UX250h UK premium sport edition
Don C replied to fourbanks's topic in Lexus UX200, UX250, UX250h, UX300e Club
I don’t find mine noisier than a van even with RFTs on. Don’t know what’s going on there. -
Possible you just ran the 12V down rather than anything wrong with it. Because all the 12V has to do is start the computer and then open the relays to the main hybrid battery, if its basically flat it may actually still manage to start the car. Had this a few times on my last 12V battery when it was, well working but it had basically no capacity left after 15 years so was very easy to run it flat if you left it on without the engine running for any period of time at all.

Looking to buy a 2010+ ISF
DamianLEX replied to samplify's topic in Lexus F Club - Lexus IS-F / GS-F / RC-F Club
My mechanic's first words when we unloaded my import onto his ramp : "How the F is it so dry, so clean, no sweat, not a single leak...I have never seen any used german sport car like this. If Lexus had a better interior I would buy it immediately". I don't know why he meant with interiors but same thing he said about RCF I had before. - Yesterday

Hi, I’ve noticed with increasing regularity that Android auto disconnecting when turning sharp left or right. It requires either an unplug back in to either the phone or console and comes immediately back. It did it three times on a recent 1 hour journey around country lanes but less so on major roads. I think this did it with my old phone and I have bought a quality cable and still happening. its going into the dealers next week to check for an software updates, but wondered if anyone else had had this. I am suspecting something loose round the back Any other thoughts or experiences ? thanks

Previous owners had 3 youngsters. I think a sugary drink spill was left in the flat section which has discoloured the black leather. The car had been standing unused for 6 months plus, I found an apple from the same time in the rear console box. I had a quote for a full seat restoration but it was outside my budget and at that level probably unnecessary. I have used some leather recolouring balm/dye and some conditioner which has improved things nicely. The car has only 86k mileage so seat leather is in pretty good shape throughout other than the main seat panels which obviously get dried in the sun, or hold any water if the roof is left open in a rain shower.

I sent a link to the Lexus article to my dealer which got the reaction "we no nothing about this" but promised to contact me one they knew. Seem unbelievable Lexus would publicly make statements like this without informing their dealerships first.

I maybe doing even better, with Octopus .... Between 05:30 - 23:30 we pay: 27.94p per kWh Between 23:30 - 05:30 we pay: 7.50p per kWh 😃 However, not forgetting, there is also a standing charge of 47.85p per day on top of the above which we have to pay no matter what. Double However, However, during a sunny 🌞 day the solar panels and associated batteries 🔋 charge the Lexus for FREE, albeit the £1000's I had to pay inadvance for all the install 😟. -
Hi Dan, I am just waiting for confirmation of the agreed value and then I will be chuffed. It nice to see you are taking the time to take an interest in owners forums. Regards Glyn

Thats the difference buying direct from source or not and an item flying all around the world attracting shipping, local taxes and import duties in every destination it is sold through.

Irregular spark after replacing engine
Axelstromo replied to Axelstromo's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
Checked the clearence to the sensor which was about 0.8mm. I did see that some of the studs of the trigger wheel had almost rusted away completely. Will change the wheel and see if there is anything else wrong. -
I've struggled to download the zip for this, but eventually succeeded and went to apply the update on the car. It ran for about 70 minutes and when the time remaining got down to zero I received the error shown below. Thought I'd ask here if anyone has got this fixed, because my local dealer is as useful as a chocolate teapot. Thanks

Would you run an LC outside of Lexus Relax.
MNMJ replied to Flytvr's topic in Lexus LC500 Coupe Club
That is good news as it used to run out at 10yrs, though you could buy 2 years in advance taking it to 12. If it still includes their breakdown cover, it is very good value (or was when I had it on ISF and RCF) -
It’s that damned unnecessary Plastic Tarp on top of the standard boot lining that’s causing the condensation…… I doubt it’s water ingress, well it doesn’t need to be ! I had this exact same issue on my 91 car last August with a rubberised back, thick black mat over the standard boot lining ……. really damp / wet on the spare wheel 😰 …… condensation Malc

I formatted the thumb drive and copied all DIRs in correct order. When I insert the thumb drive, it remembers the previous directory order. Does it save any data about thumb drive somewhere? If so how can I reset it?

Hi Julian, I love my mirrors! 🙂 I am tech nerd. Like the zoom out effect, really useful in tight spaces, and I like the looks. Resolution isn't an issue as the full resolution is a zoomed our resolution. Now I barely notice they are digital. Although, I don't think it's normal to drive with heaters on all the time. It looks it gets worse after a pressure wash or during a big temperature drop, like sudden rain. Had one recently, UK weather, you know, 15 degrees and sunny and then 6, raining, and dark as hell 😂.

New Tail Light Popped Out / Not sitting correctly
CT200NI replied to CT200NI's topic in Lexus General Maintenance
Solved: for anyone in the future doing this, there is a white little clip. It looks massively bent - but that’s how it looks on both sides. In this case, that clip wasn’t sitting the right way around. Causing its slant to push out slightly too much. Check this if you ever have the same issue. I presume other models use this same way of holding in the tail lights.- 1 reply
