Firstly, if it's a newish lex, it will start to get better after the first 3500 miles. To get more out of your tank, try this................. When crusing at 70 (I know, seems VERY slow) feather the accelerator and let the speed gradually slow down to 65, then speed up to 75, and repeat. When setting off from roundabouts, accelerate hard to get to the speed you want to be at and then feather acclerator again. This was, however, 1/4 unleaded, 3/4 Optimax I think the three key things are: 1. get to the speed you want to be at ASAP. Don't go through the gears. 2. Engine brake: AFAIK, when coasting in gear with no feet on the peddles, so long as the revs are above a safe RPM, the ECU cuts the fuel 3. Do the speed up, slow down naturally thing. I think that's the key thing. For the first 1/2 a tank, sitting at 70 produced just less than 40mpg on the gauge. After that, it was slightly more, probably due to the lesser weight of fuel being carried.

Well, just blown away by lexus' ad for the rx400h.... Doesn't say anything about the car, but you know you want one :-) P.

Was good seeing the lexus. Shame the pole sitter was nerfed off the track! However, right at the end, when muller was coming down the pit straight, the lex sounded like a jet!!!! Wish I could get mine sounding like that! Can't wait to see it again at oulton!

The Supra TT with the iMac was sponsered by us, meaning my company (www.bladeice.com). That was afaik the first mini mac in a car in the UK.... They have a contact in the US who make a very good power supply with timer based off your ignition, sleep mode the lot. ← Have a look at http://www.mini-itx.com/projects/bmwpc/ for another in car kit.... this site has lots of the power supplies which shut down gracefully when the ignition is cut!

Mines just been in for the same thing Brakes were stripped, and greased, as others have suggested. Car was in for an hour and I had a lovely coffee!!! Paul

my pet puddy

Whilst there is probably an element of truth in this, I disagree with the registration marks. Gx etc are first registered in Bristol (a major port for car imports), and pre registered. I had a GP, which was pre reg'd, and had done 4 miles on the clock. There are plenty of other foreign makes which have a Gx registration also

That will stand up in a court of law... They look legal! :P

is that not just the normal bumper with the added spats on? I got quoted £235 painted and fitted by my local lex dealer for them :-)

That's an indicated. not sure what the real values are although those are the exact values I;ve had also

Haven'tr been able to reproduce it, but at slow speeds when turning there is a knocking sound which comes from the car is this the dreaded ball joints?

Was just sat here thinking.... Even with the hybrid nearly available, I'd put a deposit down instantly for an RX and the new lexus diesel engine (220D)... You think if lexus have thought of this?

Has been causing me probs this last week.... Have been away in Singapore, and been having phone calls from friends saying, "someones driving your car!!!!!" Like it has the same reg!

Yeah, 1200 songs worth wouldn't last long! :P Just plug the PSP into your usb port and copy the files across! However, compliments the look of the lex well!

Having been in the posession of my playstation portable for 48 hours now, I was wondering about it's use of an MP3 player in the car.... This is how cool it looks in the lex.... Would be very easy to make a stand for lineout output and power input! And it comes with a remote control as well I hope sony bring out a sat nav component for it (or someone does....)! regards, Paul

Don't be like that.... The French gave us one of the best driving films ever! Taxi, of course (Please don't get it confused with the piece of Merde that came out of America by the same name staring Queen of Sheba, or whatever she is called)

Two please..... Your mate isn't fergus is he? I was contacted by him 1.5 years ago as I;d written some nice stuff in the JD power survey, and he wanted to use them for some promo stuff for lexus... Needless to say, he sorted me out with some tickets! Nice bloke! Will this turn out to be a lexus mini meet? :-)

Hmmm....that's got me thinking now. It would be nice to have the chips done. ← regardsless of the work I:ve had done, it's only ever cost me £100!!!!

After catching the roof of mine several times with a lance from a car wash, the local chipsaway did a great job. Ther also managed to do the sports bumper when a kerb jumped out at me. You wouldn't know the difference!

Please tell me the manual comes with a normal hand brake, not that nasty american stupid thing that most american cars are blessed with? How on earth will you be able to have run on wet car parks / snow with that foot brake!

Maybe, but think of all that Torque. There is little that would beat you off the line sub 6 seconds, but for over taking.... My *** in heaven, that will put you in the back seat! If a 330 over takes you, we all know what we think. If an IS / LS over took, you'd think: What the hell was that!

No, red sock wearing types should be banned. They commented on taking the disco up that mountain in Scotland... The sodding Ramblers assoc are responsible for ripping up more of the UK's countryside than any other organisation.... Look at the pennine way. I bet they guy mentioned in the article drives a regular car and NOT a prius or similar. Sodding Hypocrite Banning a program will not change anything. Top Gear for me is escapism as it shows cars I haven't any chance in hell of driving, and we have all wanted to drive a car through a caravan. The ratings say it all. If you want to ban top gear, why not ban every motor racing sport as well?

I think you had a naff installer then mate! You can only see the controller in mine :) And yes, quality is better in a wired kit, although if you change your phone.......
