I started having the same intermittent central locking issues when my battery was on its way out. Sometimes only drivers door would open. Since I put in a new (car) battery I've had no issues at all.

Not sure how easy it would be but once the failed rad is removed it would be interesting to have it cut open to see where it failed, might indicate a design fault or if its internal corrosion due to age.

Really sorry to hear this, I hope your car is back on the road soon. So it's looking like there been 3-4 instances of this failure noted on this forum over the last year or so. Would preventative maintainance be replacing the radiator?

I cant remeber exactly but it was approx £250 for fitting. It was quite a lot of fabrication work and took a fair few hours. I think Wellsey had them shipped from here: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/qtp-qtec33

I see your West Mids based, same as me, if you would like to take a closer look sometime and hear it just PM me

Just found the box in the garage, it's a qtec33 low profile model. I think all in it cost me ~£450 Inc fitting which took a fair chunk of the day. I also had mine fitted at SRD based on Wellsey's experience. They are 150+ miles away from me so it was a long day but they were brilliant and I would wholeheartedly recommend them. I looked locally but had no confidence id get a decent job done.

Ive had the same QTP valve fitted to my ISF for over a year in exactly the same way (in fact Wellsey sold me the spare valve he had). No issues at all for me, tbh the only times I've closed it are for the MOT.

It's not far for me so will probably attend.

Disc's and pads cost are utterly ridiculous, Lexus Coventry quoted me ~£800 to replace front discs/pad which i thought was steep, i paid £150 for Brembo pads and disks from ECP during a 50% off sale.

Awesome and congrats, one of my all time favourite cars in all variations. I was actually looking for an early RT/10 before I ended up with my ISF, just nothing available anywhere near my budget at the time. Just make sure you bring it to one of the F meets in the future 👍

Yes £5 to park, i don't think it was an event day either. It was very busy though.

Briefly met Twellsie above at Caffeine and Machine yesterday. Aston alloys looked great 😎

I can make this 🙂

Not far for me, would deffo be interested.

Maybe bronze? bronze on white does look nice and would be a bit different from the norm. Tbh im not a massive fan of black wheels as you lose the definition of what the wheels look like. They do look good if you go full black on black though.

Didn't think I could make this but weekend plans have been canceled so I can join in for the Saturday run 😀 1. Yes 2. 1 car mine 3. Just 1 me 4. No dietary requirements 

Gave it a quick clean earlier today.

Congrats on the purchase! Recently spotted this on the US forums, From what i can gather its a 330k+ miles ISF still going strong, aside from the routine consumables and known issues being addressed it sounds like its all orginal, amazing build quality!:- https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-f-2008-2014/863212-isf-with-333-000-miles-6.html

Looks like I can make it to this one 😂

Sounds fantastic, love the black wheels!

Congrats on the purchase, I had a quick nose around it while it was at Coventry Lexus, looked fab! Sounds like you had very similar reasoning for buying as I had, you won't regret it, it's a very special car. I've had 33mpg out of mine a few times on my mainly motorway commute, it's surprisingly frugal if you don't get caught in stop/start traffic.

I'm in Coventry and happy to assist, I'm pretty sure I can make the meet in July also so could help then.

I got a similar crap deal when I switched over my policy from my modified MX5 to the ISF, only 5 months left on my policy and they wanted £450 (Footman James) extra which was hard to swallow. Come renewal time they wanted £1200. They couldn't improve it at all when I asked them to get closer to the £520 More Than quote i ended up going with.

Unless your really ham fisted and break connectors there's not really a great deal that can go wrong. Hardest part is getting your head and hands in positions to get to the throttle pedal connector.

It is really simple to fit, I'd happily do it for you if your local, use this guide by Peter P18 Link and you won't have any problems. To summarize: Pop off the side panel on the dash (I used a blunt kitchen knife) Pop out the switch blank, there's a little clip on the top and it just pops straight out. Get in the foot well and undo 2 or 3 screws holding the panel with the odb port on it, and carefully move it to the side (I didn't disconnect any cables) At the top of the throttle peddle the is a connector, un-clip it, the clip faces towards the door. Fit the Apexi switch, drop the switch wire down through the hole into the footwell, connect the ISF specific harness to the throttle pedal connector and the switch into the Apexi box. Now you will notice a red dot on one side of the Apexi harness connector which needs to connect to the connector which was on the throttle, connect it with the red dot on the same side as the clip. Fit the Apexi switch into the blank hole, use a bit of double sided tape to hold the switch in place. Now press the start button twice (no foot on pedal). Car won't start put dash will power up. Now do the setup process as guide says above. Now put everything back together and use a couple of the supplied cable ties to secure the Apexi cables and box out of the way.
