Hi Guys, 

could I get your help with the attached codes please? For my GS430.

I bought the device to reset my tyre pressure warning light that won’t go off, but I got this code instead 😬

thanks

Did you get anything done to the exhaust? I really wanna hear the V8 more but unsure what route to go down! Don’t want it to drone 

No didn’t have any joy mate, without spending silly money.

Hi Herbie,
                Thank you very much for your post and for not giving up on me. I wrote two MacroDroid macros copying yours and this time they worked! Maybe sliding the ON/OFF slider to ON on the MacroDroid homepage may have helped! I got this message during the process:-

but I'm running EMUI 12 which is equivalent to Android 10 so it has less chance of being problematic.

We will see if Huawei rejects it at some later date but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

My apologies for not sorting this out when you first advised me about MacroDroid, Herbie, and again thank you very much for reiterating the information.

You mention an intention to buy a TP-Link M7350? Was this a joke? I'm intending to send mine back now that you have helped me get an automated system. I would have thought that 75 Gb of data is going to keep you going for a good few years yet. MY mobile contract is with EE where I get 10 GB a month, not able to be accumulated, for £11. I think that amount of data should be OK unless I want to watch movies on my phone, or on the Lexus come to that.

Right now back to domestic problems - how to fit a 1200 mm shower tray in a room that is only big enough for a 1100 mm one. I have a cunning plan.....

I'll let you know about both the Vline/Huawei phone and the shower tray as time progresses.

Regards,
Barry

Hi bud, did you ever find a good resolution to this? 
thanks

Morning guys,

I need some advice regarding the Grom vline for my GS430.

The issue is I need a permanent hot spot  in the car for the Grom and my dash cam. 
I’m having trouble finding something suitable that will work, and that will remain on while the car is turned off (for the dash cam) 

I’m wondering if anyone has this or something similar setup in their car.

Thanks

Seems a reasonable price. Will it make the car sound better - depends on your definition of better but they should be able to tailor the design to meet your needs.

Thanks bud 👍🏻

Morning guys,

hope you’re all well, just need some on advice on the below please. It’s a new cat back system from Tony Banks. Just wondering if £599 is a decent price and will it make the car sound better.

thanks

My car was sold at copart Chester after being written off, hardly any damage as well. I was very surprised.

if a forum member has bought it, I’ve still got the log book/spare key if you want it. It’s recently had an MOT so I’m assuming it’s back on the round 👍🏻👍🏻

I joined this Club in 2013 when I acquired my first Lexus - a black LS400 Mk IV, with the gold badges and wooden wheel and everything. It only ever let me down once, though that was when I was on my way to my first Covid jab, which was a nuisance. A couple of months later I had a Morrison's home delivery and the first thing the driver said to me was "Is your Lexus for sale?" So I had a think about it and despite failing its MOT (needed new discs and pads all round), he was prepared to pay what I had paid for it back in 2013. So all of a sudden, I was Lexusless but with two grand in my pocket.

So I started to look at other models in the Lexus range. Long story short - yesterday I bought a 2008 RX400h with 107K on the clock, full Lexus service history and everything tickety-boo except the wheels, which I will need to get refurbished. But right now, I'm enjoying being back in a Lexus, back in the Club, and gaining lots of information from all your expert posts.

Welcome back, fingers crossed the timing belt service has been done 🤞🤞👍🏻👍🏻

I’ve just been quoted £1155 for a 3 year essential plan, keep in mind that’s 2 majors and 1 minor.

I also have the extended warranty, once it expires it can be renewed each year for £546 up to 15 years old or 150k miles.

Thanks Howard. All new to me. Read the small print closely and let us know what your experience is please.

Will do John, thanks for your input 👍🏻👍🏻

Well I’ve spoken to several dealers regarding the warranty, if a car is over 10 years old you can buy a 1 year warranty for £546. You don’t have to buy a car, just call to extend 👍🏻

My initial thoughts are that it is rubbish. Neither Bogdan nor his Supervisor have read what is written.

The Hybrid Battery is now covered for 15 years instead of 10.

The new Relax annual warranty needs to be read carefully in the context of the specific Terms and Conditions which relate to problems associated with manufacturing or assembly defects.

