  1. All connectors are located at the back of radio unit. Could be a loose connection. You will have to pull the radio out to check.
  2. Just put of curiosity it's not the ASC that you have dialed up? The Active Sound Control dial can be found on the right hand side. If dialed up it can make a droaning sound.
  3. I've always gone with OEM even when I did mines last year. I like the OEM disk at least the rear cause the centre hub comes painted from factory and looks smarter long term, I've had Bosch disc in the past and they rusted in no time making them unsightly. I have also used brembo pads in the past too. Go with whatever you prefer/can afford.
  4. You have a 2015 so it would be the HID version, and no the f-sport headlight is not different. I replaced my driver side one last year and paid around £460 from Lexus Parts Direct. I wouldn't bother with used ones on eBay as you don't know if they might have condensation or some other issues given the amount of effort you will need to go through in removing the headlight.
  5. Excuse my poor grammar. Should have been braking and not breaking! 😬 what happens when your in a rush and the brain CBA on a Friday afternoon 😂
  6. My final update on this.. turns out the caliper carrier bolts weren't anywhere near as tight as they should have been so when breaking there would have been enough slack to cause the clunk noise. All sorted by my indie garage.
  7. That's quite annoying to hear and not impressed that by 2015 they still had the issue. Also annoying have to replace parts in the car with older parts.
  8. I think you if you connect another battery in parallel so that power is not lost during the battery swap out. Otherwise safest bet is go or Lexus and let them handle it.
  9. @morg75 i thought the issue was only limited to 2013/2014 models.... Not yet heard of a 2015 having the issue but you seem to imply otherwise??
  10. So i took the brakes apart on Thursday night to clean and relubricate hoping this would resolve my issue. while its much better than before its still not solved. What i did discover was when i had the tyre off on the rear n/s (passenger) when i tried to wiggle the whole suspension/control arm section it was making a strange squeakish clunky type sound, i then checked the rear o/s (driver) and that was solid and no noise. At this point its beyond my tool and skill level, ive got friday off so will be going along to local indie to get to the bottom of the issue. since the brake clean i can replicate issue by: reverse > brake [clunk clunk] > forward > brake [clunk] and then fine for a while. Also see to get the noise when on a downward slope and braking.
  11. I bought an after market module to get the pressure reading. fitting can be seen here:
  12. my last car had it but the current one doesnt have it enabled. Yes techstream is required to enable it. Reasoning? People were accidently hitting the button on the fob resulting in window being left during rain/snow. Tbh there should have been an in-car setting option to enable it rather than techstream.
  13. Have you tried putting in the correct air presure then pressing the TMPS reset button located in the driver footwell You can refer to this video: 0:25 shows you location of it
  14. They do indeed, i spent a good 40mins last summer tapping on that undertray, the amount of debris that kept falling out was insane
  15. Fair enough, must have broken clips if it does come off again.
  16. its already sticking up, just tug upward and pull toward rear door to slide it out
  17. Only problem is you could be driving along the road and suddenly you need to slam the brakes on and that is when there is load pop like packet of crisp opening.... its scares the passengers in the car lol Now about what you have suggested car .. in Feb the car went to lexus for new front ball joint replacement, i did ask lexus to investigate the clunk sound, but they said they didnt have enough time ($$$ 🙃). so they would have had the car in the air, ive had wheel alignment done twice this year too! dont ask bloody potholes. I think i will go round the whole car and check for anything loose, but my mind keeps going to front of car as sometime when it happens it feel like its coming from the front of the car. I will start with brake pad inspection... maybe even visit indie mechanics for suggestions.
  18. The tab looks fine, its the yellow piece that you can see in the picture. I would take the whole strip off and clip it back in again.
  19. Generally shouldn't ever come loose unless someone has tried to remove it by force.
  20. Send a picture of the issue, I'm well versed with removing the chrome window strips.
  21. Reviving this topic as im still experiencing the clunk noise when breaking, it feel like it's coming from the front. Never happens over speed bump. The way to replicate the issue is to: reverse, brake <clunk> then drive forward and brake <clunk>. Really starting to p!$$ me off now. I plan to take brake pads apart for annual clean and lubrication.l in a few weeks. Looking for any other suggestions? Is it possible the control arm is loose? As I said in my earlier post it all started the day of the MOT back in January when they must have had it on the rolling road.
  22. That doesn't look right, the is300h (and is250/200t gen 3) have self leveling headlight, what you have linked to looks old skool. I replaced my headlight last year and that parts on eBay page was nowhere to be found on the headlight itself.
  23. Sounds like you are being quoted for a new headlight. Call the dealer and ask them for the part number, they will tell you. Then report back here with the part number and we'll help you with the next step.
