Thanks for the reply

Hi, My RX450H is due its 12 year 120k miles service. As far as I know it is due spark plug change as part of this. I have checked on the Lexus website and it only lists prices for major and minor services so I have phoned my local dealer and they say that spark plugs are included in the major service price of £660. This doesn't sound right to me but good if that's the case! Can anyone confirm what they have paid for this service? Thanks

Thanks both for the replies. As I suspected, i'll give it a miss!

I have a 2013 RX450h on 105K miles. The last 2 times I have booked it in for a service at the local main dealer they have asked if I want to pay extra for an engine and Injector flush. I struggle to see that this is necessary if it is not already included in the standard service. It's also something that was not offered before but not sure if it is recommended because of the age and mileage of my vehicle or just a new way to extract a bit more money from the customer! Does anyone have any views on this? Thanks

They sell a lot of Rxs so I am sure they have a mechanic they use that knows them well. Agree, I would rather have a Lexus warranty though. Their cars look immaculately prepared though which is what drew me to them. Some of the cars I viewed at Lexus main dealers were very shabby. I spoke to them when I was looking for my RX and they seemed very genuine to me. The person I spoke to was definitely a fanatic of the RX and they prepare them to a very high level according to him. All alloys are refurbished, body work and interior prepped. They do charge towards lexus main dealers but the cars to look lovely. I'm the end I bought from a main dealer and tbh glad I did as I have just had the brake actuator changed under warrantee which would have cost over 2k if I had to pay myself. That said, I think the cars at Boss motors wild be well worth a look as looked very well preppped. Look on their website and they sell very high end cars all well presented

It is the foot brake rather than parking brake and appears to be do to with the "brake actuator" which also happens to be a very expensive part. My thread is here -

I've got the "brake bark" problem on my 2013 at the moment and it is going into the dealer this week for them to investigate. I posted the problem on here and no one else seems to have come across it but a quick Google shows it to be common but seems to be more in the US for some reason? Will update once my car has been looked at.

Seems to be a common problem - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/hybrid-technology/776206-2015-rx450h-brake-actuator.html Will call Lexus today and get the car booked in.

What did yours sound like. People describing it as a "seal bark"! Which is quite a good description of what mine sounds like

I have a 2013 RX450H and was out today and had to brake fairly hard as a car stopped quickly infront of me. Since then the foot break is making what I can only describe as a squeak or creak in the early part of travel. It does the same when in park so not disks or pads. Noise seems to be coming from underneath passenger area under the car. A quick Google shows many people talking about brake actuators and air in the braking system. Car is under warranty but wondered if anyone else has had this?

Yes, seat definitely at the lowest level and could not sit up straight. Have now got a 2013 luxury in mercury grey with light grey leather interior. 66k miles when bought in December and full Lexus history. Was a bit concerned about the light grey leather as have 2 young kids but it is holding up perfectly. Very pleased with the car! I would take a photo but it seems to have been raining here for the last 3 months!

I posted the original message and went to look at an advance but could not sit up straight due to the restricted headroom from the Pano roof. I am 6 foot 4 but think I have a long torso. Now got a luxury without and all good. To be honest, it's one less thing to go wrong as I intend on keeping the car for the next few years

Thanks both. I will try what you suggested JBP. Happy New Year to you too!

Hi, I want to disable keyless entry on my 2013 RX450H but the handbook is a bit vague how to do it. It mentions some settings can be changed in advanced settings on the car itself and that other settings need to be changed by the dealer. I can't see the option in advanced settings so is this something that it does in Techstream? Thanks
