thanks Steve Colin i will try that today

Hi all Just noticed last few days on motorway there is wind noise coming in through windscreen as anybody else had this and is there a cure it seems to be coming just above centre vents i didnt have radio too loud maybe its been there and i have not noticed it I had better start turning volume up

fill the car up and make sure gas tank cap fully on for some unexplained reason this happens if you run it low on fuel it will go off after a few restarts

As Micheal says you may have found your problem if plug is taped up that doesnt bode well for the plug being watertight

the one on the sensor at back of grill but i havnt got a 450h I was just wondering that if it has had a clout it may be dislodged worth a try surely robert

Just a point have you checked the plug maybe it needs to be pulled out and reinserted as it looks like its hit something at sometime just my two penworth

Hi Mazher Have you tried US Ebay theres one here Lexus toyota distance sensor Pcs pre collision system

Mike the one im thinking of looking at as got Dab but it was a option from 2010 models on cant comment on batterys Robert

Hi Carl Im useing Toyo Proxes GF1 they are silent but a bit hummy on gravel roads but motorway silent but i dont go much over 80 hope that helps Robert

wow 155 never been that fast only in aircraft lol 80 ish is my prefered speed and my car is very quiet and not much road noise i am on Toyo tyres

Thanks ever so much for your comments i am going to have a run out this weekend and have a look at it Quietness and refinement is what i aspire to Revy and loud exhaust do my head in I love the serenity of my gs so maybe the 450 will be even better Once again thank you all for your replies Robert

Hi all I am thinking of changing my 55 gs300 for a 10 gs450 are they a good car My 300 is silky smooth and quiet is the CVT more noisy I have read somewhere that it is allways reving as though not sure what gear it is in I also note it as lower profile tyres does this make more road noise does the hybrid cause any problems My Gs 300 runs perfectly i must admit but i have had it 3.5 years now and thought i would change up I hope i can get a good report from you gs450 owners Thank You Robert

have you had the trim off around the gear lever as the tpms cpu is under there it could not have been connected or cable trapped worth checking reason why i say this when i purchased my car that light was on and nothing would turn it off so i walked away man said ill knock 200 of price and you can get it sorted yourself He then rang me and tried again to sell it me but i said you get it error free and ill think about it Any way the upshot was he did put it into Lexus stoke who said the CPU as gone cost 500 so they did it But i did ring him and asked if it was a common problem and he said people disturb the plug/wires fitting stuff in there So now it was fixed and i bought no trouble since

Thanks for that Giedrius I got local garage to put some large washers like you said and all done charged me 15 pound I did price one up at Lexus £64 for a peice of bacofoil good god whats it coming to, how they could justify that is beyond me robert

Came from dropping off Neibour i had window down and heard rattle from back I thought something serious but on inspection when i got home it was the rear silencer Heat shield hanging off I helped it off and the holes have corroded bigger and was ready for falling off The question will it be ok to run without it or do i need to replace it TIA Robert

Yes Mike thats the way thanks for sharing I wager there are loads of gs s running round with that lever broke Even dealers break them Best thing to do is lock glove box when took for service and change it yourself mine was broken after it first sevice in my ownership they said they didnt break it but they repaired it with a repair kit that you can now buy from Lexus only requires glovebox out the did it in less than an hour Robert

Hi Giles Yes on further thought i too concur that it will not be possible it was just that the clunky old 600/400 display annoys me but not the end of the world Thanks for your reply Robert

Thanks Most informative but that would be beyond me but certainly looks good

Hi all I was wondering if any of you learned gents could help me I have the chance of a Mark levinson Head unit from a 2006 and was thinking of exchanging it with my premium Head unit. It is not for the extra speakers just for the display as I think the Marl Levinson is High Definitation 1 will it go straight in 2 Will i need to also change amp if so i will abort it 3 will everything work as before i e camera ,climate controls thanks in anticipation Robert

yes mine is same ariel for fm is in rear window but not sure of the route of the cables etc but im sure i will figure it out Would appreciate pics of installation

Hi Michael i shall watch with interest i did think of the vaistech but that will only do IPhone etc i really want dab of course iphone input would be ok but not too bothered about that i will research the alpine ez Dab would appreciate any info you have thanks Robert

Hi all As anyone had a Dab Addon fitted and what make as im thinking of getting one but looks like a jungle out there Gs300 55 reg thanks

Colin i too thought that was the case but the tech said the converter cant be drained they charged me for 3 litres of fluid

Just like to pass on my experience at Toyota Dealership I had been contemplating a fluid change as my car as now reached 85kand have read around this mileage the solonoids can get lazy with old fluid maybe an alarmist knee jerk reaction but i contacted lexus said yes we can change it around 200. I thought as the toyota garage is only 2 miles from me ill contact them their answer was of course we can change it 69.99 fixed price so i gave them go ahead but when i got there said would be 2 hour job The tech brought me a little phial of the fluid and it was as black as coal he said certainly wanted changing any way job is done and car seems to change gear really seamlessly ill not say its a vast improvement but there is a difference in how it changes gear kickdown seems crisper Robert

have you initilised it correctly press up and hold till it goes through its sequence tilt drop open close then let go of button mine lets air in with shade open its not too bad with shade closed i do believe the glass should be just a bit lower than the roof
