Mine was severely corroded when dealer tried one on when I bought it. The pipe comes from tank over the rear axle then up in the wheel arch. If they change it make sure you put some under seal on it as paint that is on it is thin as hell and mine was scratched back to the metal when Lexus installed it. Glad I didn’t pay for it.

New Brake Discs for RX450H
granadaman replied to Kopper's topic in RX 300 / RX 350 / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h Club
Make sure they don’t bleed the brakes without a tech stream or you will have an expensive trip to Lexus. The 450 bleeds by the abs pump. I changed front and rear disc and pads, straight forward to do and you will have the satisfaction of knowing they are cleaned and greased properly. -
Air conditioning cool not cold
granadaman replied to Kopper's topic in RX 300 / RX 350 / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h Club
Did that on a navara I had, got a hole in rad at the front Nissan Wanted £350 plus £200 labour. Sourced new rad £95 and took an hour to replace. Went to local Halfords £50 to regas. So main dealer not always the best. On another note my 450 wasn’t cold and had no leaks detected by Lexus as they did a neg pressure test, but needed topping up to get cold. -

Anyone had one of these fitted http://www.catsafe.org.uk/index.html, it’s an American idea but these seem to be the uk agents, a little cheaper than catloc for bottom 2 models they sell

Service advice please
granadaman replied to hprice1099's topic in RX 300 / RX 350 / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h Club
Major service last week Lexus Leeds, the handbrake was adjusted foc. When I did mine 2 years ago,The rear discs were £90 from Andrew page and £22 for the pads off eurocar parts. Bought a seals kit off eBay for the pin boots and serviced them my self, the pins were cleaned and re greased no issues. Don’t bleed the brakes yourself without a tech stream or it will be a expensive trip to Lexus as you use the abs pump to bleed. Lexus did £109 to fit me a new heat shield on rear exhaust. Put a self tapper and washer on for 20p so saved a bit there. -
Just to throw this in the mix mine went faulty 2 years ago for about two weeks start of January then worked rest of year. Soon as it went dead cold last year same problem for a few weeks. This year absolutely nothing so far so it weird. But when I was stripping the car to try find out where the issue was 2 years ago I moved 2 of the square relays in the engine bay and the pbd worked for one go and died again, so not an input power problem to the motor as others have said all ideas point to the pbd electronics.

I pay for a service plan which works out cheaper than essential service based on what you get. 3 years of service which I pay £20 month 1 major 2 minor. 3 years ago when I started this Plan it needed spark plugs changing so if I’d kept the essential service this would have cost £600 on top for the spark plugs swapping out. Just had a major and they changed brake oil and air. Receipt said £288 inc but I’d prepaid

Power Tailgate Intermittent

Bitch when your right but like you there seems no rhyme or reason for what’s causing it, but mine hasn’t played up this winter yet. When it does I’ll check my battery as mine has been on its last legs for 18 months but keeps soldiering on. -
Power Tailgate Intermittent

Had this problem last 2 winters, just when it gets like this, you’ll find that the rear boot light is dead also, I swapped all the relays around, checked all the fuses just no 12v to micro switches in boot. Put techstream on car and it doesn’t show any faults. Soon as it warms up again outside it’s all sound again. I think it’s a dry joint that’s on the car so at these temperatures it contracts that much it breaks the circuit. If anybody sorts this out as I had my boot in bits for days trying to suss this out I’d be grateful. Only thing was when I swapped some relays the door worked again for a minute or 2 that’s why it’s a git to find the underlying cause. -
RX 450 towing electrics
granadaman replied to DaveRx450's topic in RX 300 / RX 350 / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h Club
I have Westphalia electrics with witter Bar from pf Jones, took half a day and yes you still have to cut into the loom to fit the cut outs for fog lights and couple more. -
Remember the barge pole, wouldn’t touch it with one. If it’s a dog it’s been abused and probably a repo. Black oil, mines always been medium brown between services near the end, do yourself a favour find a better one. Old motto buy cheap buy twice and with Lexus a lot of zeros on repair bills unless your handy

Cost me £220 front and back discs and pads, do not bleed them without a techstream, you can push the pistons back as normal. My pins were ok so get some red rubber grease for calliper pins and brake grease for sliders Took me 3 hours with a thorough clean. The discs I got were coated so even a 18 months on they look like new. Front discs and all pads were from euro carparts and rears from Andrew page. Rears discs are a pain to find unless you want overpriced Lexus ones I paid £83 for rear discs as a comparison to Lexus Birmingham £140
