Mr Vlad

Hi Rayaans. Just looked on the tube and it seems easy to change the battery. Yes I know they change them on Full services but I think the last full service was done either a year or so ago or God knows. Watching a couple of tube vids I'd say my battery was running low coz it's come to me that I've noticed 'key not present ' come up a few times. I'll start using the spare key for now but both will get new batteries this week.

That's something I thought about since the car is 5 years old and no idea how old fob batteries are. I didn't know they're rechargeable. How do I do that or just put a new battery in?

I had a strange happening with my car yesterday and today. I could get into my car no problem but when I tried to start it it didn't want to know until 3rd or 4th attempt. I even had to get my seat into position myself. Today tho I found my keyfob quite hot to the touch which kind of freaked me out a bit. I thought about it and concluded that my car keyfob doesn't like the keyfob I have for my wife's place. So I kept both fobs in separate pockets and hey ho back to normal. So something new learnt today and hopefully help to others is to keep the car keyfob separate to other keyfobs such as building entry systems. I was going to take some photos of my car today when at Squires Gate cafe near Leeds but it got too packed. But next time I'm out in it I'll take and post some pics.

Thanks guys. Something I forgot to add. My car is a 62 plate but registered Feb 13. I was pleasantly suprised that text messages and emails came thru. Also track listings follow as they change. They didn't do that in my premier premium 64 plate IS's. Weird technology eh? Post photos Rayaans? Mines a Celestial Black F Sport. Do I really need to post photos? Mind you I do have rear privacy glass so maybe I will. 😊

Today whlist travel the M62 to leeds as I do fortnightly my car put one helluva smile on my face. I floored it from a steady 70 and by feck it shot forward. I've learned that the RX doesn't handle as well as my previous IS but that's to be expected. Thanks to Rayaans and Rich I've finally got my car registration on the My Lexus app. V5 came yesterday. The service record shows that my car had a Lexus service are 3k miles in 2013 then it''s next Lexus service was Four Years later at some 34k. So I suppose that begs the question about the cars service history. Personally I'm not bothered. Why? Because of how my car looks and drives and it was given a Lexus going over a few months ago and its Hybrid Health Check done the week before I picked it up. I dipped the oil and was pleasantly suprised how clean the oil was. I've put a bottle of ZX1 in the oil which I've done to my last 15 or more cars. So my smiles have come to how my car accelerates from speed. And the Service side I put in just to say that it's not so important that a car has a full dealer service bur a part one is important. Because I walk to work my mileage yearly will only be 3k miles. I will have it serviced at Lexus but they'll be intermediate ones only unless the 40 50 60 etc K mile service time arrives then the full service will take place. Sorry if I've bored you but I wanted to air my views experiences etc.

No probs Robin. Happy to help no go enjoy your car.

If you can hear a clicking get then gears are slipping. I don't know about having to have mirrors coded to the car. As lexus.

Many thanks Rayaans and Rich. I'll hang fire till I get my V5 which should be very soon.

The app I download was the my lexus Europe. I Registered my car and email and validated my email from their email I got. I can get on it but all I get is reminders for services mot''s insurance etc etc but nothing else. What's the online lexus portal? Where do I find that? Pardon my thickness on this type of stuff.

Thanks Rayaans but what portal? What info is on the V5 that's needed?

OK Rich. Do I have to wait for the V5 to turn up before I can see what dealer visits my car has had? I've registered my car on the app.

Think I'll have to get that app. My car has had only 3 services according to the service book. 1st at 5.5k miles then nothing till 34.2k miles 3 1/2 years later. Did that put me off buying my car? Like billiow. My car runs sweet.

Hi. Is there any whiring sound from the motor when you try to operate it? Are there any plasticy grinding noises or any other kind? If not then it's new mirror motor time.

Excellently put Erik. The car I was waiting to pick up was the RX450h and I had a play with the hL in the showroom. My wife didn' reckon on it and even the sales guy agreed about the rear 2 seats. Funnily I was considering the Galaxy but didn't like the boot area. Just looked Un finished. Hope you're enjoying your car as much as I am mine.

Thanks Rayaans. One wonders if by some electronic wizardry a rev counter can be put in the 3rd generation RX.

I wouldn't bother with blind spot gizmos. Iv'e had 4 cars with it and it's rubbish. The mirrors are more than good enough and having good wide angle vision helps too.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Whilst I was picking up my car last week I looked at the 7 seater in the showroom. To be honest I thought it not very good due to the entry for the rear 2 seats. Maybe I mucked up moving the 3 seat. Anyway enjoy your car. Mines a F Sport which replaced a newer IS300h premier but it has everything it had less BLIS and rev counter.

OK Josh. I see what you want to do. I think you'd rather have your car satnav display show what you want it to show and not have to use your phone or external satnav. I don't blame you for that, I'd be the same. As for your query I can't help but I wish you well in your quest to upgrade your satnav system.

There's no problem what so ever Robin. The problem only occurs when tyres are different on the same axle. In 30 + cars I've had only 2 had all 4 tyres the same. Always matching tyres on the same axle.

Oh! Does the 4th generation RX have a rev counter?

My RX450h will cruise at 40mph on batteries alone for a few miles. As for economy. I can't see the point in buying a RX450h and being concerned about its mpg. I got mine coz it looks good. Has the ML and seats my family excellently. Fuel economy doesn't come into it. Ok I only use it at weekends but so what.

Don't blame you. Premier looks naff compared to F Sport.

What is it you're actually after doing? What is it you want to introduce and why?

That's weird. I've just got to this post and farted. What a coincidence.

As above. A great job done there. It'll help others in the future.
