This may help someone who runs into the same problem. I have a 92LS400. I
tried to use my key to open my trunk but although the key could be totally
inserted, it wouldn't turn. I used a squirt of silicone lubricant with its
thin tube into the lock and it started working ...

Hi everyone.  My car never came with a user manual or a maintainence
schedule.  The car has 109k mi and I'm getting ready to do all back
maintainence.  I have the Lexus repair manuals from Lexus directly.
They're more like encylopedias really... but i couldn't find a

I just saw the new 2007 ES350 at an auto show.  I am underwhemed!  It is
just not exciting.  I had hoped for a little panache, but this vehicle
looks simply dull and uninspired.
The Mercedes, BMWs and a few others have some style, but the ES350 looks

I occasionally hear a low pitched howling/humming noise from the front right
side of my 3 week old 2006 ES330.
Here's what I've observed.

Does anyone know where I can get an
updated version of DVD disk for navigation
system on 2001 RX300? (aside from Dealers)

Anybody knows the website of the main Lexus centre in middle east or in Japan

will be most appreciated.

I am just wondering, because I cannot really afford a Lexus, but my
brother claims that a LExus would never do for him-its gotta be a

overengineered machines, and that a Lexus would be more reliable and

Would anyone with experience of owning an RX400H please comment on
reliability, maintenance etc. Thanks

Just got '06 IS 350, and love it, BUT... FM reception is lousy.  Is
there ANY way to replace or improve that junky window diversity
antenna?  I asked after-market guys and they say the antenna connector
is not standard.  Can I get an adapter, and install a good external

I recently bought a new ES 330. The rear view mirror automatically down when
the gear is in the "R" position, which I don't like. Is there a way to
disable that feature?

I have a 2004 RX330 AWD with 23000 miles.
I'm taking my car in for the headlamp data dots "recall" this weekend
and want to make sure I'm covering everything else I might need to get
done too.

Hello.  I drive a 98 gs 300 w/ 110k miles.  Lately the transmission
would slip/shudder on the highway if I was going about 75 mph and going
up an incline.  I changed whatever fluid was in the pan and it reduced
the problem but it still happens every couple of inclines as opposed to

Are people catching on to the transmission lagginess in the ES and RX
