My 155000+ mile 2005 Rx400h does around 31/32 but long trips with M/way 50 speed limits sees it get to 35 - eyeing a 450h 2014 Premier for low price and will take note of previous posts.😊
CORRECT The RHS disc had the inner shoe stuck/welded to the disc itself. Seems as though for many years only the left rear inner shoes were holding when the parking brake was applied. Rarely used as I put the gears in Park. Ho Hum
My local mech can't get the discs off the rear on my RX400h 2005/6
Any clues? The car has done 151000 miles , Lexus serviced but this RX is going and it has decided it wants to stay on!!
Disc comes half off then sticks
The point is I left the key in all night, in the garage, in the READY position and with aircon on and the car started and ran the next day.
That night i put the car in the garage- - turned everything off - key in pocket- no alarm set and the next morning the 12v battery was absolutely flat.
welland,
Engine started - I made three trips, total of about 60 miles. The day later when I found a dead car which needed a battery charger, on initially charging I did not disconnect the battery and the radio volume now worked, so I disconnected the neg earth and charged the battery - about 11 hours on a Halfrauds charger. This Wednesday morning all appears normal - except I had to retune the AM/FM radio. Engine started on READY and turned off shortly afterwards.
Any link to an uprated RX400h 12v battery site would be appreciated.
OK so this morning having left car in garage - all switches off - key removed - no alarm set I find a dead 12 v battery - so no lights - icons slow for about 5 seconds then fade away.
Yesterday the car performed normally - no indication of battery problems. Now I have connected the charger and all the panels work - INCLUDING my audio volume........
Maybe I need a new battery - someone on here gave a battery that fits with correct polarity but has higher rating, so any clues gratefully received Thanks
My excuse is it was in the garage, our two Golden Retrievers were trying to get in the driving seat and I had bags of shopping.....
This morning I got in the car - it was warm - everything worked - no dead battery but the radio volume output was dead.
Is there a fuse for volume control?
Well Lexus did not replace the brake pads because Steve in the workshop said there was still about 6,000 miles left on the pads!
It was the the tyre company that said the pads were extremely thin which was a ploy to get new pads fitted at the tyre place......
The 400h going to have a service at the end of the month and I will let the next owner replace the pads.

Underneath the glove box. Remove the trim then the fusebox can be seen as you lie on your back looking up below and behind the glovebox. Its difficult to spot, about 6" x 3".
Have fun!
