Environmental temperature? (shock oil temperature matters)

Tyre pressures? Under-inflation can also make the car "seem" stiffer in some situations.

Thanks for this suggestion Lwerewolf.  You may have hit on the solution,  temperature.

Thanks again Colin. That's really. Helpful..  No, just  plain boring, simple tops to the suspension struts.  Quick response was much appreciated..

Does your vehicle have AVS? If not then there is nothing that is adjustable. If it does then it should only be noticeable stiffer in Sport+ mode.

Did you (over)inflate your tyres yesterday?

Thanks Colin. Didn’t inflate tyres. AVS (Adjustable vehicle suspension?) How wouldI find  out if the car has that?

Using my 2015 GS300h today.Suspension seems all-round firmer than usual. AllI I’ve done is wash it yesterday!   Could it be an adjustable system that has self adjusted?  Apologies for maybe a naive question. Can't find Anything on suspension in handbook.

I had 3 cars and house insurance with LV.  2 years ago they were £300 cheaper than Admiral.  Come this year it’s reversed Admiral £200 cheaper than LV.  Similar price as nicnac above. Just under £1000.  Lexus GS 300h, XK8, Golf

Absolutely right!  Also I now know where the fog light switch is!! A bonus!

I think that explains it.  Thanks FA.  I’ll now sort out how to turn on the fog lights!

Advice please.  Checked the handbook and no information. Passenger  side reversing light operates.  That has a more traditional looking bulb in it. Driver’s side seems  (looking through the lens), to have an LED strip inside and not lighting when reversing. Can anyone cast any light (apologies!!) on this layout.  Is it normal?

I had the same on my XF and now on my GS300.  Just in cold weather as I reverse off the drive.  Consensus on Jag forums was that the rubber in some makes of tyre, in cold weather, does not flex as much as when it’s warmer., I only have this reversing off the drive first thing in the morning in cold weather.  No other times.I gather it’s quite common.

I notice there’s cross climate and cross climate+ .  Are they basically the same?  Which has Superduner chosen?

Secrets

LV gave me  a refund last year (£50?)  One off payment. maybe this year?

Interesting.  GS300h I have  a jolt in eco mode as the car starts to reverse out of the garage.  i thought it might be binding brakes part frozen on.  I’ll try normal mode tomorrow to see if it’s still there.  Thanks for all the comments.

Same with VolvoC70 in the past.  Since then I’ve always run a car up the road and back rather than just move it.  Solution in this case was remove fuel pump relay and crank the engine.  Excess fuel then blown out of the system.

Jaguar XF and jaguar S type.  They  also “drifted” when nearside lane was worn.  The wheels are in the slight grooves in the road and which, in a way, become like rail tracks.

I bought my GS300h a month ago.  On the M27 I was struck by how much the car steering was affected by wear in the motorway lanes.  Near-side lane and indentations caused by lorry wear were the culprit.

On a Lexus FB page someone is suggesting that the 12 v Battery needs recoding to the car and this needs to be done by the Lexus dealer.Is this the case?  It seems a bit over-complicated to me.  Also a flat Battery on the isleof Wight requiring a ferry trip to the mainland??? Not very practical!

I went on-line looking for advice/help as the handbook is not easy to follow.  The answers seemed to mainly come from members on here.  Many  thanks. So here I am.

After many years with Jaguars eg XJS, S Type and 2X XFs I’ve recently bought a GS300h.  So far very pleased.

Not sure where to direct this comment. For Admin?   I had to put “Other/Foriegn” on my location.  I live on the Isle of Wight.  It’s not part of Hampshire so I didn’t choose that option. It’s a separate county. Can it be added to the list?
