    is it a general thing or just a thing in hot countries where the sun beats on it?

    Fuel pump?

    I think is an act of god & not insured. Could have been worse, Id thought of spending more & waiting for a carbon edition to show up in the right colour, Im not sure if carbon roof would take a hit better than the metal roof but if it cracked or something it would probably cost a lot more to fix. The one thing I dont get about Lexus is how cheap they are with the headunit screens, the UX is by far the worst, they clearly could have put a much bigger screen in, but they make you pay extra for an upgrade option, its like a punishment for not buying a higher grade. You dont see this in Toyotas.

    I thought about waiting for newer used Rcf (2018) because of the lower tax but after researching, it's not actually much cheaper, you pay whatever the tax is plus an extra £350 on top for the first 6 years of the cars life because its worth over £40000 new. The person who buys the car new has to pay £1500 first year tax. So I got a 2015 anyway.

    Update - Been enjoying the car, playing with the drive modes, getting used to it. Best thing I learnt for the RCF is ignore the MPG meter, just drive how you like. Unfortunately after 5 days of owning it, the wind blew the TV antenna off the roof of my house & debris landed on the roof of the RCF, 1 bad & 3 minor dents & scrapes. £600 bodyshop bill coming up.

    Its a solution. Having to reset your favourite radio channels, the time & date etc is annoying but not the end of the world.

    If you look at the inside of the fuse box lid ,theres a map of the fuses & relays. It should say DC CUT on one of them or looking at a picture, in this cars case i think its the SHORT PIN fuse, thats the white one thats bigger than the rest.

    i blame Alan Partridge

    Couldnt you take the DC CUT fuse out, its what the manufacturers do while the car is sitting on a yard for months or at sea for weeks. it cuts off all the parasitic drains on the 12 volt battery.

    There are rubber mats available from Lexus oe parts. I could probably get the part number.

    I work at the main Toyota place in the UK & theres constant part shortages. Its mainly a lack of key fobs at the moment, they are all coming in with 1 fob. Youre probably more likely to get a car quicker if you dont order any optional extras too.

    Only got it a couple of days ago, back to work tomorrow so will do some miles in it, im sure it will just take some getting used to.

    It feels like im not in control of the power delivery, I press the accelerator, theres a pause while It decides to kick down a gear & then either I didnt press enough & it doesnt really accelerate much or I overcooked it & it takes off more than I thought or I feel it struggling for grip. Every movement of the pedal in a manual is in sync with the output of the engine, I feel a real disconnect with this. I think I might try just always using manual mode. The only other automatic ive had was a mk4 supra twin turbo, mainly because manuals were so rare. It dont remember having such issues with that, but it was only a 4 speed.

    I bought this car 😮. Ive gone from a manual transmission mk7.5 Golf R to this & while I like the RCF im struggling with the transmission a bit, seems a bit disconnected from my inputs with the throttle. Although i think I need to give it more time to get used to it & find the best way to drive it, im intrigued by the A'pexi throttle controller, sounds like it could be a really good improvement.
