    My iPhone SE (2022) fits in the slot. But appreciate by modern standards it's quite a small phone. What I would say is that position is too low down to be looking at the phone for Sat-Nav purposes while driving. Dangerous TBH. I use a magnetic puck attached to centre air vent, works really well and looks neat too.

    Mine has these marks too. Annoying, especially this time of year with the low sun.

    My previous car (Skoda) had one. Not luxurious in any way.

    Welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear you cat was stolen. Which part of the country was it?
  5. northernstar
    there was a place in the uk a few years ago selling these or something very similar.
  6. northernstar
    this is useful thanks. would i need to replace the tray that goes over this?
  7. northernstar
    Had this happen to me on all 4 tyres, they were the original Lexus caps too. The nice man at qwik fit replaced them all FOC 👍

    Honestly the built in nav is so crap, not even worth spending 50p never mind £50 to get it working, but up to you of course. I use Waze on my phone with one of those magnet things in the heater vent which attaches to mag-safe on back of phone. Rests nicely on the dash and looks neat enough. works great for nav, bluetooth for internet radio, spotify etc.

    Reversed into hedges, fence posts, bollards etc. Good times.

    It's just a crappy bit of felt. You could probably get something very close the original for a few pennies from an arts and crafts shop. you obviously just need to cut it to the correct shape.

    My CT is 10 years old @80k miles, the original factory supplied battery is still going strong. Love this car.

    Mine has the same and from time to time this annoys me. Always thought it strange they aren't covered but assumed the reason was it's something to do with the airbag inflating could potentially cause a cover to fly off and could be hazardous.

    What is a BX sub?

    Sorry to hear and hope you are ok. Maybe you can refinance at a better rate ie buy yourself out with a loan and transfer into your wife's name?

    those wingbars stick out at the side, perfectly positioned to whack your head on as you get into or out of the car 😂 the oem lexus 'flushbars' and the thule equivalent dont have that functionality, which is a bonus.

    Agree, the Yokohamas do look better.
  17. northernstar
    Michelin Cross Climate 2 are very good. Seem to be quieter than the Yokohamas, better in the wet too.

    +1 that perhaps the cable can be reseated. would try first.

    Rust

    northernstar replied to a topic in Lexus CT 200h Club

    Perhaps there has been a coolant leak that has gone unnoticed and over time that can cause corrosion. I had a look at my 2012 in the same area as yours, there is some rust but very light surface rust. Nothing like what is visible in the photos that you shared. Good luck and keep us all posted with your progress.

    Rust

    northernstar replied to a topic in Lexus CT 200h Club

    Can't say I've noticed any rust anywhere on my 2012 F-Sport. Do you have any photos you could share? Would be happy to take a look on my CT to see how it compares.
  21. northernstar
    Yes it's possible but it is garbage. I just use my iPhone and Waze.
  22. northernstar
    I would usually turn the heated seat on and use 'Auto' set to 21. My CT takes less than 5 minutes to warm up, even on the coldest days. The aircon / heater in the CT works better than any other car I have owned.

    Personally I wouldn't bother with the insurance claim. It will cost you much more than £264 if you go down that route. I've used the ChipsAway and was initially unsure. Went with my gut feeling, as the guy seemed decent / competent / professional. He did a good job. Now I'm a bit older and wiser, probably wouldn't even bother getting a scratch repaired these days. But my CT is 10yo now. I'll keep the CT until it dies (or I do - haha).
  24. northernstar
    Awful Expect to pay between £200 - £300 for something like that from a local paint shop. Maybe try chips away for an initial quote.
  25. northernstar
    Do you have them positioned correctly? Perhaps they are too far forward. See below for the 'official' Lexus roof bars.
