    The link in the OP is to the online brochure but is it for the 2023 model? When I bought my second RC the 2019 facelift, the brochure was wildly inaccurate! When I took possession of the car there were differences from what I was expecting. Lexus CS apologised and offered a number of freebies.

    Ditto, my first Mercedes was treated with Supagard and there was a large kit bag in the boot with all sorts of stuff, one of which was the bird dropping remover. Not sure what the formulation was but it didn't perform any better than warm water! Bottom line is if you don't get to the offending deposit whilst still wet the damage is done and nothing works better than copious amounts of warm water....

    The system is reactive not predictive, so it takes a few wipes before it can assess how heavily the rain is failing. Very fine rain can require a different setting to heavy 'summer' rain. I found the system worked well on both my RCs and on my RX. Better than the system on the Mercs, where no adjustment was possible. Also be aware it is possible to set the wipers to intermittent operation, check the handbook. I think patience is sometimes required for the system to settle down

    On many models it's a customisable feature that needs to be enabled by the dealer. P.S. Does one have to start the engine to close the windows, can one not simply turn to ACC ?

    Whatever someone is prepared to pay for it... Depends on how long you are willing to wait for the 'right' person to come along. RCF are quite rare beasts, so a small market... Try contacting the numerous plate traders on the web, many offer a valuation service

    Yep one doesn't have to twiddle that little lever at the top of the windscreen 😁

    One can temporarily disable the tilt and internal motion sensors, which is all that's needed. The immobilizer will always be set when locking. Check your handbook for the required button, often found in the overhead panel.

    Not so sure, that article was published 17 December 2013. I don't see any evidence of the technology being used today?

    Whatever you do, don't actually kick the sensor (as suggested in that list), just kick quickly in and out under the bumper. Do the other methods of opening the tailgate work?

    I thought run-flats weren't repairable, full stop? Tyre shops can't determine if the carcass has been damaged due to excess speed or mileage whilst deflated.

    From another forum... Seems the car was identified as a TDV6 (from the reg plate)

    What I find curious about this is the position of the car. It's not parked but seems to have been in the process of coming/going? Also people have obviously tried to extinguish the fire, spent extinguishers standing around the vehicle. Plus just how long did it take for the fire brigade to arrive? Timings from the video and the FB report suggests approx 1hr?

    You could try these folks, yes in Japan but they do drive on the left out there! https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/811306a111

    To be fair my dealer has always been just that but they cannot 'beat the system' as it were!

    Yes, Lexus are strictly 'by the book'! As the wheels you like are so new it may be that there are no independent sources, yet. I was fortunate in that the wheels I liked were available on another RC model and so my dealer suggested they could take a VIN from that model to order the additional set. I decided to stay with the originals in the end. Wheels are very expensive!
  16. NemesisUK
    When ordering my first RC I asked if it were possible to change the wheels for a type offered on a 'lower' spec model. I was told, no. Lexus do not give free selection and the only options are those Lexus offer in the brochure. It was suggested I take the original wheels as included and purchase a set of the ones I preferred (Lexus very happy to sell extra!) and then sell on those I didn't like. Might be an option for you? As for getting to see the wheels you want, you may have to accept you will need to travel. Perhaps your dealer could enquire if there is a car somewhere closer for you?

    Pretty much any good tyre shop can supply them

    It's free for the first 3 years from new (the date of first registration).
  19. NemesisUK
    Totally free of charge ...

    Had the protection plates fitted, no problems. The dealership was most accommodating. Lexus are listening and have reacted to the evolving situation.

    Not sure why, or how, the horn should go off if the battery is flat? Personally I would leave the CTEK attached permanently that's what it's designed for. See if the battery recovers after being on charge for 24hrs, otherwise a new battery and leave the CTEK doing it's job until you want to drive the car.

    A gap in service history is in itself not an issue, Relax warranty will be in force after the dealer services the car but any issues found in that service will not be covered, they need to be corrected before Relax kicks in for the next 12 months. Of course the car must be under 10yrs old and less than 100k miles to qualify

    Greyed out option tends to suggest a failed module. You need to get the codes read.

    New models are now using UWB and motion sensitive fobs (not 100% on the latter) Manufacturers are always playing catch-up as thieves crack the latest security features. I remember thieves using half a tennis ball over the car door lock, a sharp thump and the lock popped open! How about adopting thumb print locks? Or face recognition, voice activation ....

    What position have other marques taken, in relation to theft prevention?
