Welcome aboard....Good way to learn from the experiences of other on this site.

Could be a dirty IACV valve, but first thing is to have the codes read. They should be stored in computer.

I wonder if the batteries add sustantial weight....Cant remember...But boy the power of the 400h is incredible after driving the RX300....

So, I hear that Biden today, in Danville, VA, during a campaign speech, said that Romney is "gonna put y'all back in chains". I hear a spokeswoman for Obama's campaign has "no problem" with that statement Sad, but that is exactly what the Dems have done to their voters for over 40 years....buying them into poverty which they cannot escape from....(Welfare state)

Out today, shopping its a 51R series battery, Sams club for $67. Walmart for around $78 Sams club had a better warranty of three years at 100%replacement. Wanted to add this is old news as the Panansonic OE batteries failed very prematurely.....

I too am a fan of history (my favorite subject) however Americans have become lazy, whats in it for me, government suckling people. I am sorry I think man is better off both mentally and financially when they have a real purpose in life. That is why jobs are so important, and not this never ending spending by government to provide a income with no work. Too much of anything destroys its value....that is what we have created with the Great Society which has poured billions into the poor without asking for some kind of results, other than providing votes for the Democratic party. Both Parties are sick, but there are good people on both sides that want to create a better economy and jobs. Unfortunately Obama's administration has failed miserably. The shovel ready was a joke, the green jobs ended up being garbage, and the green energy investments like Solundra ended up being kickbacks for the Obama campaign coffer. We have almost three times as many people on food stamps, and unemployment has created a I dont want to look for a job attitude with the extensions. We are ripe for the same things that happened in Europe during the 30's of last century. Now Obama wants to share what is left of our dismal economy with the ones that dont work, or are trying to find jobs. I am all for job training, but not year after year handouts. I am not alone in my dispair, while watching the media blast every solution for jobs, and supporting the radical ideas from this administration. Millions of Americans want to see some results toward the light at the end of the tunnel. Paul Ryan is willing to have those big boy discussions, not attacking, and find solutions. Unfortunately the other side pulls the usual Scare tactics on the elderly and social security system. The truth is he wants to save these systems so that people will have a future. He wants to save this Nation financially before we head over the abyess.

Go to Walmart , Sams club, Costco. They have your battery and it will be better quality....It is the Same size that Many Honda's use....skips my mine at the moment...

Ok read it, but I believe the campaign is going another direction with Ryan. Now it will be the will of the people to decide whether we are going to become fiscally sound, or redistribute the wealth with Class envy. Obama stated today that there needed to be a sharing of all wealth....That is a serious statement...Not a fix for the drive off the clif that is coming. Ryan has come up with two budget plans, both turned down by Obama administration. At least he is thinking outside the box. This is going to be the election of those that work and those that dont want to....but share the workers salary....Very sad statement of what we have become. Absolutely no thought of protecting our children and grandchildren from the destruction of our capitalistic society. (Which has provided many Americans with a great life.) I feel really depressed, I am not sure there are enough Americans to get off of this welfare entitlement society.....I believe Romney selected Ryan to make it clear, and the coin is going to be tossed in this election to determine where this nation heads.....this may well be the most important election of our democracy....We are either going to turn our noses up to what our founding fathers created, or we are going to become Greece, Spain, France, etc. I pray everyday for we the people to come to our senses.

Welcome aboard....Nice ride....

You could try doing a battery disconnect for 10 minutes and then hook back up...wont hurt anything, if no go, than you may have a motor problem...

The only time I saw this the brake pads wore out fast too. Turned out being the brake lines (rubber) had expanded inside and werent allowing the calipers to release all the way....(note: was on a chevrolet truck) Chances of both wheels would probably be not a go. This only happened on one wheel.

the fronts are a whole new experience....pain in the !Removed!....The entire hub assembly has to be removed and then the bearing pressed out and new one pressed in. I did it twice, once on a RX300 and on my RX400h....First time went well, the second time I actually bent the hub...My $37 job turned into $350 real fast....There are tuturol on Toyota Nation site.

thats why an alternative tax would be great....Such as a Use tax....Then when you buy, you pay.... Thats another long debate.... Frankly the financial status of this nation is close to horse manure. It needs to be fixed, and not by tax and spend.

I would use Black or clear silicone and hold in place with blue masking take until it sets...

Very well said Lexirx330, I agree totally. I just finished Marco Rubio's book this morning...I must say he has a great attitude to solving problems. He wants to solve problems, not be a partisan bickering politician. I personally was in hope that he would have been the VP selection. I know pandering to the hispanics, but after reading his thoughts, and where he has struggled from he is a fine young man. I know Paul Ryan is a brilliant man on finances, but I worry about the immediate problem of getting somebody other than OBama in office so that this economy can really grow again. If anybody wants to read a very enlightening book read Marco Rubio book. It will show what immigrants really are about when they worship our country for its greatness. An American Son: A Memoir [Book]by Marco Rubio He gives a great insight on how elections are one, and seems very respectful of our system....He truely will be a rising star in solving this nations problems, showing the hard working, conservative side of the Hispanic community...

Yep personally I agree with RX400h, I would go to next bolt size up....lot cheaper and easier....Also wouldnt have to disturb a perfectly sealed oil pan.,

I would stay on both forums, the Club Lexus Forum has a bunch a great folks with good advice....especially for the RX300....I flip flop on both sites as it just gives you more tips and hints when going after problems. Welcome aboard.

that is hilarious

Where is the transparancy Obama spoke of? Dont all of the politicians say what ever pleases the audience..Would be nice if one stuck to his promises....

Oil pan gasket is the same on the RX300 and RX330, and RX400 but dont know if pans are the same....Call dealership and ask for part number on the different makes...easy find than just looked on sewell site, looks like pan is the same.....but confirm..

This budget came from the White house, The gentleman was interpreting it for us non account types...

A man with a very different agenda...He has shown his inability to solve the nations real problems of building business, and employing people...He really feels government is the solution...When what is needed is government to get out of the way and create a atmosphere of stability...

Buenos Dias,, Do you have any codes. That would help us a lot more....

And what is different by most of the legislatures in Congress whom cut crooked deals with contractors, and Obama not releasing some of his pass history....But it is ok for him to give to Solendra and then get campaign contributions from those same officials.? At least Romney wants to grow business, not more welfare without work programs...
