Question 3 read or have read the OBDII codes to see what is stored and go from there, ignition coils have been known to fail but don't guess that's the most expensive way of fixing any car :) Any decent garage should be able to do it,doesn;t have to be Lexus. Oh and welcome to the LOC :)

With regards question 1,do you have a service history book if yes the locking wheel nut number is usually written in it,you can then quote this number and get a replacement from Lexus Question 2,yes you can a transponder and have it programmed without going to lexus Question 4,yes you can replace you stereo with a double din one,hope this helps you.

The RX came to the UK in Oct 2000. Anything earlier and it is an imported Toyota Harrier. As it was only available for three years there were no major changes in grades or specification, essentially the face-lift model was the one brought to the UK in late 2000. I believe there were two grades, base and SE with Nav available as an option. A possible reason to get a series II, other than improved looks, is better fuel economy and a much better 5 speed auto transmission. The series I has a 4 speed (3 speed + O/D) transmission and whilst there have only been one or two failures reported here it seems to be a weakness of the vehicle. Only one engine size in the UK. It is a V6 engine, also used in the Toyota Camry, fitted transverse. It isn't based on the GS/LS engine designs. As a Toyota Harrier I believe there were also a smaller 2.2l and 2.4l engines. Yes it is a permanent 4WD with a limited-slip centre diff. This was the only option in the UK. Other markets also had just a front-wheel drive option.

Welcome to this fine forum! Good luck with your search today. You have excellent taste in cars!

Give them a quick hoover or blast with pressurised air? If that doesn't work, perhaps used parts?
