Hi. I want to find a Car Cover for my SC430. it has to have a soft lining inside and keep the weather out without scratching the paint and easy to fit. Has anyone got a recommendation for a good one and where to find such a thing? Thank you.

Hi Guys. I am hoping I can sort this problem myself. Recently when the steering wheel retracts or moves forward after putting the key in or out of ignition. I am getting a squeaking sound When it moves in or out. Like it needs lubricating? If I put a downward or upward force on the steering wheel it as it moving the noise stops and stays that way for rest of the day but it does return. Has anyone had the same issue in the past and how was it sorted please. Many Thanks Guys

Hi Do you mean this 5 star centres. These are hgeld on my 5 nuts and the ends have built in clips that go in a hole in the wheel. I have just purchase 4 new ones. and fitted them to new wheels

Hi Guys. I need to cover my SC430 when it's not being used. As I have no garage I was thinking of an all weather portable cover for it. Does anyone have a recommendation of a good one with soft lining to prevent scratching the car I should look at ? Thanks very much

Hi. I had similar problem with my passenger side mirror. I was told to spray workings behind the mirror with WD40. I did this and it worked and still is working. (I left mine to soak for a day before trying )

DocT many many Thanks.Thats very clear.

Hi DocT Thanks for your reply and help. When you say the trim tape/Dental Floss, is that holding the liner? and beneath this are the bolts that hold the Spoiler. ? Thanks Alan

Hi Guys. I have to remove my rear boot spoiler to my SC430 as the boot has to be resprayed. Does anyone know if the spoiler is bolted or bonded (sticky taped) to the boot lid please. Many Thanks

Hi Guys. Does any one have the knowledge of how to remove the Chrome effect trim to the Lower section of the radiator grill. I have easily removed the slotted grill section but cant see an easy way to remove the Chrome surround. Thank you in advance.

Just very curious about what the reason is behind the colours codes for each of the 4 TPMS sensors. If you are buying 4 of them they would be Gold, Red, White and Blue. Or the same individual colour to replace same colour in the vehicle. I am buying all 4 colours as it happens but I am very very curious as to why this is so? Thanks

Hi Everyone. I am new to owning an 2005 SC430 and immediately joined here for knowledge and news etc. My question is about TPMS. The standard wheel on my car is the 5 Dark Chrome star insert on the 5 spoke wheel. I want to buy a new set of these and sensors but I am finding info on the Lexus Sensors hard to understand, ie why are they colour coded and could you actually use re-programmable AUTEL MX sensors instead (far cheaper). Any and all advice is super welcome.Thanks

Hi Bob. Thanks for your reply. It looks like yours are more chrome coloured than mine and lighter shade too. Mine are almost anthracite with a chrome face. I think mine perhaps have been sprayed before as I have seen your colour on web site a lot. I am am a bit confused now.

I am hoping some knowledgeable members has done this to their SC wheels. I want to get my 5 star wheel centres 100% condition by getting them resprayed. But I am struggling to find the correct colour for them. Its a sort of dark chrome colour. I don't want " a near enough colour" I really want the Lexus colour. No Dealers were prepared to help me. I think they want to sell me brand new ones. Thanks a lot guys

Hi Everyone. I need to buy new Screen washer nozzles for my SC430. My Lexus main dealer seems to be having trouble sourcing them from LEXUS, Maybe its because they come in Body colour, so in my case thats Millennium Silver. Any ideas where else i can try ? Thanks
