Today when i got into my car the wee metal bits on my jeans caught the leather seat and a nice big scratch appeared on my leather seats! Does anyone have any tips on how to get these scratches away or fixed? All help appreciated as usual!

Its sold.....got rid of the LEXUS. Got fed up of the noises, rattles, squeaks, lack of space. Bought myself a top of range Honda CRV - all the same toys as my lexus ie camera vocie comands etc. And im loving it! So bye bye lexus and i look forward to the next survey I get through as I will quite happily point out that i felt as if my car was put together in an hour!!!

it drives OK. I didnt notice it until I was washing the car yesterday!

Hi all,

Wonder if anyone else has had this issue. At the back end of my IS250 the drivers side wheel arch is lower than the passengers side. To me it looks as though the suspension on the drivers side has been damaged some how and now sure how. Im a tad concerned about that!!

Thinks its just another reason to consider getting rid! I find there is little space since having our first child and the continuing issue with rattles from seat, dash and centre console....oh and now the intermittent engine noise on a cold start my mind seems to be made up to get rid. Considering the new Honda CR-V or Rav 4....not sure what yet

Well I had a Sony Ericsson.....now I have an Iphone....and to be honest its the best. So get yourself and Iphone!

Just found out I had a puncture outside my work!! Raging as they are not that long replaced!

Anyway RAC been out and put on spacesaver......and its minging!! So taking a half day to get that replaced!!

Its on drivers rear....just wondering how safe it is seeing as its rear wheel drive!!

This all lokks good guys, but what use it to anyone. Can I make any usefull changes in here? Look forward to your replies as I like playing with all tis kinda stuff!

Hi all,

Was wondering if any one else is having these issues with there car. I recently had fixed the side panel on the side curtain airbag (drivers side) where it was coming loose and the same thing has now happened to the passengers side airbag. :tsktsk:

And today..my Sat Nav just decided to cut out! Was driving along quite the thing and then the screen went blank! When I pressed the MAP button i received the message "The external system cannot be connected". Stayed like this for a good 20 mins, tried turning car on and off but to no avail! Then I pressed DEST button and back on it came! Weird!

Anyone else had similar probs? Will mention to Lexus Edinburgh when my car goes in for the airbags on the 21st.

any idea where and how I can get the CD out....im not sure where it is!!

Anyone know what the latest version is of the Sat Nav......im looking to get an updated version and wondering if it was available and if so what price??

Look forward to all replies!

Hi all,

We are just about to buy our next car seat as our son is now 6 months and nearly ready for the next car seat up from newborn. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what car seat to get as I know the seats in the back of the IS250 Sport are fairly "shaped" shall we say!!

Also, is isofix they way to go?? Has anyone bout the seat that Lexus offer

Help is much appreciated

Just got ma car back from its service. Everything all OK with the service, however spoke to service manager and its to go back in for a few things under warranty.

1. Hand brake not holding on hills correctly

2. Corrision on ALL 4 of my alloys and all 4 are getting replaced - BONUS!

3. Drivers SRS airbag, part required as comes loose.

Just wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. Ive heard about the corrosion, cant believe that all 4 are getting done tho. Crazy. Oh well get an RX350 for a couple of days!!

keep the badges man. Good to show off what your driving to people who dont know!

Well my cars in for a few bits and pieces at end of august and im getting RX350. Cant complain. Thats twice I will have had it now

glad of this post as I was thinking this today as well!

Anyone know what the tyre size is on the IS250sport? I have dunlops on at the moment but need to know what size they are?

"Why would I go to Lexus?"

Well its 2 mins from me. I cant get the air caps valves off and I dont trust any other bugger!!

So are you sayin that Kwik fit are maybe a good option for a new tyre?

Think I may have a puncture. Went to top it up with air tonight at Tescos and couldnt get the bloody air caps off!!

Tried and tried but failed. Whats the best option if I do have a puncture. Kwik fit or just bit the bullet and go to Lexus?

Any ideas on cost would be good also!

The big question for me is

1. Does it mark your car?

2. Im I better going through lexus for this.

All answers appreciated

Somebody must know.....surely?

Wonder if anyone could help please and if possible give a step by step guie on how to get the track listings to appear on the IS250 screen. Every time I put a CD in there is no tracks listed. Do you have to do this manually or will it only work on copied CD? Can anyone help with this please

Thanks in advance

Well im glad to report that mine are all gone and lets hope they stay that way! Im just glad to have my car back and running smoothly. There is now no need for me to drive with the radio up full to hide the creaks! Let me know how you get on Brian

Good luck

Ivan - mine went in for exactly the same thing - twice. It is now fixed. get them to speak to Leicester - a man there knows exactly what to do with that seat belt anchor.

Well got my car back today and all is looking good. For those of you that dont know the problem it was a annoying "creaking" noise from the seat belt catch area. I fixed this myself previously by putting down a bit of cloth, and it looks like lexus edinburgh have done the same, except its a black piece of cloth! Apart from that all is good as this fix seems to have stopped all creaks. Which I am very happy about, so thankyou John Donaldson at Lexus Edinburgh. But I have been in this situation before when it was in for the third time. So I will hang fire just now, but it is looking very promising. I have to thank John as he has been fantastic in keeping me updated and also giving me a Lexus RX350 as a courtesy car. Lovely car and so tempting!!!

Shame I didnt get a bottle of wine as a gesture of goodwill or at least half a tank of petrol!!!!!! I had to fill my car when the gave me it back!

But all in all THANK YOU VERY MUCH. But I will email all direct to reflect this also.

Anyone else have the seatbelt issue ???

Ok...after posting my comments above, my car was kindly taken in by those people at Lexus to look at. FYI the problem was a creaking drivers seat coming from the seatbelt catch area.

The car was in for over 4 days and unfortunately i couldnt give it a quick test drive as it was dropped of at work, but i was advised that it was fixed. Well.......as I am sure you have guessed, it wasnt! Infact it came back with a further problem. My ICE pack which is stored in the glove box doesnt work! So, I still have a creaking front seat and to add to that I have a DVD system that doesnt work in the rear seats!

Well its back at Lexus Edinburgh tomorrow and im getting a RX400h as a courtesy car. But I just want my car fixed. Would make me soooo happy.

I was told that it was my seating position by the service manager as I am a fairly big guy.....but that shouldnt matter. You should be able to sit anywhere in a 30000 car and not expect it to creak!!

So wish me all luck.....4th time lucky. I will keep u posted!

Can anyone help?

My Sat Nav manual says that to remove the DVD you will need the 'picks' from the in-vehicle tool kit to allow the clock panel to be removed, that sounds okay, but I do not have any 'picks' in my tool kit.

Am I missing something, or is this another case of UK customers not getting all the parts listed?

Are the 'picks' stored somewhere else?

so does this mean there is a new version out the??

If so where did we get it from?
