Hi guys, hope everyone's keeping well!
I was driving the other day and the Check PCS light has permanently come on the dash. There are some old topics which point to the radar cruise control module, but I can't find any recent DIY or any other checks I can do on this before taking to a dealer.
Can I clean anything on the module itself?
Naturally the cruise control won't work either while this error is up. I tried to remove the negative on the Battery to let it reset but doesn't seem to have cleared the system as the radio stations etc are still set.
Any advice or help would be gratefully appreciated!

The new 12 plate I have auto-locks after your drive the car, can this function be enabled on the 2007 models?

My local Lexus dealer sent me out a voucher booklet and my minor service only cost me £159
They now also use Castrol Edge Professional oil which is really expensive to buy separately!

As long as nothing related to them fails, you'll be fine.
Also you can always just switch the bulbs back if you need to aswell.

Guys - are there any threads on removing/installing the armrest?
PM me your email I'll send you a pdf

Wow, I'm so jealous! What do I need to do to have a go!!
That looks so awesome, must have been a fantastic day :D
It was EPIC, especially as I was not even supposed to be driving it :)

Thanks for sharing Andy!
Looks and sounds like you had a blast! Nice driving!

We used to have meets down at the Grasshopper Inn. Massive car park out the front...

I'd like to know if there's any difference, apart from the part number, as the 67530 part has been doing a perfectly adequate job on my 250 for the last five years. Perhaps the new design can be made easier or cheaper by SPC.
I must have missed a previous thread on this, but what does this do over and above the standard adjustment, is it not sufficient?

that doesn't work I'm afraid - at least not on the 2001 LS430. I had been led to believe that as well as allowing setting it on the move, it also had postcode facility, but it doesn't. (2009 disc).

Did you take it up with Lexus?

Gents I appreciate everyone has their own thoughts/views on setting the satnav up on the move etc. But once one members has said the cons of it, lets just try and keep on topic, answer the question if we can and go from there. A separate thread can be created for driving no nos' and pet hates etc :winky:
Back on topic: As knitware mentioned, a new disc maybe worth enquiring after.
-
Definately cut it to make it flush, especially if your happy with the new exhaust note :)
-
That is quite a find! Even with a retrim to match the leather it would be far cheaper than an OEM one.
Well done than man B)

These are a nightmare these old spec fogs! I've been through 2 sets and now the new one on the drivers side has stopped working and has misted up. Not spending anymore money on them!
I've just bought a pair of the late spec dark ones and I'm going to wire them in.
What the difference in the later ones then? Are they not prone to misting and corrosion?
There a new design with plastic covering the bulb at the back. It's stops the corrosion and misting as you mention.
-
They can most probably arrange for a mobile repair to be done on the day whilst it's having the service done.
-
It's more the engine that I love, but I'll take the car too
What's the price tag of that alone, come on.. you know the price of it! :P
-
Nice rims!
-
You really want this car don't you, just pay the god damn £25k deposit and let her riiiip!

I know a great independent Lexus Specialist in Sidcup called Tech-One who look after all the Lexus/Toyota cars in the family. You also get a Lexus stamp in the book aswell.

Nice review mate! Will certainly have to get myself down to one of these next time.
They were scared once they'd fired up the LFA you'd open your wallet and insist on a test drive!
-
Battery/Starter motor?
-
Yeah and the mileage will be six figures... but maintained well would be no sweat for it.
-
And in terms of rarity, IS-F wins hands down. Go for it! B)

Hi, the GS450h is a great car, just watch the boot space, I don’t know if you’re a family man, but 2 adults + 2 kids going on holiday for 2 weeks is probably a no no.
I am sure the only recall is for the “Valve Springs”, so just make sure that has been done, although its not the end of the world if it hasn’t, its all warranty work.
Pity your looking now, I intend on replacing mine next April when the new GS is supposed to come out, it will be 3 ½ years old, aprox 17k miles, mint condition, I will probably look at selling it on this site as I would like it to go to a Lexus enthusiast. ;)
Anyway good luck in your search, I am sure you wont be disappointed in your choice of car.
thanks for that wendle. Im used to the poor boot space with the IS, so wont be an issue. Usually end up taking the wifes car, which is some MPV or another. Im in no desperate rush, as i said more than happy with my IS, so will take my time. Ill look out for yours when it on. Cheers
The IS boot space is so much bigger than the 450h's, you can litterally just about fit a set of golf clubs in the bag. Dissappointing for a car of that size and the only reason why I won't be buying one.

Hi Colin,
Good to see you're still here :)
Yeah apparently only the dealers can recalibrate it. Apparently it's common for this part to fail, it's around £700 though :/
Some have said its only a matter of time before it failed...
Not sure if it's worth trying to source a second hand part?
