AWD is not a hoax and it is full time 50:50 despite what others have said here. It doeasn't just kick in when there is slippage but It's on all the time. Why would Lexus cheat and lie to it's customers and the whole world if it was actually 95:5 or if it was only part time ???

Sounds good to me.

How are you going to put 17" tires on your 18' wheels?? The savings with the 17" tires are going to be offest by the cost of the new wheels. Actually you're quite lucky you got 47k miles out of your GYs. Most people get around 25K mi.

Thanks Booyah. I'll try again with the dealer.

I agree with both opinions. I used Zaino on my black car and I didn't like that mirror look and frankly I wasn't impressed with the durability either. Zaino by itself is not a polish although now they have a dedicated polish . The most important step in the detailing process is the polishing step. When you're satisfied with the paint condition after polishing then top it off with an LSP. No wax will give you good results if the prep work is incorrect. There are many good products out there. Don't just limit yourself to one.

Now I know .Thanks

From what I've read you mights also think about a cyclo polisher. I've never tried one but from I've read at Autopia that there are no vibrations associated with the cyclo. Might be worth it to do an internet search and investigate.

Are you talking about these 81150-0E020 and 81110-0E020? I got them from an older post by you. A couple of months ago I took my car to the dealer and complained that my headlights seem dim. I specifically gave them these part numbers The service advisor wrote "check for headlight update" on the ticket. When I picked up the car the invoice said that no update was available. Are these just updated HID bulbs (D2S)? Can I just buy and install them myself if my dealer won't aknowledge the update? BTW Mine is an earlier build RX330- Aug03. Thanks in advance for your help.

Adjusting the headlights is the only thing that I would never trust any dealer to do. I adjusted mine myself after having the same problems everyone is complaining about. I did it in small increments. First time I raised them about 5 turns. A couple of days later I raised them about 3 more turns and now they're much better. If you can open the hood and check your oil a nd coolant level you can easily adjust your own headlights without waiting for these incompetent dealers. All what you need is a socket and a long phillips screw driver to adjust them horizontally. All the instructions should be in the owners manual.

No, The one for the power door is EL002R-04 APR 04. You can find all TSBs for the RX here http://www.alldata.com/TSB/74/04740817.html Just have the dealer check it. Maybe you just have a defective module. Edit: You didn't mention if this is an intermittent problem or not.Did you try resetteng the Auto feature from the glove box button? Do it once and see if it helps.

There was a TSB on the liftgate module malfunctioning but I believe that was on 2004 models. Iam surprised that an 06 model still has the same issues.Anyhow call your dealer and have them check it out. It may still be related to the TSB for the liftgate module.

I don't know about the 17" wheels but for the 18" try to get the Michelins. They're a lot quieter than the Goodyears. If your dealer has some vehicles with Michelins insist that he swaps them for you.

I have the 18in OEM Michelins and they are dead quite. When we got the car I insisted that the dealer switch the Goodyears to the Michelins and so far I haven't been dissapointed. They have a softer sidewall than the GYs wich helps in ride and noise but gives less steering precision. I make up for this by running them at 33PSI cold .Max is 35PSI. BTW The only noise that should be heard is the wind noise. At 60mph engine noise is really low and with the Michelins I have no tire noise. I don't think it should be 90dbs.

Your swirls keep coming back because the fillers used to hide the swirls keep washing off. You'd be surprised how many so called professional detailers induce swirls while "detailing" your car. After my second professional detailing I bought a Porter Cable ,a rotary buffer and all the pads and polishes to do my own detailing. If you have the means and the time do your own detailing .Nobody will care for your car more than you.
