Antique

OK panic over found the button. Thanks everyone.

Thanks everyone but I don't know where the auto fold button is, didn't know it had one. Don't keep me in suspense< where is this magic button

I have a 2013 RX450h. My outside wing mirrors have suddenly stopped folding when locking. Is there a reset button because I have checked the fuses and they appear to be ok. HELP

Hi everyone. managed to get the correct items from Lexus accessories in Swindon. Lexus at Reading sent me a graph of the relevant parts with part numbers, unfortunately they were wrong and the parts department at Swindon put the right ones in. It was quite straight forward because as said the arch covers are very pliable. One down, one to go!!! the CD player has swallowed one of my CDs. It will not play it but I can load a second one and it plays it. Annoyed because the lost one is the sound track from Gladiator. I have checked the user manual but it seems to show a different layout and I can't select CD. Any ideas how to get the disc out? if I can i will copy it to memory stick and avoid the CD player. Any suggestions accepted.

Yes sounds sensible, I suppose it is a case of suck it and see. What could possibly go wrong? Did watch a YouTube from some fellar in the USofA, anything they can do we can do better, except golf Thanks

managed to get the correct replacement for my 450h from Lexus supplies at Swindon. They corrected the part number that Lexus have on the diagram so good firm. It looks like I will have to undo the one in situ to be able to fit the new one. My question is, has anyone done this and if yes any tips would be gratefully accepted, don't want to do any damage.

Yes that's right. OK I will go to Lexus if I can find someone interested in such a minor sale. China did cost much so if they are wrong no loss. Thanks

Thanks but not the same, the one's on my car secure the arch liner to the front bumper/wing and are a squarish shape slightly tapered. Ordered what I think are the same (from china) due in October. Update then. Thanks again

OK, I understand leaving it on is best but it drain fuel when I might just need a short burst of warm air. I will however accept the advice to leave it on. It was straight forward on my 2004 Lexus RX300, just press a button. Thanks guys for knowledge. Stay safe

Tried to read the RX450h user manual, so much information but not what I would like to know. Can you run the heater without it being in Air Con.

I have just discovered that one of the retaining clips securing the wheel arch cover and bumper is missing. Goggled it find some that look right but says for Toyota fender???. Anyone got a photo of the right one or a link. eBay has some (packs of 10 or 20) but doesn't say for Lexus 450h.

Thanks Herbie, I thought for a moment I had a problem. Just part exchanged my 2004 Lexus RX300 with no problems and I know how expensive one of these cars can be and how they "Fail" the MOT. Clever . Thanks again Regards

Just bought a wonderful 2013 RX450h Luxury. When I did the test drive I didn't notice this light, it could have been aluminate but where it is is not very noticeable. The light says "Passenger Air Bag on" is this a fault or normal, the passenger seat is unoccupied.

OK! update. I received the used replacement rear light for my Lexus RX300 and a good point was it still had the bulb and fittings in so i could practice removing them. I gave to be honest I was not looking forward to this job. I started off removing the panel in the back of the car but struggled to remove the bulb fittings, especially the one right out of sight, didn't have enough strength in my fingers to turn it. Eventually got them all out and started to release the 3 nuts only to find 2 were 6MM and 10mm so more aggro. I think Lexus made this job very difficult on purpose so they can charge a fortune for doing it. So with a small spanner, because a socket was not possible on 2 of the nuts I managed to get them off without dropping any. Replacing was a little easier because of lessons learnt but still very difficult because of needing to get the nuts tight enough. So after a few cut knuckles finally back inn now all I needed was to find it didn't work, because it is impossible to connect up before fitting. Eureka, all works. If I am ever faced with this job again I will scrap the car instead. Used light in great condition, good value at £65, still not sure how one would exchange the circuit board though. Any way thanks everyone for your help and encouragement. Stay safe

OK guys here is a picture of the one on eBay, claims it is for the 2003/4 RX300. Good clean lens undamaged, bit ropy inside. It's green part that might be a circuit board. What do you think. I have made an offer but will not decide until you give the OK.

