  1. Does sound like a 12v battery. Some of them can be a bit funny and will cause all sorts of lights on the dash. It's very easy to say send it back but in practice it won't get sorted for a long time if going down this route and the issues sound easily fixable
  2. I think you're going to need to take it to a detailer and put a proper ceramic coating on it Something like Ceramic pro which requires a yearly maintenance - Would be about £750 to do it and £150 a year annually but its guaranteed for 5-10 years depending on which package you get
  3. Normal. Likely moisture in the air causing a thin layer of rust on the brake discs overnight. Takes a few stops to remove the layer of rust especially on the hybrid where some of the braking is done regeneratively.
  4. Go for OEM. Lexus parts direct should have what you're looking for
  5. Yep can be repaired but needs to be done by a professional. Might not look exactly the same but it'll be much better than it is now
  6. Id suggest using something like Vehicle Smart app to keep track of everything. When its time for MOT/Service - book it through the dealerships website rather than the Lexus website, for example Lexus Leeds is part of Vantage group so I book it directly through the Vantage website
  7. Any wheel cleaner will do. Ideally shouldnt be using a wheel cleaner every wash - the wheels need sealing and then a normal car shampoo should suffice
  8. Its either a loose connection or a dead unit. You can try replacing the unit but the parts are hard to come by.
  9. I wouldnt think many LC500's have Likely it will be a Lexus genuine screen but you will need the radar and safety systems calibrating afterwards. What colour is yours? The Sonic red is a PITA to respray as are most of the 4 stage colours
  10. Nothing really to look out for on them to be honest. The only thing I can think of is it wont go under the Lexus Relax warranty scheme as itll be over 10 years old but if that doesnt bother you then its fine
  11. It is leather but modern leather is so processed nowadays it really will be no issue
  12. I think if you compare a non F-Sport GS to an F-Sport ES its probably going to lose out.
  13. Will be absolutely fine. Just ensure the dash is regularly protected with a matt interior dressing with UV protectors
  14. I doubt its due to heat Either someone has been in there trying to remove it or its had a knock.
  15. Every car with AC will leave puddles of water underneath the car. Maybe more so in warmer weather.
  16. Yep as said - felt pad. They're not usually stuck down but firmly placed. They will get sucked onto a good vacuum so I reckon thats probably whats happened
  17. Suppose I was lucky in a sense. I had it replaced 4 years ago. My car is a Feb 2016 and it started around 20k miles. They diagnosed and replaced within a week at that point too.
  18. https://www.eurocarparts.com/wiper-blades?Brands=Denso Just measure your blades and get the Denso ones. They're the OEM blades anyway and much cheaper than getting Lexus refills
  19. Its very difficult to get dye from jeans out of leather. There are some dye remover products out there but generally speaking once its there, its there, hence why light leather needs to be sealed immediately before using
  20. I put it to the highest providing it reduces the premium. Often you'll find a sweet spot at which point if you increase the excess amount it wont make a massive difference to the premium itself so its almost a balancing act. I tend to go for higher excesses though as if its not your fault, youll reclaim the excesses through your legal cover (essential in my view). It also stops you from claiming for every little thing If its your fault then you just cough it up I guess.
