  1. They are available in Europe outside European union. I have seen once in traffic with Russian plates. But I can imagine it is very much easier to get one from Us if you want one. http://www.lexus(blocked word)/_nav/gx.tmex https://www.drive2(blocked word)/r/lexus/m124/ http://www.lexus.com/models/GX Or maybe you should get one :eerrrmm: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2010/04/don-t-buy-safety-risk-2010-lexus-gx-460/index.htm LandCruiser Prado would have faced same result if they would sell it there :)
  2. Sorry other uk location placement (I added about me info) does not tell much but rare in Finland. And in countryside even rarer tan capital area. During three months owning this I haven't met other Rx while driving mine.
  3. I just tested and they work without headlights with parking lights on. I can't test totally without lights as when my light switch is off position, the headlights are on for that daytime driving light need.
  4. True I agree but Rx is quite rare here. I don't know other in my town. And replacement is affected by those cars I owned before Rx (2pcs Corolla, 2pcs Hiace, 2pcs Previa, 2pcs Rav4)
  5. When I got my Rx power door did not work. Somebody had previous turn it off from the button hidden in the glove box. Owner's manual has mentioned it but as usually, didn't read it.
  6. I went with this one to local inspection, your term was Mot? They asked about the Toyota logos that is it some weird joke? ;) I look this the same as they in Japan changes Lexus badges in Toyotas and once more this car is Harrier too. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Harrier I have see here few Opel Vectras (B 95-02 model) that have Vauxhall grille.
  7. I find a bit annoying that the headlight washer works once or more when starting washing the windscreen while headlights are on (My Rx have all the time on lights, obligatory daytime driving lights on setup). It feels it just wastes the fluid when it is most needed. Easy solution could be remove the connector fromt the washer motor but that would disable the headlight washer switch is center console too. Which I do like to use when the lamp really are dirty. I looked the wiring diagrams for the solution. Could it be that easy that I think, just to disable one wire near connector IE3 (placement shown in Lhd car)? Would it take out the information that headlights are on or how? Anyone done this, any advises for the function of those Ecus? Thanks
  8. I did front too. The emblem is Toyota original item but no part number for it. It fits only for the non-hybrid grille so I got aftermarket one. Both grille and emblem is attached with nuts and screw so it is more reversible than the rear emblem.
  9. To answer myself, no it won't fit. Some mistake has happen in advertisement. I could say there is only 10-15 mm space in width, and about 10 mm in lenght and 20-35 mm in height. Really no space for anything easily available battery option. Have to figure out the dual battery setup. Edit: Us-club site thread I found this: http://www.interstatebatteries.com/1/1/12229-mega-tron-51r-automotive-battery-five-year-performance-500-cca-mt-51r.html http://www.atbatt.com/interstate-mega-tron-ii-mt-51r-automotive-battery-500-cca.asp 51Ah capacity battery that even list Rx400h as compatible model.
  10. Have anyone installed physically larger and higher capacity 12V battery in Rx400h? Here Varta E23 70Ah is advertised as RX400h battery although Varta battery selector gives B31 45 Ah: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-RX-400h-211hp-03-Varta-Blue-Heavy-Duty-12v-Car-Battery-/230720750891 Does this fit? If so, many batteries are available with width 175 mm, then most of them could fit. Stardard Rx400h battery width is given only 129 mm. I ask above things as I faced the battery problem. Previous owner had replace it 6 month ago. Car has fitted with automatic battery charger that belongs to the preheating system. For my work I need to have coolbox in the car. It has voltage regulator that turns it of if voltage goes too low (when keys on and aux mode). I had this system in previous car with no problem. So mainly it's not about bad battery but too low capacity. I went testdrive one Rx400h which had 2nd battery installed in the cargo area, the car had remote controlled Ebersprächer fuel preheat system that consumes lot of battery. I went through thread but could not find information what battery could fit instead of the normal 45 Ah battery?
  11. Rear emblem is done. It went very easily with hot air gun and because the guideance stick were in the same place in both.
  12. To make it special and because Mhu33/38 was first introduced as Toyota :) http://www.ebay.com/itm/JDM-LEXUS-RX330-RX350-HARRIER-240G-350G-FRONT-TOYOTA-GRILLE-EMBLEM-SYMBOL-MARK-/271626846863
  13. Hi! Has anyone here replaced the outer emblems/texts with Harrier ones? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-JDM-TOYOTA-HARRIER-REAR-EMBLEM-SET-OF-3-FOR-LEXUS-RX-330-350-GENUIE-/221531121458 Edit: I found some threads, the search function worked badly as it uses google engine, script blocker stopped showing any results in search. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/25214-replacing-front-grille-emblem/ Has anyone done the grill replacement to get the Toyota sign not the Harrier in the front?
  14. But could it be possible to use just universal folding kit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Intelligent-Car-Auto-Side-Rear-View-Mirror-Folding-System-UK-Shipping/191162049633 I did my Rav4 with it http://www.rav4world.com/forums/97-4-3-exterior/63262-retractable-wing-mirrors-3.html#post912785 Rav4 has the same switch only positioned in the center console. With it you need to connect to the signal from fold button and door lock/unlock and acc. The solution offered in thread http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/83673-remote-auto-folding-side-mirrors-for-lexus-rx300400h-anyone-had-excperience/ connects somehow straight to the mirror motor wires and door lock wires inside the door.
