Just fit a fake empty cat looks the same and no mot tester is going to ask you to remove it to prove .

I was led to believe most get damaged by people snapping then in there pocket or wallet and never replace them due to cost .

I put mine in one off those credit card anti skimming foil things and keep it with the ton off books and leather service folder you get from lexus.

I find a pound for cash breaks the ice lol

Oh the joys of so called auto electricians . I imagine he just scotch locked onto the nearest battery feed he could find .

Hmm kids should be handcuffed or ducked taped and placed in the boot lol

If you have no joy going the Lexus route just find one at a breakers. And get a upholster to swop over your leather .

Most alloys can be repaired for about £60 per rim and new tyres are 80-150 depending on what you want .most insurances are worthless really ,you would be better off putting the money in a separate bank account for running repairs as required .

Your tech guy should be able to drill some small holes say 2or 3 in the A pillar trim and push some small bright orange led through from the back that just protrude through and wire in to indicator circuit .so when you indicate you get this flashing in your eye line in orange .put them on a dimmer switch to be adjustable at night and bob your uncle no noise but a visual reminder with no looking down .you won't even notice them untill they come on . Or just wire the indicators to the horn 😂

Sorry herbie just read all your essay herbie explained it correctly

Whoa there tiger all this talk of doom and glooom the first thing you need to do is take it to your local trusted garage and have the oil pressure checked against the recommended pressures and remember factor in age here .if your getting low oil level then I presume it has a level indicator some were .

Didn't the garage inspect the calliper and slides for correct movement ,how much wear was on the adjacent pad ?.worn out pads are fair wear and tear item but if the pad has worn say 4-5 mm more one side then it's not fair wear and tear and they should be replaced under warranty as they have been damaged by sieved brakes etc .

The problem your having is people done tend to brake hard in these bloaty old beasts ,mine was like yours when I first got it and now I drive it harder and tend to rely more on the actual brakes .unlike most here feathering the brake pedal in there slippers hyper milling lol.i will uprate my pads in the future with pads that give more bite .

I'll think your find abs doesn't work below say 3-5 mph .did you check your calliper sliders for binding doing the repair. Any damage to the sensor gear or bracket try checking the sensor resistance with the other side .

You will have to recheck your work you will have damaged or not reconnected the wiring abs sensors etc properly .if no warnings before you touched the brakes 99%of the time it will be your own doing I'm afraid .

Well I suggest all the snowflakes go buy a land rover with a big plastic snorkel on .or better still sell your car and take the bus .it rains in this country and stop panicking over a few inches off water .

Lexus do not make cats they buy from a third party so no and no to your questions .

Just buy a dummy cat of ebay and have that fitted you have another two cats below the exhaust manifolds . It will be fine no you won't get into trouble no it won't fail its mot no you won't go to hell yes you will be frowned upon by the Lexus massive .one love

I'm sure if you do a search online you can get a ripped off cd and load it up ,but your better off with herbie advise .

Can I ask why this is toyota / lexus fault some scum bag nicks your cat .toyota sells millions of parts should they write to every rx owners if someone nicks wiper blades of 3000 toyotas .your car has 3 cats one won't be missed on a old car just fit a dummy hollow cat .its not going to make much difference to the emissions .if you only drive a few miles a day they will not be getting hot enough to work properly anyway .your all getting to hung up on fitting a replacement cat .which is almost certain to stolen again if they have done it once . My thinking is I'd rather fit a 50pound fake .untill the people are caught .why not fit a spy camera under your car to photo there face more chance the police will catch them make it motion sensing when ignition switches off .

Ok you can buy a dummy cat of eBay that's hollow for £55 it looks like one and any numpty from the mot bay will think it is one even if they test the emission as you have two inline already. And if the Eastern European lovelies cut it off then it's cost you another 55 plus fitting .so unless the vosa boys are going to pull you off the road thinking ayup lad he looks a bit dodgey let's cut his cat off and throw the rascal in prison .🙄

I suggest you take the car to another garage as they are just fobbing you off that noise is properly top end chatter or back lash in the drive train at certain rpm ,I would also imagine it's a fuelling misfire or electrical .try touching the throttle slight rev to see if it clears it.what you have to remember garages get 20 mins max to diagnose a fault .as the warranty company won't want to know .or they will do a thorough job at there hourly rate .

Well that looks simple £10 for decent bearings and just press them in . Dremal tool to cut the old bearing race ,freeze the new ones and they will tap in with no special tools.

If mine gets taken it will be a straight pipe bolted in with too late scum etched in the pipe .

Reminds me of those song lyrics I fought the law and the law one .
