I thought all Lexus cars came with it but sadly I’m wrong. Yes it means it can be stolen with a relat attack but it looks like the can attack is becoming more popular !! And yes I could use the phone but that’s slow. I just find it strange I can remote control the ac, hazards and lock/unlock the doors with a phone but not keyless. She who must be obeyed will just have to get used to it lol.

Hi all, We picked up a brand new F Sport Design today for my wife and we’re very surprised to find out there is no keyless entry ! This is our fourth Lexus over 10 years and got used to just grabbing the door handle to open the door. She’s not happy having to dig out the remote control from her handbag to open the car. I suppose we should have checked but we just assumed it would have it, after all we can open it with our phone. 😢

yeah, im turning right from a 40 mph main road into a side street

There are two that I cant avoid and trigger the ABS, one is on a flat T junction and the other is entering a roundabout on a slight downhill slope. Kev

Hi all I picked up a brand new ES F sport a few month ago and noticed something funny with it and was wondering if anyone else is seeing the same thing. If I hit a pothole (pretty hard not too now a days!) whilst braking the ABS kicks in ! The potholes are not huge and I’m not braking hard and it’s happening quite a lot. It didn’t happen with my old mk3 GS or my wife’s CT so wanted to check before heading to the dealer. Thanks Kev

Glad to hear it’s fitted and you like it, my ones only just over a month old and I’ve got enough footage of cars pulling out on me to start a YouTube channel lol 😂

PeteTP - FYI , the Nextbase Cam from Lexus also has the park mode and my one was wired to a permanent live as standard. However I had to activate the park mode using the app on my phone as it was turned off, you can also set the sensitivity of the bump detector as well. Kev

As promised here are the photos. The installation is really neat with no visible cables. The cams are actually a Nextbase 380GWX set as you can see from the box so you might get it cheaper outside of lexus. The rear cam is in the passenger corner and you cant see it from outside due to the tinted rear window. The front one is to the left of the mirror and you dont really notice it. It has build it WiFi that connects to an app on your phone to see the live video and all the recording. Hope this helps. Thanks Kev

Sure £390 supplied and fitted for both front and rear. This is Lexus Edinburgh https://www.easternwestern.co.uk/lexus/accessories/dash-cam.php Ive seen other dealers offering them for £350 for the pair or £250 for just the front. Thanks Kev

I hope it is 😉 I’m picking up a brand new ES F Sport tomorrow and asked them to fit the lexus front and rear cams. I can upload pictures tomorrow if you want. Kev

I had the TMPS replaced with a clone (they copy the serial number of the old sensor into the new one so you dont need techstream to reprogram the car) by a local tyre fitting company and they charged £60 supplied and fitted. Really simple job to do apart from my old one was stuck solid so they cut it out.

The same happen to my GS300 several years ago and I just had a stainless Y pipe welded on, cost me around £140 and lasted a few years before the rest of the exhaust gave up. Replaced with back boxes from Germany and center pipe/cats from Poland. Kev

Im lucky that my one is slightly newer so is OK with E10 (I confirmed with Lexus)

Ive had my 2008 GS300 for eight years so I can tell you a few things to check. Firstly as already mentioned by everyone else its not a CVT. Check to see if the exhaust is still the original as at the age of car you are looking for its going to need replaced soon and they are hard to find! Options are going to Lexus and paying thousands ! finding a cheaper one from Germany / Poland or going for a full custom stainless . All options are not exactly cheap. Check the struts and they tend to leak when they are a little older. Ive also had to replace the air con compressor and the water pump (luckily all under warranty) My ones done 120K Miles and ive just had to change 1 TPMS as it was leaking. Apart from that its been 8 years of pretty much nothing going wrong. The engine has always used more oil than I would expect but Lexus told me this was normal for this engine. Hope this helps. Kev

Apologies for the late update, I had to transfer techstream onto another laptop and that wasnt as easy as it should have been lol. So after blowing the tyres up the light went out and has stayed out, however there is a considerable difference in the pressures detected by the sensors and what my compressor says (no surprise). However , it doesnt matter any more 😲 as I pick up a brand new ES F Sport next week 😊 . Ive owned the GS for 8 years so it was time for a change. Thanks for all the help. Kevin
