Well it's coming up as a fault on diagnostics and my hybrid system is still in some sort of weird mode where none of the power flow animations are doing anything. I am getting drive from the electric motor though. Also my economy is really low and I'm hoping this might be resolved once I add the temp sensor - I started getting hybrid problems the second I drove away from the MOT place which threw away the sensor so it seems like the logical best thing to try. I still have not sourced the battery / sensor...

Does anyone know the par number for the temp sensor?

Hi, When I recently bought my 2006 gs450h jap import the 12v battery was dead so they asked the garage who carried out the complimentary fresh MOT to replace it. however it turns out the replacement battery does not have a temp sensor. I’d like to replace the battery with the correct one but can’t find one anywhere. Lexus want £260 so I’m trying to find one for less, however I can’t find one at all even at that price! i think I need a S65D26L, can anyone point me in the right direction, or tell me what they have in theirs? Much thanks in advance for any leads...

Good point... I had a look when it was up on ramps during MOT and it was literally immacualte.

Thanks guys.... Bobmc, that's really helpful to know, best steer clear of a GS300 unit then. Yeah I'd come to the same conclusion about unclipping the trim and re-using. Would like to keep the japanese buttons anyway. Only issue then is that I want to swap the minidisc/cd/radio too but the trim isn't the same, will just have to be patient I suppose...

Hi, I have just acquired an immaculate 2006 GS450H with 59k miles on the clock. I’ve done a lot of research and it seems there is no way to simply navigate to language settings and change from Japanese to English. Also the Japanese FM band only goes up to 90khz which doesn’t cover the stations I would like to listen to. this leads to two questions: 1. If I install a satnav/screen and cd/radio from a UK car with this resolve these issues? 2. Is the part number the same for the GS450H and GS300? I have a light grey dash and can only find matching units from a GS300 so just trying to establish whether this will be capable of displaying the hybrid system animations and economy readout etc. Thanks is advance for any advice, I have a bunch of other questions that I’ll post on their own threads. cheers,
