  1. These units do seem pricey, especially when kits for other cars seem to be less than £100. Supply and demand I suppose.
  2. Although it's possible to turn off the display on the SATNAV screen, in that case the Lexus logo appears but not the 'I agree' screen, so it sounds like there is a display fault. To confirm, pressing the dest, climate, or audio keys should display something onscreen, if not there's a problem. The touchscreen is fixable but not for the faint hearted.
  3. Same here for me in 'Cleveland' which doesn't exist as far as the forum is concerned. It happens with some other websites too, it must be to do with the software having an (very) out-of-date list installed
  4. Yeah, the IS250 is on the compact side. If you're 6'4 then I doubt there'd be any legroom for a rear seat passenger behind you. The GS will be as reliable as you would expect. If you really want to sleep easy then buy a lexus extended warranty (you don't have to buy the car through Lexus) You need to go and sit in one and test drive it, but otherwise the GS will be a solid bet and worth every penny
  5. Yeah, I thought it was good of Lexus Derby to host our get-together which I think shows commitment to the brand and to their customer base. Special mention to Alex who was very attentive to all of the group. The morning meet, getting to see some of the cars and chat to their owners was the best part of the day for me
  6. True, but that does sound like an offer you couldn't refuse - even if you'll only use it for doing the weekly shop 😉
  7. Very dissapointing weekend from my point of view. Lost you all and never got a chance to catch up as I didn't have anyones phone number - my fault for not asking I suppose but if the planned itinery is thrown out of the window then there was no chance for me. I did see you guys leaving the ladybower inn but I knew that Snake pass was closed so there was no point in turning round and trying to follow as I wouldn't have had a clue where you were going.
  8. Hi Danny Congrats on the new car and welcome to the forum. There's not a lot of aftermarket mods for these. The exhaust can be expensive to replace, there's not a lot of pattern parts around (although there are starting to be some on ebay) so a few owners have had to have stainless steel replacements made and some have complained they're a bit noisy but that might be what you're looking for. Other than that, you're looking at importing stuff from the USA where there are some suppliers offering upgrades see this forum discussion for some more info
  9. Congratulations Dan, super news (just as well the baby didn't choose tomorrow to arrive) We'll miss you tomorrow but here's to the next time.
  10. Great write-up John, thanks for taking all the pics and sharing with us. I'll be following all your updates with great interest.
  11. Looks like you had plenty of sunshine today, car looks fantastic 🙂
  12. I doubt I'll be able to keep up with all you 'f'ers () so I'll need the route plan
  13. I believe it is a warranty insurance scheme but it is specific to Lexus. The general feedback is that it's probably as close as you will get to a new car warranty on a used car. The downside is that you need to get the car serviced by Lexus
  14. I've had exactly this issue before - fuel cap not fitted correctly triggered an EML. Only had it the once, now I make sure the fuel cap is fitted properly and no issues since. I only get a couple of clicks as well
  15. Hi Gary Welcome to the LOC. To answer your query, it's possible. I'd imagine the simplest way would be to connect a 12v source to the appropriate fuse in the fusebox. I'd be cautious though as you run a real risk of having starting issues due to drain on the battery unless you have a device(s) that will shutdown if the power source drops below a safe level. Why do you need constant power?
  16. I'd suggest the alternator is the 1st place to look - headlights, starter motor, hazards all seem to be wired as essential systems, radio, wndows etc as secondary systems. Check voltage across the battery terminals with/without the engine running. It should read higher when the engines running
  17. It seems not dog-friendly but the Royal Oak and The Duke both do. It's finding a place that can accomodate us all together with our cars. Anyway, do we think we should just do our own thing on the day or try and organise something?
  18. There's a big car park on Bank Road behind the council offices. Sometimes these are open to the public at weekends??
  19. Just wondering if we should try and book somewhere for lunch for everyone? This looks a decent candidate, fair sized car park around the back, and there's a trip advisor review about them catering for 36 on a Cobra club outing recently so our bunch should be no trouble. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g190756-d1894234-Reviews-The_Knights_Table-Buxton_Derbyshire_England.html#photos;aggregationId=101&albumid=101&filter=7&ff=327805337
