It looks like that window needs resetting for one touch to work again. Ignition on, close the window by continually holding the button, when it reaches the top hold for a few more seconds, you may hear a quiet click. Then open the window fully using the same process again holding the it down for a few seconds, I generally count to 5. What you’ve done is “taught” the motor the operating perimeters, it should now work properly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I finally got around to ordering this: https://jpnz.co.nz/product/toyota-harrier-2/ Will report back with a review when it arrives. Not sure anyone else on here has a harrier though!

I also got chance to make my own external wastegate dump tube. Was pretty straight forward just measured, cut and offered it up until it fit. Also managed to do a slash cut on the end of the pipe, that was pretty tricky to do using a grinder! Another thing i managed to get done was the rear light LED conversion. Now i originally started this 2yrs ago early on in this build thread 🤣, got side tracked and didnt finish it but now was perfect chance to do it. I also decided to do the US rear brake light conversion so the fog lights also light up with the brake lights. I had to install diodes so that when the fog lights are switched on it doesnt light up all the brake lights now the wiring is joined. 1 thing i didnt want to do was have the fog lights light up with the side lights as i wanted those LED rings to stand out on there own. Im just waiting on some pulse width modulating boxes to dim them down a little as they are as bright as the brake lights at the moment, also the PWM boxes will allow me to use the LED rings as a brake light aswell as a side light!

At a considerable loss of income to the Island though and disappointment of thousands throughout the world, me as a several times visitor included!

Thanks Ian. I was hoping that we could ask a Dealer to pay, but no suck luck. Glad you picked up a bargain though.

I don't hear my alarm go off at all for 50 weeks of the year, then the Isle of Man TT happens!! Every damn motorbike that goes past my house sets the bloody thing off!!! Thank god the TT has been cancelled this year! A bit of peace and quiet!! [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Welcome to Europe's Leading Lexus Club! Please Enjoy!

If you follow the instructions then, as @whiteman says, the results should be good. I bought a similar kit, albeit from another supplier, when I restored a Mercedes-Benz 420SEC 3 years ago, and below are the before and after shots. I used the supplied filler paste on the hole in the armrest and the renovation cream was mixed by the supplier to match the correct shade. It's a very rewarding job, but don't rush it. Good luck!

I think that’s overegging his talents. His review of my mini clubvan was truly cringeworthy. I did raise the question whether he pays people to watch his YouTube content as he has enormous viewing figures and quite frankly he is s**t

History of the o/s mirror is that it was accidentally damaged and the back was cracked. My pal did a practically invisible glue job to repair it and it was glued back into position on the mirror. The intention was to re-spray it in situ on the door but, as previously mentioned I couldn't get a match locally. In short, as they are glued together, I don't think the mirror and backing are detachable from one another without damage. Sorry, perhaps I should have explained all that when we met. Kind regards Ron

I've just forwarded it to someone as it's so good! Thanks for posting.

It seems to me that Lexus (and toyota) tend to apply rolling updates to vehicles as they go, rather than saving up a chunk of stuff for facelift time. I've been watching a lot of youtube stuff lately, and they've applied rolling updates to Supra and LC500 as they've been going. I've seen instances of that with the GS as well. Our GS is a 2015 pre-facelift Premier, with all options (Sunroof, LED headlamps, PCS/ACC/LKA). There are noticeable differences to 2012/2013 GS that we test drove: Ours has HUD. Ours has a newer nav system (identified by having the mSD card flap where the Mark Levinson logo is, and the right-hand screen panel having 3 tabs, not 4), but not full-screen nav as per facelift (but uses the same map mSD card) Subjectively (and would need to try back-to-back to be more certain) ours seems to ride a bit more smoothly than the 2012 cars (GS450h Premier, GS250 luxury) that we previously test drove (and this is in line with the suspension tweaking that has gone on with the LC500 - newer cars are a bit smoother than the first couple of years). In other words, things like the stiffened body shell and tuned suspension may have occurred before the facelift, just as things like HUD and the new nav hardware did (although as I said, the pre-facelift still runs split-screen software). Don't necessarily limit yourself only to facelift cars if the ride and hud are your key features. No Pre-facelift got matrix adaptive beam headlamps (ours has active high beam and active turning(although the width of illumination they provide makes that totally irrelevant) but not matrix), full-screen nav or traffic sign recognition. For example, here's a later Pre-facelift with ACC/PCS/LKA, sunroof, HUD, etc: https://usedcars.lexus.co.uk/en/used-lexus/Lexus/Gs-Saloon/450h-35-Premier-With-ACCPCS-With-Sunroof-r1capjh but would need to see pictures to tell if it has the LED headlamps (description doesn't say) .

Worked a treat, thank you Sir!

You learn something new every day!

i am on my 3rd lexus since 2013 and have never had to have an aircon refill, refilling will depend on usage, using the aircon on a regular basis is the best practise to keep it in good working order , if its not used regulary the seals can dry out and stick to the compressor shaft and when you turn the AC on the seals can be damaged

Sto molto bene 😀 Seems like a lot of money to me, obviously a wheel refurb company but sold needing refurbishment and all new tyres, heading towards a grand to get them right.

I though you press the remote twice ( ore key ). You can hear it deadlock...

Phew, close one! Glad it's sorted.

and don't deadlock the doors!

Will do, much appreciate everyone's help and input 👍🏻👍🏻

Well it looks like Lexus Woodford are opening back up... (according to their twitter account) It's been a long two months, now I just need to keep my fingers crossed and wait a little bit longer for some RX shaped happiness.

Hey everyone, I hope you are all well? I made a video on my dad's CT and compiled 10 things about the CT that you may not know? What I didn't realise was that Lexus worked with a trainer company to make CT inspired shoes!! Hope you enjoy, Thomas 🙂

Impressive mileage! My dad's CT has hardly 7k miles on it 😛

While been at home more often I have kept the car cleaner than normal. I buy all my cleaning and detailing products from The Clay Cloth Company.. I foamed the car with Tenzi snow foam and give it a rinse off. Then it was time for the shampoo which was Killerwax SIO2 which is a ceramic based wash, dried it with a huge drying cloth then polished with Killerwaxx Northern Lights paste, the results speak for them selves, I finished off with some ceramic detailing spray Killerwaxx SIO2 ceramic spray... well I have attached the pics and hopefully you will appreciate my results, since finding the https://www.theclayclothcompany.co.uk/ I wont go anywhere else now, all there stuff is so easy to apply and even easier to remove. This small company started in 2013 and I think we need to help businesses to keep going in the present situation... before anyone asks I don't own it lol...I just think there products across the range speak for themselves.. they do everything you want and more for getting your car clean.... https://www.theclayclothcompany.co.uk/

Actually Max, I would look at it that they don’t know the part no, because nobody orders them. They will probably have them in their own stocks as consumables, because Lexus are very keen on these small details to stop oil leaks. That’s my view anyway, but I am not competent to do my own servicing. Good luck, Roger

I replaced mine with one from ecp. About £80

Given the condition of the car and taking into account the location I can only say that the results are truly electrifying 😀

Very true, just needed somewhere to express my disappointment where folks will sympathise. Later registration will sadly cost another £400(ish) due to VED changes. Still at least I know that putting more diesel into the X3 is a good idea.

Yes, one of my pet hates too in that the font size of things like ETA, road number are very small. Can’t see why this couldn’t be changed through a software update. And don’t get me started on why my map zooms out when I approach a junction.😠 Other than that it’s alright.
