good luck in your search and i know what it means to find 'the right one' but sometimes small compromises may need to be made

Hi all, I am looking for a Lexus LC500. Ideally 2023 or later though open to earlier models No more than 20,000 km. Or 23k km at a stretch. I have funds ready… but not a big fan of the limited configuration combinations currently available on Carsales. I’d like to purchase as soon as feasible.

You can look up the specifications from ENEOS which supplied the oil to the Lexus factory so would have been filled with their oil on the production line - this is predominantly a UK based site but will still give you the correct specifications - less the specific weight of the oil (e.g. 5w30) depending on climate / temperature the car is operating in.

Does I put 5w-30 in 2022 es300h has 380k kms.

The easiest way to find where the water is getting in is by using a Smoke Generator (which can cost as little as £35/$40. When it is placed in the are where the water is pooling it should emit smoke through the leak area and that is where you need to concentrate your efforts and recheck afterwards

Hello, I have a friend in Sydney that has almost completed the swap. On testing, the car has dropped into limp mod. So, it's time to work out the ECU. I am looking for advice on how to make the ECU think the car is "running" without the Auto box being their. Thanks

Hi folks, I LOVE my RX400h, but I am now dealing with my third water ingress/flooding issue and I am running out of ideas. The first time it flooded, I stripped everything out and did the A-pillar refit/seal. That worked well, and I no longer get water pooling in the front or driver's footwell. The second time it flooded, which happened just after I had fitted a new hybrid battery, the front was completely dry, but the hybrid battery area was flooded. I then discovered that the seams around the rear hatch/boot opening can be a known problem area. I went over those seams thoroughly with sealant and also removed the black rubber strips from the inner roof rack rail running from the fixture point of the back roof rack (about 8-10 cm) to the rear hatch and sealed underneath them. At that point I thought I had covered all the known water ingress points. But the *BLEEP* of a thing has flooded again. I am now at a loss as to where the water is getting in. There are no obvious water stains on the pillars, and I can't see any evidence that it is coming up through missing plastic or rubber plugs underneath the chassis. If anyone here has experienced something similar, or knows of any other common RX400h water entry points I should be checking, I would really appreciate the advice. I've given this car a lot of love, and the previous owner was fastidious with servicing and maintenance at Lexus, so it feels like a huge waste to junk it over a water leak I just can't seem to track down.
