It sounds like a selector button is stuck , like when a keyboard key or command key is constantly pressed. While the car is switched off - Maybe try giving all the relevant buttons a good workout i.e. press firmly, press press many times to see if it releases? Just a thought, may help?🤔

My radio/CD unit is cycling through radio, CD, phone and external media constantly. If I hold the power off, it makes no difference. Any idea what the cause is?

You can initialise the TPMS in the setting menu via the steering wheel control on the left.

I have a well looked after one, usb on 54k miles. i wont part from it for less than 24k though

The car is now running. It does however have a misfire and one AVC/LAN bus is down. All systems are up, except the radio. I will do a more comprehensive report soon. Apart from the new battery and the 140A fuse, there were nine other fuses and arc damage to one the ECU plugs. One pin to be precises must have been hit with a fair bit of current. When I took the ECU out I could smell it. I am going to scope the coil triggers to see if the misfire is a FET issue or loom/coil coincidence. I do not believe the monster reverse surge would have gone through the ECU to a coil without killing the ECU forst. On inspection it looks fine inside. Anyway I have been documenting my finds so I will publish soon.

Hi all, I have 4 Lexus SC430 alloys, not a scratch on them, I would like £200 per wheel, buyer could collect or arrange collection from Pembroke Dock, Pembrokeshire. The alloys were removed not long after purchase and stored in a garage, as I said, no scratches, dents, dings or curb rash.

Lexus won't charge if they have fitted the new tyres

Yeah, but he's been flat out in 1st and 2nd for 6 years... 🤣

Now steady on Chris, you don't want to undo all your good work.😁

"Had the new screen fitted yesterday, a date chosen to coincide with my latest hospital visit." Sound planning ! Be where they can resuscitate you in case the bill is bigger than expected.

Following the fitment of two new front tyres on Monday, within an hour of collecting the car my wife had a 'TPWS Malfunction. Contact Your Dealer' warning flash up on screen. It's now not allowing the pressures to be shown so initially wasn't sure if a tyre was losing pressure, but all looks good. Is it possible that a sensor has been knocked or damaged during the tyres being swapped over that has made the system throw a wobbly? I have the car booked back in on Friday for the tyre place to have a look. I rang Lexus and they want £115 to put the car through a diagnosis. I was just wondering if it's possible to attempt a reset that may cancel out any fault?

Its all about the fat cat CEO, the share holder and making a bigger profit than the previous year. The who industry IMHO is just using the customer to print money for them. I don't think risk is as big as an issue as they say, thats just an excuse.

Picture 44, torch is missing, I’m out!

I wonder if they follow the same style of announcements as most TV competitions? ”In no particular order……..the Lexus dealer leaving the competition tonight is”……………………………………………….zzz…………………………..

I’m well up to date on my 95 Mk3 car but the recently bought 91 J reg, now approaching 100k miles, I can’t see from the inherited docs that it’s ever had the change 🤔 At this era Ls400 it’s the non-interference engine and I’m taking some little comfort from that and won’t expect anything to go “ bang “ with catastrophic outcomes Lets see how my budgeting pans out to address this Malc

Funerial attire at any age maybe ……. never want to wear one again but suspect I shall sadly Malc

The cambelt on the non-LPG car was changed in 2018 at 226,000 and the current mileage is 240,000. The cambelt on the LPG car was changed prior to my ownership but I do not know the exact date or mileage. I am looking to change it now based on age as it has been on for 10+ years, although the mileage will be well under 100,000. 10 years or 100,000 miles seems about right to me.

I'm not attempting to start a row here and I generally agree with the comments in this thread but I'd argue that 2 Grandchildren and two adult spaces do make it a 'Family' car. We've become used to huge cars that we drag around mostly with just a driver on-board especially when going to and from work. I realise the boot isn't huge but 90% + of the time I use the UX it's more than adequate. I've sat in the back, with a Grandchild in one of these huge modern safety seats, and I had no issue with leg or head room and I'm just over 6 feet tall. I moved from an NX to the UX for the very reason that I couldn't justify having such a large but wonderful vehicle that was going to sit around most of the day. Even though there is a view on this site that the UX isn't a 'real' Lexus I think they are an excellent car with many benefits in this modern and expensive motoring age.

Mine is 6.5 years old and 11K miles, i am still running it in, do you think i can use 3 gear now or should i wait another few more miles.

To give you an idea, I phoned Lexus to get a price for a pair of upper control arms, over £1,100. The pair from Rock were (and these weren't their cheapest) less than £100 including taxes and delivery for the pair. Regardless of what others might say, I knew when the parts arrived they were excellent quality, and three years on still fine. The parts not to buy from Rock are heavy items like brake discs because shipping goes by weight.

The older you become the greater the amount of black tie occasions you attend.

Hello Hris and welcome to the LOC, hope you find the forum informative and educational 👍

Vacuum bleeder not blender!!

Hello all. Had the car in for MOT inspection and it failed on front brakes not balanced, over 20% difference. I changed the front calipers ,hoses and master cylinder. I took it back and it passed but there is still some imbalance, to much for my liking. The rears are more or less identical on balance. I used a vacuum blender with the peddle slightly pressed and removed ABS fuses as Tech stream advised. Any ideas? Could there still be air in the system? Peddle feels firm so I think master cylinder is bled ok. I also bled rear brakes.

Unless I'm going mad, I thought they got a good thrashing at the factory before delivery anyway?
