So it's worth spending that bit extra on the Toyota red stuff then? Otherwise I'm going to Halfords in the morning.

Toyota red is longlife 40k miles. Pink is super long life 80k. I bought 5L wholesale for £22 red toyota on ebay but direct from toyota so have invoice for logbook. Pink was a bit pricy and not planning on keeping the car because emigrating. I read all over the LOC to use toyoya stuff, so did.

I've read all the same stuff as u mate that's why I asked Lexus to flush it and put the Toyota stuff in it. But they said its not worth it so I didn't. :)

Its all ethelyne glycol as far as I'm aware so no compatibility. Issues.

I also want my car as good as it can be that's why I told them to flush it. But if a Lexus mechanic (not the service manager) tells me it's not worth it then I believe him :)

yeah if lexus say then should be fine. The posts i read may of been old and lexus were prob more anal about using the toyota stuff thensince it states in the manual to only use it, these cars are old now. Also states in manual to use propylene glycol what ever that means, which is other reason i used toyota because not sure if other ones had it. so does the Halfords one have this ingredient?

[petayV8]

dame! i just wasted 10 quid lol

[rigga955]

Ill have to read the bottle to see its ingredients but from what I've read so far there should be no issue using the Halfords stuff ......

Found where the water is coming from, but can anyone identify the pipe for me? Its just next the the off side fog light, just past and under the washer fluid tank which you can see above. The picture was taken from the wheel arch.

Picture from a breaking IS200.

Pipe to headlamp washers?
