  1. or in the cold weather ( unless you use proper screen wash )the contents have frozen and split the bottle?
  2. The only few things i would try is 1.... move the seat all the way forwards and backwards as far as it will go a couple of times. 2.... Take it back to Lexus if its still under warranty or as last resort disconnect the battery for 10 mins
  3. Agree with everything that has been said, A Great car and very good built quality, I have had a few problems with mine but that's was sort of expected when it was one of the first to arrive in the UK, after the dealerships demos. Saying that everything has been sorted out by the dealership who continue to look after me even though the warranty has expired. plus in just over 3 years i still haven't seen another one on the road, so very exclusive.
  4. I think the one you are looking for is the "Inspiration Series" which i believe was limited to 500,
  5. Take it back to Lexus, they will replace the cap free under the warranty, they will need the car all day as it is a long job
  6. Hi Malcolm, The screen goes blank and the word "SEARCHING......", comes up on the screen the same as when you first start up the car, the same as if you push down on the volume control knob for 10 seconds, this resets the system, but mine randomly does this. They have told me that the MM19 update should solve this problem Yes agree with the scaling, mine does the same, but on this occasion it also changed the mode to 3D which put the blue strip across the top of the screen which gave me concern as i had never seen this before.
  7. Yes your right Mark, the thing is that i have ever changed my view so didn't know that a blue strip is shown when its put into 3D mode, so when it just appeared i got concerned. I have had problem with the screen just going into searching mode every now and then, sometime it come straight back on other times it just stays in searching mode for my hole trip home ( 15 mins ). i have just had the latest update done, MM19, and this update is to cure this problem so i will see
  8. well that was embarrassing. lol. Steve you were right, i have had a fiddle and its gone, not sure what mode it was in, i don't normally touch anything once i have it how i want it
  9. i will have a look Steve, i don't think I have touched anything perhaps its in Summer mode, makes the sky look blue.lol.
  10. I was assuming that the display work's in sections, or in the case of a tv, pixels, and that the top section is faulty, but as you say hopefully its a easy fix or Lexus indeed take into consideration the age and millage of the car, ill keep you posted
  11. This error has just come up on my sat nav screen , a blue strip across the top of the screen. its booked in for Friday, they are going to do the latest update to MM19, and reset the screen neither of witch i think will solve the problem. i think it will need a new screen, the problem is the car is out of warranty, i didn't extend the warranty as the car only travels around 2,500 miles a year, it will be interesting to see what they say.
  12. The leather can be re sprayed back to black, I had a 450h a few years back with cream interior which i had done. , i am not sure what part of Kent you live in but i have the number of the guy that did mine, he did a good job, although this was a few years back so not sure if he is still around, if you would like his number PM me.
  13. The Lexus official website show the warranty cost for all models
  14. Clarkson and Co has never had anything good to say about Lexus car's, except for the LFA, and i am sure he did that through gritted teeth. Funny though how Quinton Willson was the person he always used to call for help every time his beloved Ford F40 broke down, and what did Quinton drive, O yes a Lexus.
  15. I had the same problem with the RC-F, I find the door sill very high, and with the large seat side bolsters it was slightly hard to get out even with the seat adjusted as high as it would go without my head hitting the head lining. i had my number 3 seat button set for the seat to go back as far as it would go, i found that helped a bit. Funny enough even though the LC is a slightly lower car i find it easer to get out than the RC-F, the door sill is much lower and the side seat bolsters are not so big.
  16. Yes i had a Thinkware U1000 fitted, not the cheapest on the market but a great bit of kit, very good quality recording.
  17. Yes i use Climate Concierge all the time, in fact i rarely touch anything, just set it at 21 and let it do its thing. Are you going to keep both LC's? Have you thought about any security for both of your LC's,?. I would recommend the Autowatch Ghost - ii system, around £400 fitted , its also Insurance approved Also what about a ceramic coating ?. the paint is very soft and prone to stone chips, although ceramic coating won't complete stop the chance of stone chips but it could help depending on how much motorway driving you intend to do.
  18. Hi Kevin I thought the review in general was a fair one, The only thing i completely disagree with, and this is with every review I have seen, is there opinion on the infotainment system, yes it does take a bit of getting use to, but here is the problem, they have the car for a couple of days and don't get the opportunity to really get used to it. The heated seats for example, if you have the heated seat/steering wheel setting on the right hand side of you screen, all you do is move the curser onto the seat or steering wheel icon and click, you don't have to search through loads of menu screens as they say. Most owners agree it's a bit of a nighnmare to start with, but then so would be from changing from a android phone to a Apple, until you had it a week or so.
  19. Hi Kevin Yes the ride did seem a bit softer, but i think they have changed the suspension set up from the 2018 model, I drove a 2020 model and that also seemed to be softer, about the same as the convertible.
  20. Hi Keven I know its sounds a bit confusing, and although my county is Kent, my area comes under a London borough so we will thankfully be in tier 2 I test drove the convertible last week, same colour combination as mine , very nice, slightly noisier inside the cabin with the top up, i did have the top down for a few miles just to get the feel I have never owned a convertible, and it has never really appealed to me. my reasons are The weather in the UK would probable only allow me to drive with the top down for 20% of its life. and i would consider the South, East / West of the country to be the warmer parts of the country, and if its to hot then i would have the roof up and the air con on. security, concerns about the soft top, damage ect. ( probably less so in the part of the country you live in ) Keeping the interior clean, driving around in the warmer, dryer and DUSTY conditions, again probably less so in the part of the country you live i. Due to the rearaty of soft top cars in general and even more so a Lexus would i have problems when it comes to selling it. which is why i always buy the top of the range with all the possible extras. Having said all this i really think that the LC in convertible form looks stunning, even more so with the top down but just not for me I hope you enjoy it when it arrives, and very much looking forward to the photos And best wishes to your wife Chris
  21. I was offered the same deal when i was at the dealership last week having my alloy repaired. The convertible is not for me due to the low millage I do and my unsociable working hours.
  22. Yes MM19 is a update, but you have to pay for the Apple Car Play part of the update unless you have a nice dealership. can take up to 5 hours to do ( with the engine running ) if you're only running at MM17 part 1, there is a part 2 & 3, them MM19 and then the Apple Car Play part. I am not sure if my 17 plate car can take the Apple Car Play part, to be honest i am not really interested in it
