Is it me? I can't find any MOT type details about this car - doubting my sanity. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-LEXUS-RX300-LOW-MILES-ONLY-65K-PX-WELCOME-/232020592581?hash=item36058147c5:g:qkcAAOSwdzVXj7Nm

When my Satnav (etc) display dims, when the light conditions outside change... ... the Air Re-Circ and Heated Rear Windows Green light switches dim too, if they're on. How clever.

On Saturday morning my wife volunteers for various good works - drives in HER RX. Two hours later, after giving her time to a needy older citizen she returns to her car. Back bumper on road, wires hanging off, scrape down the side. Someone said they saw a skip lorry edging past. Did the culprit leave any details? I think you can guess the answer... So... an insurance job it is. Lessons learnt: Keep all your insurance claim contact numbers, and a charged phone in your car, where they are easy to find. ( Had to go and rescue Mrs .C )

UK 2016 RX450H F-sport
RozzaLex posted a topic in RX 300 / RX 350 / RX 400h / RX 200t / RX 450h Club
Hello All New owner ... I have attached some pics because I understand that is what new members do. Sorry about the quality but taken on an iPhone with the rose-tinted filter switched-off! Happy to answer any queries on any aspect of the car; most reviews seem to be very US-model centric and the UK models do deviate from the US-spec in quite a few areas so can give a UK owner perspective on the good, bad and indifferent bits of the car So it's an F-Sport, mica white, black leather, panoramic roof, HUD, Mark-Levinson sound, protection pack; I don't think there any other bits that could be added other than bits of trim cheers -
Hello, My RX300 has air suspension. It also has a Lexus Warranty. And I love it. But… Over the last few days, I’ve noticed it needs to pump-up at the back, when it’s been standing all day or overnight. And it looks lower to. More so than usual. I can also hear the pump cutting in occasionally when I am driving. I guess I’ll need to get it looked at, but I am still curious as to what others might think is the issue. ( I appreciate that remote-by-web diagnostics are not always the way to go, but I always appreciate the views of others!) PCM

Does anyone have any thoughts please...? As of yesterday, when my wife ( or I ) opens HER RX 350 door, or closes it - it gives a short beep. It's only just started doing this... Odd.

Just picked up a replacement for my RX400h. A brand new NX300h. I noticed when I got home that only one reverse light was working. Called dealer. They said it was... a feature. ARE YOU FRICKIN' kidding me Lexus!!!! :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk: I hate this to be my first post but why is Lexus going backwards??? My RX400h had two reverse lights and (I think) two fog lights. This seems to have only one of each. When I see a car with only one reverse light I always think its broken. I always thought it was a legal requirement too...like having two brake lights. Cars have had two reverse lights since the 1960's.. Why oh why the retrograde step? I just don't get it? Feeling let down and angry...sob...

Hi all, With all the various tinkering I've been doing with my Lex, does anyone know of or can recommend a box of of various common sized bolts/nuts for the RX? If the weather holds this weekend, I want to replace my transmission cooler tube assembly but due to previous crap mechanics and corrosion, most of the bolts that hold the plastic under tray onto the car are either missing or in a really bad way. Unhelpfully, Toyota in their wisdom decided to use various sizes of bolts for the under tray and it is proving painful looking each one up in the parts schematics, cross referencing the bolt part number with the electronic parts catalogue, then creating a list to either find each individual bolt online or buy from Toyota parts counter as they only sell them singly and aren't cheap for this sort of thing! Mechanics must be able to buy big kits full of fittings, so what can anyone recommend? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone. I'm on the lookout for a 400h SE-L or Executive. Full service history and evidence of annual hybrid battery checks are a must. Dark colours preferred but not concerned about interior colour. Underseal would be a bonus. Please let me know if you are thinking about parting with your pride and joy!

I noticed today that my RX is slightly higher on one side at the front, by about 2cm. It's on a fairly fiat gravel drive. Is this normal? If not should my Lexus warranty cover it? Any thoughts most welcome...

Hi all, I've been investigating alternatives to purchasing air shocks/struts/bags individually from Lexus at between £700-800 each! Now I've found many suppliers of components but no-one that makes an aftermarket unit or it's constituent components specifically for the RX. Ideally, I'd like to get a failed sacrificial unit to strip down, measure the air bag and shock damper to see if I can contact good suppliers directly (Dunlop, Bridgestone, KYB etc.) and hopefully make a DIY refurb guide. Unfortunately I'm not made of money but would be willing to buy a failed rear unit if anyone has one in their garage? From what I can ascertain, the front units are different air bag "types" to the so there would have to be 2 guides. On a positive note, many people state the system is scary and complicated - before my research started I would have been inclined to agree but the more I learn, the more I see how simple the setups are! The big problems are lack of decent RX information and suppliers. Full aftermarket air strut kits (ie: 2 x Front, 2 x Rear units) for the RX are available at £1200 BUT before leaping into the unknown, I'd like to see if a refurb of the Lexus/Toyota parts are possible to keep things as stock as is possible. If anyone can provide further info, ie: front and rear air bag dimensions, types and if at all possible the original manufacturer (as Toyota/Lexus don't make air bags!) then that would be really useful. Thanks all, Chris

Hi everyone. I'm looking for a well maintained and highly specced RX300. I'd be especially interested in a car that has had an LPG conversion. Anywhere within about 100 miles of Cheltenham would be fine.

Hi all, A friend with a 1996 Range Rover that also has factory fit air suspension stopped by for Easter lunch last weekend. I noticed when they left (he had his missus and his two lads) and he started the Range up, the air suspension was really fast raising the car by an inch at least at all 4 corners within less than 3 seconds. My RX in comparison would be compressing away for a good 10 seconds-ish to level the car after a 3 hour or so stop... If I leave it standing all weekend and go to drive it 2/3 days later, the compressor runs for a good 30-40 seconds. Is this normal? What do other RX's do? Mine seems to subtly raise the car without the occupants realising (other than compressor noise) the Range was so fast it was almost violent (lol) and the occupants would definitely "feel" it raise up. Thanks, Chris.

Hi all, Just wanted to share the following two links that have proven to be really useful: Toyodiy site that lists part numbers for our RX components: http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/g_E_2003_LEXUS_RX300%7E330%7E350_MCU35R-AWAGKW_2.html Use the above site to find a part number you are interested in, then paste the part number (5 digits a "-" and more digits) into the search box here: http://toyotapartscatalog.com/lexus/ You'll be able to find exploded diagrams and related part numbers etc. Sorry if you already knew of the above but sharing for those who don't! Chris.

Hello, I have had my RX 400h for 18 months. It's a fantastic car. But in last few days a squeak can be heard when I slightly press down the brake pedal and I wondered if anyone can throw any light on it. It started shortly after I pulled away from an island and felt either the antilocks or the four wheel drive come on. Thanks Jason
