  1. Is this helpful? https://www.carcarekiosk.com/video/2006_Lexus_RX400h_3.3L_V6/fuse_interior/replace
  2. Old Rolls Royces etc had cloth for the cabin for the car owner - and leather was used for the drivers seat that often was out in the open, like so: Somehow people started associating leather with luxury cars despite it being used for the hired help only due to the hard wearing nature! And thanks to that perversion of impression, we now all have to suffer the indignation of leather seats.
  3. Fun fact, double entendres does not make sense in actual French.

  5. LexusPartsDirect lists two - one without subwoofer, one with. I'd assume you'd need the latter? https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/lexus-ux/lexus-ux-2018-present/lexus-ux-exterior-interior/lexus-ux-phase-1-trunk-liner-w-out-sub/ https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/lexus-ux/lexus-ux-2018-present/lexus-ux-exterior-interior/lexus-ux-phase-1-trunk-liner-w-subwoofer/
  6. Are you being obtuse? Or going off on a tangent? Luckily it's not a sin(e).
  7. Wiki says: And it's the Toyota N platform, which applies to: I think it looks handsome, but it's a car that you need to be driven in.
  8. I was being a bit facetious. My point was more that the warranty on cars is much better than it is on a lot of other consumer items, especially considering what they go through.
  9. Some of the 4WD drive trains these days are part time 4WD for fuel efficiency reasons. This however means that when they engage the 4WD due to weather conditions, it can lead to unpredictable handling. See the Haldex systems for instance. I wouldn't personally trust any such automatically system myself, which is why my previous 4WD cars were all full time 4WD (Subaru Legacy, Celica GT4).
  10. http://www.ukh2mobility.co.uk/stations/#go-hydrogen_infrastructure 4 planned in England. The UK is shockingly bad at having coherent plans for public infrastructure. Petrol/diesel fuel stations were not set up as part of public infrastructure, which adds to my point. Similarly, UK railways are expensive, unreliable and generally appalling due to a lack of forward planning from successive governments. I mean, even the roads are terrible. So, who is going to set up these mythical hydrogen refuelling stations. Certainly not the UK government. Not Toyota. Shell is dragging their heels. 🤷‍♂️
  11. The bit rate is not government responsibility. They are at fault for a lot of society's failures but not this one. Please blame the multiplex operator - likely Arqiva - for wanting to extract maximum revenue from their bandwidth.
  12. See how far you get when you try to claim warranty after using your £3k TV to get down the M1. 😉
  13. The population is effectively blanketed, just like mobile phones. But it's still easy to get no reception, certainly while driving. You only need to look at the map to see vast areas of Wales and Scotland simply are not covered: http://www.ukdigitalradio.com/images/coverage-map.jpg Even the green bits are merely 95% coverage.
  14. Funnily enough, a TV will only get you 2 years of warranty, unless you take out extended warranty.
  15. Zap Map has some UK statistics: https://www.zap-map.com/statistics/ 25280 locations, with 10844 rapid chargers. So far fewer chargers for a much larger country. As a Dutch citizen in the UK - the UK is not good at public infrastructure.
  16. My point is more that in an emergency, you could charge if you asked someone to hook up, whereas with hydrogen you require an actual refuelling station. Yes, but these days there are plenty. Yes, but with hydrogen you are simply in need of a station, which is most cases is simply not there. With BEV charging, you have other options. No, you don't. You simply need enough charge to get to a fast charging station. Zap map shows that near me in approx 2 miles, there are 2 pubs, 2 super markets and a car parking offering charging. I could go to Tesco, do my shopping while it charges, and hey presto. At present BEV would be a mild inconvenience to me, whereas hydrogen just not an option at all. My only problem with hydrogen is that as of now, the infrastructure is not there. It could be but the planned amount of refuelling stations is quite minimal. And BEV is stealing a march on it as a result.
  17. Blast fromt he past, this bit of the discussion reminds me of this bit from Parks & Rec:
  18. Yikes. As someone with Aviva - as they were reasonably highly rated - perhaps I'll switch come renewal time.
  19. Even 2WD cars are "Four Wheel Brake".
  20. Right no, no you cannot. My closest hydrogen refuelling station is in east London and approx 30 minutes drive away and almost all of the reviews say that it's constantly out of hydrogen. The other refuelling stations are in west London and take anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5h to drive there. Maybe they'll have some hydrogen. Of course if I try the Rainham refuelling station first and find they're out, I need to drive across London. So that makes 2.5 driving for some hydrogen to fill up, with another hour or so to get back home. Also, as for the claim that hydrogen refuelling stations can deliver fuel more quickly. In theory, but the Hydrogen Map clearly states a limit of hydrogen per day that the stations are able to provide, so *right now* it's not correct. This is the problem with emerging infrastructure that BEV circumvent by the very nature of electricity is that electricity is *EVERYWHERE* thanks to the National Grid. Slow charging > no fuel.
  21. With BEV, you can charge at home, probably. Where as no one has a hydrogen generation facility at home, let alone the equipment to liquify it. Maybe you can get BOC to deliver a can to your home? Though their site suggests you'd need to buy industrial quantities. A slight Tesla master stroke was to invest themselves into the Supercharger network, thus alleviating some of the long range anxiety. You don't see Toyota sponsoring the hydrogen infrastructure in the UK. Though they're doing some in the US: https://pressroom.toyota.com/shell-toyota-and-honda-to-expand-california-hydrogen-refueling-infrastructure/ https://www.powerengineeringint.com/hydrogen/chevron-and-toyota-partner-to-develop-hydrogen-infrastructure/
  22. I was actually looking for this for my RC300h and found a thread on this very forum that says if you have HID or LED lights, you don't need them.
  23. Brembo has an OEM replacement series. They feature a coating on the non contact braking surface to prevent rusting. I've used their discs successfully on my previous Toyotas and Subaru. Cheaper than OEM too.
