sorry to hijack but Lee where in Notts did you get your tracking done after all the work you did on it? Mine is getting ready but not happy with Lexus Nottingham. Paul

John Mine had been routed to the central armrest.

Mine was already installed when purchased. The selection is through CD Not DVD but DVD plays my music discs which can be confusing. You need to power up the Ipod and select music and go from there, not cracked the playlist layout yet though I just have all tracks in one folder. I also leave it on all the time so just need to select CD and it plays where it left off. I think it goes into a standby mode but as it was acquired solely for the car I still don't know how it should work. Ill have to ask my grandson!!!

I too have an old Ipod connected and just have to select cd mode and it plays with full control form steering wheel switches.

Ganesh, From above, same method as Alexander above used apart from removing coolant reservoir. He said it was extremely physically tight to get his hands in and the sensor tight, but that's common.

Update Dave at Lex-Tekautos fitted a new sensor for me today and all seems fine but wallet considerably lighter. Its the first GS. 450h he's done and was surprised at how much he had to dismantle to gain access.

My 2009 GS450h has a vent tube.

The wood looks like a broken shaft of a panel beaters hammer.

+1 on the door switch, it may also affect the locking of the doors. It was the auto lights not switching off that led me to the switch on mine.

I would also suggest a check for damp carpets etc as you may have an excess of moisture in the cabin to have to use demisting so much.

Hopefully Mark, its the first time using him but have not heard 1 bad report.

Alexander As I have serious heart problems and a bad back I chickened out and have booked it into Lex-Tek Autos at Sheffield for after the new year. I could just about stand up after my initial investigations which influenced my decision and after reading your case I am reassured for me that its best. Not beyond my skills but not the physicality.

My extended warranty on my GS ended on Nov 30. Dec 5th EML light came on, typical !!

many obstacles if I have chance I'll post a photo.

Unfortunately Phil I don't think there's as much room on the 450h as there is on the 300 and there's not much room on that. Was there a lot of stripdown to gain access?

Checked using both my sons blue-point reader and techstream. just thought if I could swap bank 1 to bank 2 it would confirm sensor fault as opposed to other. Its showing bank 2 sensor 1 at fault.

Evening all readers I have the code for 02 sensor appear. Question is how best to access the pre cat sensors, sensor 1 on my GS450h, from bellow or above. I have been unable to find anything on here or club lexus or google. Can anyone advise please before I get too involved. Also can they be swapped bank to bank to aid elimination. TIA Paul

Lexus Nottingham had my GS for 2 days trying to work out why the interior light sometimes operated and sometimes not. Despite me telling them on 4 separate occasions that if you touched the entry switch on the "B" pillar only slightly they would operate and if off would turn them on and visa versa. After tracing wires and control units for 2 days they eventually changed the switch that I had pointed them to. I did have to lose my rag though. Consequently I shall not be returning and have no confidence in their abilities. I feel your pain Colin.

Hi John It was my interpretation following a quick read through of the exclusions, however the situation has now been resolved with no charges levied. Following discussions and receiving their video to explain to me their findings which showed them to be working on the wrong side of the vehicle and totally, on the two occasions they have looked into this, they have ignored my personal findings and gone straight into stripping to wiring level. they finally today at my insistence checked the switch that I had told them was troublesome at the outset and found it to be faulty. My Lexus Extended Warranty expires at the end of the month and I shall be visiting another dealership in the future!!!!

Hi People Duplicate of posting on Facebook site of Owners Club I have extended Lexus Warranty on my GS450h. It is in Lexus dealership as it has an intermittent fault on the interior and puddle lights. Dealer has said that warranty covers repair but not the for diagnosis. I have checked the warranty schedule and don't agree with them. Any thoughts on the situation (not the fault)

Mind are a friction fit

John My 98 Camry Sport had a similar problem when I first bought it and after a lot of testing it turned out to be a micro fuse on the rear of the actual socket. Paul

I agree, the MOT was in December and it was agreed then to leave further assessment until service. The phone call prompted me to post as in conversation with the caller he indicated that it was unlikely to be covered under extended warranty, so I was just interested if anyone had a successful claim. Paul

Hi all Just received a call from my local dealer asking if I would like to take my car in for a free safety check due to the identification at MOT of Nearside Front Lower Suspension rod pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i)) Offside Front Lower Suspension rod pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement (5.3.4 (a) (i)) My question is would this be covered under extended warranty or has anyone had theirs changed under warranty? It is left at the moment as service is due in April. T.I.A. Paul

I have used the repellent for years I use it on all but front windscreen as it's smeary particularly when the temperature is low. The product you have Phil is great for the shower cubicle.and house windows but surprisingly not so good for the car. Make sure you follow the repellent instructions exactly.
