I am 2300 miles away from anyone I know and I can not afford to take my car in right this minute. My car is a 1990 Lexus ES250. The coolant started leaking and when I went to put more coolant in I noticed there was a bunch of sand looking stuff. I was told it was probably from stop leak that was put in awhile back.
I think I just need to know how to flush it. I need to repair the leak also but that is going to have to wait since I cant take it into a mechanic. I have no idea how to do any of this. Please help me I need to do it soon! Thanks so much.
Answer:
First if someones put stop leak in there and you don't or cant get to a mechanic any time soon i would not flush it out because the leak could get worse i would just top it off and keep an eye on it till you can get it replaced
Run your heater to keep your car engine temp down. Maybe add some more stop leak. Keep the coolant topped off, look for

I have a 2006 lexus IS 350. I got into minor car accident a few months ago where I drove over a dead deer carcass. I needed to have some body work done to replace the front bumper and repair the under carriage.
But now when I drive it, it doesn't seem very smooth at all. I feel every bump in the road, the car seems to lurch and jerk forward when i'm coming to a stop or accelerating from a stop. Does anyone know what is going on?

I have a Lexus SC300 with an aftermarket HID kit installed that worked fine for about 18 months. Recently my area went through a rather rainy season where, within 2 weeks of each other, all four lights in my driver and passenger headlight compartment died.
This includes left and right HID aftermarket light bulbs, and left and right aftermarket LED corner/parking lights. However, I have never had any problem with standard halogen bulbs in the same setting. Also when I swapped the HID's in the harness for regular Halogens, the halogens worked fine. Finally, the inside of the HID bulbs looks a little foggy.
I assume a symptom may be that the headlight casings are leaking because there is always water condensation on the inside of the lenses.
To me, this seems overwhelming that the problem is in the bulbs, but people have told me that it's too big of a coincidence for both bulbs to burn out at the same time. The reason I am so confused, is because I am not rich, so I don't know how to best spend my money. New bulbs are $60. a diagnostic and repair is like $100 (unless i have to replace teh ballasts) and a whole new system is like $180. Does anyone have any thoughts on what the problem might me?
Answer:
Did you check any related fuses and relays , also check the grounds going to the bulbs , rain could of caused a short or the grounds to rust or it could cause bad connections so go over all the wiring and fuses especially the grounds.

I have an 02 Es300 and on the passengers side i guess in the wheel well you'd call it there is a huge plastic piece that lines the inside of the well above the tire. This piece has fallen about 1/4 the way off and is rubbing against the tire, what is the name of this piece? How much does it cost to repair? And do I have to worry about any tire damage because I drove about 30 miles to get home with this problem? Thanks
