OK, in light of no responses, I've spent some time looking around and it appears that I have the same problem as many others have experienced but, I'm determined not to spend a kings ransom to get it fixed/replaced by Lexus. SO, I'm now looking to see if the compressor can be overhauled by/with a kit as given it's a compressor, it's all about seals! Has anybody else here tried this and if so, can you guide me to where I can purchase the requisite kit to overhaul myself?
The fall back it to install a switch to switch the compressor off when in low mode as it hasn't been off road since we've had it. I intend to use one of the blanks on the dash for the switch but, have yet to investigate; alternatively, hide the switch.
It's up and down like a whores drawers and when it's up, it's awful but, when it's down, it's great so, any views/opinions/comments or warnings on any of the above, please?
Cheers,
Alan.
