I have the SE L Premier which has all that and more but I don’t know what the facelift equivalent is.
Sorry not much help to you.

I’m 6’4” and don’t have no trouble at all and the seat isn’t fully back.

Sounds rubbish to me.
I’ve heard mine once in it’s 7 year life.
Nothing and no one goes in the back of my CT.

Hi
Yes it’s possible to to do no problem. You have to remove the bumper first to gain access. Then it’s a simple swap over.

Agree about Audi,s etc. My Octavia tdi threw a rod at 70K.
I had it from new and was serviced at the right intervals right up until it happened. It was a well known fault with that year 1.9 tdi but Skoda never done a thing about it.
The way I look at hybrids is that generally the engine doesn’t equate to the cars total mileage due to the fact that you are doing a lot of mileage on electric only with no engine running. Obviously different if you do a lot of motorway miles all the time.
What I can’t understand is why in the US they have so many problems with the CT when none is recorded here. The same goes for the Prius there too with the same engine.

It’s totally pointless changing the oil before 10K. I let mine go 15K once before it was changed and it was still a clear gold colour then. These engines don’t get stressed because of its a hybrid and not always running like a normal engine. My 2011 hasn’t used any oil at all between services and now on 94K.
I have read on US forms that some have used 15/30 oil which has cured a lot of consumption. It’s still within the correct grades for the engine.

As said check the water for soapy feeling. Could be the tailgate seal or even the tailgate striker needing adjustment as it may not be closing tight enough.
It won’t be the rear light units as they are bolted on the outside of the body.
Update us with the result [emoji1360]

Welcome and what a beauty [emoji1360]
The best colour too!
I came from a Suzuki Swift Sport as that suspension was hard but it certainly drove well.
I love mine and yes the suspension is firm but not uncomfortable. Just love the Lexus luxury.

Strange. My 2011 has never suffered from misting unlike my previous Skoda Octavia which was more damp inside than out.

You can shift into neutral on the CT. I always do if I want to roll it out of the garage to do something.
Without pressing the Brake press the power button twice to ignition on and select neutral.
I’ve left mine once for a month and it was fine. It’s a 2011 with an original Battery.

Mines on 94K and never uses any oil in between 10K services.

EGR and pipes.
Done mine 2 years ago with carb cleaner. It’s never come back.

It’s a simple plug and play set up.

I have a 2011 SE L Premier and yes it’s harsh but compared to my previous 2015 Suzuki Swift Sport the CT is soft.
I drove a facelift model and found absolutely no difference at all. I don’t want to go down The aftermarket route as I’ve had enough of that from previous cars.
I’m quite happy with it as it is.

I use Redex. £4 a bottle in Tesco.
With the carb cleaner I just completely soaked everything on the EGR. Sprayed it on all parts.

Has been known that the drop links can make this noise.

I did give it a quick squirt with carb cleaner in the EGR and pipe. There were no error codes at all.
To this day it hasn’t done it again. Monthly I give it a shot of fuel injector cleaner which makes a difference.

When they’re set to Auto they stay on when you switch the power switch off but they will go out when you open the drivers door. That’s what mine does.

You could try turning the interior motion sensor off first to see if that stops the alarm going off.

Found these too but as for locations it’s a bit vague.

Also one more fusebox behind the glovebox.

Why are the mirror controls over complicated?
I find them very basic and easy.
