Wow! This car sounds like a beast. I mean 390ft/Lb torque from a petrol is unbelieveable - thats way more then the RS4 or M3 or M5..................still not quite as much as my oil burner however tongue.gif

Seriously however WELL DONE! biggrin.gif

So is it possible to get the dash centre console screen/MM changed to english and how does the Sat Nav work? Will you be able to just fit a UK screen/centre console from an IS250?

Well its here………….on my drive………….

Had a nice drive back from the SVA centre who did a top job.

Car is awesomely fast seems as quick as the Aristo Vertex (not sure at 120 mph plus though) picks up well and the 6 speed auto transmission in tipronic mode is very good.

Got most of the gadgets working as well…………

not sure as you have cd or aux if you select aux it says HDD and you get loads of choices of music...........also a little box thingy in the glove box which has something to do withy it.............there are 20 pages of instructions on the HDD but my Japanese is a but rusty whistling.gif

Parthiban
Looks fantastic, glad it's all finally sorted........I must say it's very tempting indeed...... shutup.gif

When you say the gadgets are working, which ones are you talking about? Is the radio, satnav, etc all working fine? Are there any bits that are still stuck in Japanese?
Bazza

Sounds like you have an HDD unit fitted to the auxiliary. My ML MM also has a 60 gig one, but it's an iPod laugh.gif ...comes up on the screen as a secondary CD drive with the Lexus iPod integration unit. I haven't tried to run an additional drive through the Aux port under the central armrest as well as the iPod which is now in the glovebox.

The onboard disc changer is a six slot for DVD or CD. The Nav unit runs off a separate DVD unit, not a hard drive, and all you should need is to get the latest European DVD to stop it talking Japanese. Dave.. PM your email address and I'll scan and send the disc removal instructions.
