the 1st minute or two that you are warming up the car (maybe even 3 or 4 mins on some) have the heater controls on 100% COLD...sounds odd, but otherwise the limited heat that there is will be pushed into the cabin, and so the engine will take longer to warm up. With the heater on cold, all heat is left in the engine bay/radiator etc, and so the engine will warm up quicker. sorry cant quite see how that works! the water is there to cool the engine, for the first few minutes the thermostat holds circulation back,until the engine reaches a certain temperature then it opens allowing the cool water to circulate through the heating matrix and engine and thus cool the engine, the by-product of this, is hot water which in turn is used to heat the inside, i think the lexus boys have just wired the heat to start working when the thermostat opens

it is my belief that the two bumps are: 1. headlight sensor 2. dashboard lights sensor dimming control unlike the nameless salesman who told me they were the dashboard fixings!!!

my name is down 1st meet so be nice to meet other members and their cars lets hope this weather improves, covering of snow at moment

this famous pitting can any one show a picture of it and where it is likely to happen i seem to have rough spots appearing on the two front wheels where the finished surface meets the rear unfinished surface brought new in sept 02 now up to 3500 miles retired it whilst weather bad now driving round in an escort van with very little heating roll on spring !!

i have a 16 year old and a 14 year old they still rush to get in and no moaning about room only about my rule on no eating / drinking in car

i have noticed that if i turn on my windscreen washers i get a quick spurt from the headlight washers as well, this is without even pushing the headlight washer button, only seems to do it once, and only on first time does anyone else not like the way the headlight washers attempt to wash half the bonnet ,leaving streaks when it dries off??

my dealer is trying to sell me a sports mesh grill (doesnt need to try to hard ) i could do with a couple of pics showing the difference between the stock grill and the mesh one just to convince the wife, website just dosent show much difference dealer quotes 200 ish ,what is the full price and will it need painting /fitting and yes i can get 15% discount with gold card

where abouts are you ? i only got lousy rain

any one know the best thing to clean the upholstry bits which arnt leather not quite sure if its suede or some synthetic material ? cream looks lovely ,but not for long

any one know where i can get a set of fiesta headlights to fit my lexus !!!!

just joined gold membership learnt i can get 15% discount from my local Lexus dealer well pleased with that [dealer name removed - Rod]

If everyone that used fog lights when conditions are clear or drove while using a mobile phone had their car impounded and crushed then there'd be less cars on the road, and so less congestion for us lexus drivers what about if it was a lexus driver ? just impound and crush every bmw , much simpler

mine is a 2002 looks like another confusing question by the looks of past queries but i will take the advice and leave the wife inside so i have an audible warning !!!

my is 200 is the first car ive had that the alarm when set just flashes the indicators no noise ,no bleeps im never quite sure if i have locked it or not unless i study the lightsespecially in bright sun (mmm second thoughts forget the sun bit ) I would like just a little audible signal so i can turn my back on it is this possible ? another point does pressing the button twice deadlock it cause this dosent even flash !!

people will not give up their cars, for a dirty slow bus or train that dont go where they want ,they will just have to line a few more goverment pockets and pay up do they honestly think people are just driving into london for fun! any one not wanting to pay the charge will just skirt around the area thus making surrounding areas more congested ,so the next step will to widen the area untill which point?

is it just me or is the time on the forum page an hour slow no wonder i cant get up in the morning

~~alloy pedals ~~~ i know these are a sport standard item but are they available as an aftermarket product if so how much? and can they be fitted at home
