do you think it could be Battery related

[mr2lad]

Cruisermark..... Possible.. As just leading up to all warning messages my Battery was slightly under powered, not enough to start car but all accessories working fine, hooked up 12v power pack car started straight away then bing bing as all warnings popped up

Prior to this I had ran car the day before with no probs, parked her up then 16hrs later went to move her n as above Battery not enough juice to start her

took car for a wee drive along straight country roads but messages didn't clear (abs n vsc) usually pop up if a Battery has been taken off and clear once driven... But not in this case

Will wait n see what lexus Edinburgh say and will keep you's all updated

Graham,

For what it's worth, I had almost the same symptoms on my 460 last November. My local version of the AA (ASWB) came to have a look and diagnosed a failed cell in my Battery. We managed to get the car started and I drove, carefully, the 20 miles to my nearest Lexus dealer.

Thirty minutes and a new Battery later all was well. I have had no problems since.

I do understand how wary you are being, with the nearest dealer so far away. Reading the US forum, there is a possibility that it is the brake actuator........ I really hope it is something simple.

And if the back were a little longer, you could use it to get the Lexus to the garage.
