Column Stalks
None of the column stalks illuminate when side/headlights are on. I would presume they normally should? Any ideas why mine don't ? There are 3.. the lights/indicator stalk.. the wiper/washer stalk; and the cruise control stalk.. Damn hard to see the settings at night lol
Column Stalks
I'm new to Lexus and my 2008 IS 220d.. None of the steering column stalks light up when side/head lights are on. Do they light up? If so why aren't any of mine illuminated?? The headlight/indicator stalk, the washer/wiper stalk and the cruise control stalk are all the same. Any ideas ?
Can I fit 215/55/17's ?
Hi Guys, I'm new to the CT200h and to this Forum. I'd appreciate if anyone could help me with a query about tyre size on my 2015 CT, please. It currently has 215/45/17 Yokohamas, which are quite harsh and noisy on rough surfaces. I have considered changing to 16" wheels to help resolve the issue but my local tyre shop say I could fit 215/55/17's to try and address the problem. Does anyone know if this can be done without the tyres catching the arches etc? Your advice will b
Death By Remote Starting

Rx400h jerks when in Parked (P) gear
Hi everyone, I'm new here, as well as a new Lexus owner (2007 RX400h) I've noticed that when I'm sitting in my car while it's on (lunchtime at work, I sometimes sit in my car with the engine on to warm up and listen to the radio), the car seems to jerk. It feels like a slight backward jerk and happens once or twice within the first 8 minutes of the car being on. It had a full service with Lexus and MOT passed the week I bought it (almost 3 weeks ago) and has LOW mileage (36k). Timing belt,
