Had a little accident bumping into a huge pot hole along Lagos-Badagary express, Vehicle Lost Control and hit the culvet, Bumper destroyed, lost alignment and Steering feels stiff turning to the right side. Car has an electric steering column mechanism, I was told the column is faulty but changing it at Ladipo, none worked. Reading online, I found out it could also be due to a Calibration issue. Is it normal for a car to loose control when it bumps into a pot hole? It's a converted car from RHD to LHD, Also, does anyone have an idea of how to recalibrate Rx450H electric steering column? |

incogni2o:Have the car scan if it need calibration you will know from scan result |
Re: Club-Lexus by Besto(m): 5:38pm On May 14 |
incogni2o: If you have Thinkdiag, you can calibrate easily yourself but trust electricians to bill you 20k upwards for it |

Please I need help with my is250. Just got this car Nigerian used had to do usual oil maintenance after getting the car and after I’d done it, drove the car for a while( say 2 days). I noticed on the 3rd day the engine would misfire and there was blue/black smoke coming out the engine. When I got the car, the mechanic who diagnosed the engine said the oxy sensors needed to be changed and just the oiling. But after changing all that the car has become worse than it was when I first got it. It rough idles while in a static position and the throttle misfires . Please who can help me with this Mechanic used Mobil Super 2000 5w-30 semi synthetic |

incogni2o: How was the conversion carried out ....... This is the reason, if my corpse is put in a converted vehicle, I will rise and escape. ......🤣😁 1 Like |
Re: Club-Lexus by incogni2o: 10:58am On May 26 |
Lexusgs430: I agree with you, However, the Driver of a converted vehicle should be aware so as to be more careful. Although I wasn't the one driving, I nor the Driver were informed the vehicle was converted. |

Hello everyone, I'm planning to join club Lexus soon but I'm having a hard time deciding between the ES350,GS350 and the IS250. I'd appreciate pro's and cons of these models so as to make a decision. Thanks in advance. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Abbeyismo(m): 6:59pm On Jul 04 |
sirgalahad26:Es350 any time any day GS and Is has eletronic steering rack na the issue be that.eletrical problem but if you get plenty money to spend after purchase no problem sir . |
Re: Club-Lexus by DanielsParker(m): 10:13pm On Jul 04 |
sirgalahad26: Why not Camry ? From 012 up |
Re: Club-Lexus by olumzzz(m): 8:40am On Jul 06 |
sirgalahad26:Why is250 and not is350 |
Re: Club-Lexus by sirgalahad26(m): 11:34am On Jul 06 |
Abbeyismo:Noted thanks |
Re: Club-Lexus by sirgalahad26(m): 11:35am On Jul 06 |
DanielsParker:Do you mean they're more reliable? |
Re: Club-Lexus by sirgalahad26(m): 11:36am On Jul 06 |
olumzzz:The IS350 I've been seeing is way above my budget |
Re: Club-Lexus by olumzzz(m): 8:15pm On Jul 06 |
sirgalahad26:Ok then. Gs350 is the best of the lot. The driving experience is incomparable to the others. But someone rightly pointed out that you would need to avoid swimming with the car to preserve the steering rack |
Re: Club-Lexus by DanielsParker(m): 10:18pm On Jul 06 |
sirgalahad26: Cheaper to maintain 1 Like |
Re: Club-Lexus by sirgalahad26(m): 2:28am On Jul 07 |
olumzzz:Thanks for this, I realised it's AWD unlike the ES that is FWD. I'm not really a fan of FWD that's why I dropped the variants within that range. As for the swimming, I'll do my best. |
Re: Club-Lexus by kingreign(m): 7:17am On Jul 07 |
sirgalahad26: If cost isn't a challenge, I'd take a GS over an ES or IS anytime anyway.its a better built car all round. I have a customer that has owned his since 2018 at 73k miles, its now 107k miles, it's a daily driver car, till date no oil leak, no CEL nothing. It still looks and feel pristine inside out nothing like EPS electrical problem. 5 Likes |
Re: Club-Lexus by Besto(m): 8:36am On Jul 07 |
kingreign: IS is also a strong ride. |
Re: Club-Lexus by kingreign(m): 8:48am On Jul 07 |
Besto:In terms of fit and finish, build quality, a GS thrumps it. The only more superior Lexus sedan is the LS limo. |
Re: Club-Lexus by Aiykay(m): 3:58pm On Jul 07 |
Please what’s the recommended engine oil and gear oil to use for 2012 Lexus RX 350? |

Re: Club-Lexus by Nomerci: 10:02pm On Jul 07 |
I'm due for oil change. What's the current price for mobil 1.5w 30 5l and 1l. I will be opening my oil sump this week and removing the oil pump net for rinsing with petrol, Never done that since I got the car,mind u I'm having some lil sludge as I skipped my oil change due to travelling but I already added 1 liter of atf and my half liter of oil to wash out the engine and yeah I could feel some difference in performance |
Re: Club-Lexus by Aiykay(m): 5:30am On Jul 08 |
Abbeyismo:Please which of the ATF WS is better? Red or green can?
|
Re: Club-Lexus by Abbeyismo(m): 7:08am On Jul 08 |
Aiykay:They are both red in colour sir. |
Re: Club-Lexus by kingreign(m): 8:18am On Jul 08 |
Aiykay: Just have it at the back of your mind, based off the price indicated on that screenshot, those are fake Chinese products. 2 Likes |
