What rating is the fuse that blows? Typically the main heater fuse (something like 50 Amps) is switched via a relay and connected to the cabin blower motor - I'd check/disconnect the blower assembly as the first place to troubleshoot.

don't work in what way? No display, or just no sound - is the aerial plugged in?

I believe you should use the Blue wire (pin 1) which is switched 12v and Violet (pin 2) which is ground. The blue wire is connected back to a 10 A fuse labelled IG1 No. 3 - you have probably blown this which is located within the cabin fusebox. you won't have the permanent 12 v feed on pin 6 (pink wire) as that is only fitted to vehicles with a garage door opener (US vehicles).

If the large 150 A, or 60 A fuses are blown then many things will not work.

Many dealers use Shell or Castrol oils but that is a franchise thing rather than a recommendation from Lexus GB. Mobil is a good brand, can't go wrong there. Many of Toyota's badged oils are made by them, although to Toyota's spec and not standard - e.g. Toyota 0W-20 is different (better) compared to Mobil 1 0W-20.

Just put her on the roof, there are rails to hold on to 😉

Not 100% for the NX but it is likely the headunit is Pioneer for both the ML and non-ML system. For UK models they are all Pioneer systems.

you need to be careful with 7zap because even if you select your specific model it will show parts for other variants. If you put 11213-46030 into toyodiy.com and click on IS200/300 you will see it is for the 2JZ-GE engine (IS300) and not the IS200 (1G-FE). 11213-70040 is correct for the IS200. The part number format; the first part identifies the type of part (e.g. 11213 is a cylinder head cover gasket) and the second part identifies the specific part. If a part is superseded the second number typically increments a small number. The fact that 70040 and 46030 are so far apart is a warning that they are for completely different engines.

look at this thread, it seems some can and other cannot.

Unfortunately toyodiy were forced to removed their diagrams several years ago because it was unauthorised use of copyrighted material. You can access the Electronic Parts Catalog, repair manual, and wiring diagrams from Lexus but it will cost you around £3 per hour: https://www.lexus-tech.eu Alternatively you can see the parts catalog and basic diagrams at a few online sites (until they get taken down), one of the best being 7zap: https://lexus.7zap.com/en/eu/

Very sorry to see this, I hope you are okay? I'd take the money from the insurance and look to purchase another one. Don't accept their first offer if it doesn't seem realistic. I certainly wouldn't purchase an IS250 and swap the engine/transmission. That is a non-trivial thing to do and the IS-F is certainly more than just a big engine with the brakes and suspension also upgraded.

There are two 15 Amp fuses, one for each dipped beam.

Yes, seemed to be a faulty batch of parts. No design change. Your issue does sounds similar, mine was normally on the motorway in a straight ahead direction and needed force to turn either left or right to go around a bend or change lane. Let's hope it is just wheel alignment in your case.

Hi Job I just clicked on the link in my post and the PDF downloaded fine. Here is the link again: https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=11855 Unfortunately I doubt this is the same issue you are experiencing as the TSB was for the first batch of vehicles produced and was fixed for all vehicles produced after August 2013.

Don't get too hung up on the noise rating of tyres. It is based on a smooth road surface that you don't find in this country and is measured by the sound heard at the roadside 1m away - tyre manufactures can actually design their tyres to do well in this test by directing the sound away from the kerb and into the cabin - which means a better rated tyre can actually be noisier to the driver than a poorly rated tyre.

you should really fit an AGM battery to a hybrid which have been the OEM type for Toyota for several years now as they withstand deep cycling better and give off less fumes - this is important if the battery is located in the boot/cabin. There shouldn't really be a need for a larger battery, other 300h owners (either IS or GS) are complaining - I suspect you have one that has sat flat for a while and damaged it.

You shouldn't use an electrical system on a Toyota hybrid without the system being in 'Ready' mode otherwise you will flatten the aux battery, or at best discharge it, which weakens it. The aux battery is always charged when the system is in 'Ready'. The petrol engine doesn't have to be running and the vehicle doesn't have to be in EV mode. Your meter showing 13.9 v when the engine is running (technically just in 'Ready' mode) shows the hybrid system is generating 14v and is providing charge to the aux battery.

pure speculation but possibly an air/fuel ratio (oxygen sensor) problem as they commonly fail on older vehicles and don't always affect performance.

It has a Toyota model "TVSS V" Cat 1 Alarm/Immobiliser fitted as standard.

It doesn't sound normal. Either tyres, poor air seal around door/window or something like a wheel bearing. Difficult to determine without hearing it but my old 400h was very quite at anything up to 60 mph.

It does depend how far someone goes with it. Certainly changes the mood of the picture and the sense of movement. I was playing around here, light was poor so I didn't need a ND filter, had enough aperture range to control the shutter speed. One at 1/10 and the other at 1/125.

well not directly next to it a bit further into the middle of the vehicle. It's actually on the passenger side, I was looking at a LHD diagram but it is swapped over for RHD vehicles. The sensor is also used for the Solar loading sensor of the A/C - in previously generations of Toyota vehicles there was always two separate sensors, it is combined on newer ones.

All the speakers were changed for ones with 6 ohms impedance rather than 8 ohms, I assume that matches a change with the amp. Some of the speaker power handling was changed, e.g. the centre dash speakers goes from 25 W to 15 W and the sub from 40 W to 50 W.

No, it is by the drivers A pillar on the dashboard.
