    They kept clinging on to the tune of "oh it says model dependent" without saying what that meant and saying it's ok and due later on.... not happy with them to be honest.

    Where do I find this @rayaans ? is it in the User Guide? I'm due for service tomorrow and I would not like them to miss it. I printed the screengrab from @ColinBarber 's post above.

    But what is the correct sequence? I stop the car, then press the brake pedal to move the stick to N. Once in N, I press the handbrake (footbrake) and the last bit is move the stick to P Am I doing it wrong?

    Not sure of sarcasm or you do mean it....... it is true that nowadays tyres and wheels are waaaaay oversized, for the sake of aesthetics. It's an arms race. The basic version of the IS300h, same engine and same weight, comes with 205/55/16 , which is more than enough to handle the car. The tyre size of the F-Sport version is just ludicrous and wasteful I investigated and that's orientative. It's not always the case, depends on the overall balancing job which is done with an accurate machine (or at least i hope so). I was ready to go to the garage and shout at them

    Edit: I contacted Michelin CS, lessee what they say.

    It's just the camera's native resolution

    I'm impressed. Definitely good news

    Look out for failure/replacement of the water pump. There was a recall back in the day.

    So, I got the Primacy 4 on as of yesterday and rolled on the motorway for a few miles. Hard to tell given the state of the tarmac in this country but I'd say no weird noises or vibrations.... HOWEVER, I noticed the tyres have a white dot on the side (not yellow or red), and when asked at the garage, i was told "not to worry" about it. The position of the dots regarding the valves don't follow a pattern and when looking it up, I have found contradicting info (as to what the white dot actually mean). I might contact Michelin CS but.... does anyone know? Should I worry?

    So I tried it yesterday and it works, only the wording of some of the menu options is different. I will leave it like this for peace of mind.

    Thanks @ColinBarber 🤩 I went ahead and ordered the Michelin Primacy 4 ...I had them in my previous car and I was very happy with them. Like new after 12k miles.
  12. Mr_Groundhog
    That's very helpful, thank you.
  13. Mr_Groundhog
    That means on the 17-inch wheels you can swap fronts and rears after a few thousand miles, no?

    I always wondered if my mud flaps are detrimental to aerodynamics, and if so, how much... does anyone know ?
  15. Mr_Groundhog
    Indeed. When I got my is300h it came with a Lexus invoice (FOC) for the replacement of the water pump. Fingers crossed that's all it takes.

    I came across this video below (yesterday) and I was wondering whether anyone had tried it? I read about the signal-theft thing on the police website and been a bit worried about it since...
  17. Mr_Groundhog
    Soooo I was looking to replace the OEM yokohamas blue earth e51 (a bit cracked; got an MOT advisory) and I have seen that these are "XL" ? Do you perchance know whether that's accurate and hence any new tyre going into my 2018 IS300h HAS TO BE an XL tyre too? I like the figures on the Michelin Primacy 4 but those don't seem to be XL ....

    Hi there, myname is Mr Groundhog and Kent is my habitat for now. I had several Hondas in the past, but for some time I had an eye on the IS300. I finally got one in good state and pretty low mileage. All things considered I'm super happy and I do turn around to look at it or several seconds every time I park it 😍 So... hello everyone !

    My experience with Churchill was so-so.... and with Privilege, a bit better but more of the same. They're part oft he same parent company anyway... They just had me pay a 400 pound deposit for a non-fault and now i have to wait until god know when to claim it back from them. Thinking of migrating to LV next year....they had a good price when I was looking around
  20. Mr_Groundhog
    Seems nobody has posted about this for a while... There might be new aftermarket solutions by now...I'd be curious to know if anyone has any?
