Hi. The driver's mirror on my RHD LS460 folds in and out okay, but when folding in, it gets to the stop position but keeps trying to go further, so it continuously clicks. Is this repairable, or will the mirror have to be replaced? Has anybody fixed this problem? If so, how? Cheers.

Just wondering if anyone else has recently encountered the following issue: I have two phones now running with IOS 18.1, an iPhone SE and iPhone 16 and they both are having the same problem, i.e. when making a phone call, the party I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. I first encountered the problem with my iPhone 16 and at first thought it was the cable connecting to the USB-C on the phone. I went out and purchased a wireless CarPlay adapter which circumvented the problem. However today I needed to connect the iPhone SE and it too got the same problem in that when making a phone call, the person I'm calling can just barely make out what it is I'm saying. Checking sites in the USA it appears to be a common problem. UPDATE: The problem did not exist using IOS versions prior to IOS 18

Hi Peter, After taking onboard your suggestions and a few good nights sleep to mull over options the new driving lights are installed and working. No holes were drilled into vehicle but I did cut a small slot into back of the larger plastic fuse box cover/lid to source power from jump start terminal. (12v battery is in boot of NX 450h+) The wiring was a little fiddly but not having to take the dash apart was a huge bonus to installing the XBB kit. Was able to ‘reuse’ relay base from wiring harness supplied with Ultra Vision lights. Fitted a 20 amp inline fuse as lights draw 13.2 amps total. Smart button works a treat so can have high beam on without driving lights. So glad that I found this forum when I did, Neil

Hey Lionel, is this person still available to do touchscreen replacement in Perth, even for a fee? Same issue on my 2007 IS250 with the touchscreen broken. Thanks in advance

Can you recommend anyone who does Lexus service? 2010 model.

On 2012 IS350 got CHECK HEADLIGHT SYSTEM. Nothing initially untoward, but eventually a nasty electrical smell & wispy smoke, then all warning lights started to come on one by one and ended with not enough power to steer the car. Could all this be because of a faulty levelling pack?

Black circle covering the centr of the HUD information on Lexus NX350 F Sport 2022 model. Anyone know how i can clear?

Do all but the spark plugs. And when they are due, demand that a mechanic with a torque wrench removes them. Some dealers claim the plug is stuck and will cost $2k to remove and re-thread ... while in fact the dealer has just left them there awaiting an extra $2k.

Wondering about the life of the hydraulic suspension and its servicing costs? How similar is it to the 470's system?

Greeting fellow Lexus enthusiasts. There is an used is300h that I am interested to purchase but there is one issue. The vehicle was not driven for more than 2 years. My question, is it a good idea to purchase this vehicle? And what should I look out for when inspecting the vehicle? I am planning to do the battery life expectancy test using Dr.Prius and full diagnostic run on OBD decker.

the day of our 90,000km service we were advised that our 25month old Lexus Battery was at 70% and we should change it, the next day the power tail gate only opened to 30%. i have carried out some basic resets for the tailgate but no joy sofar. could the fitting of a new battery fix the tail gate issue. thank you from Darwin

I recently bought a 2016 RX450h, amazing and plush car, however the map data in the infotainment is extremely dated now reaching the 8 year mark. I've gotten lost twice on the rozelle interchange since the car doesn't have the most recent data to show that route change. Is there any way I can update the system so I at least have data from 2022? From what I know, I have the Gen8 Lexus Remote Touch System.

I had the same issue with my IS250 and it may sound funny but it was the fuel cap. I changed the cap and the problem stopped. Before the cap arrived I cleaned and moistened the seal on the cap and that seemed to help

Hi all - sadly last year I had to fairly quickly find a car to replace my written off Ford Focus ST - (loved the handling of that car and the Turbo "kick"). So I was using my wife's car - and looking for a replacement with some style and looked to Lexus coz they're classy, V6, Toyota reliability and all the rest... If I'd had more time to find one I would have bought an IS350; but there weren't any for sale at that point and my wife's transport situation for the new job was becoming urgent! I'm pretty happy with the 250 and it moves fairly well - but I know the 350 is quicker still. But - there's the Direct Injection issue with the 250 and I know down the track (currently has clocked only 105,000 kms) the intake and valves are going to grow carbon! 😝 I'm a young at heart 66 yr old - was thinking this might be my last car; so was fairly disappointed when I learned the IS250 had this issue - really kicking myself now! 🤪 Would love some opinion from the brains trust, would you: Fit an Oil Catch Can - and just live with it? Sell it and buy the 350? Any other advice? Cheers Steve
