  1. Thank-you I've just bought x4 of these - 600 + 90 tracking *gulp* but a price I'm prepared to pay to keep my family safe :)
  2. I bought a GROM unit and it works great with my iphone 5s. Very easy to install took about 15 mins.
  3. Hi Rayaans I need to replace x2 of my tyres on my 400h, the Michelin Lattitudes sound great - are these them?
  4. I came back from a family Holiday, East Riding to France and back via the Euro tunnel, 2250 miles, avg mpg 29.8. Stuck to a GPS measured 81mph on cruise control on all motorways. Met friends who arrived from Portsmouth in their Volvo XC90, he was avg 32mpg, but I'm sure mine is better around town ie most of my driving. The RX behaved impeccably, incredibly refined and comfortable, felt safe during torrential storms (worst weather I've ever driven in on Sunday). Awesome car :) Wish it had a bit more boot space, my mates XC90 has much more, though it doesn't seem much longer.
  5. Hi LexlS200Sport thanks for the advice, I deleted the paired bluetooth and then fixed it, didn't bother with the battery.
  6. Hi, I fitted a new Grom unit about 3 months ago, for some reason its stopped working about 2 weeks ago. The Grom can be seen in my iphone 5s under BT but when I click on it to connect it says it cant. Any body got any ideas why it would stop working? I haven't changed anything on the car, or on my iphone as far as I know. I'm on holiday in 3 weeks and need to get it fixed before I leave - help! :)
  7. What are the optional extras on a 400h aside from the SE-L rear screens/dvds?
  8. I'll second Gregsters comments - mine is a 2006 and its the most refined comfortable car I've ever owned, lovely car to drive and looks like it cost twice what I paid for it now I have my private reg plate on it..
  9. Hi mate, I bought my RX from a garage in Hull a few months ago and that also had a detachable towbar (westfalia). Mine was under the boot (one of the two pop up storage spaces in a leather zipped bag). I was quoted £420 to have a detachable tow bar fitted - before I realised it already had one! doh!
  10. I think its up to the individual to do the research and make a decision, if you haven't done the research regarding mpg/running costs etc I have little sympathy. Obviously if your circumstances have changed and your budget has then fair enough that's unforeseen. I've had my 2006 RX for just over 2 months now and while I've had to become acclimatised to filling up a lot more having come from a 46mpg Honda Civic, you just can't compare the two vehicles. Theres more to driving and ownership than just mpg - comfort, luxury, features, solidity, lifestyle, flexibility, prestige, all these things count to me and while yes I've worked out I'll be paying several hundreds pounds more a year in petrol, I'm hoping that the legendary lexus running costs will offset that. Personally my wife and I and my daughter really like the Lexus for all the reasons I've outlined. Its a lot of car for the money and I'm avg 33mpg :) Easily do 37 on a 50/60mph run which considering the performance and size is astonishingly good.
  11. Stupid question but hoe do i change the time on the digital clock? I cannot find instructions in handbook.
  12. I think mine has orange illuminated door sills, did they change the colour? Mine is a 2006.
  13. Drove to Derby at the weekend and back to the East Riding - avg mileage currently stands at 29mpg - which I don't think is too bad. And boy that thing can shift if it needs too, surprised a few drivers lol - I've found my driving style has become more relaxed in the Lexus, on the motorway with cruise control on its a very easy and comfortable car to drive - I like it a lot!
  14. Well I finally managed to sort it (well a friend did!) - you have to pull the handle outwards and that releases the ball bearings, which let it snap into place. Also managed to get the cycle rack fitted :)
  15. Hi I've had my RX400 over a week now and love it. However, the westfalia detachable tow bar it came with just doesn't seem to fit. You push it vertically up and its supposed to use ball bearings to fix itself and then you lock it with a key. However, it just doesn't fit when you push it up, its a good 1" or so from and sits proud. I've taken photos to show the towbar - any of your thoughts/suggestions would be most welcome, I was planning on fitting my bike carrier but I'm scuppered until I resolve this issue. Thanks for looking.
  16. Driving around town over the last 5 days commuting to work, (4 mile journey each way) I'm averaging around 24mpg, but there are some hills. Does that sound about right?
  17. Over the last 3 days commuting to work which is only about a 4 mile each way trip (so I should imagine the engine only just gets warm) - I've avg 25 mpg, which doesn't sound too bad around town? Have yet to take it on a trip but I might be going to Derby at the weekend.
  18. After searching on the web, it seems you can't reset your avg fuel without performing the ISC procedure? Is it safe to do this? Should this only be done when replacing or reconnecting the battery or am I ok to go ahead? What does it do exactly?
  19. Hi Tonio, I'd be interested to hear your RX experiences, furthest I've traveled in mine is 4 miles to work!
  20. Siri isn't a bad idea(as long as its improved since the iphon4 which was awful) though you do have to activate it on your phone first - thanks for the tips :)
  21. Good point Dan - thanks i'll do that tonight :) what are you/others getting btw for comparison?
