one day and the next

Hi there I'm from down under in Australia. I own two LS400s a series 2 1995 model, and a series 1 1992. We go off Kilometres and not Miles over here but I thought I might add on this page.... my series 2 Ls has just clocked over 1,100,000 klms on the odometer!! equivalent to 800,000Miles! and might I also add... it has a full genuine Original purchased from Lexus dealership service history!! not one service has been missed by the lexus guys for its whole life ! it still drives like it would of the day it left the showroom floor. original engine, never had a head gasket or anything done !!

Lovely looking IS and a wonderful GSF, happy days, congratulations!!!

Very nice. I’m a big fan of the blue. hope you enjoy her. You’ll have to do a little write up on how different you find the ‘F’

Owned by @Stuno1, although its changed hands a couple of times since 😉

@Mattmech Looks good I like the ‘F’ in dark colours........ 🐀

Couple of mine today. tons of bloody salt on the road !

I have some more news on this no firm date as yet but it is going to be most probably the latter part of April, as regards location it has not yet been decided but will either be Coventry or Cheltenham. There will be a full range of 'F' cars and LC as well as most likely 'F' sport vehicles. One of the reasons for the uncertainties of the date is that they are trying to secure anniversary models of Gsf and Rcf which would be great. Now one major plus for us is that Tim Huxley the Dealer Principal at Lexus Cheltenham has secured the attendance of one of the LFA's , now they are usually in attendance at events as a static display but he will have the keys so at the very least we can all drool and dribble at THAT noise. Just as soon as I get more detailed information for date and location I will post it up. Big Rat

I even messaged him about it, but it's not his. So anyone know this ISF? Another one in my favourite colour!

After seeing @Farquis shining Gs450h is always planned on getting my car corrected they (autobrite) had it this week for three days, £280, and what was a car made up of more of swirls than I remember seeing, and multiplying every second look, was transformed into a rather nice clean car two stage polish, some manual effort involved where paint has been repaired and was too hard for machining, and a water based ceramic coating then within hours, my neighbours building work took effect, the car is now covered, or as I am now pretending, covert.

i know its not the same but my 3.5 elgrand came up with the fault. 02 sensor .not vsc but just engine light. i cleared it used it for a bit .was fine until i left it for a few weeks unused. started it and came on. i cleared it again and its been off. I'm wondering if its battery related too as I'm sure i had the vsc light come on when my 5 series battery went flat

@Flytvr @Comedian Nice digging yeah right I'm the one who's been doing the digging all weekend this is my Sunday building driveways, mind you the customer was told I was 60 the other day so it's a blueberry muffin and candle for Sunday lunch Oh for those who don't know me I'm the short chunky one with Rosie cheeks 😂 Big Rat

@ColinBarber C wow well done you, now you must be a very happy man that looks absolutely fantastic wellcome to the 'comedy club ' forum 👍 🐀

@FlytvrI remember a song by 'Shaggy' titled something like " It wasn't me" Any way it's still your fault if you hadn't bought yours and that comedy club bloke up there in the flatlands bought his I wouldn't have to try and live in fear of past posts....... 😳 🐀

Still looks fine and the seller is being honest Has a towel underneath the baby seat which is always a good sign Decent price too No alarm bells ringing for me - and its still under warranty

Still looks very tidy If I were in the market I'd be very tempted

Deron, have a read through the old posts. stuno1 put lots of info about his car on here. looked very very tidy whilst he owned it.

66 plate 450rx f sport fully comp with wife added £430 direct line. Hundred pound cheaper than any insurance company on confused/meerkat etc.

@d3ron This is the car matey 👍 🐀

@Big Rat, you can vote in this poll

I'd definitely be up for this! Coventry for me to would also be better but no real issue if it's Cheltenham. Keep me informed on dates etc

Mods - any chance you could help Deron, and remove his post code from the URL above?

I'd likely drag myself along to this, even though I drive a lowly F-Sport and battery version at that!! To compound my sins, I'll admit to not really liking the LFA, except for the glorious exhaust song, the rest doesn't grab me. Now, the LC, that's a different kettle of fish

Nice one Ratty, I should be there.

Don't know if you noticed but it appears that you have posted your address postcode by copying that ad link! just saying chap, In case you weren't aware. cheers Paul m.

@Big Rat will be along soon to tell you all about it......................................

Logical fault finding- I fully agree, 1, don't always assume new parts are good! 2, try and swap known good parts to eliminate other components 3, rare but don't dismiss the fact you may have in fact TWO faults, this can happen in modern cars full of sophisticated electronics whereby the catastrophic failure of one (normally high powered) component can impact on another. It is human nature to want one fix but it may if fact require more than one component, hopefully not in your case. paul m.

Great looking car, a big hike in power compared to the is200!!, you will find yourself arriving at corners and roundabouts a lot faster than you are used to.......... welcome to the club.

Never had issues with buying brake pads from ECP, or the other car parts suppliers. It’s just s case of shopping around. I know some people are a bit precious over buying from such places.

@paul99 @emjay82 @NothernDan thanks for your kind words! Can't wait to get involved with fellow F members at meets! @Nick W858 @Northern isf @Warrington guy thanks guys! Obviously we all had great taste 😉 Really means alot coming from F Members! C

Congratulations, beautiful car, you will love it.

Congrats and welcome looks like a little beauty you've bought there. Is the gen 3 business ceramic coating if so I had a well known detailer do mine and it's the best thing I've ever had on any car I've owned make cleaning loads easier nothing seems to stick to it.

Welcome to the forum Charlie. You have picked the best colour. . I’m sure you will enjoy it .

Welcome to the F Club Charlie. Looking forward to seeing you at the 10 year meet if not before! She looks ace! Get some more pics up when you get her home. Dan.

All sorted....couldn’t find a decent RSR at the right price that wasn’t miles away, and decent provenance..so bought the car at Lexus Derby....really good deal...all MOT work sorted, including 4 new tyres, 1 owner, bought from them, and always serviced by them, 1 year Lexus warranty and delivered to my house! What’s not to like! Cheers Steve

Completed her major 10 year service today without any dramas... 😊

The pictures are still there, for me at least...

Improved yes but not that much. CVT is a bit more linear and ride is slight smoother owing to a stiffer chassis and less harsh suspension. Im very happy with the ride comfort but it wouldn’t suit someone who wanted to waft along. I’d suggest you see for yourself on a test drive. IS250 is quite a different beast. More refined but at the expense of poorer fuel economy and more maintenance costs.

Also discovered it is glenarvon pine in colour

Blue in the lead? I’m sure markg has hijaked this thread

I knew it, everybody loves blue

Are you insinuating that this is rigged? Shame on you Gray!!
