I had the same issue with LV, saying that they will no longer be insuring my CT (been with them for 2 years). I went to Money Saving Expert and got Fully Comp 3Yrs NCD for £300 with Hastings Direct. 

Excellent! Thank you. I too found it frustrating that my phone won't fit in that convenient slot. I will get one ordered shortly.

You're welcome 😊

Here are the part numbers for them:

74221-76010 is the bit you are after.

My mpg dropped from 61 to 48 since the beginning of September. Same daily journey, same speed. The graph on my mileage tracker tells the story. I am going back to E5 for a couple of months to see if it improves.

Is it fitted correctly?

It may be that it just needs clipping back in to realign it.

A new one is £17.97 from >>>HERE<<<

Have they tried using a mechanics stethoscope to pinpoint any noise intrusion?

One of >>THESE<<   

The rear door will be easy to check whilst driving using somebody in the rear seat but the driver's door would be problematic.

With the car stationary I would run something like a vacuum cleaner outside and listen from the inside round the seal to see if there is one spot that is noisier than elsewhere.

Hope you get it sorted as it can be a somewhat irritating problem.

I do not know if this applies to the CT wheel bearings but some vehicle wheel bearings must be fitted the correct way round as they have the ABS sensor magnets built in.

They will fit both ways and if fitted incorrectly then it will bring up an ABS fault.

It sounds like someone "helpfully" cleaned the wheel with a silicone based interior shine spray and that is the usual result.

Try using isopropyl alcohol wipes on it then some proper leather cleaner/balm.

Keep the interior trim clean using something like >>>This<<< It cleans and protects without leaving any residue and no shine.

It all depends!

Are you handy with a spanner and can you raise the car off the ground and keep it there safely to allow access?

Fitting is just a case of getting it in the right place and doing up a few nuts.

If you cannot get the car high enough up on axle stands then it will be difficult to manoeuvre the plate into place (a genuine CatLoc plate is heavy and awkward) and you have to hold some of the bolts in place whilst tightening the shear nuts. Some Lexus garages will fit one for a reasonable sum, try contacting one local to you.

If you do fit it yourself then make sure it is in the correct position and rattle free before taking the final step of shearing the security nuts.

Once the vehicle is high enough, they are fairly simple to fit.

A new bumper cover is £257.87 >>HERE<<  plus painting, fitting etc.

It could work out cheaper buying new considering the damage to your original one, as they would both need to be fully painted.

I fitted the Catloc myself and there has been no noise since it was installed.

It has been fitted incorrectly, go back and get them to install it properly.

Hello everybody,

Picking up a 2015 CT200 tomorrow and looking forward to enjoying the delights of hybrid ownership.

I will try not to ask too many newbie questions and make full use of the search facility.

Just hoping Mr Levinson lives up to his reputation as I do like my music.

Hpefully see some of you around sometime.

Tony
