This is exactly what i did with my slow punctures re-inflate with the tire inflator until i got repaired.

On the Lexus pricing plan 100k should just be another major service.

They never put a deposit down that’s the thing… and I have my cash sorted for the deal which was even mentioned putting a deposit down means a guaranteed purchase if all was ok after viewing

I think what we were discussing was brakes upgrade kit from GS300/IS350. As mentioned - Brembo pads where not exceptional in any way. ECP can be good sometimes when they have discounts.

My Dec 21 is not listed for a recall, hasn't had the plates fitted...

The annoying beep is a speed limit alert that activates if you drive 31 mph in a 30 mph zone. It needs to be turned off every time you start the car, which is both distracting and frustrating.

Yes they are significant. Use Google to translate the German website.

So much wiring behind the TEYES unit. Can't even get it in place. Sits an inch proud ...

Dave Alan forever ……. wonder if he had a Ls400 ? Malc

It's back!!! Now on the rear left side. I'm not sure it was the driveshaft now and thinking it could be a loose lug? I saw some mentions on other forums. Any advise would be welcome.

Yes that’s what I was worried about, I’m looking at the below. They seem decent

Doesn’t seem to be available anymore. I’ve been fixated on one for 2 weeks now and I’m planning on hopefully buying it next week, wish me luck 😬. Will definitely come back with an update and pictures when I buy it.

Umm! log in to the Lexus Link app before you start the car. What could possibly go wrong?

I think the LBX is much closer to the Yaris Cross, than the RZ and bz4x are together. But I also think Lexus is much better at distinguishing its vehicles from Toyota, despite shared parts & platforms, than others like Audi/VW/Seat/Skoda are.

Probably but I have a ear wax build up issue anyway lol

I went to the dealership and they finally found the problem. Long story short, my windshield was replaced, and the shop that did that, made it bad and I had a leakage trough the A pillar. The water made some circuit rust on the left of the dashboard. The current measured before when the car was in sleep mode was 0.154A, now it's 0.05A. About the accessory mode, I'll take some pics and post them in here so you can compare the stats. I also recommend this type of gadget to any hybrid owner:

Cannot get cursor on to the compas symbol to change gps to ‘heading up’

Hey Guys, can anyone recommend any decent quality aftermarket TPSM sensors please? thanks h

Still plenty of rain here in Kent yesterday …… BUT it’s all change today …. 1st June …… and the local Classic Car show tomorrow ……. Just thought, should I pop my 91 Ls400 into the fray ……. But not sure I want to be there all day let alone doing all the necessary prep to get her as pristine as I know I should 🤔 I’ll go visit for sure as taking prtnr to help out on the Cats Protection stand for a couple of hours ……… selling moggies ….. NO, I jest of course 🤔 Malc

ABS TRC on, got a IcarsoftTYT OBD reader, sure enough, right rear sensor shows no data. 2nd hand sensor fitted, no difference, old one covered in rusty iron filings (from the reluctor ring cover I believe) Reluctor ring suspiciously shiny on the sticky up teeth, after comparing with the image of a new reluctor ring clearly this one has been worn down, probably by said rusty iron filings. I don't have the knowledge, kit or place to remove the hub. drive shaft and whatever else to get to the reluctor ring to replace it and I can't afford to pay a dealer to do this. Late at night after a beer and a smoke a thought popped up, what if the sensor cant 'see' the ring teeth coz they are worn down somewhat. I measured the distance from the ring teeth to the mounting surface of the sensor at the hub, then calculated the gap between sensor and ring to be about 5mm, too much, so I got the dremel out and removed 3mm from the sensor outer face that is bolted to the hub (not the end of the sensor) including the mounting hole. to allow the sensor to sit closer to the reluctor ring. Bloody 'ell, it works even though the reluctor ring teeth are only about 1mm high now. Result! one happy owner.

Dan ……. did you buy your Ls460 ? Malc

So it’s the likely storage method over time that causes “ new “ old stock to be decrepit when sold 🤔 Makes a lot of sense for sure 👍 Malc

hi guys i have a 02 sensor code p155 says bank 2 sensor 1 where is that on the exhaust

The yearly tax! Look for 2017 onwards.

On 3rd gen GS it seems very optimistic, which I found surprising compared to 2nd gen IS (the cars shares most parts, things like ECU). So whereas on IS reported mpg was like +/-1%, maybe 3% once in a while (call it margin of error, and may not even be fault of trip computer, it may be the petrol station pump that is off by 1%), then on GS it is consistently 10% optimistic, it shows range and all other things fairly accurately, but tank MPG always optimistic. So if it says for example 34MPG, then calculated brim to brim will be more like 31 maybe.
