Motorists invited to clean up on new car costs with Lexus and Toyota Scrappage schemes

The Lexus line-up includes the popular CT hatchback, ES saloon and the UX, NX and RX top-selling SUVs. For Toyota, the choice extends from the Aygo city car through
Lexus Origins: designing the original Lexus
May 1987 is a landmark in Lexus history, the date when the design of what was to become the brand’s first production model was given the green light The sign-off on the styling of the “F1” came even before the name “Lexus” had been agreed. But two years later the design study was ready for its public debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit as the all-new, production-ready LS 400, the first car to carry the now famous “L” badge. Beauty may be in the eye of t
CABIN CALM AND A CHORUS OF POWER IN THE LEXUS LC CONVERTIBLE
The powerful sound produced by the engine and exhaust is a key part of the driving experience in the new Lexus LC Convertible. Great aural quality was an important goal for the car’s development team, and one that required precise engineering techniques to achieve The ultra-exclusive LFA supercar marks the origin of Lexus’s focus on the importance of the engine sound and the specialists who worked on its V10 power unit identified the separate qualities that come together to create the ideal

Portable Power Jump Start
Hi I have one of those portable Battery packs to jump start cars which I had from my previous Rav 4. The pack will jump start cars up to 2.5L engines but does anyone know if would be enough to jump start my RX450h with the smaller 12v Battery? I just need to know if I need to invest in another power pack just in case I ever need it. This is my current device : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01DVSSCG6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_iMYbFbB1P67ES Thanks
Boot release kaputt
Just discovered the drive boot release button no longer working. Seems like it just 'flops about'. Is it a cable release behind, and is it easy(ish) to get to see what has 'broke' without major pulling apart of the lower half of dash. It's not a big deal, as the remote key still unlocks boot, but is handy about 2 or 3 times a year to be able to just pull that little tab when the missus needs to get something quick. Any advice appreciated
E10 fuel
Whilst reading another blog I came across this topic regarding the replacement of E5 petrol with E10 petrol. It looks like E10 fuel will be introduced in 2021. However E5 fuel will be available but as a premium fuel at a premium price (as it is now). The following advice applies to Lexus vehicles- E10 petrol is cleared for use in all Lexus European petrol models made from January 1998, excluding: •IS250 2.5 litre V6 with engine 4GR-FSE made between August 2005 and September 2007
