... Pull back on the right stalk, if nothing happens - add washer fluid and repeat. And if by "purring" sound, you mean ticking?, that's normal, the IDLE is not off.

It is probably due to the low idle RPM. What are you idling at? I believe 550 is the minimum idle RPM stated by Lexus in the manual.

Notice the difference between 'P' and 'D', as your idle should be lower in drive and hence the "purr" you are referring to. It shouldn't do the "purr" in 'P'.

My car does it as well.
