Alan ,             hi  been reading manual but cannot find reference to beeps, rang local dealer but had no idea, the chappy who is clued up about the system was off work. next time in hull will pop in for a coffee and ask again, he's very good ,My RX which I traded in did nit have this on the system [2013] so it may be only on the latest models. will let you know when I find out.regards polish  ps enjoy your holls

thank peter, never though of speed camera's should be safe from the greedy , never speed with the kids in the car.was heavy traffic so wasn't going fast.

sorry rayaans,.  I was referring the handling to the Volvo It was a d5 sport more like 5 SER/BM,n I am not experiencing any of the problems others are getting. the car is still brand new so time will tell with age faults will [ maybe  ] appear.  polish

I think I must have a very well set up car ,it holds the road a lot better than the RX it replaced. Before I moved to Lexus I ran Volvo for many years last one was S80 fine car. theGS is on a par with theS80 but is a lot quieter. The only time I have had a noisy ride so far was a patch on the M18 very old course surface, wind noise was an issue for me in the RX but this car very quiet, I have not seen the lux version so carn't comment, but my three gandkids fit ok,thats all i'm botherd about . my onley criticism so far ,may be i'm wrong but it could do with larger electric moter,better qualified people will no dought tell me so .

hi guys, lots of comments regarding RX/GS change, just been on round trip to west of Manchester to see grandkids, car was very impressive on the drive .the RX would have me relocating my derriere several times even thou it was comfy 'the GS was superb, never moved once I was settled in my seat.car ran faultless all the way average on readout on dash 42 impressive. I stayed with the traffic 70+most of the time car just a standard GS executive. as I say very impressed .must be the car ? her who must be obeyed fell asleep coming back ontop of windy hill as I said VERY impressed. still finding new toys it has as standard ,on my old stamping grounds around the country lanes it is a lot better than the RX only thing we miss so far is the hatchback of the RX.  polish.

hi every body, I seem to have solved the problem regards wind noise from drivers door.

Had a good check of all doors and found a small spongy rubber just above the black strip on the inside of front door .

this seems to be fastened with litle [pimples] about evey 3inchs ,this was hanging down in the middle ,fixed by double sided tape,back

in place. this has cured wind noise, back to peace&quiet and all seems ok thak you all for the tips ,polish

thanks for that, never thought about silicone spray?.

been out to Sheffield recently it was raining ,when we got there on opening the doors the door shuts were filthy both sides and inside of the seals.

the back doors hardly ever used were clean ? could this be just warn seals , car is still under warranty but havn't involved lexus yet.

on the m62 was traveling at 70mph could the speed be to blame wind noise was also high .many thanks for your help POLISH

hi , I have developed a load wind roar on drivers side,thought the door was open so slowed down to a crawl,opened /shut door wind noise markedley less. same again on jurney home ,checked all windows fully shut. still same when I got home checked door seal , ran fingers all around seal to make sure seated ok .Next trip ok comming ,but comming home same thing loud wind noise.? thinking about cars over 50years motoring from the old greymatter smeared some vaseline over seals,seems to have worked.Has any body got an issue with door seal on the RX.only don 11k on 13 plate ,.regards polish

hi re wing mirror, when in auto the mirror would swing 180deg to face forward so had to use in manual mode .Dealer said that mirror has been forced round breaking internals. Lexus does not do repairs just replacements expensive?.

Anyway the car, her in doors and me wanted took 18 months searching on net mostly lexus sights .London to Newcastle found it at Manchester,they offered to drive it to my home do paper work over coffee couldn't have been nicer still get calls from them to check everything ok even though have service done in leeds. hope you get a good one its well worth waiting for . goodluck

hi russell my first was a secondhand rx400 bought from lexus dealer. was a bought in car with some service history missing. It was a gamble to take with missing service history,but they said that they could check on there system for its sevicing records .they showed it was serviced by the original dealer.

can you get the reg and take to your local dealer to check , better safe than sorry .mine had to have a new wing mirror fitted £650 so check be careful .

hi folks' this is my first time on the blog. I too have had poor reception with dab [not M.L] but I find the further south I go the better

the dab reception . Here in Yorkshire the dab seams very intermittent, may be the hills are blocking the signal ? but when in Manchester with the grandkids its fine ,or is it my old ears that's playing up .
