    LC500 driven hard around the Nurburgring

    Some websites say if you have that code they can fix it, so they must know what causes it. Im assuming its a fractured joint on a component or something because of all the heat cycling the thing gets in the boot of the car. This place is one that seems to already know what to do with them while others will "take a look" which isnt easy with an intermittant problem. https://electronicrepairs.com.au/product/lexus-rcf-mark-levinson-amplifier-repair-3180/

    You can do a diagnostic test that will see if its the amp or not. Next time you turn on the ignition & theres no sound hold the MENU button & turn the headlights on & off 3 times. If you get a code B15C3 its the common amp issue. Sounds like its the amp anyway though.

    I used techstream to change the power window options so when i hold the unlock, the windows come down & it beeps & when I hold the lock it puts the windows up & beeps.

    Pricey. Wonder what the lead times on big parts are.

    I very much dont understand the hatred for the old infotainment, i think its so much worse to have to reach forwards to press the screen, compared to move your finger on the track pad, not to mention if they put the heater controls into the screen too. The pre updated infotainment dashboard on the LC is also much nicer with that textured piece & the screen behind the glass.

    air conditioning condensation drain hose is a safe bet.

    maybe it does some sort of system check every 10th start or something, do not question the Lexus.

    "On 6th July 2022, speed limiters became a legal requirement for all new cars manufactured in Europe. From 7th July 2024 onwards, all car manufacturers will be legally required to ensure any cars on sale in their showrooms have speed limiters fitted. This means that any showroom cars without speed limiters will need to have the technology retrofitted."

    I work at Toyota uk & I can tell you that they recently completed a project for Hilux, they made a load of Hydrogen powered Hilux prototypes & I see a hydrogen powered passenger bus driving around the plant too so just based on my own eyes, id say they didnt give up on hyrdogen at all. Im sure there must be a business & financial & advertising, cabon offestting/net zero benefit to it all for them to continue when its not very profitable though.

    Supposedly the Landcruiser is an exception, it seems to be generally considered as beingvbetter than the lexus version. New Landcruiser looks pretty good tbh & I'm not into 4x4s

    I had the same vvti issue on an old Nissan with an sr20 engine.

    I'm not sure self parking is a thing. Sounds like a huge liability for a car company, you'd at least have to have a human behind the wheel ready to take over when the ai tries to delete you.

    Ignition coil ftw

    From my experience recently, the oem & aftermarket are similar prices & a least you know oem will be 100% the right part. £75 for a tpms from lexus direct for my rcf
  16. RadicalCoupe-Fuji
    you pull the door lever instead of pressing it on the inside to mechanically open it even without power
  17. RadicalCoupe-Fuji
    road salt residue?

    I have no idea about LeMans but I got up close with the Toyota Avensis touring car once, the Toyota drivers test their cars on the test track here according to them the only original part left was the bonnet & the chopped down shell of the car. It wasn't really an Avensis in any meaningful way. Wonder what engine is in that rcf cause I'd bet its not based on the 2ur
  19. RadicalCoupe-Fuji
    It's a shame lexus didn't go more all in on the rcf track edition.

    the newer RC-F have an electronic parking brake instead of a foot pedal, launch control & a nicer info screen. The facelift seems like its just different headlights, side skirts, exhaust tips & wheels, black instead of chrome around the windows. I prefer the sculptured pre facelift headlights but Its all subjective. Im not a fan of the colour coded rear diffuser, black is the best colour there imo, it looks odd to me when its white or whatever.

    I had my 2015 RCF serviced with Lexus recently, they told me if I get the car serviced next year before its 10th birthday It will still get the relax warranty through to 2026
  22. RadicalCoupe-Fuji
    the RCF & LC500 are being discontinued this year, at least in the UK.
  23. RadicalCoupe-Fuji
    As soon as they stop making v8's the prices will only go up & lc500 is underrated, its a future classic.

    Did you try setting each window by going to the individual door, pressing the switch down until the window is stopped & holding it for a second, then holding it up until the window fully closes & then hold for a second? Flat batteries can mean you have to set the power windows again & thr master switch base won't work until they are set.

    Im surprised its not made from plastic.
