    200 series heater hose leak

    I just bought the two sets for my 2008 as it is also doing what this one did, but I guess I need some new curved water hose clamp pliers to get at the two on the firewall as they are underneath and my regular water pump pliers are not curved the right way to get in there. What did you use?

    Current mileage 200 series 5.7L

    Mine is a 2008 with 307K on it. I have replaced struts, starter, clock spring, radiator and one solenoid in the 6 speed transmission. I now need to replace the heater hoses that are leaking at the Tees. I am also planning soon to replace the valley plate seal due to small coolant leak that I...

    My 200 at 200...

    My '08 has 286500 on it, and aside from the Arizona sunkist paint, it is still like a new car. Not a tear in the upholstery, crack in the dash, or mechanical or electrical failure beyond the normal starter, radiator, transmission shift diode, and a few oil leaks. Total cost to keep this for the...

    SOLD Utah: 2015 Lexus LX570 with 68k Miles

    Very nice condition, but it will need to be closer to $40K for me to consider buying it. I can get a similar LC for around 45K.

    Cruise control does not work • wait, working now • no, it's not working

    Most likely it is the clock-spring inside the steering column. When mine quit working, that was the cause and the dealer replaced it for about $175 with labor.

    Regular VS Premium - let’s put an end to an ongoing debate?

    Well, there is a lot of information to support premium fuel, but I have been driving my 2008 Land Cruiser on regular gas for 233K miles, half of it while towing a trailer. So far so good. I doubt I will change my ways for the next quarter million miles. I will report on that next decade.

    FREE Buyer Beware: 2013 200 in Memphis TN, I would not buy

    Wow, had no idea about this. I have 181K miles on my '08 LC and still has the original, albeit a bit pitted, windshield. Barring any cracks, I think I will just put up with it. Yikes. On the other hand, I have replaced all the normal stuff, radiator, starter, clock spring, etc. What a great and...

    2008-2018 Radiator Failure and Public Service Announcement

    Tried that first on my old radiator when it was merely seeping a few drops a day.....did not last. A week later the seeping was back, so I went ahead and ordered a radiator. But, like you said, if it is not yet leaking, it may work. Why not try it? I even tried plastic welding on mine but it was...

    Cool box storage tray

    Chris, is there still room for a half dozen 12 oz. water bottles to stand up under the tray or is it deeper than that? That is typically what we have in there now is a half dozen bottles of water.....important to us AZ folks but maybe not to everyone.

    2008-2018 Radiator Failure and Public Service Announcement

    You may want to go ahead and order the newest updated LX570/LC200 replacement from Toyota or Lexus and keep on hand, because it seems very, very likely you will need to replace it. Why not have it on hand and do it when you have the time. The best part about not paying robber baron prices for an...