Hi Colin Barber. Clicked your link numbers and all I got was a Volvo. As I said in my message about when I spoke with the parts department at Lexus Reading he asked for my registration which i presume gives them all the details of my vehicle. he then went on to tell me the price was £170 excluding the circuit board. When I look at the one on eBay there does appear to be some kind of printed circuit board but also it does appear to show the leads going to where the bulbs are. I will see if I can take a picture of it. Might also be an idea if I look in the manual about replacing bulbs. Oh for the good old days when you just removed a few screws and replaced the glass. Regards

Good morning Jay, yes I was thinking the same, the one on eBay has the electric cables attached so could possibly just be a straight swap. They appear to be open to nearest offer. Thanks for all your help and advice and I am sure the pictures you posted will help, pity it is not the other side because I am right handed but will have to use left hand to release and refit the nuts, not so dexterous. I will try to update you as and when I fit the replacement. Incidentally the Lexus price was £170 without the circuit board. Thanks again Keep safe

Good morning Jaystar77 Had a word with the parts department at Lexus Reading. He tells me the outer lens is not replaceable it comes a one unit. What surprised me, apart from the price was that when you buy it brand new it doesn't come with the circuit board. It didn't sound as if it might be a difficult job so give me a price and I will make the decision whether to accept your deal or buy the one on eBay that looks complete. Regards

Had a look inside the boot area and you are right it is fiddly, must have done that on purpose so it made it difficult for DIY. Managed to send a picture, as you can see I have covered it with cellotape. Pity you can't just change the glass (plastic) part like in the old days. Are the set in your photo the one to buy. Just as a point of information where are these based, just in case you are close enough for me to click and collect if we go ahead and to save any more of your time it might be best if you can give me a price. Regards Stay safe

Hi there Jaystar77, Sorry didn't mean to hassle you I think it was the sunny weather. The damage to my housing it to the plastic outer casing. As I said it was a diesel pump gun that landed on the top and put a hole in it at the top, which has let the rain in. Didn't realise there is a circuit board involved. Also I had been led to believe the bolts holding the assembly in were accessed from the outer tailgate frame but I bow to your experience. I will have to have a look inside the boot compartment. Thanks for getting back to me. Tried to upload a photo but failed. There is a hole in the outer glass (plastic) at the top.

Hi Jaystar77, Haven't heard from you so wonder if your option is still on the table. Stay safe

Sounds encouraging, the awkward question arises is price and how do I pay you? coincidentally I have found one on eBay, not in a rush though. Very kind of you to take the time to include fitting instruction. I did watch a YouTube video of some chap in USA showing how. It looks like on our model you have to remove the black cover in the tailgate channel and the bolts are under there but from the photo of the one on eBay it looks like it has a clip that locks in place. My light was damaged when I went to fill up and the previous user hadn't put the diesel pump back properly so when I removed the petrol gun it pulled the diesel pump out and it hit the top of the light breaking the plastic cover. Unable to get compensation from ASDA, said their CCTV didn't cover that area! Absolutely shocked at the price Lexus quoted + VAT and labour. Look forward to hearing from you. Stay safe Regards

Hi, it certainly looks the same. I am reliably informed by ColinBarber that they are the same 2003/04. I will be happy to find out about your "option" used Drivers side (UK) rear outer assembly appears to be in short supply for the Lexus RX300, so reliable, everything one would desire in a car and sadly so unfavourable now. Thank you for your interest and i look forward to being emlightened. Stay safe Regards

Yes sorry didn't confirm by outer meaning the part fitted in the rear wing

Thanks, that's all I wanted to know so I didn't make a mistake and only find out after I had removed the damaged one. Can't believe they are in such short supply considering when looking on the scrap sites, some look in quite good condition outwardly so I expect they are MOT failures. Thanks again and stay safe.
