
All great stuff, thanks. We are not planning on visiting any cities requiring Critair, I don't think but will check and I think just one session on the autoroute. Planning cross country down through the Loire and down to the SE corner. High viz and triangle I have already and I think I have worked out how to switch off the automatic main beam adjuster, although in practise, night driving should be minimal. Thanks again.
-
Good idea, nothing magnetic at the rear. Just tested it with an old GB magnetic sticker which fell off wherever I tried to put it. Just going to Spain for a day with little driving, just a mile from the border, so I'll place a GB sticker against the rear window and put the roof up for the mile or so. I am not sticking anything on the rear of the car!
-
Thanks, the reason we are going by Euro tunnel rather than Ferry was to protect the car, so damage to the alloys is the last thing I want! We have already booked Flexiplus so perhaps we could cancel and re-book with the roof-rack option. Can I assume that it will not be a problem turning up in that section with no roof rack given it is a convertible? update, thanks again for the info, I have just changed the booking to a high sided vehicle. Cost an extra £60 in total but compared to the pain of wheel damage...
-
We are off to France for a month shortly in our LC conv. Looking forward to the trip but its been years since we took a car to Europe. Any advice would be welcome. I know we need high viz jackets in the car and a triangle. I also read that we now need a UK sticker. Magnetic? Whatever will do least damage to the paintwork I guess. Do we need to make any adjustments to the headlamps? Thanks in anticipation. I will try to post some photos.

Who's got or ordered a Convertible
Marcus63 replied to Kevin Williams's topic in Lexus LC500 / LC500h Club
I would echo the comments above. Works well but expensive. I didn't like the look of the higher sitting one. I got a good deal on new car order and just viewed the cost of the wind shield as giving back some of the discount and currently am glad I did. -
A drive through the Wye Valley with a brief stop at Tintern Abbey

I saw a link to a podcast on an LC facebook page and so far it makes fascinating listening. The story behind the LC after one US journalist described Lexus's as boring. Its called 'Go and see' by Malcom Gladwell. Six shortish episodes. I am only half way through but great stuff to date.
