yeah thanks mate, i thought it was that but wanna be sure so thats why im lookin for someone who knows what there talkin about

[lexynik]

have you tried Lexus ?

[dubby]

yes mate, went to lexus in tonbridge wells they said it was plugged in the codes were reset then taken for a drive and it was ok. so i paid the £105 bill and went on my merry way only to discover two minutes down the road flashing lights, misfire etc. went back and guess what..... for another £105 the'll do it again, cheers

i had yellow trc and eml lights come on on mine yesterday at 8-30 am - took it straight to lexus they plugged it in for free-diagnosed coilpack fail,they ordered one for 2 o clock at £105 + vat - i went back at 2 on the dot,the coilpack was in and they fitted it for free total was £124 and car fixed by 2-30pm

that sounds like the service i shoulda got. excellent garage. are you far from kent?

[lexynik]

no mate not that far im in brighton-about 40mins slow drive from tunbridge wells,i cant believe they charged you to scan for codes-on the receipt they gave you what does it say they charged you for ?

[lexynik]

you have a pm

[VVProtocolVV]

Thats a rip off price, takes 2 minutes to setup and read the codes using the OBDII reader. i don't know how they can just charge people for that, especially when it failed to get the fault the first time round. shame i don't live in kent nomore cos i can lend you my OBDII reader, which runs the software from my eeepc.

You can get a code reader from eBay from £20 and thats what i used on mine to give me the code and reset. Saves going to a dealer all the time as i can fix it myself most of the time
