Altezza fault code P0500
I am having a T reg automatic Altezza and has this problem: the engine board light turns on and the ECT starts flashing. The engine loses power and it revs without pushing the acceleration pedal. The diagnostic device shows a P0500 fault code. The garage says is speed sensors and/or faulty wiring. They changed the sensors, but problem not getting away. For wiring need the wiring diagrams and I only found them in Russian language. Does anyone has them in English, or can give some advice about thi
Info screen on my RX 450h series 3
When my headlights are on either by selecting auto or manual “on” the screen brightness will often suddenly dim to about half what it is normally (enough that it catches your eye) This is the info screen in the center of the dash (and in my case) tells me the state of charge etc as I always leave it on that view as it suits me. Also The blue downlight / background light that shows either side of the speedo dials etc will often go off & on but this has been going on for at leas
My new RX is here
Well my new RX450h+ Takumi has been picked up and is now sat on my driveway looking splendid (I think) in Sonic Copper. Too many bongs on the drive back, but at least you can set the "You've exceeded the speed limit" one to add 4 mph. The can't see driver one is annoying, but I'm hoping a bit of playing will make that less of a nuisance...
Seat cooling fan
Just as an FYI, the driver's seat cooling fan on my 2018 LC500H stopped working. Bought the car last December from Lexus Hedge End, noticed only recently, but checked at dealer and new fan fitted without any fuss today.

The problem is, I can't find any aftermarket parts... I attached below the diagram of the steering rack, maybe someone knows more, and also if there are any other models that share the same steering rack ! Thanks
RCF Notchy steering
Hi, Has anybody had there steering rack replaced due to notchy steering ? I have a minor issue where the steering feels like its got stuck when driven at motorway speeds in the straight ahead position for a while, it usually shows up after about an hour. It feels like you have to apply more force to the wheel when changing lanes and sometimes after long sweeping bends you have to apply more force and then it over corrects, almost like being stuck in a rut. The steering is fine at all o
