  4. Hi Folks, My NX shocked me the second time with the Brake Power Low warning, all the Dash lights came on, it was an array of warnings, there were a couple more about collision detection failure etc, captured the four pics (attached): The first time this occurred, I took it to a Lexus dealer for diagnosis. They could not pick anything, cleared the codes and advised me to contact them again if the problem recurred. When it happened first time, my car ran fine after a few minutes of stop/start. Today, the same behaviour, I stopped the car for a couple of minutes, full off/on and it was back on the road. I might have done approximately 600 odd miles since it last happened over a month ago. During these occurrences, the car brakes lost power (as the dash warning says) and it required much more force on the pedals to slow/stop the car - it is a scary situation, especially as it happened twice during peak traffic times. Has this occurred to you or can someone shed some light on the already full-lit Dashboard please🙂 before I book another appointment? Lexus dealer is miles away but have a Toyota dealer much closer - not sure if they will check this one. Please share your thoughts. Thank you.
  5. To be honest the one I bought direct from China was identical. However I have bought a lot of mods from Calvin and appreciate all he does and am willing to support him in his business. What you can say if you buy things from him they will work and if they don’t he will refund you straight away. I think where his strength is to develop unique products and solutions for the SC community. We are very lucky to have someone who is as enthusiastic about our cars as he is.
  6. Was your Siri text issue where Siri didn’t read back before sending so you weren’t sure what went ? I had that and the issue was an Apple problem - I updated iOS to a beta and it sorted it. Did your phone have an update ? I’m asking in case the issue repeats
  7. Er Has nobody noticed? It's been like the wild west for years in the UK. With no effective government or control it's just gone to the dogs. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. There's still hope - get a good job installing security and then take the money and run. I am not joking. Portugal seems nice??
  8. That's very close to the cut-off, personally I would have expected the confirmation to be based on the VIN number. I don't believe they just happen to change the build spec on the 1st of the month.
  9. That’s precisely what I did on more than one occasion!
  10. My 350h (72reg) is still on 2040 and states that 'no software updates are available'; did the 2050 version get pulled by Lexus? 2nd Q; is there anything in 2050 of tangible benefit?
  11. Pop the rubber grommet out will stop it pooling for now . Look at resealing the rubber seal below the rear windows ..inside and out . Also inspect rear 1/4 window seals as it joins the roof seal.
  12. Looks an absolute work of art 😎
  13. Blue always a good colour for a project 😉 wheels with the wide rims look great 👍🏻
  14. Couple of points - a new RX is exactly the same in terms of touchscreen, bongs and the like. I think you would have to get a previous generation one to avoid them. Initially I felt the same re the bongs but as John says you turn them down ! - and get used to them you can turn them off but it is a bit of a faff Can you remember if the battery display also showed the %. If it didn’t then it has not had the update that has made all the difference in terms of range, particularly with the aircon / heating on Eco - seems to reduce range by about 10 miles out of 220. Rear screen, heated seats, radio and the like have no real effect on range. The radiant heaters are effective and again gave little effect on actual range. If it has had the update, the range is a forecast on the basis of previous drives so it will dive if previous drives have ‘gone for it’ Sorry if the above seems a bit defensive but after a year and importantly the update, I have now think the upsides outweigh the downsides - but I am not a road warrior.
  15. Alex, 4 hours of cheap elecricity charges my car to about 80%. I don't do long journeys every day any more, so that suits me fine as 2 nights of charging takes me up to 100% even with daily trips to the local shops. Interestingly, I did a longer journey today and now the weather has warmed up I achieved 48.2 miles on EV alone, up from 39 or 40 miles in the cooler weather.
  16. Wild West ? No we are fast becoming EU leaders in pot-hole manufacturing Leaders in exporting stolen cars thanks to our East European residents.. BTW you need to view this video to know what is going on & by who ?
