  1. Pressing the Unlock button on the remote for 3 seconds can ( if programmed in LPS) roll down all windows & Moonroof ( if fitted) and consequently pressing Lock button for 3 seconds will Close windows/ moonroof. LPS ( Lexus Personal Settings ) can be set by Dealer at Service time or by using TechStream.
  2. Very rare problem indeed and I would deffo go with a used part ( a new one will be ££££’s if available!) where in the world has this car been living/used for this to occur? And is it fatal rust damage ( over zealous garage inspection) or just surface rust that could be treated to prevent fatal damage?
  3. Lock your dog in a boot of a car for 10 mins and lock your wife in a car for 10 mins and then see who is actually pleased to see you!
  4. HMP…..not the end of the world… No food bills No energy Bills No Poll Tax But no entitlement to Vote in Elections 🙄
  5. 1 litre of oil consumption allowable every 1,000 Km ( 600 Miles!) before the engine is out of Manufacture Specification's…..but in UK car will prob fail HC test at MOT time long before this!!!! But engine (car) will function quite satisfactory for a good while longer without doubt. Source of info ( after being challenged on a different forum all my posts will contain official source of facts🙄)
  6. “A minute to pop them out” 😳 Yes when you can actually See them that is🙄
  7. Apparently there are multiple ways of configuring the ignition firing order on a V8 and each has a slightly different sound characteristic! I’m not sure but I bet Lexus don’t use the same order as Chevy for instance. standing by to be advised……..👍
  8. As I have said before ‘humans love coincidence’ You may very well have Two separate problems and this may fog your fault finding logic as people perceive there only to be One thing wrong that needs fixing when presented with multiple symptoms.
  9. It all adds up…… P0420 & P0430,EML, lambda issue and exhaust leak. see post no 8 here
  10. My sons 335 BMW has a charging system that requires the actual size, Ah and CCA to be input into car via OBD software as the system is so precise that it increases the amount of charge as the battery ages and if not coded then a New battery when fitted will be over-charged and not last very long.
  11. So if an external source is increasing the charge of the battery ( the CTek ) directly onto the terminals, then the cars monitoring system is ‘just’ going to see a better battery and as this external source of charge never actually went through the cars charging/monitoring system then what are the possible implications? ( apart from a better state of charge)
  12. So Mr Trendizzle, Question for you, In your profile it states that your IS250 is a 2007, and as such, according to on-line E10 comparability checking is should Not use E10, Is this correct and are you actually using E10 in your Car regularly?
  13. The 6 year/60,000 mile point I think is to ensure emissions are kept to a minimum, the plugs themselves are usually fine for 100,000 ( in a properly functioning engine that is…ie no excess oil ingress into combustion chambers)
  14. The cars ‘battery monitoring system’ ( if fitted ) would only be in operation when ignition is On/engine running ie alternator is actually outputting. So if a CTek is fitted and car is Off then no monitoring is happening.
  15. ‘What he said’ 👍 prob not gonna change mine (unless reason to) until 100,000 miles as they were done at the 6 year from new point ( 22,000 miles then) and car is on 48,000 miles now 9 years later, the Time interval for plug change is a weird one if you ask me! If they ain’t being used then they ain’t gonna wear out! standing by for fallout on that last statement 🤔
  16. Manual states 6 years or 60,000 miles ( which ever comes first!) ECP….what at £26 each! ( that’s With the Mickey Mouse Discount code!) Lexus Parts Direct…£84 Delivered.
  17. Gold star to you for getting it sorted… Even this workshop god struggled with this car and us mortals would have no chance fault finding when given parts like this!!!
  18. Link to Ad is no longer available but easy items to identify a SE-L are, rear electric Sun shade ( not even fitted to IS-F interior panel trim is wood veneer ( real Wood!) and…..
  19. I just done a search “VLand Headlights” and this comes back…..
  20. You are right, the more reliable the item the more difficult it may be to get fixed when it goes wrong! My previous heating boiler was a Valiant and worked faultlessly for over 20 years, when it started to play up it was a nightmare to get fixed as 3 plumbers I called could not pinpoint the fault ( I did not want to throw parts at it and said if part they recommended to fit Never fixed it then I would not pay for part, they said that the boiler was so reliable and there was not much ‘history’ of faults so it was difficult to be definite!
