Read about this on the US forum.  Just curious if anyone has tried this here?

Many people praise it.  Having an older ISF, im sure mine has never been done.  Does this get done during routine services?

I sometimes feel like there is a slight hesitation when accelerating from the lights but then again i think i compensate without even knowing as its so easy to spin the wheels even with mild acceleration (especially once the tyres are not new)

Did this regularly on my prado due to all the red dirt I had travelled through. Never though to try it on the isf. Tried it the other day, maf sensor was pretty clean but still gave it a good spray. Felt a touch more responsive afterwards, but overall really minor. Would be a different story if sensor was actually really dirty I reckon.

      LS460 Folding Mirror Doesn't Stop.

      Hi. The driver's mirror on my RHD LS460 folds in and out okay, but when folding in, it gets to the stop position but keeps trying to go further, so it continuously clicks. Is this repairable, or will the mirror have to be replaced? Has anybody fixed this problem? If so, how? Cheers.

      Carplay issues with iPhone IOS 18.1 making & receiving calls

      Just wondering if anyone else has recently encountered the following issue: I have two phones now running with IOS 18.1, an iPhone SE and iPhone 16 and they both are having the same problem, i.e. when making a phone call, the party I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. I first encountered the problem with my iPhone 16 and at first thought it was the cable connecting to the USB-C on the phone. I went out and purchased a wireless CarPlay adapter which circumvented the problem. However today I needed to connect the iPhone SE and it too got the same problem in that when making a phone call, the person I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. Checking sites in the USA it appears to be a common problem. UPDATE: The problem did not exist using IOS versions prior to IOS 18

      Driving Light

      Hi Peter, After taking onboard your suggestions and a few good nights sleep to mull over options the new driving lights are installed and working. No holes were drilled into vehicle but I did cut a small slot into back of the larger plastic fuse box cover/lid to source power from jump start terminal. (12v battery is in boot of NX 450h+) The wiring was a little fiddly but not having to take the dash apart was a huge bonus to installing the XBB kit. Was able to ‘reuse’ relay base from wiring harness supplied with Ultra Vision lights. Fitted a 20 amp inline fuse as lights draw 13.2 amps total. Smart button works a treat so can have high beam on without driving lights. So glad that I found this forum when I did, Neil
