I heard about this ... Apparently, Lexus released a tech note about it .. You can get it mended under warranty

Good point ... Yeah c'mon gooseman, where's your sticker ... Join Gold and get some you slimey cheapskate B)

I think mine may be getting its second in a few weeks ... Wonder if they'll bite the bullet and go for a flywheel too this time As Ricky says - warranty ... ahhhh :hohoho:

Do you know which revision of the kit you have ? Where did you get it and how long ago ? Do you bounce off the rev limiter often ? It's possible something's gone wrong ... Exhaust blockage has been known ... innit Mat :)

What's this then ?? Somthing you're not telling us ? Looks to me like you're preparing for the urban school run Careful now - those kerbs right outside the schools are whole inches high ... Clearly requiring 'serious' off road equipment

I think you'll find that the refurbisher lexus use offer a discount to 'GoldMembers'.

I got sent this from somewhere or other .... ==================================================== 3/1/2003 - Lexus introduces branded merchandise A new range of leisure clothing, personal accessories, luggage and golfing equipment has been created especially for Lexus by Gurvinda Singh, one of the UK's foremost young designers. His designs for Lexus reflect what Lexus describes as 'the essential qualities of the marque', which they define as: beautiful styling, clean lines, high quality materials and an expert finish. The collection also introduces items from other premium lifestyle brands, including Bollé and Fossil. The range includes executive cases, travel bags, clothing, golfing-wear and even a luxury doggie bag containing a leather leash and collar and stainless steel food bowl, and a luxurious double-sided travel blanket. ====================================================

:hohoho: Have a kewl yule everyone ... :hohoho:

Parts bin consolidation with toyota perhaps ?

Awesome :D

Ooh, Norfolk - we often here them playing their banjos

As 'thegooseman' suggested, my IS has a juddery clutch. I got a warranty replacement which is slightly better. I'll have to get it done again... maybe with flywheel from the sound of it. I'm sure i can here a chattering bearing at times too !

There's more chance of hooking a bmw or saab than a cod in these waters

When poodling round, there's very little difference in fuel consumption. In fact, i've not really noticed any difference overall either.... and i blast around whenever i get the chance.

Now let's see ... the problem is a 28 billion quid hole in pension funds right ?? Think back ... Labour come to power and as one of their very first things .... Change the law to make pension funds liable to tax - netting treasury about 5billion a year. 5 years later, they've stolen 25 billion out of our pension funds. Makes Robert Maxwell (who they call a crook) positively saintly doesn't it !! Meantime, employees continue to pay 5% or so of their earnings into company pension funds. With stocks booming companies take 'payment holiday'. ie. choose not to pay their bit. Now the markets slump and pension funds suffer ..... No wonder when they've been shortchanged by employers and swindled by ukgov plc. And who's at fault - oh of course, the employee ... Not saving enough are we. Scuze me ?? Who exactly are the ONLY ones who continued to pay in throughout ?? This so called 'pension crisis' is ENTIRELY the work of this swindling govt and unscrupulous employers. All of whom vote themselves guaranteed retirement benefits at the expense of joe public. Damn this kind of thing makes me mad ... 'Politics' ... 'Poli' meaning many, 'tics' meaning blood sucking parasites

Found this quite amusing .... No wonder GRiM hasn't been around much - he's clearly down under http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-paci...fic/2572039.stm

Pushed the 'snow' button in my IS, got showered with white stuff from the headlining .... Ooh, wet. I just assumed it was part of the climate control :D :D

Thud, thump, crash, bang .... and other falling down sounds :D

I have something like this - more of a 'cracking' noise than creaking. Only happens when roof is open - on tilt normally. Stops while pressure applied to plastic trim around inside edge of sunroof.
