Car/year: IS200 2001 Xreg

Company who replaced screen: Autoglass Basingstoke - fitted a Pilkington screen

Date fault developted(First noticed): Jan 2007

2010 - Fuel, MPG, collant guages failed to work when car was running, Fuel empty light on gauge failing to work, E flasing on outside temp gauge.

Alarm failed to disarm leading to setting off when opening door.

Current state:

After getting back in touch with Autoglass and complaining etc with some info from LOC and Lexus Reading, I asked and got a replacement Lexus OE screen which should curfe the issues.

Cost to date (not inc orginal screen/excess)[b/]

£0

Cost reclaimed and from whom (if any)[b/]

Any further relevant info:

Apparently the Pilkington screens do not seal properly around the heater cable - common issue. Lexus say they never put in a screen other that the original Lexus ones due to this issue and have never seen a failure. They also said that Autoglass head office should be aware of this issue as they have contacted them about this and to call head office to get it sorted.
