Want to write to the CEO of Lexus GB, does anybody have the contact details. Thanks

Would this work on an 03 RX300 SE-L

Hi mate,the answer to your question is yes Lex GB did pay for the respray.., but let me know if you get anywhere with this legal issue..It would be very interesting to know!! Many thanks for the information, in doing so i now also beleive that they have set a prescedent.

I am advised that they could be negligant by not advising that the contents of the mirror are harmful to their paintwork, they have known about it for years and todate have still not made any notification to this in any manuals or on the mirrors themselves. The best example would be the McDonalds case where the contents of a coffee cup burnt a customer, the customer won their case on the same basis and hey presto what does it now say on all coffee containers "warning contents hot"

There are at least three of us on these forums who have had exactly the same experience (myself included, but was driver's side mirror thanks to a transit van)... short answer to that question is a resounding NO, however. The specifications of the vehicle as well as its technological and safety features (i.e. the electrochromic mirrors which use a phosphoric gel charged with DC current) are in the public domain and the onus is upon the owner to mitigate that risk. L. Having taken legal advice today i find that Lexus do have some responsibility on this issue, if they wanted to mitigate the responsibility of any damage on the owner they should be applying warnings to the fact that the contents of the wing mirror are dangerous to the paint work and should also be applying reccomendations as what should be done if one is broken and the contents are spilt. I will be visiting my dealer very soon and will keep you posted.

I have just had the pleasure of replacing one of my wing mirror's due to somebody cracking the glass, the £190 cost for just the mirror was bad enough, i now find that the green slime / gunge that came out of the damaged glass has chemically stained my passenger door and looks like it will need a re spray, does any body think that i have a valid claim against Lexus for this work. Thanks

So they should have provided you with a cheque for the value of the car you purchased.

What happened to the 30 day 1000 mile no quibble money back guarantee if not fully satisfied?

Just had my 03 RX300 back from service and told the rear brake pads are 80% worn, how much should i be paying for a new set and can anybody advise best place to purchase. Lexus wanted £140 to do them, will do them myself at that price.

I am trying to copy but my burning software cannot open the source files, are the disc copy protected.

Trying to update my Sat Nav DVD from Ver 1 to Ver 2, disc has following Ref Number on it : 86271-64012 and 86271-60V542, on insertion screen displays "cannot read dvd" can anybody explain why.

Again Many thanks Chris Nigel Many thanks, how do I actually replace it, not sure where the head unit is. Thanks Chris ← Its in the boot just pop up the back covering were the wheel brace is and on your right hand side as you look in you will see a black panel you open and a nav unit is in there, I can take a photo later on if you have problems finding it and I'll post it on here for you. Hope this helps.. ←

I have the opportunity to purchase Lexus UK and Europe DVD Rom Disc 2004 - 2005 Ver.2, Ref Number on disc: 86271-64012 and 86271-60V542. Will it be OK for my 2003 RX300SE-L that currently has Ver 1 disc. Thanks for the help.

Can anybody give me details of where it is located and how do I get to it. RX300 2003. Thanks

If you load the new DVD disc onto the older Sat Nav you could be in trouble. The new one will programme the computer to do things it is incapable of doing. In other words it will not work. Then you cannot downgrade by re-installing the old DVD disc. If thats what you intended I would caution you against it unless you know of some way of resetting the computer so you can start from fresh again. Oldun ← If that is the case why can you purchase latest ver dvd from Lexus and put it straight in to machine and did what ever was been tried actually work

I know this has probably been asked 100 times already but i would appreciate it if somebody could either point me to the thread or explain if it is possible to play DVD's through my Sat Nav display and head unit. Thanks

Thanks for the info, I have spoken to the dealer and they are going to come back to me, hopefully with the offer of a new key.

When I purchased my RX300SE-L in August the dealer only had 2 keys, 1 black that I use as normal and 1 grey which i keep as the spare, I have previously had 2 Lexus and all came with 3 keys, the dealer told me that it was not important that i only had 2 keys, can anybody advise if they are correct. Thanks
