  1. Hi and welcome. Beautiful IS you have. Hope you enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I use Autoglym on mine. Great stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Interesting about the Sat Nav. I'll check it out for mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Sounds good to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I had this on my CT. it's the Sat Nav. Mine is out of date but I'm not paying Lexus £150 to update it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. I'm after a new set for mine as they're getting scruffy. How much to post to Bournemouth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. I remember that perfume from years back. Such a disgusting smell. It made me feel sick too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. That's low for a 1year old [emoji15] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. She's a beauty. Well done and enjoy [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I'm pretty lucky with my Premier as I'm the only one that drives it so I never use the memory seat buttons. I don't even know how to set them haha. This is the most comfortable car I've ever owned and the first with leather. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I had this problem on a Nissan Primera I had and it turned out to be the wiper motor. I stripped it and re greased it (grease had gone hard) and it worked after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Hi I know on mine all the contacts are displayed alphabetically on the screen. Mines an iPhone though and my cars a pre 2014 model with the old software. I'm sure though it should come under Phone on the menu even with any phone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. You're welcome Rob as I'm trying to investigate this too for myself and information is very scarce. I've looked up on the parts catalogue for the CT but can't find any module relating to DAB on there either. If you have luck please let us know the outcome. Hope it all works for you.

  14. Just found this from the CT US Forum. Hope this helps but obviously didn't help that guy but gives its location. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Interesting I've the same model. From a dealer it's £495. You're lucky to get this unit. I was told by the dealer it is fitted behind the stereo in the centre console. I too have the heated front screen but it is not the element type you know. It just directs all hot air to the screen with air con on. It's perfectly safe to fit a DAB aerial to the screen. I'm not sure on the removal of the stereo I'm afraid. Looking at it I'd say the facia flips off probably leaving mounting screws underneath. It's something I've considered doing but refuse to pay the dealer price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Just a technical correction: the HV traction battery on our cars and on most other hybrids is Nickel Metal Hydride and not lithium. NiMH cells are far more robust and cope far better with high current charging and discharging than any lithium batteries can manage. But, yes, preventing them from fully charging or discharging is a deliberate feature to reduce battery stress fatigue and so ensures a long lifespan. . (Reference to NiMH is at 2 minutes into the video) Apologies for that. I knew it was one of them and I picked the wrong one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Stepping in late here. I found the Nav screen a nuisance too until I found the option too. I always keep mine on energy monitor although I still drive it like a normal car and get better mpg that way. I was told by Lexus that having an electric passenger seat was an option way back then. That must of cost some serious ££. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Hi and welcome. Glad you're liking the CT. mine is a SE L Premier too but in White with Black interior which I much prefer. I questioned with Lexus about the DAB too but I will not pay the £495 they were asking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. I haven't suffered in mine at all or in any other car I've owned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I generally do sometimes just to stop the mechanism from seizing through lack of use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Mine is noisey too on low profiles and I don't like the Goodyears that are on there now. Because the CT is so quiet inside road noise is all that you can hear and your ears picks it up more. When I travel faster my Stereo seems to get louder. I think it's an in built thing and I can't remember the exact name for it. I've got the ML sound system in mine so I guess it's standard with it. If you want to go to a higher profile tyre you'll have to change your wheels to 16" as said. Putting 50 profile tyres on a 17" wheel will put your speedo out quite a way and shouldn't be advised. Sound deadening is a good idea but I don't think it will kill all the noise but will certainly help it. I'm going to search around for better tyres as I feel the Goodyears are certainly harder but being a hybrid car the tyres are reinforced which doesn't help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. This is as far as mine fills on a normal drive just a moment ago. Pretty normal. I haven't tried hills as there isn't any where I live. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. I'm constantly told by Toyota and Lexus that they'll outlast the car. No reported incidents yet(that I know of). My CT battery is 5 years old and 70K. Still 100% healthy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Yes mine nearly gets there except for a tiny gap at the top which is normal apparently. Prius owners too can never fill the meter up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I also drive buses but I'm a bus fitter. We only have the same as garages use which are the disposable type and would like to find a better type for when I move the CT in the yard with my overalls on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
