I have a 2011 on air suspension and no problems so far and it has almoust 140k miles. If the s**t hits the fan and its to expensive to repair i will just put coilovers and ditch the air struts. 

I knew from the start about the price of the air suspension but its reliable so i just went for it

On the rx450h its a diferwnt screen from LHD to RHD, its got a curve under the plastic that you cant see.

You will need to check for errors, easy and cheap to do that. Buy a  mini vci cable 

From 28mpg on colder days to 32mpg on town or motorway i have the same consumption

I have to find a way to stick back mine after changing the windscreen, pain in the... to install it like that but hey ho at least we have DAB 🤣

Non dealer garage, you can easy do it by your own as you explained, no point to go to lexus for easy bits to do

Changed on my 2011 last year, toyota oem oil and labour was 170£. 

I can't understand why everyone run away from the air suspension, its not worse thand normal dampers and if **** hits the fan then you can instal normal dampers

I have one but its not on the market at the moment. It's got a crack in the windscreen and would want to change it before put it on sale.

Its a 2011 seL with just under 140k miles

Front 470mm 

Back 465mm

Mesured from centre of wheel to wheel arch

If you are thinking of selling, I'm on the look out for one. Do let me know as I'd much prefer to buy one from a club member than go down the dealer sales route. 

I will send you the link as soon as i put it on sale, it's a 2011 SE-L

I'm thinking to sell mine 😅 

I pay around 1000£ with 5 years ncb and i'm 34... i would love to pay 300£ but maybe when i get to 60 LoL

My brother in law instaled 2 years ago a non oem Battery, bosch s4 I think. No problems at all. I will do the same when my old Battery will die

I think you have a problem, on my 2011 the compresor starts when i change the ride hight or in the morning once a month maybe if i dont use the car for a few days. 

You can fit 2 child seats and a booster in the middle seat

It happened to me twice, spider and a small fly

Price for roof rails and where about?

Thanks

A good ideea to change them, i left UK 3 weeks ago and in Austia i had just 1 parking light working on the back... from 4 existing

Thanks Barry14UK, i checked again today and i notice that on a flat road acceleration is fine but as soon as you go uphill things change and i think its to do with the Atkinson cycle engine and weight.

Will check my brother in law car tomorrow and update 

Thanks

Thanks for the help

Barry14UK i scaned for the fault cods using a Teachstream and its all clear. 

I will need to take to a test drive my brothers in law RX and see if it is the same.

Lager shandy the Battery was charged and yes the nx is lighter but you have extra power and 2 more cylinders on the rx

Herbie this is my first Lexus but i have it for allmost 1 year and i am a motor/motorcycle guy.

What i want to see if the rest of rx's feels the same, if on motorway i give it full gas its like a slipping cluch but if you use 3/4 of acceleration you can feel the power been used better. 

Maybe it's just me and i was expecting to get the same feeling from low speed and at the moment i think its not safe to overtake. 

I love the car under 60/70 mph

I don't know what you are comparing with but as you go faster the aerodynamics play an increasing part so you need disproportionately increasing bhp to achieve every additional mph.  Put another way the car is going to take longer as it moves towards it's maximum speed, appearing to be short of BHP to overcome resistance.  Of course it's not just a matter of power but also of appropriate gearing.  A graph showing time taken to achieve various speeds on the flat would be interesting if available.

Thanks for the replay, well i compare it woth various cars i had in the past and the last one was a skoda superb.

Today on motorway a nx300h was accelerating faster and i was flat out 😅 

Sorry for my spelling mistakes

Hi guys, i have a rx450h from 2011 and i notice at speeds over 70mph the power os not there, i can see the engine reving but the pullimg power is not there, it feels like a car with less then 100bhp. 

At low speed you can feel the 295bhp... is that usual ? 

Thanks

Radu

Milage on my rx450h from 2011 is 122k but in my opinion is that the overal condition and history its more important than the milage

I have the air suspension and yes it can be expesive to fix but its not known to have issues. The mpg is usualy around 32 and the only problem i had was a sized calipper but was fixed with rebuilding it.
