I have just shoved a duster between the screen and dash which has solved mine

Changed mine at 54000. Pretty straight forward.

I would check your water pump. Mine needed replacing at 54000 miles (as many do) and you will lose the coolant then any way.

I too would like to update my 07 is250 as some of the new roads aren't on it and it would be great to be able to do it on the go. Is this what I need http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-TOYOTA-LEXUS-NAVIGATION-SAT-NAV-DISC-DVD-UK-EUROPE-2009-2010-E12-ref-9-/400692144390?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item5d4b1ce906 And how much of a saving would that be over getting it from Lexus? Thanks

And how do you do a valve clean up?

You can buy a lot of petrol for £5000!

Don't have transmission filters do they? Thought the transmission oil didn't need changing but might be wrong

Any update on your problem?

Don't think this allows the ipod to be controlled via touchscreen or steering wheel tho :(

I too am interested in ipod integration on my 07 is 250, but would like to keep the use of the cd player. Vaistech do one but don't know if its any good??

As I understand it, the carbon doesn't build up around the pistons, only the valves, and this wouldn't cause an engine to seize

That's strange. I would have expected lack of oil or engine overheating for it to seize and neither of these occurred.

Sorry to hear your bad luck. Very unusual for an engine to seize like that. What engine light came on and how long did you drive with it on? Hope you get it sorted ok.
