    Interesting.. The handbook shows turning to the left locks the door.. ■ Opening the trunk Turn the mechanical key clockwise to open.

    You need to clean/vacuum the vents that supply cooling air to the battery. Check out this thread

    According to the maintenance doc I posted above the HV battery should be recharged every 2 months It also recommends disconnecting the auxiliary battery -ve terminal if storing for more than 30days. Obviously one would have to reconnect to perform the HV recharge cycle

    You can reset the benchmark pressure at which the TPMS will light the indicator. You just need to follow the reset procedure shown in the handbook, after finding the reset button low in the driver's footwell panel.

    As I understand it these things come in coded blocks, to change one thing others have to change also. Unless you can get the tech used to code units as they do on the production line, I don't hold out much hope. There was a chap posting on the forum who had that sort of knowledge but iirc he was from USA. Forget any dealership entertaining the idea...

    This would probably require the coding to be changed to N.America/Canada region and likely to impact many other subsystems that wouldn't be compatible with driving in the EU region I enquired about coding the adaptive headlamps on my RX to come on at lower speeds and change pattern/spread as is the case in Europe but unfortunately not possible

    Who advised you?

    I retro-fitted headlamp washers to my C class Merc and it took my trusted indie ages to figure out the wiring as the loom was there (it was the same for the windscreen washer) but important control wires were missing within it. Does the dash of the IS have the solar sensor dome fitted? Or even a location for it?

    I took out a service plan via the official Lexus website and payments are collected by Planmyservice LLP on behalf of Lexus UK (although in the body of the contract the service plan provider is identified as eDynamix UK Limited,) It is not tied to any franchise and services can be done in any Lexus/Toyota dealership in the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man, or the Channel Islands.

    "If it ain't broke don't fix it" It will always cost the dealership to apply software updates in time/money by tying up a bay and pc. There's always the potential for unforeseen problems.

    I agree, a very reasonable modification for many valid reasons. In my case the front flexible pipes had perished so seemed a good time to 'upgrade'. Oh, no. Not according to my then insurers (Direct Line) who said they would refuse to cover me if I fitted braided pipes as it would label me as an enthusiastic/aggressive driver and a greater risk. Fitting lowered coil-over suspension only incurred a £50 increase in premium. Perhaps it was a 'mod to far' ...

    Sounds like it needs a good "Italian tune-up" immediately prior to the test. Take the car out for some high (legal) speed running at high revs and strong acceleration for a good 30mins

    I think the warming due to friction in use will overshadow any ambient temperature effects. Even on the smoothest of surfaces the shock is constantly vibrating

    What year was the car first registered, as a working TPMS system is an MoT requirement on cars after 2015
  19. NemesisUK
    What does your insurer think to the modification? Mine refused to cover me if I did it on the Merc I had
  20. NemesisUK
    You really need to get the codes read using Techstream. Otherwise it's just guessing

    To start building? Could be 6-8 months depending on orders, parts supply etc..

    Still working for me. Recorded my drive out today

    Nothing stopping one from turning them on manually.. That said my Mercedes had the auto lights on with wipers, as it's a requirement in Germany.

    Have you checked the Customisation section in your owner's handbook?

    Don't leave the transmission in N as the system can't recharge the hybrid battery even if the engine is running.
