That’s a bugger. I figured it would be a simple software solution as there’s no physical gauge to change. Thanks for the info anyway mate.

Hey all! So I bought a cheap digital cluster from an 09 600 and retrofitted into the car. All is well and everything seems to be functioning perfectly, even managed to change the language to English 😂 but one thing I’m stumped on is the speedo and odo. They’re both in KM’s. Now, I presumed it would be a simple setting change in Techstream but I’ve just spent the last 2 hours going through every option I can find and nothing will change the cluster. Lexus have told me that it might not be possible to change, i suggested just flashing my dash with “uk” software but they said they can’t do that. does anyone have any suggestions??

My apologies, I should have updated the thread. yes, there was a hairline split in the top of the radiator. Only managed to spot it when it started bubbling from lack of coolant lol. Ordered a genuine radiator from Lexus and tried to replace myself (i’ve done the same job on a couple of 430’s and IS’s) but there were a couple of bolts I couldn’t get to so ended up having Lexus do it. they managed to overfill the coolant so it was still steaming for a week after the repair while the excess coolant evaporated away but it’s been fine since January!

Price reduced to £120 to help cover half the cost of a blank key insert

Unfortunately not but I was quoted £48.50 to get a blank direct from Lexus.

Card key for 2008+ LS/IS/RX/GS I believe. Bought it for my 2007 (before fully researching) but it’s the wrong Denso number that was used on the first Gen LS600’s. So, if anyone would like a Denso 14AEC which has been virginised (proof upon request) then please let me know 😄 £145 including UK Royal Mail next day delivery. International postage will need to be paid for. Brand new battery which is being kept out of the key currently.

It certainly is handy, great for reading data and programming customisable features! Good luck with the install and feel free to send me a PM if you need a hand with anything. Always happy to help if I can. lol no worries mate 😄

No worries, thanks for getting back to me. I took a gamble on a 14AEC, I’m hoping it can be programmed lol. If you ever feel like selling yours, let me know 😆

That would be immensely helpful!!! Thank you 😄

Hey all! Been doing some research into the credit card key for the LS and subsequent newer models but I’m having a hard time figuring out if it’s available for my 2007 600hL. Lexus state it is under part number 89904-50851 but I can’t find any (UK) information on this part. There are various card keys on eBay and I was hoping to pick one up, blank it and then program it with Techstream. My trouble is with the Denso Part numbers. 14AEC sounds like the one I need but they’re far pricier than the newer 14CCB and 14CCF. Has anyone done this before? I know there are posts for doing it with a newer IS but I can’t seem to find any (UK) information on the subject.

Logically yes but the inverter cooler and condenser are both wet with coolant, the radiator isn’t. That’s what is confusing me. I’ll see if I can find a diagram of the cooling system and see exactly what runs up the top near the coolers

Ok so just to update, new radiator arrived and I’ve spent the last 4 hours of sunlight trying to get the old one out. It appears the existing radiator might be ok, it’s bone dry. What I didn’t realise is that there as a cooler for the inverter and that has the same colour coolant. my issue is that the inverter cooler and condenser are sopping wet from something, the coolant level is always low but the inverter coolant is always at max. im at my wits end now, any advice would be very helpful. Google doesn’t seem to result in any similar situations with the 600hL

Yep definitely coolant. Camera doesn’t pick it up very well but it definitely has a pink tinge to it. I can only assume there is a hole in the radiator, behind the condenser, and it’s just weeping through.

I doubt it. The car was sold “as seen” by a private seller. The owner of the car was a member of this forum (LOC Sticker in the rear window) but he passed away and the car was sold by his family. The car has extensive history and drove fine on the test drive but this is a bit of a kick in the sensitives. £250 for a new rad and £230 for a condenser. I thought I was done fixing cars lol.

Good evening all! Long time since I’ve needed to post on here. Got a query that I could do with some input on. a couple of weeks have passed since I picked up my “new to me” ‘07 LS600hL and it appears I have a coolant leak (happy days). I have attached a couple of photos, apologies it’s very dark at the moment. I was wondering if I need to replace the condenser or just the radiator. climate control was ice cold and toasty warm up until 2 days ago when it just constantly blew cold and later that night I noticed my coolant was below minimum. I topped up the coolant this evening and then noticed what appears to be old/existing coolant on the front of the condenser. am I correct in my observation? Would I be better just replacing both for the sake of preventative maintenance? thoughts and input appreciated as always 🙂
