Totally agree, battery drain can be minimal such as interior light being on - don't forget trunk light but you won't be able to see this unless you are inside with the lid closed (bit like the fridge light 🙂

Should I replace the timing belt?
Lexus Owners Club replied to McJames's topic in 01 - 10 Lexus SC430
Hi Jim....welcome to the Club If in doubt then I would certainly replace the timing belt and tensioners due to age and mileage. Also, it if you are replacing the coolant hoses then I would also recommend replacing the water pump at the same time as the belts. Here is an article that may provide some useful information to tackle the job https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/84315-cambelt-question/ -
Hi Rick....welcome to the Club In the UK they are phasing out AM/FM analogue radio stations and going digital so not sure it this is something that is happening in the US?

Sounds insane! I love cars like that, takes me back to the custom car days where you built crazy machines (see pic below of my old Vauxhall PA Cresta with Jaguar V12 under the hood) The Pilot's hat sounds like a cool option to keep the bugs out of your eyes 🙂

Advise on selling high mileage RX350
Lexus Owners Club replied to prys0702's topic in Lexus Buy & Sell Area
Hi .... welcome to the Club Have you got any photos to post up to show the condition of it? You could possibly look at selling it to an 'off-roader' as bodywork is not important. -
Definitely seems a lot cheaper to tow it where you want to launch it and leave round the side of your house when not using it. Can you get something like a Caravan Mover (motorised device that drives one wheel and remote control) which saves dunking the vehicle into the water as well? Or as Jim says, you could probably use a winch which may be worth a try?

Sorry, You're right.....not really a boaty type myself and not realising you would be pulling the trailer in and out the water on a ramp....that makes for a totally different scenario where an f-150 would definitely do the job nicely. So not sure the RX would do the job reliably
-
Wow! that's an insane car (if car is the right word to describe it).....looks like a lot of fun! insane power to weight ratio much like the KTM X-Bow which is completely nuts!
-
As far as I am aware there are not any pumps or belts behind the dash but there are motors to direct the vents and flaps and these can be heard when the ignition is switched on / off.
-
You are absolutely correct....seems like the trim level is now reflected in the badging, e.g. Audi using 'Sport-Line' Very good point....sometimes its not always about power and I think Lexus have the best combination of power, ride comfort and reliability
-
Hi....welcome to the Club I believe if the trailer is braked then the RX should be heavy enough to slow the trailer on deceleration. With regards to the transmission, I may be advisable to fit an auxiliary transmission oil cooler to avoid overheating the trans

2007 LS 460 LED LIGHTING SWAP
Lexus Owners Club replied to MR.SMITH's topic in 07 - 16 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h
Useful video, thanks for posting. Recently changed the lights on my Mitsubishi L200 and had to replace the indicator relay to slow down the flash rate....worked a treat after that -
Not sure, but worth raising the seat to see if there is a tray under there

Hi.....welcome to the Club Does it seem to make any difference if it is hot inside the car as opposed to cold, e.g. does temperature make a difference and if so, maybe it is an interference of the two materials contacting and goes away once expansion occurs as it warms up?
-
Should also increase your economy if you're not dragging the additional drivetrain when driving (2WD high is better for mpg)
-
That's a valid point LexusGuy603 and you're right, it doesn't do any harm to have an identity...Audi seem to have used this ethos rather well with their unique grill design

Another truly reliable Japanese car, you can't wrong for a daily driver Icecold-F

Superb machinery you've had the opportunity to drive...totally jealous Dave

Do you have photo of it Scott?

98 Es300 Door Lock Problems
Lexus Owners Club replied to dsubhi's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
There wouldn't be any temperature sensors on the doors but it could be down to heat expansion on the connector blocks possibly. Would be worth disconnecting each connector on the doors and clean up to see if that improves things. Alternatively it could be the remote fob that is at fault? -
Interesting technical terms there 🙂 I get the jist of the repair though

Last year’s reimagined front-engine rear-wheel-drive IS struck the perfect balance of sportiness and sophistication, making it the best IS to date. However, Chief Engineer Naoki Kobayashi and his team at Lexus International have been working on something truly special exclusively for the North American market -
Spraying gas what is leaking?
Lexus Owners Club replied to lfahey's topic in 92 - 06 Lexus ES250/300/330
It looks like a seal is faulty. I would remove the fuel rail and replace the seals as this could turn serious in a short space of time. -
Rx300 Hard To Start, Clock Reset On Every Start
Lexus Owners Club replied to suraj's topic in 99 - 03 Lexus RX300
Usually a dead battery can be at the end of its life, noticeable if it doesn't recover but itself after discharging. Fitting a new battery is very noticeable improvement. Bit of advise PattyPan .... get the best quality battery you can for your money, you can usually tell by the weight difference...cheap one is a lot lighter than a quality one! -
Wheel hub bearing or wheel assembly?
Lexus Owners Club replied to GS300Don's topic in General Maintenance
Hi Jon.....welcome to the Club It appears that you may have damaged the lower suspension track arm which will need replacing as a matter or urgency and realigning the suspension afterwards. I would either replace any suspension arms that you can find in that wheel area or take to a garage for them to diagnose what needs renewing. Let us know how you get on with it
