Go to Menu -> Setup -> General and there is a screen change setting at the bottom of the first page, switch that to off and it will stop the screen jumping back.

Believe me Lexus will not have put that there without good reason, and there will have definitely been some justification to the bean counters for the extra expense.

You need the jack in case of a puncture and having to use the can of goo.

Too many inconsiderate :tsktsk: around today !!! At least it doesn't look like it will be too bad for one of the many PDR companies to deal with.

Ganzoom - I think you've convinced yourself :) On another note, has anybody ever driven one of those infiniti cars? :D

I was just in a Tesla S taxi yesterday, and that centre console IPad is humongous!!

That car has now been reduced by £1k and something makes me think you'd have no trouble getting if for sub £50k. *gulp*

I used to a do a route from Brentwood back to Braintree via the A12 every day in my F-sport and no issues with receiving Planet Rock or Absolute 80's. Maybe you can try that on your return journey during that section of the A12 to compare.

I've (unfortunately) had one of my F-sport alloys refurbished by Lexus Ipswich, and I too was impressed with the colour match. The service manager did say the first one their guy did had been a struggle but that he'd done a few now.

This is where agreed value policies come in. If your Lexus really is your pride & joy then I would definitely recommend getting an agreed value policy, it saves any debate and delay if the worst does happen. I have one of these on my Supra, due to its rarity.

No matter what the manufacturers say, it always causes more stress on the components than an NA engine.Apparently the weight of the engine is only 167kg. No idea if that's good or not lol but it's lower than the 250 And all the bolts will fall out and the wheels will drop off at exactly 100k

It causes extra stress on the engine components. There used to be cooling issues back in the 80's and you had to cool the car down for 2 minutes before turning it off. I think this is states in the NX200t owners manual too, but dont know how relevant this actually is in modern engines. There was a lawsuit against BMW for the N54 engine back in the states. They had to put the car under warranty for 10 years/120k miles as it had pump issues. No manufacturer worth their salt would produce an engine that over stressed components nowadays. Things have moved on considerably since the 80's, particularly on the design and manufacturing tolerances side. Look at all the Mitsubishi Evo's (FQ300's and FQ400's as an example) and Subaru WRX's out there that have done many thousands of miles with no hitches. This engine looks quite interesting to me, and i'm curious why they have gone for an air to water intercooler as that introduces quite a lot of weight, but maybe in a less sporty car like the IS weight is not the biggest consideration. I'll be interested to test drive it when it is launched.

We all know 340hp from a 2.0 turbo is possible but itll start having problems near 100k guaranteed. Why's that then?

A software developer trying to put themselves out of business ? That'll never happen :D

There's a reason for that. Have you seen the average Tesco's customer? :o

Of that 195microns do you know what percentage is made up by the primer, undercoat(if there is one) colour and then lacquer?

Be careful using the scratch remover products as the paint\clearcoat seems to be very thin.

Tell her to sit in the back, problem sorted !

If you were a tree hugger you may have a different view

I would say somewhere between 12.5v and 13.5v, although I wouldn't have any concerns unless it was regularly reading below 12v Hope that helps.

Wow, only 12 Infiniti dealers in the whole of the UK http://www.infiniti.co.uk/contact/?moi=q50 Could be a bit of a challenge come servicing or support requirements, unless it could be undertaken by the Nissan dealerships.

I had a good nose around one at Goodwood last year, think it was the Q50, and it looked quite nice. Definitely worth a closer look although i'd be worried that their hybrid system is not as good as Toyota's

If you connect the phone to external power, luckily Lexus give you a handy USB socket in the centre console, then you can initiate by turning on the 'Hey Siri' setting.

After activating Siri. just say 'Send message to John' or whoever. Should work fine.

Sorry to hear this. Let's hope that's the end of your bad luck.
