  1. Thanks for the replies I agree with everyone I wouldn't bother doing the repair I'll see what happens at the next MOT if I still have the car🥴
  2. My thoughts exactly as it's only an advisory I will leave it until the next MOT .the steering is ok so no worries there
  3. Had advisory on both sides bottom suspension pins only slightly worn but don't know where they are or what they do Help will greatly appreciated my local garage says it will cost about £650 . Thanks John
  4. Heating stopped working earlier this year,after awhile it started working again nice and warm on the cold days.on a recent trip I turned it down as it was a nice warm day, that was a bad idea now if I turn it up to heat the car it just stays cold I'm really tired of this problem. However on a reasonably good note.after filling the roof rail seams with the captains creeping crack cure the floor has dried out.hope it lasts 😳
  5. There's been a battle scared 06 rx400 in my area for some time.today I noticed a small black lexus owners club sticker in the windscreen,are these still available
  6. Thanks for the response.i have an eye test regularly so cataracts is not a problem. I know the operation is quick and painless ,my wife has had hers done a couple of years ago.. only problem is that she's able to see things like dust or the weeds I missed in the garden
  7. Like many other drivers of a certain age I find headlights a bit bright. I use yellow clip on filter lens that helps a lot. My question is years ago the m.o.t. used a machine to check the level and spread of headlights if it was incorrect you could adjust them,is this still part of the test I don't think you can adjust lights anymore.
  8. Don't want to dampen your spirit (no pun intended). every one I know that has any model of lexus has a similar problem. They all leak🤬
  9. Many thanks for the suggestions I don't have the time or inclination to start taking the interior apart.i don't have a garage so working on my driveway in this weather, so that's not going to happen. I've looked at the video's on YouTube and they all seem to be a lot of work. I've had seven cars over the years all different makes and none have ever given me this sort of problem Thanks again 😕🥴
  10. I have a wonderful paddling pools in the rear passenger foot wells.i keep bailing it out but within minutes it's back again. My local ex lexus mechanic says the only way to sort it out is to remove all interior panels and head lining and try to trace the leaks.having read other posts on this I can't Face the Idea of the expense and time involved,so I will just keep drying it out until the floor rot's away then scrap it. This is definitely the only lexus I will ever own
  11. I'm afraid everywhere is full of bad drivers.i live in London but all major cities have drivers that feel entitled to drive like p...ks .if you come to London here are a few things that may help you There is a minimum speed limit of 45 mph especially in supermarkets carpark don't drake until you are 1 foot from the junction never indicate most people don't know where the stalk is use of horn is compulsory if you have to slow down for any reason as is the wave of the middle finger black cab drivers own the road mini cab drivers are no better they all seem to drive white Prius any rubbish in the car can be dumped out anywhere there are a lot more things I could say but that's enough to start with, just remember every pedestrian wants you to knock them over and every driver wants to crash into them. Sorry rant over time to pour a large whisky and calm down 🤬
  12. Dropped the car to my mechanic for a quick inspection.he recons it's likely the thermostat, having looked on YouTube it seems to be a real problem dismantling half the engine, but he also thinks it might be an air block Will just wait and see what happens in the new year
  13. Thanks for the reply.i must have pressed the mirror button by mistake now I know I will probably use that function again. As for self healing I wish it would heal the body seams that let in water that fills the rear foot well and make the head lights brighter It's really appreciate that member have such knowledge
  14. Owned my rx400h for 12months now,in this time strange things have happened. tailgate not working on the key or the dash button then working again. . heater not working properly then working properly again. now the exterior mirrors dip down when I select reverse. I wonder what next.
  15. Checked coolant level ♥️ok tested heater sort of ok better than it was. Then spent time getting water out of all foot wells.i don't know why as next time it rains they will fill up again
