    You’d get a good bit of evidence on how close the other vehicle was with the wide field of view from most cameras.

    I think I would carefully disconnect all the wires from the 13 pin plug making a note of what goes where. Also make sure none of them are connected together further up the loom and then see how things go.

    The biggest danger with using a trickle charger is remembering to disconnect it before driving off..

    Just noticed, it’s a “dumpy” screwdriver, not one you have passed thru your system....

    Fitted them when I had a 2016 NX, easy enough to do. Turn the front wheels to full lock to give you clearance for the screws and clips. For the rears, it easier to Jack the car up a bit to give you more space. You’ll need a small dump screwdriver if I remember correctly.

    It could be the “connected services” stuff for receiving sat nav and other stuff. I keep getting a similar message every few minutes even though I have tried deleting and re entering my log in and password. As I’ve mentioned in another post, it could be that the car is trying to log into Lexus.eu which has now been closed. Think it should be the Lexus.uk site.

    Been having problems with Connected Services for a while now. Constantly getting the message that it’s not available, please log in. Tried deleting my username and password and then re-entering them, but still can’t connect. Just wondering if the system is trying to log into the Lexus EU site which is now closed. The main question is does anyone know how to sort this, or stop the annoying message popping up. Either one will do.

    Also check and make sure the ventilation it isn’t stuck on recirculate.

    I don’t bother about the clock, just have a look at my watch when I’m turning right....

    Could be worse, if they fitted a sun dial it’d get confused on a roundabout....

    Can’t wait to see what the new full electric model is like.

    Not too shabby.

    Jumped into the car today and it looks as though the PAX front window was open very slightly. Up pops a message on the dash asking if I want to open or close the window. First time I’ve seen that one.

    There should be a setting somewhere, but can’t think of it at the moment. I have mine set showing the radio on the main part and sat nav on the small section on the right of the screen. It always starts up showing the warning about sat nav, and then changes after a couple of seconds to my usual settings.

    Roger, they are still called anti roll bars, but then again I’m an old fart from the last century.🤭🤭

    Gloves with the string backs ???

    Well we’ll just have to have a different outlook on this matter, but I’m going with decades in and around vehicle maintenance in multiple countries throughout the world. But remember, letters after your name doesn’t mean that your the brightest bulb in the fitting, just look at the political spectrum. 🤪🤪

    If that’s the case, then why do many pad/shoe manufacturers supply small sachets of copper based lubricant with pad/shoe kits. The motor trade in general has been using copper based grease for decades and continue to do so. If there was an issue with this, then surely the public, vehicle manufacturers and various government bodies would object just in case legal vultures got involved. As far as it goes with calliper slide pins, yes, the red grease is the correct one to use.

    Anyone who fills up with fuel must have money to burn 🤪😜🤡

    I’d only wire it to a permanent feed if a power magic pro was installed as well. That way it will cut power when the battery gets to a pre determined level so you don’t flatten it. Used one for several years now on three different cars and never had a problem.

    Done the same thing when I had my IS including the body side mouldings, mine was also the same colour as yours.

    Last year with Direct Line I paid £650 and it went up to £680 this year with £250 compulsory excess. Done a price comparison online and it came up with £410 with a £400 excess with Debenhams. Phoned up Direct Line and they immediately matched the comparison price without any problem and still have the guaranteed hire car, legal cover etc.

    Probably a fault with the engine rather than the gearbox. If it was a gearbox fault, then the revs would rise without the car moving. Maybe have a look at the signal from the accelerator pedal to the engine throttle body. Not sure if a generic OBD scanner will be able to show the voltage change as the pedal is pressed.

    Looks as though it’s only in the paper copy so far.

    Well I must say that just scanning the highlights my gast has well and truly been flabbered. Lexus UX 1st place with 4 stars and BMW X2 2nd place with 3.5 stars. But then again, did I not read something about the BMW being a mix with another manufacturer.
