Is200 Sport New Mesh Grill Needed

Cheers for the advice Steve, that was my thoughts exactly but wanted a second opinion. A shame as I just managed to refurb my rear callipers only for the front to let me down haha, not a fun expense !

Hi Linas, To be honest my plan is to strip them back and repaint/hydrodip them black. The rubber bit isn't all that important.

I didn't expect that from Lexus, even the wife's previous old 11 plate Yaris had cruise control.

Given how seized the pin is I would go for a new carrier bracket. The only other option would be to drill a hole in the other side and then try and punch the remains of the slider pin out but it looks too far gone to me.

Hello everyone - how does the Lexus Roadside Assistance compare with AA ? Lexus RSA is marginally more expensive but is it worth it?

A brief update on this. The car has been with the dealer for four days now and they are not responding to my calls. Lexus link+ shows it has been locked since 10.30 so they have done nothing today. It is a good car but frankly the dealer network is crap.

I remember years ago we were in Rouen and my wife had the speciality of the region. The menu was in French, it turned out to be sheep’s foot. It was like a ball of elastic bands in a very strong garlic sauce. Revolting. What do the French do with all the good bits of an animal to eat. The specials always seem to be the rubbish bits.

Why would this fault show if I can't connect the temp sensor to a non lexus battery?

Did a first attempt at doing my front brakes as it was making groaning nosing indicating pads and discs were worn, unfortunately during the process of trying to remove the slide pins it ended up snapping on me! Turns out both of these were complete seized up and while I was able to get the first out the second snapped. Do I have any options for extracting this and replacing the slide pin or is it a new carrier slider necessary?

looking for an ECU and key does anyone have one for sale?

By this time majority of GS450h are out of warranty and people seems to cope just fine. So you are more of exception to still have warranty for it, not the other way around and these cars are perfectly usable and reliable outside of warranty. Could it be that your hybrid battery fails... yes, things like that happens, but it is not the end of the world £600-800 and it is fixed, probably that isn't much more than you were paying for extended warranty? Is it? Going to GS430 is not so much "going back", they are mostly the same, GS430 probably nicer to drive, sounds nicer, gearbox is nicer etc. Ideally you should go to GS460, but those are rarer than unicorns. That said - if you already have GS450h then it makes absolutelly no sense to change, any added reliability that you would get would be consumed by the cost and headache of changing the car... another big issue GS430 is probably £715 for road tax now (£695 maybe)... so again anything that you can potentially save by having more reliable (or rather less risky) car will be consumed just in the road tax... and there are good chance your GS450h won't go wrong anyway. So no GS450h>GS430 makes no sense, even if it is not a step backwards.

taped or siliconed to the top near the terminal. Its in a recess on the original Panasonic.

Where do you put the temp sensor?

I'm a 3k miles a year driver and do all of the battery 'management' stuff like using 'ready' when cleaning etc. and, yes, I can keep the battery at about 12.5v with the help of a battery momitor - fantastic!! The point is that why should we have to do this on a £60k car !!!!!! Toyota/Lexus battery management system isn't fit for purpose. Its's a shame as the car is brilliant in almost every other respect and I love the drive quality.

Did you transfer the temperature sensor if the replacement did not have one?

Good evening all, I currently own a 2010 GS450h, which I have to admit - like all my previous Lexus - has been a joy to own. It is now on 104000 miles and running perfectly. My only concern is that it has just had its last hybrid warranty service at Lexus and considering my options. I know opinions vary wildly, but how are people finding owning the 450’s out of warranty? Would you consider changing to an older 430 at this point, or is the 450h worth sticking with? Looking at auto trader, they seem to be powering on strong with double my current mileage. All opinions welcome thanks Stew

Thanks Andy, but upon more detailed inspection the crack in the rad is clearly visible ... sadly!

Thank you.

Mine is a basic obd device same as below: Carista is the app I used. Neil

The car was not used after I purchased it. The new battery that I fitted was the Varta Blue that was mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

Hi Kevin/Ken I read the same that Auto will prioritise EV and only add engine if you ask for more acceleration so it will quickly deplete the EV battery on a long trip and not save for later. I’ve opted for the same as you both and to manually switch between HV and EV Ken are you saying that while in HV mode the EV kicks in? Is that just the standard hybrid functionality so essentially just the car operating as if the EV was depleted? Or are you seeing the EV range drop while in HV mode? I’m about to set off for a 150 mile trek so will have another chance to test!

My previous GS300 was on 198000 miles when I sold it.It was 1998 GS300 with Prins system and Stako tank. I saw it on Ebay about 2 years later with 220000 miles, almost the same price I sold it for. I now have a 2002 GS300 with a BRC system. The first one I had easily did 100000 on LPG, I had it for about 5/6 years, the engine oil was gold when I bought it, and didn't change oil at all, stayed the same colour. The one I have now had LPG fitted when I bought it with 50000 miles on the clock, no flash lube on it, and its now on almost 90000, same oil. Only problem I've had is gearbox oil, which has nothing to do with LPG.

I bought this: vgate iCar PRO OBD2 Bluetooth 4.0 at about 39,00 € Carista is the app needed to connect to the obd device and make changes Here a link to Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XGB4873/ref=twister_B071VYL3LM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Does the OBD device has to be Carista? Looking at other OBD bluetooth devices for bit less money.
