  2. any one fitted coilovers to a RX 350? what brand did you fit? Are you happy with them?
  3. remove the fuel cap and clean all the contact surfaces that provide the seal. Replace the cap turning until it clicks.

  8. not sure if the time to destination is related
  9. The time to destination always was twice as long as it should have been. I believed it was a "bug" in the software used to calculate the time. Playing around a couple of days ago i found in a sub menu the setting for "time to destination". The GPS does not calculate the time using your actual speed, but using speeds you input for residential (40kph max), main (90kph max) and freeway roads (115kph max). After inputting these speeds , Time to destination is now close to actual time. Hope this helps others like me who were not aware of this.
  10. will be doing Sydney to Adelaide return via Melbourne in August and then sydney Perth return in October. Last wkend went Central Coast Tamworth return with 2 passengers 8.6l/100kms. They are a fantastic touring car.
  11. https://prestigemotorsport.com.au/ google for more info
  12. sydney to cairns and return in a 2006 standard RX350. Ran perfectly, 3 people fully loaded, 9.2L/100kms when cruising .
  13. looks great. how did you go with the engineering approval
  14. if fans are operating and the car is overheating (heater problem is different), either the thermostat or radiator is faulty. The infra red thermometer should identify areas of the radiator that are "not working".
  15. are the radiator fans operating? my only other thought is install a new thermostat . regarding the heater, check if the switch on the firewall is actually operating. when you turn the heater on
  16. should have added keep the bottle half full of water all the time so the the water level is above the engine.
  17. bleeding is very important. i used to cut a plastic drink bottle in half. At the thermostat there is a 19mm? bolt, remove the bolt and screw the drink bottle neck into the housing. With the heater full on, run the engine and continually top up with water thru the drink bottle until engine is at normal temp and no further topping up is required. Remover bottle and refit the 19mm? bolt. there is also good info here http://planetsoarer.com/indexfull.html
  18. water heater switch is not working? it is at the firewall behind the LHS bank. also bleed the system correctly to remove any air bubbles. go here for info http://soarercentral.com/cgi-bin/sc-forum/discus.cgi and also here https://www.facebook.com/groups/412287448810494/
  19. you are using an extra 1.5L per 100kms, which is ~70kms less per tank. 70kms is ~ $9 in petrol. where is the saving?
