    We've just come back from a few days in Lincolnshire. One of our visits was to the BBMF visitor centre at RAF Coningsby. As no bags are allowed inside, my wife left her bag in the boot. I went to lock the car and it wouldn't lock. I tried everything but it still refused to lock. Eventually I realized what it was. My wife although she doesn't drive, always carries a spare key, and yes it was in her bag in the boot. ....Quite a clever feature really, as I once shut my key in the boot on a Honda Accord.. Having to wait 3 hrs for the AA to arrive.

    No, I think he only plays on Saturdays. I third screen opened this week. We were staying at the Petwood Hotel.

    We went to see the film at "The Kinema in the woods" at Woodhall Spa last night. Not a film I would go out of my way to watch a second time. Nice to see the Lexus in the film though.

    I don't think there's any particular knack to driving with a CVT. They are just so smooth and easy to use. In my experience, a lot better than the old style auto.

    Sounds like a possible broken spring, but you say that it's been checked by Lexus.

    Seems a reasonable review

    Welcome, I'm sure you'll be very happy.

    We tend not to use ours (2015) around town, and at the moment the display shows 47.5 mpg, it's usually a touch over 50 mpg.

    We bought our 2015 IS300h just over a year ago. It is our first Lexus, and we've been very pleased with it. Although it is still low mileage. We've taken out a 3 year service contract, which will hopefully save us a little bit ? One factor for buying, was that we have a Lexus service centre literally a five minute walk away.

    There is a school of thought that suggests you should always leave your aircon turned on (even in winter). To prevent seals "drying" out. How true this is in practice I have no idea.

    This is one feature of modern cars which is constantly changing. As soon as one manufacturer comes out with a new idea the others copy it... Most of us can remember when aircon always used to be an (expensive) extra., Then Daewoo included across the range of their vehicles. So nowadays it's unusual to see a car which doesn't have it. The same with SatNav, it seems to be a standard fitment on all new cars now.

    Some Ford alloy wheels suffer the same problem, It happened on my Bmax. This is the first time I've heard of it happening on a Lexus.

    I looked into having a radio with DAB fitted into a previous vehicle, but was advised not to bother, as a decent antenna system would be in the region of £300..... I listen to DAB most of the time in my IS300h, as I like to listen to Talk Radio which is only on DAB. I do get the occasional black hole in reception, but it's generally pretty good.

    Define the difference between an amateur and a professional driver....

    They also say they want to reduce road deaths to zero by 2050....Maybe by having a blanket speed limit of 10mph on all roads ?

    Another aspect of alloy wheel corrosion, which I wonder if anyone has experienced, is losing tyre pressure due to corrosion around the valve. ? I've just had this problem with a Ford. Although I suspect this is due to the quality of the alloy as it's a common issue.

    I seem to remember my first Nokia mobile having a number of stock sms replies to respond with. Which you could also add to.

    I've also just had a major service (a 4 year one) and I don't believe plugs were changed. I know that years ago when I serviced my own cars, that I would change the plugs (and points) every year. When they were Four for £1 🙂 It doesn't seem to a thing that is done nowadays. Unless a diagnostic says they need changing.

    Is this a feature of the phone, or of the car ?
  22. Hadrian
    Same here. I also often walk through their car park and see their employees struggling to change wipers and bulbs. The son of a chap I used to work with worked at this place. He was saying (and this no doubt applies to a lot of these outlets), that the fitters working there are on a relatively low wage. They get bonuses according to the extras they can impose on customers...
  23. Hadrian
    Quite right. Always use the recommended fuel.

    My wife doesn't drive, but whenever we go out, she carries the spare key..
  25. Hadrian
    Things must have changed (:?) With my IS300 I can't lock the car (by touching the door handle), if the key has been left in the car..
