goody

That's a great price also, did they cut the trim neatly or did they fitted a new modified section where the hitch comes out

Hi booked in for our 4th year Lexus main dealer UK service. looking at the service plan, the following basics will be replaced BUT when does the transmission oil and the diff oil get replaced as just says replace as required??? Model dependant not a fixed year. previous RX400h had a year it needed to be replaced, OIL only has so many years before it needs to be replaced so surely Lexus have to change it sometime. But when???? Model dependant but cant get a definitive answer. Anyone know many thanks

Westfillia has no tow bar to fit GEN4 SUV, tried them weeks ago. 😞

Thanks for replys everyone, but the gen 3 tow bars do not fit the new model, I need someone who has a GEN 4 car to come forward unfortunately and tell me what type of tow bar is fitted. its very disappointing that no tow bar companies so far as I can find list one to fit the GEN 4 RX450h. someone must have one fitted?

Hi, i want a tow bar fitted to my gen4 RX 450h, have been to my local tow bar fitting company's and none of them have a tow bar kit even listed on the systems. i can get one from Lexus for £1200 but that's a lot of money for what normally is about £300-£400 I paid on my old rx400h. does anyone have a supplier I can get one from?? did try the search function on here but was useless, so sorry if it's already been mentioned before, apologies many thanks

Hi i know you said your sunroof isn't leaking BUT on our old rx400h we had the exact same wet area and in the rear pillar looking in the top left hand corner when the boot is open, the water never leaked dip,dip into the car but was running down inside around all down the L/H/S of the car in two main areas. it all came from the sunroof, our external rubber seal around the sunroof were all cracked and hard. also with our car being damp, the front windscreen was soaking ever cold day when starting up in the morning.

66 plate 450rx f sport fully comp with wife added £430 direct line. Hundred pound cheaper than any insurance company on confused/meerkat etc.

unless someone has tried it and has been successful cleaning the dash with chemicals I'm not prepared to risk it at the moment. It would be good to hear from others on the forum about how they clean there dash. with my other cars I don't have to worry as not leather looking and with such a big area it could end up a disaster :-(

Many thanks for the advice ill order some of that dodo cleaner/sealant shortly

Hi all gen 4 rx450h owners when I brought the car from lexus they told me to just wipe with a clean micro fibre cloth very lightly. which we have been doing but there are a few light scuff marks where the kids throw there bags in from school by the passenger front compartment glove box. i haven't tried anything on it at all yet, just wanted to ask other owners with same dash as it easily marks. also while I'm on the cleaning theme I use AUTOGLYM Leather cleaner on the car front seats but sadly it's not very good at removing the blue dye off them from our jeans, so before I try anything else, what do you use to remove the blue dye. many thanks and seasons greetings paul

I was so looking forward to using that feature, shame :-(

Hi So we connect our Iphone up to the car on WIFI using the personal Hotspot method on our iphone and we enjoy google search and info features on lexus menu. now I've read but haven't been able to do this myself yet, that by holding down the "off hook button" on your steering wheel for a couple of seconds you can talk to SIRI Via your IPhone i.e. Reply to last text message and dictate a message and send etc. all I get is my call history. our text messages come through the car to read but I would like the option to send a reply whilst not taking my hands of the wheel, thus use Siri to do it for me. that goes for anything else Siri can do for you whilst driving and not being distracted. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I've just come back from collecting my son from hospital in 6-8 inches of snow. no issues and was very enjoyable in fact with winter tyres fitted. it was great moving around abandoned cars on the road. I felt safe and being a responsible driver getting my family home

Well guys as you may be aware there is now a lot of snow around and I can confirm that RX 450h f sport on winter tyres is absolutely fantastic. i had to collect my son from hospital this morning after his over night operation, so it was an essential test of the car. we overtook many abandoned cars on route and even managed a 40% gradient climb up a local hill. 8 inch's of snow where we are and the car never missed a beat, it felt firmly planted to the road. it was an essential trip so as far as I'm concerned well worth the investment as now know I can believe all the hype about these tyres. It was well worth it.👍🏻

