very nice bike!!!....I'm the same, got a BMW GS1200 and never ride it, really must part company with it but part of me thinks that if I do, then I'll never get another bike...

Not entirely sure, but sounds like an A/C drain pipe is blocked...should be exiting from underneath the car...follow it up to see where it leads to in the car and try unblocking it

Would need faults codes to really establish the cause(s) for the lamp coming on

Hi David....good to see you back on here.

What Harley did you sell?

Hi Lauren

Not sure what the answer is really but if it were me repairing it, I would fit used parts and see if it all functions correctly after that.

Not too much to lose then and could still sell the car as a fixer or for parts to recoup some money back.

Let us know how you get on with it

Cheers  Trevor

Hi Crews....welcome to the Forum

The SC430 is indeed a great looking Lexus

Post up some photos of it if you can

Cheers,   Trevor

Hi David....welcome to the Forum

Best place to post up questions, etc from now on would be in the GX section of the Forum  http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/forum/28-lexus-gx470-lexus-gx460-club/

Good to have you onboard

Cheers  Trevor

Hi Charles....welcome to the Club

Glad to hear you're back in the Lexus fold again...can't beat a quality car from a great manufacturer

Cheers,  Trevor

Sounds like switches have dirty contacts...maybe just try it several times as you did to see if they start working properly

I would replace any filters and fluids that you can find....after 90k miles virtually everything should be replaced.

Hi Rob.....welcome to the Club

Very handy having a good Lexus trained mechanic living nearby. This does, however mean that you will not be able to move house for as long as you own the LS  :-)

Good to have you onboard

Cheers, Trevor

Hi Dan....welcome to the Club

The best bet is to have mooch through the posts on here as I'm sure someone will have had the same problems and there will be many solutions to them.

Look forward to seeing a piccy of the IS

Cheers,   Trevor

Hi Tom....welcome to the Club

Hi Ric...welcome to the Forum

Ask away with any questions

Cheers,  Trevor

That certainly doesn't look right...almost as though the charge was not sufficient to fully deploy the airbag

What do you mean by 'partially deployed'...did it inflate at all or only come out of the housing without inflating?

Do you have any pictures of it once deployed?

Hi Jim....welcome to the Forum

sounds like you're on top of all the maintenance tasks...hope you resolve the fuel pump issue.

Cheers,  Trevor

Hi Jonas...welcome to the Forum

Lexus is indeed a very fine car and should give many years of trouble free motoring.

I cannot believe that they want that much money to repair a BMW...that's an obscene amount!

Cheers  Trevor

HI Jim

First thoughts are that it needs a fuel cleaner running through the engine and a very good blast at high revs to clean out the carbon build-up in the engine and exhaust system.

This would cost very little to do and I'm sure you would see some benefits from it even if it does not cure the fault.

Secondly, I would check for air leaks in the inlet manifold area which could also cause the symptoms you describe.

Keep us updated on what you find

Cheers  Trevor

Maintenance Free batteries are genuinely that and don't require any maintenance of any description internally, with the exception of keeping the terminals clean and coated with an anti-corrosion spray grease.

The battery should have an internal hydrometer to gauge the condition of the cells and electrolyte.  Green is good, amber or white is charge needed and black is game over.

Was the filler cap a geniune OE part as I know this is the usual cause of the fault where it doesn't seal correctly

I'm not an air con specialist by any means but if it has seized then it is likely to have induced some material into the system.

However, replacement of the whole system on a car of that age for a huge amount of money....I think I would replace the pump and blow through any air cond components with an airline to expel any foreign objects. Like I say, not the expert but if this worked it would save a bucket load of money.

Hi Darryl...welcome to the Club

That's a fine looking CT and particularly love that front end 

very, very nice !!!  Thanks for sharing it with us :-)

Sounds like brake light bulb/switch fault....the system checks for resistances.

If the brake light switch is faulty then this will bring on the Engine Management warning lamp.
