Good Afternoon, I have a 2012 advance gen3 and i am trying to pre empt things failing ont he car. the powerboot is something i have read is a common failure with the motor / pcb failing. I have been tempted to replace the gas struts in the boot with OEM parts, in my head this will take the pressure off the power mech and prolong its life. Any thoughts, it would be 200 euro to buy them and replace myself. thanks a million

With the price of fuel at the moment and seems its only going one way, is the rx petrol going to be a dinosaur model ? I have a 2012 and petrol is about 2 euro litre. I have started really focusing on driving style and last night managed to get over 40mpg. Will be keeping an eye on it going forward.

Tyre Recommendations
RonsonSJohnson replied to robpace's topic in RX 300 / RX 350 / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h Club
yes load rating, i know this is a heavy heavy car and i really dont want to under spec the load rating, also if lets say 105 us quoted which is 995 KGS what additional weight does the XL on a tyre add to that ? -

morning folks, jumping on here for a tyre related question, i hope the OP does not mind i order a tyre for the gen 3 RX and this is the rating etc. 235/55 R19 105W XL i am worried about the weight on each corner, the tyre i have ordered is rated at 925kgs. questions is have i messed up or are these good to use ? -
Morning Folks, When do you think a good age for an older Lexus to stop going to the dealer for standard services ? mine is a 2012 99k miles with a 90% service history (previous owner could not get to Lexus during the pandemic) I am due the scheduled 135kms service and its 400 euro... not much involved oil, filter, cabin filter, check over and hybrid check I think i will go to the major service with spark plugs and that will be that(800 euro). I understand its a premium car with a premium service price tag, but seems its the most expensive dealer service around. my 2016 6 series was 200 euro for a BMW service as an example.

Lexus oem accessories

Won't be modding the rx at all other than practical bits or something I can reverse myself. I just am disappointed by the availability of oem gear here in ireland / uk -

Thanks for that some interesting stuff -
Evening all, Moving to lexus from german brands I find the availability of good oem accessories for lexus is pretty poor. I like to go all in when I drive a brand, pretty sad I know but I found with vw and bmw it was so much easier to get small items new and second hand. Bags mugs , car storage , umbrellas etc I know lexus parts direct has a good selection but just one website? Anywhere else i can look And there is no way I will put my bmw umbrella in my RX 🙂

I am in the same suitation, I did a big service this year with lexus 400 euro and they said to wait till 120k miles service to do the plugs unless a miss fire develops. 120k should be the second time they are done following the service schedule. I will stick to what they say and putting some pennies away every month to get the 800 ready for the big one.
