I drove the Lexus back from North Herefordshire yesterday evening ( twas snowing quite bad in Worcester )back down to South Devon.

This is the first long journey I have had in the car and she behaved impeccably, in fact it was so quiet I had to stop myself nodding off on several occasions.

But one thing I found is that despite all the multitude of position changes you can implement on the car, both steering and seat, my right arm kept going dead ?

I just could not get it comfy.

I do have quite a bad injury to this arm though, after a bike crash on New Years day 2000 and it does give me jip from time to time, but this was different.

I was getting pins and needles all down the arm and had to keep stretching it out.

Has anybody else encountered this ?

Hi

I found the same sort of problem with mine, the arm rest on the door is to low & the window ledge to high to rest my right elbow, what I do now on long journeys is either raise the seat up high to rest my elbow on the window ledge, or drop the wheel down low & rest my arm on my leg.

Can I ask if you had this dead sensation/serious pins and needles gpoing into your fingers or did it stop at your wrist ?

You need to by the Celsior import model like mine, this has an electrically adjustable door arm rest with up/down and forwards/backwards adjustment so you can rest your arm in the most comfortable position for driving, the cf package model has in addition to this a heated massaging door arm rest :whistling:

Don't forget to mention the cranial-massaging headrests.

If you atatch a bunge cord to the sun visor & wrap the outher end around your wrist this will also solve the problem. :winky:

Mine ha a massaging brake pedal, must be something wrong with it though as it only seems to work in icy conditions

I bet it's not heated like mine!

I could attach a bungee cord to both wrists then I would look like "Brains" in Thunderbirds " Gee Mr.Tracey this Lexus LS400 sure drives better than the mole"
