  1. Hello everyone, My 2016 IS300h has a strange issue with the boot/trunk locking mechanism; nearly two years after purchase, the boot would occasionally not close/lock. I was caught off guard once or twice. One time I came out to the car in the driveway in the morning and the boot was slightly open, another time, I struggled to lock the boot while rushing to catch a flight. When I reported all this to the dealer, they couldn't find anything wrong with the mechanism. Of course, this was happening just as the warranty was about to expire. If the problem reoccurred, I found a workaround by pressing the release button on the lid itself once or twice, and it closed/locked. I parked the car for a week over Easter, and now the boot will not open at all. I tried using the glove box's secret override button, but it didn't work. I now have to manually open the boot with the small key. Every time you need to open the boot, you almost have to get down on your knees to find the keyhole. Painful!! Sorry for the lengthy post, but has this ever happened to any IS mk3 owners on this forum? The car is due for service in June and will be visiting the dealer, I assume the locking mechanism will need to be replaced? Any suggestions are welcome! :-)
  2. Good evening all, Just replaced 4 Dunlop SportsMaxx RT2 tyres with Goodyear Eagle Asymmetric 5s. Too early to report back on the new tyre performance yet but I have a quick question! I have completed a calibration on the sat-nav (standard version) but should I be completing any other initialiation/calibration elsewhere in the menu options? The TPMS is all sorted and reset so there are no worries there but I do vagely remember someone on here mentioning some other setting (hidden in some menu) to adjust/reset after fitting new tyres. Unfortunately there is very limited info in the owners manuel. 😔 Many thanks!
  3. Thanks for all the recommendations everyone! Much appreciated! Love the wheels on the premium model but I think they are made of butter!! Very easy to damage!! 😃
  4. Good evening all, I'm looking for tyre recommendations for 18" 225/40R18 (Front) and 255/35/R18 (Rear) on the Year 2016 IS 300h Premium model. Ideally would like to have the protective rim on the tyres to protect the alloys. Would anyone have any tyre recommendations based on past experience and lastly any users in Ireland recommend a supplier/fitter in Cork/Limerick/Galway area? Any advice appreciated!! 😀
