  1. Many thanks for all the prompt comments, which are very helpful except that some people recommend switching to LED, some XENON, some say either of these could fail the MOT, others not. Guess I'll go to my MOT people & ask them before I go ahead. But a VERY useful exercise anyway. No need for anybody else to contribute as I now have a full range of opinions to digest. The one thing I won't do is buy OEM - it'll have to be a main brand : Phillips, Osram or Bosch, because when I went into Halfords today for something else, they said although they won't be beaten on price (shades of erstwhile John Lewis?), their prices / products are the same online as in store, but they clearly aren't! shows it does pay to do thorough research, IF you've got the time of course!!!
  2. We've had our 2007 RX400H bought off a mate as a punt to replace a wonderful SAAB 9-5 Aero Estate we'd had since new. The Lexus is equally comfortable & safe for occasional long distance visits to see grandchildren. BUT... the standard main & dipped beam headlamp bulbs are pathetic, & now Winter is here we must try something better. Does anyone have experience of any other bulbs, ie better spec replacement Halogens (eg as per Halfords), or Xenon (as standard on our SAAB) or even LED's? If so, what improvements has anyone enjoyed, & are any conversion kits necessary, & what supplier would anyone recommend please. We look forward to any suggestions?
  3. Sorry - I hadn't finished - the tab key ENTERED it. As I was saying : 1. What is the actual benefit of the Brake mode if it can use more petrol, and can wear out brake pads more quickly? 2. The manual only has illustrations in black & white. What do the 4 coloured arrows on the INFO screen (ie Navigation model) mean - ie blue, orange, red & yellow as the book doesn't even mention them? 3. Can I force battery only mode on short journeys around town - eg 5 miles to golf & back, or in traffic jams to avoid pumping out exhaust fumes - and if so, how? 4. The manual says that putting the car in N for Neutral can drain the battery, but surely when sitting at traffic lights, that what you are meant to do! as you can see , I'm confused and look forward to some kind person or persons putting me straight ..... PLEASE!
  4. Good afternoon folks, My car is a 57 reg, with 89,000 miles, and we love it - it's our first hybrid, so we're still learning. It's not as fast as our beloved automatic Saab 9-5 Aero Estate but hopefully in these times our rocketing petrol prices, it will be more economical... Anyway, I'd very much appreciate some information that is not clear in the Owner's Manual, and believe me - I have read it IN DETAIL from cover to cover. 1.But having read the
