  1. Well yes, but the tyres were only changed 2k miles a go and the set that had come off were evenly worn all across. Not sure what happened between then and now
  2. I don't think you can unless you leave the headlights in the ON position and they time out after a certain time or if you double press the lock button on the key
  3. The service does. The warranty doesnt The tyres and alignment aren't. But the problem is they don't know if it's the tyres or the wheel bearing causing this noise. Tbh I don't even know if the tyres need changing. Surely an alignment would balance it out. It's only 1.5mm difference across the tyre
  4. Its part of the T&C's. Relax is only 12 months from the date of the last service and the service has a 1 month/1000 mile leeway. So basically if you book the service even a day after then it's not covered. Learning point noted. I'll be booking the service a day in advance from now on at the very least, the only reason I had it late this year was because I went on holiday!
  5. It's in for a service and mot now. Passed the MOT no advisories They're saying the front tyres have worn on the inside. 1.5mm between outside and inside. Tyres were only changed 2000 miles ago and the set that came off were evenly worn all across They're also suspecting an offside rear wheel bearing. The advice they've given is change the front tyres, alignment and change wheel bearing and the noise should go. The Relax apparently doesn't apply because my service was on 5th Jan last year and today its on the 10th 🙄 £1400 down the gutter. Oh well. As long as it fixes the racket I'll be happy.
  6. So for the past 2-3 weeks Ive started noticing a strange rumbling noise in the RX450h. Its just ticked over 52k miles. No vibrations or funny noises at idle and no lights on the dashboard. Seems to be worse at 50-60mph and when letting off the throttle and theres a very faint vibration that can be felt in the carpets. Its doing crap MPG too. Normally at 70mph its doing 30-35mpg, Ive not got any more than 24mpg out of it now! Any ideas?
  7. Its usually more the driving than it is the car Every car will get stone chips if sat behind a truck at 60mph on the motorway....
  8. Could be a broken spring. Turn the steering wheel to the affected side and see if you spot anything. You dont need to change anything else. Some springs dont require changing both sides. I know Mercedes springs they only change one side
  9. I think there's multiple factors. A number of people count the German brands as more premium. Only we know they aren't. The other issue is the lineup. There's no hatchback, no rwd saloons of C class or E class size for example. At the end of the day, the ES is still almost 5m long and it's seats don't drop. There simply isn't enough choice for different types of buyers.
  10. The UX has both chademo and a type 2 socket. Ive almost always charged at home so its never been an issue
  11. Hilarious. Even a 6 month wait is normal nowadays
  12. It's genuine. Plenty of forum users have used them in the past. Some for very expensive items You might have to pay customs but it'll be like £40 at most I reckon.
  13. Steering rack isn't going to change it if it's crabbing which it sounds like it is due to cold tyres skipping across the surface
  14. Sounds like crabbing maybe? I get it on my RX too Other option is leave the car at the dealer overnight and show them first thing in the morning. Or record it.
  15. To be honest the squeaky rear suspension over bumps has been the case on all my RXs since new. I don't think there's anything wrong and it's not got worse. As above you shouldn't use recirculation in winter. Additionally under 5 degrees or so the condenser stops working as it's at risk of freezing.
  16. Yes of course. The results matter but only so much. I didn't see enough effort from the England team or their manager. I don't believe a team should win by flukes or luck but it does happen. I certainly don't think England deserved to go any further than they did. These are international players with years of training and experience. They literally don't do anything else but play football for a job. Harry Kane isn't a 21 year old playing his first world cup match and should have scored. Literally got handed to him on a gold plate. I'd expect him to score, the same way id expect a doctor to treat me appropriately if I'm unwell
  17. Bit late but... Poor effort from England. As per usual half the interesting players were on the bench or substituted with 10 mins left and Harry Kane seems to like shooting pigeons. Harry Maguire on the other hand thinks he's playing a friendly match crossing to another planet. Saka was tactically taken down by the French that he was essentially handicapped and Bellingham is training for the Oscars. Overall France looked a better team. England were quite clearly hesitant in their gameplay and plan. Let's not forget these players train for years and years and get paid millions. Harry Kane missing a vital penalty is unforgivable at this level
  18. Better off with a VW Up though. Its a better all round vehicle
  19. Well technically it wasnt the dealer but a bodyshop that they use in their dealer group
  20. Its horrendous. Worst car Ive driven and Ive driven a fair few. Got them twice as courtesy cars when my car went into Lexus for repair. The X-shift gearbox is a motorized manual and its very jerky. The car itself is extremely slow to the point where its dangerous and the engine is very unrefined. Id also be weary of the size of the car. Its so small that theres no real useable boot and any accident more than 40mph with another car is probably going to be fairly catastrophic. Im not joking when I say my son's previous very old 2006 VW Polo is a better car and I would suspect the Honda Jazz is too
  21. Thought it was a rubbish match to be honest. I don't think England showed anything more than beating a weak team. Senegal looked drab, dont think half of their passes even went to their own players. I do think there's a lot of hype over England, pretty much all the time but they seem to scrape through in the euros and world cup against pretty weak teams. Their groups always seem to be some of the easiest.
