@Malc1 Honda Stream 2.0L automatic 2002

Common problem - it's not the switch it's the mirrors. The up and down movement fails due to the linkage of mirror movement to engaging reverse gear. They thought it was a good idea to aid visibility while reversing. Up/down adjustment is hardly ever needed, I've easily managed to live 8 years without it. The alternative for perfection is 2 new mirror units at several hundred pounds each (plus fitting) and unless is disconnected from reverse selection will likely fail again.

Looking at the latest comments on the article Lexus have finally fessed up that there's no updates and they're still working on it, so for now at least it's seemingly pointless contacting your local dealer.

I read a few times today my car has some kind of ‘ready mode’ it does a system check everytime switched on so theoretically I guess if the 12 volt low that would cause an issue I guess.

Are top bearings covered under warranty? My 69 plate UX is making a similar creaking noise on full steering

Chris, hello, are you still there? Your keyboard is not typing anything.

It's not quite as practical as an RCF, but depends what you need really. I go shopping in it, I've been on week long holidays with it and had room to spare. You get a front and rear boot so it's more practical than an MX-5 or S2000.

Yeah, they are extremely expensive for what they are. A cheaper option is to import them from Japan for half the price, including shipping. 04946-30110 Regardless, I'm not sure they'll cure a "clunk" type of sound, the shims mostly help with rattles or squealing.

You just made me check my logbook and go "Hmph" It does indeed say under vehicle details O.1 1500kg braked and O.2 560kg unbraked. The problem with this is the MAM is 2055kg while the Kerb weight is 1710kg so surely adding a trailer+load of 1500kg goes way above the MAM unless MAM is for the car itself and i can still add 1500kg bringing the complete combined weight of car+trailer+load to 3555kg. I assume this is the case.

Going to take a 2 hour test drive to determine once and for all whether the passenger seat can be adjusted so as to be comfortable for my wife. if it can then likely we will buy, if not then back to the research for alternatives!

Well I got a quick reply from LV basically stating that the LBX was not yet added to their approved list so they could not offer insurance on it! When I asked when/if it would be added got typical fob off reply that they won’t know until it is added! So no further forward at all. I must wonder why it is taking insurance companies so long to add the LBX to their approved lists, perhaps Lexus are just not big enough to gain any importance in expediting their analysis?

my 400 has 235/60s. The spring pan or cups on mine look very close to tyre. But they move in unison. They will never touch. Never have done.

That’s was my view, something either behind or at the other end. It doesn’t disconnect if I waggle the cable. Unfortunately not a second one as only one is linked to AA

this true and what's the process of replacing is it a hub off job?

I think the point about whether the UX is a 'family' car revolves not around how many people you can get inside the car but rather what you can get in the boot when you have four people inside the car! If you have two kids in the back and are going on holiday for a week, where are you going to stow all the gear and suitcases? It ain't all going to go in the boot! And don't forget the pushchair and a highchair as well every time you visit the in-laws..! That's why, IMHO, it won't work for a lot of one-car families. I used to be able to leave my golf bag and golf cart (trolly) in the boot of my RX450h all the time. Having down-sized to my UX - which I love - it's a different story and the rear seats have to go down every time. I knew that would be the case and accepted it.

Unless things have changed in the past month map updates currently can only be done by the dealer. They are FOC but it means that the dealer will need your car for 2 hours. Had ours done 2 months ago & dealer provided us with a courtesy car for the day.

oem is gonna be Denso.

Simply put, there isn't a market for the F range in the UK. The reason they don't sell quick, is because they're not suaght after. Sadly anyone with visions of a £30k+ ISF selling quickly is living in the US market. The UK is just not the place for the ISF (well not yet). It doesn't matter what you have, only another enthusiast or someone that knows what they want, will go for it. To other people it's an over priced V8 that is not desirable. I wish it wasn't!

Chris Knott is a long standing well regarded broker with real people talking with you 0800 917 2274 ? Malc

@Herbie can you please send me the same information you send Nick and others please ? thank you!

what marketplace is that?

Better to have driven and sweated than never to have driven at all. Or something like that.

Mines fitted with RCF alloys and offset is a bit more aggressive. 255 Front and 275 Rear. Rears slightly rub, so will be raising the rears slightly. And as Ivacerk said, these cars look better with beefier tires.

Maybe the kick sensor is being triggered.

I’d be giving my dealership a call soon as I need to decide whether I am going to return the car to them or not at the end of the term in July. —C