  17. Thanks for the early replies and welcome, Ive still got my full steering covered disk locks which I last used on my classic car, as for my Ux and LBX I have fitted trackers but I think I will go down the EOBD plug relocation and fit a dummy plug in the EOBD plug position which will be cheaper than £1000 for 2 CAN immobiliser systems plus Lexus can't knock back any warranty issue as Ive not interfered with the cars system Ian
  18. Called in to a dealer to check the issue of the security plate was something dealerships were aware of. The Leeds dealer knew exactly what I was on about but said the security plate was being fitted only to the NX and RX at this moment in time but going forward all models known to be affected will have a security plate but the LS was still awaiting release. I got a reply from Lexus Customer Services when I advised them my car appears to be affected but as Colin Barber said it's all about the manufacture date rather than the registration date. They looked into my car again and established the following: As your vehicle’s production date is 22.09.2017, this means that your vehicle does not fall between the affected years for the LS model. The affected years are 10/2017 – 09/2022. So 8 days before the start of October 2017 was enough to know my LS was not susceptible to CAN bus injection theft. Who Knew. WHAT BOTHERS ME IS THAT A THIEF DOESN'T KNOW WHEN MY CAR WAS BUILT SO RIPPING MY BUMPER OFF IT'S MOUNTINGS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CONNECT TO THE HEADLAMP WIRING WILL STILL RESULT IS COSTLY REPAIRS EVEN IF THE CAR CANNOT BE REMOVED OFF MY DRIVE. What's the point, this country is like the wild west and beyond saving.
  19. ….my 60th post and 2.300+ View’s to date ! to thank you all for your continuing support and repeat visit’s I am going to make you an, exclusive, one off offer by releasing to you the advanced detail of an extremely rare ( I believe ) item destined for our ‘The Buy and Sell Accessorie’s Forum’ ! 🤔🤔🤔🤫🤫🤫. Malcolm, yes, I have recently received a provisional interested party - early day’s but will keep you all in the loop ! ….the exclusive, one off offer to you, dear reader, is a set of 4 Lexus, year 2000, LS 400 Repair Manual’s published by The Overseas Service Division of The Toyota Motor Corporation ( in the USA ). apparently now no longer available from the supplier I imported these directly at considerable expense awhile ago. these tomes remain unused, unopened and sealed in their original shrink wrap ! ….you really, really have to love, indeed adore, your Lexus ( in this case The LS 400 ) to invest in these 4 comprehensive technical bible’s ! copy for the forthcoming ad is currently under construction but I am delighted, to release to you all, the associated photo’s that will follow the ad !… I shall return 😳🙄😲☹️ anthony
  20. I measured the amp draw with the car unlocked and it's reading .13amps I take it this is the clock and radio settings using this. I mostly only use the car twice a week unless the weather is really bad and this is for round trips of over 20 miles. The battery is 70 amp hour so shouldn't go flat in 4 days. I think I may have left the side lights on and didn't notice the warning buzzer which is working ok...
  21. I think the ones from sc430 mods are all tested before he sells them and he probably sources them from a more reputable supplier , if your only paying £30 I wouldn't expect it to be that good, or to last very long .
  22. Don't assume it's the fuel cap I'm sure P0420 can be several things , the tiniest exhaust leak near to the cats can cause this code .
  23. Thanks for extra info Kev. Yes, my wing mirrors fold in but I have not tested the other functions. As an update, I stripped the driver’s side mirror and swapped the motors over between L/R and U/D to check whether it was a motor or switch/wiring issue. Turns out one of the motors was unresponsive, but I sprayed it internally as best I could with DWF and it came back to life. So all-told a fairly simple job, although I spent quite a long time trying to work out how to remove the mirror housing without breaking any of the securing tabs. Hopefully the passenger side can be resolved in the same way.
  24. It seems to be the way things are going. They can already hack your fridge and baby alarm and doorbell camera why not hack your car - it's already being addressed by some manufacturers. Imagine going down the M6 at 130mph (as usual😁) and someone in China turns the engine/battery off. Deadmeat💀.
  25. ….apologie’s for slight delay in responding - my Lexus LS 400 was working today collecting and returning home 6 ladie’s ( not all at once 😲! ) from a social centre c 20 miles’s from my home location ! Ken, thank you for your kind note and following the so kind post from Malcolm, 19 hour’s ago, was going to throw a cloak over the continuing storyline and assume the Christine adventure as concluded. ☹️. am rethinking, now 😲. however, being a dutiful Member, albeit a humble Contributor, of The Lexus Owner’s Club UK, I felt duty bound to respond to another honourable Member’s post ! would be good to keep The Car in Scotland, I agree with you Ken. she / him / other has become used to free parking, no rush hour’s, low volume traffic flow’s, no gridlock’s, few if any ANPR vehicle’s and low labour cost’s ( excluding the Big 5 Citie’s ) 😃 ! as a, now deregistered, ex M25 Parking Permit Holder - these benefit’s are unthinkable in The South ! I well know, having spent 69 year’s there ! 🙄. Malcolm, re your post concerning boot’s, following pix refer: anthony …..the 4 boot’s were £550 delivered, free (?) fitting by 5* refurber!
  26. Make sure you get an insurance quote before you commit to an RX4.
