  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. What year was the car first registered, as a working TPMS system is an MoT requirement on cars after 2015
  4. What does your insurer think to the modification? Mine refused to cover me if I did it on the Merc I had
  5. To start building? Could be 6-8 months depending on orders, parts supply etc..
  6. 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.
  7. Have you checked the Customisation section in your owner's handbook?
  8. Don't leave the transmission in N as the system can't recharge the hybrid battery even if the engine is running.
  9. "Approximately 80% of the vehicles on UK roads already meet minimum ULEZ emissions standards: Euro 4 for petrol (from January 2006) and the tougher Euro 6 for diesel (from September 2015). This means that every petrol or petrol-electric hybrid Lexus produced since January 2006 is ULEZ compliant and therefore exempt from paying this surcharge." https://mag.lexus.co.uk/london-congestion-charge-ulez/#:~:text=This means that every petrol,exempt from paying this surcharge.
  10. Make sure you are formatting to FAT32 not the default ExFAT Windows now uses, the car cannot recognise ExFAT. I had to use a third party app to force the formatting to FAT32
  11. On average I probably give the car a wipe down every couple of days, maybe every day depending on the conditions.. To do the wheels I now have to sit on the same box I use to reach the centre of the RX roof, my knees are shot!
  12. Another quote from that article.. "It is even worth considering the possibility that Lexus may not of had a problem with their LS400 models at all. If done right, a company can provide ‘excellent’ customer service if they fabricate a fixable issue and then provide first-class service while fixing the issue." Was it simply a publicity stunt? Or was it a cautious reaction to a potentially dangerous fault? Either way it only concerned a relatively small number of vehicles Not the same as a 'simple' loss of a car due to the ingenuity of car thieves. Potentially involving many hundreds of thousands of vehicles..
  13. Is this after declaring themselves independent? 🤓 😉
  14. Presumably because they believe it is unsafe? No reason to mention it otherwise and I personally wouldn't second guess it..
  15. Trunk Monkey may result in prosecution for keeping a primate in unsuitable accommodation.... 😉
  16. Yellow is a very rare colour, for a very good reason. It's not at all popular! If you are getting offers to buy it, bite their hand off. You could be waiting a long time for the special person who wants a high mileage, yellow IS200
  17. Top spec is always the Takumi, although you can get more tech in an F-Sport with Takumi spec. My guess is the Takumi will be more 'luxurious' with softer seats and suspension. You need to get out in one or two examples because I think you might find it difficult to equal the comfort/ride quality of the GS
  18. I posted something similar regarding the accuracy of the speed limit warning. Seems the car's GPS/maps overides the camera recognition?
  19. Page 785 under Customisations in the ■ RSA (Road Sign Assist) section The setting procedure is on page 476
  20. One can also delete the destination, thereby cancelling the route guidance, (page 93 in the Nav manual) Press the “MAP” button on the Remote Touch. Select *** on the map screen. Select “Route” When a destination is set Select “Delete”. Select “Yes”.
  21. I found these articles quite helpful in understanding negative voltages. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/technical-articles/can-voltage-be-negative-understanding-negative-voltage/ http://www.learningaboutelectronics.com/Articles/What-is-negative-voltage
  22. Locking wheel nuts were always a dealer, or at least post assembly, fit. Personally I wouldn't bother these days
