Hi, can any one help? I need to replace the rear wheel bearing on my RX400h 2006. What size is the hub nut. I tried a 30mm and a 32mm (both 6 point) and the don't fit. I have read that it needs a 12 point 32mm, will this really be different to a 32mm 6 point? Thanks

Everything worked on my steering wheel except  the cruise would not always switch on. Or if it switched on you might not be able to set the speed. Dead easy to swap. 30 mins at most.

Yep the clock spring interfaces everything on the steering wheel. Mine was an intermittent problem. I thought it was the switch but it was easy to test and worked fine, after all it is Just a switch. Apparently the clock springs are the most likely part to fail. Which is probably why what his full of them.

This is it

The cruise control on my rx stopped working it was the clock spring (a big coil of cable hidden at the top of the steering column) not the switch. I bought a cheep one from eBay for about £20 easy to fit and still working 30k miles later.

I just took my Battery to halfords and said can I have one of these. The counter person said yes and got one for me. I left the old one with them. And went home and fitted the new Battery. Can't understand where the issue is. as said it is just a Battery, its not witchcraft.

Well I just spent a happy hour or 2 fitting a cheap camera. Easy job and it works a treat. Thanks for letting us know how to do this.

Thanks for the info you are giving us. I have ordered a camera and will be replacing my broken camera this weekend. As for the height link. Mine broke as yours did. Seized and then snapped in half. I removed the link, freed off the joints with some wiggling and oil. I welded the broken threaded part back together. A year later and it is still working well. I also use parts from https://www.igus.co.uk/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw3v3YBRCOARIsAPkLbK6f5-k18SsvczlAVIHAQ3u_zA6nt3FicyGhiKS7 at work and a little searching on their website found 2 suitable joints in plastic so unlikely to rust. Know the company and being a regular customer allowed me to get some samples for when the parts fail again. May be worth a look on there website.

I do like these tips on how to save cash on dealer costs.

I fix and service mine. 2006 400h with 115k miles on it. In the last 1.5 years it has had a service and repairs to the "clock spring" to fix the none operating cruise control. I also had a problem with the self leveling lights which I fix with a bit of welding. Service parts are easy from Euro car parts. And the clock spring was a few quid from eBay. Nothing else has needed work. But it does only cover  about 7k miles a year. Parts don't seem to be too difficult to get but then again they don't go wrong often.

I fixed mine about 6 months ago by removing the threaded part , freeing off the seized ball joint with a bit of oil and a wiggle. Then welded the broken threaded part and reasembled. Been fine since. Even though i expected it to fail quite quickly. Cost not a lot at all.

I had auto glass replace my screen and the guy was very careful and did an excellent job. I was very pleased. The only issue was he had forgotten to return the key for the car he did before mine and had to return it before starting my car, delaying the job by 30 mins. Perfect job and no issues at all after 4 months of use.

I got a replacement key from my local key cutting shop, just swapped the inside over cost about £10. Took a few minutes to sort.

Finally got round to checking this out again. turns out the switch is fine but the clock spring was the problem. fitted a new one today and all is working properly  now.

Thanks but it has nothing to do with the gear being in b or the speed. went to Birmingham today and the cruise worked fine on the way there but would not switch on on the way back. I am thinking it must be the switch even though I tested the resistances and all were ok. Think I need to do more tests.

My 2006 rx400h has intermittent cruise control. sometimes it switches on ok. if it switches on it works fine. But most times pressing the button does not switch on the cruise control. I have checked the resistances on the switch and they seem fine. any thoughts as to where the problem may be?
