A/c water drippage or if it was a diesel it could also be an adblue leak.

Hi. I know you can alter settings on toyota/lexus with techstream but I wondered if anyone knows if other handheld type units can do the alterations? I've only seen Carista that advertises clearly that if can but I dont fancy paying a subscription for something I won't use much. A lot of YouTube types use Topdon diag tools but its unclear if they will even support lexus or not let alone let you alter settings. I just want to be able to check for fault codes, clear codes etc & make settings changes such as holding unlock on fob lowers the windows. Thanks

Booked the rcf for its service & mot later this month, enquired about the recall & they instantly said there's no parts.

my manual has 136 pages

Theres a lot of NX moving through the PDI place this week. Hundreds.

I found a little round switch/button under the dash in the drivers footwell, the manual tells you nothing, Is this the TPMS reset switch?

I work at Toyota where they PDI the cars/ install accessories etc before they go out to the dealerships which is also the same place they build the Corolla.

by the time it gets to the dealership it will need a proper valet!

All the lc500 I'm seeing at work have white interiors including white floor mats! Good luck with that!

Apparently Toyota said Europe got the GR Yaris & NA got the GR Corolla. Dont know why its like that, I guess Europe prefers compact cars & USA likes a bigger car?

I dont know why Japanese manufacturers dont allow special orders in the UK for any model they make even if they dont intend to stock any in UK dealerships mainly because Japan is RHD. Most recently Nissan decided not to sell the 400z in the UK & Europe. There was talk that Toyota wouldnt sell the GR86 in the UK but it did in the end. No doubt the most likely answer to why we dont get X car in the UK, is emissions of the engine or safety regulations. Having to make specific changes just for a tiny market isnt worth it.

Just noticed that the fancy pano roof electric frosting thing is an option, so unless you pay for it you don't get it & you don't get a manual shade either, so pay up or have no way to block the light from the panoramic roof.

There's a quality issue with locking wheel nuts, until the people in charge say to ship without them, the cars are on hold.

The cars are "frozen" so they arent going anywhere until whatever it is gets sorted out.

All the NX have been port blocked because of some issue regarding wheel nuts or something.

Cyprus & Ireland are rhd i think.

I dont know, spray the area around the car, on the plastic cowl between the windscreen & bonnet. ?

Spray potent citrus scents on the areas affected.

Id be more concerned if I had a Hilux or something that doesnt need to be jacked up to get at the pipe.

Ive only been to the Lexus dealer one time so far to set up a service plan & I felt like a VIP despite asking for help with a used Lexus which i bought privately, s****y (you cant type sw@nky on here huh!) showroom, coffee, biscuits, greeted at the reception etc, couldnt have been better really. Will go for its major service & fuel vent recall thingy in June, will see if I still feel the same way after that. Opposite to my VW experience, no one even looks in your direction when you walk in & the showroom is just some random open plan thing with random desks & a few cars scattered around.

I had a manual transmission golf R before I got the RCF & I used the OBD to disable the exhaust baffles so they were permanently open. I came from Nissan S15 with a sports exhaust, where i could tell when to change gear by the exhaust note, I found it really difficult at first to drive the Golf fast as i couldnt hear the engine or exhaust at all. I ended up reactivating them, but as I owned the OBD thing already it was free & made the car louder all the time. Wonder if you can try opening up the stock exhaust all the time using the Techstream thing.

I thought id might end up wanting a sporty exhaust on the RCF but when I see footage of a mustang or something I realise that having that noise all the time would actually be irritating & i find that being able to have a refined quiet ride or put it in sport+ to hear the exhaust is pretty good, especially in you go through a tunnel, plus all the exhausts for the RCF are very expensive & I dont think the regular RCF looks aggressive enough to pull off a constant V8 sound, apart from the track edition, which is another reason why the track edition is such a wasted opportunity. Also when i was looking to buy an RCF I was turned off by any modified ones. I was initially eyeing this Blitz Nur spec up at £4000 though. https://www.fensport.co.uk/collections/lexus-rc-f-v8-usc10-09-14/products/blitz-nur-spec-f-ti-exhaust-system-lexus-rc-f

Tesla owners have blasted car charging chaos across the UK during the Christmas holiday with dozens of electric vehicles forced to wait in three hour queues. Cars were logjammed up and down the country, with snaking queues spotted in Hertfordshire, Cumbria, Westmorland and Telford.28 Dec 2022

Who regularly does 200+ mile trips & is even looking at ev's? I always think they are perfect for people who have short commutes or live in cities.

Rz has some nicer than average floor mats.
