    I'd take leather as I like the character it gains in usage, a patina if you like. My experience with alcantara, whilst being very comfortable, it shows signs of wear by the pile flattening and it can be difficult to keep clean. Horses for courses, we are all different and there is no 'correct' choice!

    Don't do it, there are other things that rely on the steering wheel angle. As mentioned above the clock spring can easily be broken if turned too far. Centering should be done by adjusting the track rod ends. I'm guessing whoever did the alignment only adjusted the one side

    It will have recommended cleaning info in your handbook. A damp cloth is usually all that's needed

    I don't think so. In my experience Dunlops wear much faster than the Michelin

    I have always favoured Michelin tyres. They wear well and keep their grip level right down to the 3mm limit when I renew tyres. I certainly wouldn't class them as soft though, that's why they last so well.

    50ltres of V-Power 😉

    I used to put 2 or 3 paving slabs in the boot to aide traction, worked very well 🤠 There was a brief period where studded tyres were the thing to have, great on compacted snow or ice but lethal on dry roads! Think they got banned after one season?

    Family and friends drive their RWD Mercedes and BMWs all over southern Germany and the Alps throughout winter and never have a problem. Winter tyres used to be mandatory but now just recommended but should one be involved in an incident that the police believe was contributed to by not having winter tyres they throw the book at you! Tyres are everything when driving in adverse conditions.

    It's not rear wheel drive or the car, it's all about tyres. Winter or all season tyres will allow the car's systems to perform as designed.

    That function disappears randomly on my app also. Always reappears after a couple of days or less and all journeys are recorded. The My Lexus app is rather flaky, to say the least!

    My Mercedes levelled up on parking, particularly noticeable if the ground was uneven

    Yes, at least on my RC and RX but must admit 30sec to a minute seems a long time. I tend to hear it only for approx 5sec

    Have you tried adjusting the image quality using the adjustments in the setup menu?
  17. NemesisUK
    It's generally advised to get the suspension geometry checked after fitting new tyres, so the old tyre wear doesn't throw the measurements.

    The screen is the multimedia display and I had similar in my RC when the sat nav suddenly died., luckily it was under warranty still. If it is the multimedia unit that has died then an aftermarket version could be installed, utilising the existing display. Have a Google there are many (Chinese) alternatives...

    When looking to change my RC I looked at both the NX and the RX and in my opinion the RX comes out as more luxurious and better appointed than the NX. The RX is also roomier the the NX but there's not much in it.

    Brake pressure pump topping up the reservoir?

    This time of year the engine will kick in to maintain cabin temperature as well as keeping the traction battery charged.
  22. NemesisUK
    I've not found a way with either my RC or the RX. Maybe using Techstream?

    Has the transmission fluid ever been changed?
  24. NemesisUK
    My first thought would be to get a second opinion, just to confirm the diagnosis. Not sure in my mind how the CVT could fail and cause vibration? Damper plate, yes but ...

    My RC300h was great to cruise along in but put the transmission into Sport mode and play with the paddle shifters and the car did a very good impression of a sports car, with realistic gear changes, very PlayStation like, much quicker than any other autobox with manual option. The RX450h is no sports car in any guise but with plenty of power from the 3.5ltr V6 it wafts along very smoothly, I don't feel the need to be 'sporty' It simply covers distance very quickly and effortlessly.
