  1. Scarlet - after reading your post, I had a look at my wheels this morning and guess what? Yes, they have started bubbling and am getting them replaced under warranty!! only the front ones; no damage to the rear ones yet! My warranty runs out in March 2009. I got a call this morning to say that Lexus will replace all the four wheels, although there is no damage on the rear ones! All booked for the end of the month....

  3. Hello All I need to replace my two front tyres 225 40R18. I recently replaced my rear ones with Dunlop Sport Maxx, I was wondering if I can replace the front ones with Goodyear or Toyo? or do I need to replace with Dunlops only? The front ones currently run on dunlop Many thanks in advance
  4. Yes Jamboo - you are right. I got it free, wouldnt have spent £300 for it. That said if you get it done from the dealer, you can go back to them anytime if it gets dirty!
  5. Hi I have the Beige Interior/Mesa Red on Sports - I should say it looks v good. I have had the car for approx 10 months and havent had any problem yet. I had the Supaguard done, so I am not sure whether its Supaguard doing the trick. That said, I have had to take it to Lexus TW couple of times with minor marks, they were more than happy to sort it out free of cost. I think you should also be thinking about floor mats..thats more likley to get dirty than the seats. I agree with Wicky - it brightens up the cabin. I had the SEL (Black Leather) for 6 months, didnt have any problem since it was Black! I think its personal choice - If I had a family, then a big "NO" to beige. Javeed
  6. Hi - Just heard that the new Lexus RX range will be out late this year/early next year.Maybe worth waiting then? I dont have further details, the dealer mentioned in passing.
  7. I am not sure if its covered Jamboo - the other day I realised if you search for any cinemas, restaurants, hotels etc it not only gives you the direction but also the telephone number! You dont have to ring 118118 anymore!
  8. Hi Just to add mine - IS 250 Sport - 27, 5yrs NCB, not garaged - £300 with Privilege Insurance (£100 excess)(underwritten by Direct Line). They do my Home Insurance and I have found them very good and hassle free. Javeed
  9. I think someone wants to borrow his car, he cant say no to him/her - but would like to give the keys and then pretend that it was not his fault! Otherwise why would someone want to do it?????????? Javeed
  10. One thing that comes standard on all the new IS models whether its petrol/diesel/sport/se/sel - u guessed it..Rattles! You cant take that away, its company inbuilt. I clocked 10000 miles on my SEL and it had rattles from day one. I eventually traded in and got the Sport version (Apr 06). Its lot better though, but still rattles every morning - reminding me of Gill, Steve, Andy, Mike and the list goes on.... I do not think that Lexus has solved this problem, they promise every new customer that its rattle free. That said, I am happy with the car and have learnt to live with it.....Lesson 1 - Never buy a car (new model), even if its a Lexus! For the records/survey - yes, my SEL had severe rattles. The Sport is much better with minor rattles. Javeed
  11. That’s exactly what I do with the wing mirror Arkanoid. I did receive touch up paint with my IS 250. I think they should have: a) Auto locking on drive off B) Sunglass holder c) Automatic boot d) Puncture/Tyre pressure warning system e) And sunroof should have come standard! I guess I am asking too much.....Maybe, they could have done without the nanny features and got the above as standard! On an other note, I had a weird sound from the wing mirror yesterday and guess what – Lexus have agreed to replace the wing mirror! I am so pleased-no more hassles. Javeed
  12. Lexus Insurance quoted me 550 - Privilege Insurance is pretty good for Lexus, 26yrs, No points, Full Driving License, East Sussex, IS 250 Sport for £369.00. slightly off topic - Jon, I realise you have the IS 250 Sport - may I ask whats the average fuel economy? I average 27mpg as compared to the SEL which averaged 32 mpg. Thanks Javeed
  13. I am not sure about whether they have any suitable products in the market - when I was in a similar situation, Lexus quoted me £70.00 for refurbishment. If there was something they could have done without that charge, I am sure they would have suggested that. But I may be wrong - someone here would have done something differently. Javeed
  14. Mark I had Black 250 SEL for 7-8 months, didnt have any problem with stone chips, but did pick up some scratches on the door handles.( I have got these on the red one as well - Jamboo, any suggestions) Apart from that, the car looked stunning when washed and kept clean. I did use the automatic car washes (the good ones, obviously) and it didnt create any problems. That said, if I noticed any scratches I took it to the dealer(Lexus Tunbridge Wells) the very next day. They always sorted it out straight away without any charge (may be because I caused them lot of grief when I had the rattles), jokes apart, they do look after their customers well. Black is classic, but you need to spend lot of time looking after it. My brother has a black IS 220D and he has got stone chips(lot of motorway driving) and scratches. He is finding it difficult to maintain it. I like the black color when it is washed and kept clean but it picks up all the dirt very quickly. I now have the red and whoever says Black is the best color ,I disagree - Red is the best - what say Jamboo? Javeed
