Hi Paul Just an update on my boot, I took the car to Lexus to diagnose the problem and they said I need a new motor, cost £1,665.41. Having read here that some peoples boots just started working again I was delaying doing anything, just in case. Anyway after about 5 months of the boot not working I was just going to research getting a new motor from Dubai and thought I would try the boot one more time and it opened!!! How can it be diagnosed that it needs a new motor when it clearly doesn't. £1,665.41 is a lot of money that someone could pay out which wasn't necessary. I have tried the boot about 5 times now and it is still working.

Hi TheoRX Yes thanks, I tried that and it's on but there has been some damp in the car on the passenger side so not sure if this has affected the electrics there. According to the manual it seems the fuse for the boot also operates other things which are still working, other people have said damp has affected their boot operation and they've tried hair dryers and some people have said their boots have just started working again. I might try the hair dryer next. I think the damp was caused by leaving the air on recirculate, I've turned that off and it's not so damp inside now.

Hi TheoRX many thanks that sounds like a very good idea I will see if I can find a mechanic and I'll get the fuses checked out

Hi my local garage said I need a new top mount suspension and I have an Rx450h with air suspension. He called Lexus and they quoted £800 just for the part as you have to buy the whole unit with the airbag and Lexus have to fit it, I don't have a quote for the fitting. My power trunk has also stopped working so I'm trying to find solutions for both these problems without laying out a fortune. Any ideas would be very welcome.

Hi I am having the same problem with my boot and have tried all the obvious solutions and nothing works. @herbie if you could send me your information I would be very grateful, thank you
