Just had my sock exhaust replaced with Quicksilver axleback from one of our forum members, will post a video tomorrow. Looks and sounds great.

Hi all. Update. After 77 days of hanging on the ramp in Lexus garage, I got my baby back. The engineer working on my car said , that in his entire career in Toyota\Lexus service(22years) he never had such a problem. The gearbox and all associated parts which had contact with transmission oil were replaced for brand new according to Lexus technical department recommendation with hefty bill over 17, 000 British pounds just for the parts. Everything what been uninstalled from my car had been sent back to factory for post mortem examination. It's not likely they will share the knowledge about this problem unless it's necessary to introduce any critical improvement affecting other cars with this gearbox. This would lead to recall action . Anyway, the car was on warranty, it costed me nothing, got new transmission and I enjoy my ride again. Two and a half months waiting time is mostly awaiting for these associatiated parts which are specific to RCF's and not available on demand. One thing I can realise after the replacement is - the box is working quicker, with no such a long lags in reaction for pressing the throttle. I was driving the sc430 for 7 years before, with both 5 and 6 gearboxes and response from them was much better, what was making me bit concerned. Now is better, but on normal mode still bit sluggish. Sport mode is ok. Got another appointment in the garage in 3 weeks time for transmission oil service. Hope that's the end of problems, now got to replace axleback exhaust and the infotainment interface to enjoy my beast even more.

Nothing so far. Still awaiting new gearbox, they hope by the end of October. 44 days and counting...

Ye, this is exactly this one.

They want the gearbox to be sent to factory for "post mortem" because they never had that problem before.

That's the advantage of buying the car from the dealership. It's the extended warranty which costed me a pound, and saved 17 grands at least.

Update. Lexus Technical qualified the gearbox for replacement due to mechanical damage. During inspection they found metal particles in oil. Gearbox and associates to be replaced under warranty. Over £17,000😱

Yes, bought it from lexus cardiff in June.

Hi everyone. Just happened to me. 2015 RCF with 32k miles. Drove in sport mode, slowed down on roundabout, then flat out, but the car just revved up but not accelerated, drove slow changing the gears to 3 and 50mph. No check engine on dashboard. Stopped in a lay bay, switched the car off, waited a minute, turned it on -check engine appeared trc off, barely started to drive, so drove to my sons house where we realised that the car is not reversing, in neutral position the tranny is locked, couldn't push it both forward and backwards. Moved the selector to reverse and we were able to move the car both ways. Called lexus dealer and they took the car for inspection. What could go wrong?

Hi all I just bought 2003 Is300 sportcross and need replace the front bumper, searching the fleabay and cannot find genuine bumper for sportcross. Done some research about part numbers and found difference between saloon and estate front bumper cover part numbers saloon - 52119-53901 sportcross - 52119-53906 Does anybody know what is the difference between them? Or, are they interchangeable, Regards Hubert

I just connected two of them - Xcar Link and yatour and they dont work with my car, next I'dlike to try is Grom but I can't find the information about compatibility with the 2003 sc, have you got such a device installed in your cars and can recommend one?

Hello everyone! Do you know about any kind of such a device which works with this model?

Hi everyone! I just have dismantled the steering column in my ls430 and i found the power tilt motor is jammed. It works in a short range, but it looks like the bearing is gone or something inside the motor is jamming it - it makes squeaky noises. So it definitely has to be replaced. Does anybody know were I can get this motor? The part no. is 89231-50060 Thanks in advance Hubert