Jesus, you’d like to assume they know what there talking about. 
thanks for that 👍🏻

Little update, according to Lexus it seems more favourable for older cars. Extended warranty has moved up for 15 year old cars and 150k miles. At a similar cost.

what’s your thoughts on this?

We can but wait and see Howard.

Fingers crossed 🤞

Not a snowballs chance in hell Howard. It is costing them too much money.

It`ll be interesting to see how successful members are with claiming under the new Relax system !

I reckon it will be 80% NO and 20% YES, but we shall see. (Pareto rules ! )

Bummer, if they start playing those games they’ll loose a lot of customers. Including myself.

Just now, royoftherovers said:

Stick with the Extended Warranty until it expires. It is far, far, better.

I`ve stuck with mine until September 2023 Howard.

Thanks, yes I will do thanks. I can’t even see it on there website any more, do you think you’ll be able to extend it after that?

It's now apparently called: "Lexus Relax" and includes 12 months' warranty, up to 100,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.

Sounds good if your car is under 10 years old and less than 100k. What about if your car is above that? Mine is and at 112k but under Lexus extended warranty.

Hi All, I’ll be planning to view a couple of cars this week, so if you are thinking of selling your RX450H or know of a nice example then let me know.

Hi

I may consider selling my 2011 60 RX450H 112k, black/black leather, just serviced by Lexus and under Lexus warranty 👍🏻

Hi All,

 

Hope you are well. 

Having owned a couple of excellent RX300’s in the past, I am considering buying an RX450h. It’ll be the model from 2009-2012 and must have been well looked after. If you are thinking of selling or know someone who may be, then let me know. 
 

Thanks

Jules.

What’s your budget mate? Pit as must details on here of what spec and mileage you want. You might catch someone’s eye 👍🏻

New to this. Just joined. 
I am looking at this thread. 
I have a 2017 RX 450h 

looking at these prices above they seam very reasonable. But Lexus have not quoted me these prices. 
please may I ask what age of car do these prices kick in. 

My 450h has done 34k 
regards. 

Try and quotes from your closest two dealerships, you will often get a discount to keep your business. I almost matched the essential service price. 👍🏻

Lexus labour rates are high and so are some of their parts (whilst some others are reasonably priced).  If you have neither the confidence  nor the inclination to do the work suggested by Lexus, you could get it done by a well recommended mechanic or garage at less cost.  If they can machine the worn disks and still keep them within spec this might also be worth investigating.  It would be advisable to fit new OE quality pads at the same time and otherwise new OE quality disks and pads which whoever does the job could fit.  The service brake could be sorted out at the same time.  Timing of work could be influenced by date MOT is due.

 

Thanks mate, I had it done in the end. To be fair the foot brake is a lot tighter. Yes I’ll look at that, also Lexus parts direct has a brake set on sale for £139.20 so seems a bargain there.

One can only judge whether the price is reasonable when you know the extent of the work and the reasonable time it would take to do the job.  I have not adjusted a cable where the leverage is applied by foot rather than by hand but otherwise think the principle is the same.  On most cars where I have done this it's fairly easy to get to the adjusting nuts beneath the car or by removing a small section of consul within the car beneath which the adjusting nuts are located.  However, the problem is not always entirely one of a stretched cable.  Sometimes where service braking is achieved by friction material on shoes within the hat of the discs there is often a self adjusting mechanism that doesn't always work well or gets partially seized, so tightening the cable may not be all that is needed.  In these circumstances it may be necessary to free off, clean and adjust this mechanism and only then take up the slack on the cable.  Should this be necessary, it will add to the time to ensure a proper actuation of the service brake.

Inspect, identify, consider action, select appropriate action, implement, inspect, yeah, seems cheap at £108 !

Thanks John 👍🏻

Foot-break maybe? 

( I would expect there to be an extra labour cost, but not unreasonable for them to clarify to you, what and why and how necessary... )

Yes sorry the foot brake, they just said it’s not as it should be. Never mentioned dangerous etc. It is a simple job? I’m assuming a quick tighten and can’t see why it’s so much. Thanks 👍🏻 

Hi Guys, 

Quick question for you if you don't mind, my RX450h is in Lexus now for a service. They say the brake cable needs tightening at a cost of £108, isn't something like this included in the service?

thanks
