Bought a 2009 one. Had a weeping radiator. New OEM one cost £450. Also needed exhaust work at back end. £600 for y section and boxes in stainless. TPMS is not an MOT fail so ignore it. -
-
One of my fobs will be £50 delivered. I had a spare that got lost in the post for two weeks. Bought two extras and then original turned up! You would have to send it off to be deprogrammed IF it is correct for your car
-
I successfully cleared a used keyfob (£10) and then used Techstream (£40) to reprogram for my car. Still have to get the new blade (£5) cut. I have two spare fobs but they may be different from yours.
-
There seems to be a 20 minute timer in the tpms software. When I clear my TPMS fault code it will always ping back after 20 mins driving. (I need to find id codes for my senders)

Hybrid yearly Lexus health check should be done to get a guaranteed 15 year life from it. About £60ish. Another 8 years at £60 is cheaper than one new battery. I used a main dealer for my 100k service and feel they did not try to rip me off.

Off to the garage again today. Powerflow stainless back boxes added. Saw the fabricator do a little dance under the car as he surveyed his handiwork!
-
Battery is fine.....until you see notification that it isn't. Take it on a long drive and see some bright green to cheer you up.
-
If I had space I would have it for spares.

Bought my GS450h from London. I assume many were sold in the times when it was exempt. Not too damaged from a life on the urban streets. Obviously it is now cossetted in a garage in the sticks. Used to live in Guildford and still work there.
-
Again. State of the art in 2007 is state of the Ark in 2020. Use TomTom on mine. Tried to stick it on big screen but not as secure as window.
-
That only bloody worked! Got a beep when setting after that procedure. Thank you that man!
-
Mine worked, and then stopped working. After I had exhaust welding work done and battery was disconnected.
-
Whoever buys this....presume you will rent out to other Gs450h owners?
-
Ventusky. An airline pilot friend recommended it.
-
I drove a mile through the centre of town.....this Lexus was the noisiest one in the country. Rubber bungs nice and secure. Bit like a just married car!
-
11 years and 98000 miles. Probably fixing the leak at the Y resulted in enough pressure to cause the box to part company with the pipe.
-
And today my rear silencer fell off in the middle of Guildford. Does sound quite growly without. Will replace both back boxes with stainless. Unless I can be persuaded to have straight thru rear pipes. Would removal of rear boxes affect MOT time?
-
Is the hybrid battery coded to the vehicle in any way? What would stop a car with a current hybrid health certificate from swapping in a duff battery pack and getting Lexus to fix dead battery under warranty?
-
Managed to find two key fobs from the (former) owner of a GS450h that was destroyed in the big Merseyside fire. Fobs are undamaged of course. Will get them both wiped. If anyone ever needs a spare fob let me know.
-
To answer my own question. There is a recess above each door that allows the plate of the rack to sit flush.

Got some Lexus branded roof bars specific to vehicle. However the door rubber seal is distorted slightly by them and allows some water into the cabin. Anyone else had this problem?
-
Will be interesting to see the result. Will be tricky to fill the car with wine in France without one when we come back from Switzerland. I can put extra Mr Sheen on the box for more slippiness thru the air!
-
Big road trip. 380 miles. 37 mpg. Now have some roof bars. Need a big gloss black roof box next. Anyone got one?
-
Brighton Grove Garage do Powerflow stainless exhausts, and have a giant Lexus specialist sign above their door. Plus owner has a GS450h, albeit with a dead battery. Do not just roll up unannounced as parking is a nightmare!
