Yes but that recall is from a few years ago, this is much more recent.

So does mine and it states worldwide. If anyone hears anything about their car, then let us know.

Lexus has announced a safety recall of certain 2006-2013 models equipped with the 3.5L 2GR-FSE V6 engine — here’s a breakdown of the vehicles affected: • 2006-2013 IS 350 • 2010-2014 IS 350C • 2007-2011 GS 350 • 2007-2011 GS 450h The issue revolves around the diaphragm material in the fuel pulsation dampers of the engine. These components may harden and crack over time, causing fuel to leak and increasing the risk of a vehicle fire Reference; https://lexusenthusiast.com/2018/06/26/certain-2006-2014-lexus-models-recalled-over-v6-engine-issue/ http://pressroom.toyota.com/releases/lexus+is+conducting+a+safety+recall+involving+certain+lexus+is+and+gs+vehicles.htm

^ +1 to this. If it's sunny, then I wear sun glasses. Which also means reduced glare from the dash, win, win. I've been wondering why the OP said sunnies weren't the answer?

Lexus took one look at my exhaust and rather than quote for a replacement, they offered to weld it up, which surprised me until they let on how much a new exhaust would cost. At this age I didn't opt for any repairs as I felt I'd be chasing leaks regularly, so a shiny new s/s custom exhaust has since been fitted.

Nice stable Hmmm, the RAV4 is missing some number plate love

Hi Chris, what's your budget? As you've an RX, does it need to be high lift? A few years back I had several smaller/high street jacks fail after a few uses when just out of warranty. So I bit the bullet and bought a big, heavy, stable, 3 tonne, low profile, quick lift jack from SGS that's been great and gets plenty of regular use, reference https://www.sgs-engineering.com/garage-equipment/trolley-jacks/capacity/3-ton

Hi Malcolm, Welcome to the forum. The GS300 has rear brake hold adjustment inside the rear disk bell/drum, so should be an easy fix. Guide here; I would think that tyre shops should be able to sort out your TPMS woes. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Well spotted John @Britprius

The CT does have an EGR valve, ref; http://australiancar.reviews/2ZR-FXE-engine.php

Nice upgrade and write up there Jason. How does the 300h compare to the Prius?

It's odd that you'd compare on vehicle to another in such a way, especially when the recommended figures are right there. There are lots of differences between vehicles e.g. consider the different wheels and tyre sizes, etc. I see you are comparing to a BMW, does your Lexus have indicators?!

Hi Krish, welcome to the forum. We'd love to see some pic's of your new ride, so any chance you could get some online for us? Sourcing Lexus parts is more troublesome that other makes/models but try looking up the part number first and take your searches from there. 7zap.com is a good resource, or Rock Auto often list alternate part's, etc. Will you fit the parts yourself? If not, then try looking up some local independent garages as they should be able to source parts. Good luck and let us know how you get on.

A good result, at least for the time being. Or do residents now have the charge waivered beyond the next few years?

Oh no, from the pic's it looks like you're caught the offender tho right? I hope the damage to your car is sorted with minimal fuss.

Well done. Enjoy your new ride

The Crown strut spacers fit [emoji4] ...the bolt pattern is the same [emoji6]

Good point, when did dash mounted low pad warning lights become standard?

Thanks John, good tip about the embossed nuts

Hey John, NOT using a spring compressor would be great so would appreciate a guide if you have one. I've never had any issues but I really don't like using them.

Hey Mark, they look good and are a fair price. I've seen that MK vendor offer numerous Lexus refurbs and didn't someone on the forum recently grab themselves some F-Sports from them? Maybe I can I add a working link for you; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Set-of-4-Lexus-LS430-facelift-alloy-wheels-42611-50410-42611-50460-sterling-18/263747008611?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131017132637%26meid%3D3e25440b01144fde9d08a712f9976b4f%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D292140916676%26itm%3D263747008611&_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042

I hear what your saying and it may come to that but at this point I didn't want to throw parts at it unnecessarily and be wasting my pocket money. I've since found springs/isolators/etc cheaper, so that makes them a more viable alternative. Although shipping and import duty will need to be factored in. While the dampers/springs are off the car I will give them a thorough check over and install the strut spacers. If the inspection throws up anything obvious then I still have a daily driver and can order the parts.
