You dont have to get them from LEXUS but in order to keep the sound at the same balance and quality, you should do that unless you want to replace all the speakers with other models.

You have to find out if the clockspring underthe steering wheel has a role there, or just thehorn button & still under the wheel issues

Because the car need a front-end alignment. Here's how that works. The steering wheel is attached to 2 tie rods (they go by different names sometimes). These tie rods are then attached one to each front wheel. There are at least 2, and sometimes 4 adjustments for these under the front of the car.When someone does a front end "alignment". they will loosen all these joints and will set the wheel straight to match the direction of the car. Over the years, these parts wear and the wheel gets crooked. Be blessed.

Take the Battery out of the fogg clean inside the fogg & the battery. I use emeryboard to clean the contact on the battery, put it back in the fogg & see if that fixed it. If not you need new battery. Dealer will charge you about $25.00 bucks to do this. I did it & it works Good luck Di

If you have a warranty that covers electrical problems of course it is covered. The horn is hard to reach and requires the car be raised off the ground.

Sounds like your ac condeser needs to be replaced.

cannot say i have changed a bulb on this model vehicle but unless a dealer fitters this question for you then the general rule is open the boot and look at the back of the light ,Here you should see a carpet cover that unclips or has a twist plastic lug on it.Well open this up and behind you should have access to the bulb holder which is quite easy to lift out on the majority of vehicles ,It will have some plastic extended flap type things for a better description and you squeeze these in and the whole bulb holder unit comes out allowing you change a bulb ,If it keeps blowing this stop light bulb after you have changed it then the main cause is a dodgy earth causing a surge so whilst it is out spray the bulb contacts all of them with some WD40 as this will stop any corrosion and aid the contacts to pass current easier.

If there are no external screws (on cover) and the battery is on this side, remove the battery (should disconnect anyway); and you should be able to access it that way. If not, you may need to remove the blinker cover (if seperate) in order to get to the marker light. Please let me know if you need further assistance.carsandcomps

did you attempt to update the nav? if so are you sure its the correct disc for that vehicle. the nav discs are specific to vehicles and nav systems. if you loaded the incorrect disc you have a problem that you will need an experienced tech for.

Most car seats are held in with four bolts. Two front, two rear. One at each end of the slider rails the seat moves forward and back on. You might need to slide the seat all the way forward for the rear ones and all the way back for the front ones. The bolts might be tucked under carpet or plastic trims. There will also be wires to disconnect. Once done the seat should just lift out.

Normally, the manufacturers recommend this service between 80-100K, depending upon manufacturer and model. That said, as the vehicle is 9 model years old, there is a possibility of belt deterioration from age as well as mileage. As most of these engines are interference-type engines and would be damaged severely by a broken timing belt, if you have the funds to do this now, it would not be unreasonable to do so. The water pump is probably ok, but to not replace it with the timing belt is silly, because of where it is and the effort it takes to access it later. If you choose to wait, I would not wait past 60K, just because of the factors I already mentioned.

Not surprised the Halfords boys gave up, easiest thing is pop into a Lexus or Toyota dealers on a Saturday morning when they're not too busy and just ask someone. Otherwise go back to Halfords and see if they'll sell you a manual.

I would switch to a 'Synthetic Blend' first - and stay with that for the next 3 or 4 oil changes (watching for any oil leaks to appear), before going to a full synthetic oil.

its behind the cover on the side of trunk

need the year and model please.

there should be a switch in the car to push to unlock the trunk ,i think its in the glove compartment