This is very common, we had it on our old Rx400h, once a year I spent about 30mins painstakingly removing it all, I just used a very thin piece of cloth pushed into the gap with a tiny plastic tool (came in a kit with a replacement iPhone screen) and just keep moving around the edges repeating over and over again. it all came out, till next year😂

Thanks for the replies, just an update after Lexus quoted me £659 for a pair, whilst in for its 10K service today and having winter tyres fitted I get an email from the service manager see below.so I ring him back and say yes please 😀 £200 plus VAT fitted. very happy with their customer service also as we had a loan NX300 dropped off as a loan whilst they had our car, which they collected and brought back to our home round trip 85 miles away. also got them to change the colour of panoramic view car from grey on the display to our colour "Blue" and new rear door seals FOC under warranty. Apart from that the car has been faultless 👍🏻 Good morning Mr G--------- We have a set of side plates in stock that we removed from a showroom vehicle before it was sold. I can offer these to you at a drastically reduced price. Please would you call me and I can discuss the deal? If you are busy this morning, Email me back if you get the message first. Kind regards

Just an update really, winter tyres fitted at Lexus whilst having its 10K service, Yokohama W drive. lexus will store original tyres and swop over for free for the first year then £100 each year, or I'll have them back and store myself once I find some other rims at a competitive price.

Shame about the translucent plates not being available. so the ebay link is for an rx350?? is that the USA version of a UK generation 4 RX450 as a little confused as picture on listing does not look square type? or am I being a bit thick, as a newbie

Yes 4th generation

Ok so you've got me intrigued now, so just taken off my scuff plate. the "LEXUS" script is in black so sadly not translucent so no light can pass through. so I bet lexus don't just sell the steel lexus plate in translucent variety?? if they do it looks easy to fit an LED blue strip light underneath the steel plate. the electrical connector is their ready. The steel LEXUS plate is just double sided sticky taped down with small black clips keeping it in place within the black plastic scuff surround. see pictures attached, just drimmel cut a small section and scraped off the double sided sticker from beneath to make sure no light could pass through👎🏻 If we could just get the BLACK "Lexus" section replaced with a translucent "lexus" it would be so so easy to fit the lights passing through. anyone know if that's possible, as £400 on ebay as it just a "blue light" it would greave me to pay that for a light😨

My car has two reverse lights one each side, has transformed the view from the camera👍🏻

Hi everyone on my old rx400h I had scuff door plates that were illuminated and I currently run the f sport with premier pack but I do miss the light emanating from the scuff plates. So firstly I contacted my dealer and they quoted my a staggering £659 for a pair😟 Now they are on UK ebay for just over £400 a pair. but my question to you guys is, anyone here in the UK done this upgrade as I was going to pull one of my plates up and see it those can just be fitted with a BLUE backlight (I haven't checked yet). i believe all the power connections are already underneath the scuff plate so it's just plug and play. by the way I can HIGHLY recommend changing the reverse bulbs to LED type bulbs as it makes a massive difference reversing in the Dark nights now, but quick fix you can do👍🏻

Hi guys thank you for your replies everyone. just shown the wife those videos and it's a no brainier 👍🏻 Winters tyres all round, I'll keep an eye out for a spare set of alloys for 450 so I can just swop the set myself at home. many thanks also reading off the forum, I've ordered some LED reverse bulbs to help when reversing in the dark as the normal bulbs don't help when looking through the camera, you can hardly see anything. cheers

Hi guys my car is due it's first service this weekend and I'm thinking of having some winter tyres fitted whilst their i've never had winter tyres on any of my cars before, what are your thoughts---- total waste of money? £900 its the main kid transporter in our family and the wife drives it the most, my thinking is just the safety in the cold winter being able to stop and Manoeuvre on ice/snow and better stopping in rain. had zero issues with my RX done 10k in 12 months without a problem just like our old rx400h, great cars.
