Have searched on here and found a few threads discussing this question but from what I can find only tow bar based ones have been fitted with the mkII RX300 due to the spoiler. Has anyone been successful in attaching a rear mounted rack which doesn't require a tow bar? Someone in a previous thread mentioned a long discussion on the topic but I couldn't find it. If there is one and you can post a link, that would be great! Thanks for your help. Damian

Spark plugs are hugely expensive and labour associated with their fitting. 60k service for me which only additional itme over and above normal every 20k was spark plugs and cost was almost £500!

I imagine it's to do with the fact that for the last year or so they have hadlr been selling any petrol only versions, most have been hybrid is what I was previously told.

I don't get it. Petrol version not selling. Therefore this should [have?] be/been built around the hybrid system from the ground up. So if so why put that ugly slot under the main grill again similarly to what we have with today's RX400h? Surely working from the ground up the designers could do a better job of integrating the cooling inlets than this!

Ensure you are using the latest FW (firmware) for your phone. There's an application on Nokia.com which allows you to do this yourself. Some Nokia mobiles have acquired more up to date and therefore better support for this. More recent mobiles shoudl allow you to select all your contacts and then send them over BT to the car when it's in the receiving mode. Older ones may need you to do this one by one. br D

Thing is I believe is to ensure you are not pressing the odo button when turning to on. Leave it a second or so then press the button. After 10-20 seconds or put the seat belt in. If still doesn't work put the headlights to off rather than auto as this control is also used for a service based menu so may have some impact. Don't know if other who were succesful had the lights on auto or off. br D

Hi not convinced the mule is the next RX. I had heard there will be a baby RX and a direct replacement for the current RX. The mule images from a scale and proportion perspective look more like a baby RX in testing. The LF-A is good but wonder how close the interior will be to the next RX, suspect nothing like it, like most concept cars. The outside will hopefully at least borrow some strong styling cues. br D

Thanks for your help!

Thanks, sorry if I had confused rather than clarified what I'm trying to check. After the car is fully warmed up and you press the demist button what are you RX300 owners finding happens? Does the air con come on and the fan speed increase as well as direct to the fronts vents for demisting or does the fan speed stay more or less the same e.g. low . It's this last point I really wanted to clarify. thanks D

Can you help me out here please? Gremlins seem to be doing strange things. Now aircon seems to be behaving differently and now I can't remember what's right and what's wrong. Aircon 'seems' to be working but in this weather hard to prove how effectively. Could owners of the RX300 mk II please check what happens when the car is fully warmed up and you press the demist button on the left of the sat nav display? On mine when the car is cold I get air con indicator appear even if air con was off and maximum or almost maximum air directed to the demisting vents. The indicators for the direction of the air in the aircon touch display are all off as opposed to usually one being lit. Once the car is fully warmed up and you press the demist button I thought it still gave rapid demist using b0oth aircon on and high speed fan. Now I get aircon on but no fan speed increase. This latter point in particualr I would like to check if your climate control is working the same because I am finding the demoist doesn't seem to be as effective as I remember it before the garage had it for some work recently. Thanks D

Thanks for the reply, it was 8 degrees C. To add some additional info the de-mist function was not working either, which is how I noticed it. So rather than having a blast of air to clear the windows nothing happens. However, for some strange reason when the car is cold the power de-mist does work but once it's warm despite everything being misted up and the outside temperature being warm enough the air con doesn't seem to engage. br D

Hi, I have an unused one from a 2004 RX300. Let me know if it's of interest. br Damian

Hi, I own a 2004 RX300. The air con has stopped working. I've checked the fuses. Anyone experience a similar problem at any time? No error code/messages to indicate any prooblems. Noticed when trying to demist the windows. Pressing the demist button doesn't do anything. Air con compressor doesn't come on when air con selected. Thanks D

Myself I run an RX300 which has the capability of showing miles remaining based on average fuel consumption and what's left in the tank. Talking to a friend with an Rx400H today he said how frustrating it was not to have the same on the 400H. I can;t believe this would now have been copied across. Can someone confirm if this is the case on the 400H or not. If it is available perhaps you could explain where it is so I can pass it on? I would have presume it is in one of the INFO screens? thanks in advance D

I had exactly the same scenario after some body work attention a few years back. br D
