Hi all,

I fitted my roofbars last week and need them again next week so have left them on. With the reasonably heavy rain we've had in the last three days I've noticed that the door seals are leaking around the feet of the front roofbar!

This has quite alarmed me! I tried speaking to Lexus GB to see if they had any other reports like this and they didn't. They put me through to their Technical Query department that is meant to be reserved soley for the use of the Dealers. They hadn't any history of the problem either.

They recommended I go to a Lexus Centre and have photos taken and a report filed. They also suggested it could simply be the weather seal is damaged and needs replacement.

Has anyone else on here experienced anything similar or any suggestions what it could be? Any help would be much appreciated. :winky:

Thanks

Steve

I'm with Kremmen on this, I always thought it was to do with aerodynamics of the hatch/saloon shapes. These have obviously changed fair bit over the years though.

Yep, deffo changed it RYX! I bought it second hand off eBay and had to call bloke for his code! I changed it straight away to one of mine, just don't know which! I've tried things like 12345 & 00000 and all sorts!

I don't have a copy of the Data Suite for the 6610, (dunno if it is customised for each phone model?) and I haven't got a cable. It's probably not worth buying one either!

I'm gonna try trawling the web for hacks, but they all seem to be for unlocking phones to all networks, I'll keep trying!

The title pretty much says it all!

I can't sell it until I can reset the Security Code as it won't allow other SIM cards to be used! I've tried all my usual codes and passwords and still can't get it!

Any ideas? ;)

Thanks!

aaarrrggghhh!!!

I'm no expert, but I know it would have been better if the engine was warmer.

On the other hand, if you don't do it that often, you may have even done the engine some good!

Do a search for 60,000 service, (it might be under 60000 or 60k). Aido did some excellent research only a few months ago. He got quotes from about 20 odd dealers!

I'll be looking for it myself soon! I'm currently on 58,000!

I agree with the others. Lexus are well aware of this, you can only give it a go!

I told Lexus Oxford that two of my wheels were showing signs of going milky, (the first stages of corrosion in aluminium), they changed all four without a question!

Happy Birthday Neil! :D

Enjoy your day!

Enjoy your day matey!

Had Kumho KH11's on my previous car and found them too hard. Grip in the dry was reasonable, but in the wet, they were crap. It was a different tyre though!

I went back to IE after Firfox, but thats coz I had problems!

I messed a setting up and couldn't revert it. Tried uninstalling and searching for all related files and deleting them, but it still wouldn't work properly! Thought sod it, back to IE6!

Tabbed browsing was great while it lasted!

9/15 I did guess a few though!

Cheers Mat,

I'll call them tomorrow and check if they know about these parts.

Thanks Mat!

I'm not sure if this is a warning, a request for advice, or both!

I had a crack in my OEM screen a while ago, some of you may have seen it at the Donnington Goldies meet. I had it replaced through my insurance by RAC A/W at my home. Well, I did eventually!

They failed to turn up twice! I got annoyed and spoke with the manager several times and eventually a third appointment was made and the fitter turned up!

A week or so later, I take the car to my local hand car wash, ( I don't get as much time as some of you to polish it myself!), and I notice a trickle of water running down the inside if my screen!!

So I'm straight off RAC A/W to complain and arrange another replacement. This time I have it done at their depot and watch them eagerly! Before this, I have been to Lexus Hatfield to ask for advice and it appears my screen had been fitted low. Causing the seal to sit incorrectly in the aperture.

I pass this info on the RAC A/W and they insist it will be fitted correctly this time.

Today, after some reasonably heavy rain, I return to my car from work to find a puddle of water in my gearstick gaiter!! :megaangry: :megaangry:

Straight of to RAC A/W again! They now know me well! I have arranged to let them have it for the day on Monday to keep an eye on it as the glue sets, make sure it doesn't drop and stuff.

Do you think if it fails again I should insist that it replaced again by a Lexus dealer with OEM glass at RAC A/W's expense? (They are using Pilkington glass.) I don't think this is unreasonble, but they do not seem keen!

In the mean time be careful about RAC Auto Windscreens! BTW I am using the Luton branch. If I ever have screen change again I shall not be using them again!

Any comments appreciated!

Steve

Happy Birthday geezer! Hope you get what you want!!! :P :D

Welcome 2JZ!

I might be in Heidelberg in October for a conference! Probably won't get any play time though!

Hmmmm, could be up for this, will have to confirm when the new kitchen is being fitted and get back to you all!

I'll keep my eye on the thread!
