  1. Past hour
  2. We usually replace the sensors one at a time as and when when they fail. Are any fault codes present ?
  3. Today
  4. The only ‘Options’ on a SE-L model IS are Multimedia Package Sun(Moon)Roof and Dynamic Cruise Control.
  5. At last, someone who shares the same view as me 👍 I’ve stated before, “the car can be hurried along country lanes, especially if you have the adaptive dampers.”
  6. The outside letter is written outside of the wheel as installed. I went to alignment garage and everything was ok. In there they told me my car pulls because i have wider tires in rear and it isnt mentioned to be that way and estonia roads are not that good. He couldnt explain how i disnt have any problems when tires were incorrectly installed. After that i went to that MOT check or sonething and he checked all the bushings and suspensions and stuff and everything was in good condition. Maybe it really is because of vad roads here. Im out of ideas myself.
  7. Unusual to need all 4. I think I've done 2 so far. The genuine sensors are Denso. I would use original equipment but Bosch or another decent make should be okay. Denso 89465-50120 £74 + shipping £15 Amayama £99 Euro Car parts. £247 ! Lexus Parts Direct
  8. Thats it I've caught a few glimpses of it on Eurosport, I remember many years ago they were racing at Brands Hatch, I didn't have my RCF then but do remember the thunderous sound, mind you so were the AMG's making a nice noise. Looks like a BMW has taken the lead now
  9. I have a friend who works in reception who has said he can do me a good deal on a tyre to match the cars original.
  10. Quite interesting how they ignore the facelift, which is years old now, and keep it based on the OG look. 🙂
  11. Well, I came full circle back to Lexus after looking at Volvo XC60 and 90 models, Mazda cX5 and CX60's, Kia and a few others. Volvos didn't do any engine options I wanted and lots of reports of niggling faults despite the lovely interiors. Ride quality so-so. CX5 too small for my needs, CX60 priced too high imho, as looking at year old higher spec models they were all over £40K and the interiors not up to lexus standards plus reports of issues with the over stressed turbo engine models plus way too much plastic used under the bonnet, including for the cooling and interior heating systems. Ride quality no-where near as good as the 4th gen RX models. I immediately discounted Kia as they and Hyundai both have the very same canbus vulnerability as the Lexus, Toyota, Porsche, landrover and ford cars. Bought a very nice Rx4 in the end with steel plate mods plus additional security and despite the galling insurance premium, couldn't be happier with the car. No other model yet offers the same blend of interior quality, ride quality and reliability. Performance is laughably understated by Lexus and all the same responses from reviewers saying this is no sports SUV equally laughable. It flies in sport + mode.
  12. Yes I saw that too, but the Lexus RCF number 87 is currently leading it's GT3 group
  13. Embarrassingly, it collided with the parent company Hypercar in the warmup. 🤣 Nevertheless, the Toyotas are moving towards the front quite nicely after poor qualifying positions.
  14. Car number 78 is currently racing at the Lemans 24 hours. I tried to get a picture of it but failed. Anyway good to see the car racing
  15. The rear wash-jet was my first thought but given I have no noise from the pump when engaged I'm inclined to think it's the pump. Having said that I could end up removing the rear spoiler and un-blocking or replacing the jet if the pump isn't the culprit!
  16. But this affected loads of Toyota models hence the huge financial hit. I wonder how much we're actually told? For example United Health Care own PKB being promoted via the NHS. In February in the USA they reported a data breach possibly affecting up to a third of all Americans! But no mention of the UK?
  17. Sorry to hear about the RX - must have done quite a bit of damage to them too? Good luck with the GS, sounds very nice. I was tempted when I got my RX a few years ago but the latter was more practical and was better suited to my purposes.
  18. Hello, previously i have owned a Lexus RX450h 2013 Reg but about a month ago some stupid taxi driver smashed into it writing it off completely. I've received my insurance money and have recently purchased a 2016 Lexus GS300H with the F-Sport Package. I've gotten used to it now on the drive back home. But overall i am very proud to be an owner of one, and its great car. I mean £25 Road tax is miles cheaper than the £200 i used to pay back with my RX450h and the adaptive suspension is a lot more softer. and the fuel costs are way cheaper than what i used to pay. I hope to have good times with this car 🙂.
  19. Hi, I have had my vsc and vsc off and engine light go on. I tried resetting with a paper clip in the computer port which successfully worked for few months (the lights stayed off). Now they have come on again and the reset will not work. My garage tested and said I need to replace the four Lambda sensors on the exhaust. The original parts from Lexus cost well over a grand. Has anyone had experience of this and what did you do? Does anyone know if there are any Toyota branded parts which will also do the job? I have also seen after market sensors for the sc430 made by Bosch which don't cost anywhere near as much. Has anyone here had experience of replacing Lambda sensors on their sc430 and what did you do? I would be very interested to hear your experiences and opinions.
  20. Falkens tyres, which I now use are difficult to obtain other than online or ProTyres it would seem ……. there’s plenty of local choice for other marques tho’ Malc
  21. Very cool - 18 months ago this was not possible on UK cars. £550 is cheap to be honest bearing in mind the work involved. A gamechanger for some buyers I would guess, me included - using Waze and Spotify is a massive plus.
  22. A2 Tyres Sittingbourne me ...always had good service in all the years I've used them
  23. Thats a big jump from repairing your car and driving on to a brandnew BMW for 540/month. That monthly sum can be temptive but how does it look if you have to pay 1 invoice per year for 5 years of 6480? and in the end you have to give it back and have no car? How about leaving the shocks, get the battery repaired as cheap as possible so the light goes out and swap it for a newer model? Its only for 2500 mls a year?
