    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Lee but Britprius (John Bloor) passed away earlier this year. There's a topic about it but I can't remember what it's called now.

    As far as I'm aware none of the 4RX variants have air suspension at all.

    I've got one of these Viofo A129 Dual Camera sets (links to Amazon page illustrated below) and they're superb. Easy to fit DIY (or if you don't want to DIY then any auto-electrician will fit), very small and unobtrusive, with great, clear recordings both day and night. Each camera manufacturer will recommend their own microSD cards but these Samsung Pro Endurance cards are amongst the best out there, if not the best and have an excellent reputation.

    Ah right. What my favourite band, Led Zeppelin, would call a 'Communication Breakdown'

    Not quite sure how or why you expect them to contact you when you haven't even got the car yet. They could have had a few people like you who never went back to them because the new car purchase fell through or was delayed. You've asked for a price and they gave you one, now it's up to you to go back to them when you have the car and can make a definitive booking to get it done.

    Just clutching at straws with a completely wild guess here but... I know that the screen has multiple uses and is not just associated with the radio but I love music and always have the radio (or other media) playing music whenever I'm in the car, so much so that I literally never turn off the sound system/radio at all. I'm just wondering if you, Rayann, may be the same and if it could be some sort of 'inrush current' or voltage spike issue and that the radio/sound should be turned off before replacing the battery?

    Wow, are you sure? It would be extremely unusual for a hybrid battery to give up the ghost after just two years. I could see it happening to the 12V battery but not the hybrid battery; they usually last 10 years or more. If it really is the high voltage hybrid battery then I would imagine all settings will be lost. With the 12V battery they can use a 'battery saver' to keep the settings in memory.

    I discovered why the link didn't work for me - my adblocker stopped three different ad sites from loading and obviously stopped the page from loading too. Anyway, I made adjustments and found this:

    I would say that's the most likely explanation.

    My 2013 RX450h Advance and my 2018 RX450h Luxury will not allow the tailgate to open without unlocking all doors at the same time. I can stand with my finger on the 'tailgate open' button for hours but nothing happens until I press the 'unlock' button, at which point all locks operate and I can then press the 'tailgate open' button and it does.

    Hi Shahid - that link doesn't work and just brings me right back to this page, but I've PM'd you with something that may help you.

    That link isn't working but there's no need to spend a lot of money. Someone in the RX forum got a cheap Chinese camera for about a tenner and did a full write-up about changing it and it worked a treat. This is just one of many available on Amazon but prices seem to have gone up a bit (unsurprisingly).

    33 years ago DAB hadn't even been invented but yes, the same principle applies. My 2018 RX has an integrated DAB aerial but some don't. I have no idea why.
  14. Herbie
    I would be extremely surprised if there was anything 'Lexus-specific' about a DAB windscreen aerial so just have a look at some of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+fit+dab+aerial+to+car

    If it's only dripping when the tailgate is open it's probably just water lurking in the seal nooks and crannies rather than an actual leak. I suppose the best way to see what's going on is to have someone in the back with a torch while you (or someone else) blasts the tailgate from outside with a pressure washer.

    You may just have been lucky, I don't know, but the info I quoted above was Lexus' own advice.

    Link to just one seller on eBay but there are plenty of others if this one doesn't tickle your fancy.
  18. Herbie
    No, sadly not. You would need Android Auto or Apple Carplay for that and only cars from 2020 onwards can have that unless you go for a third-party device like a Grom V-line or like the one I fitted in my 2018 RX (details in the topic below). You can, of course, use Waze on the phone but not on the main screen without the above.

    There's your problem Steve - you're looking in the wrong place because those shelves are open with no end caps. If you put any gas on one of those shelves it would just run off the end and you'd need a big bucket to catch it, and the same with electricity too. There's a big Health & Safety issue here though. You'd have to cap off the gas shelf at one end and the tizzy shelf at the other because it would be highly dangerous to collect both the gas and the Volts in the same bucket due to the risk of explosion!

    Never seen or had the problem but yes, the system works in such a way that you set the CC speed and it keeps that speed whether going up or down or on the flat. That's how every CC system I've ever had works. Even the radar CC will slow down if the car in front slows down and then speed up again when it speeds up. You need to go back to the dealer and have it out with them.

    I don't see why not. There's nothing 'Lexus-specific' about a radio aerial. As long as it physically fits in the hole and has a coax lead, Robert is your mother's brother.

    Rear valance? Rear underrun?

    @VFR Brian, since we swapped our Gen3 RX for a Gen4 I'd forgotten all about this. You may find it useful, you may not, but I just thought I'd put it out there anyway as it may help someone:

    The 12V battery is in the boot under the floor, next to the spare wheel.
