Unfortunately due to the overnight snow on Friday/Saturday, were I live, I had to cancel my appointment with Lex Newcastle and therefore cannot give any feed back at the moment. Im going to rearrange asap, but Im sure others on this site will have some opinions by then.

Extract taken from faq section - Q5 Is there anything else I should know about? A5 Nothing to be concerned about, although certain users may wish to note that you can use them with your vehicle's electronic aids left on, unlike snow chains which should NOT be used with traction control and anti skid devices (e.g. ESP / ASC+T / ASR / ABS). they are breathable so there's no adverse effect on brake cooling. it's recommended that users of rear wheel drive cars should also fit a set to the front wheels to provide better directional stability, especially under braking.

Just been in touch with Lexus Newcastle and they confirm that a fix has been developed by reprogramming ecu, to help fuel consumption etc. Booked in for Saturday morning, takes about 20mins. P.S. I dont know why 'Warn' comes up on my posts, neither do the moderators.

Leddy I dealt with Lexus Newcastle prior to Christmas they had a IS220D already registered with delivery mileage. Agreed a part ex deal over the phone subject to me testing the IS and they looking at PX. I travelled up to Newcastle and everything was ok, so the deal was completed and I collected the car the next week. I literally saved thousands against a new one and Lexus Newcastle where a thousand less than any other local Lexus dealer, who had the same type of car registered at roughly the same time. I was very happy to travel that distance for the deal that I got. I should have asked for delivery to home although I was unaware of this option.

Sorry but I have no further information other than what has already been posted.

Hi I have just purchased set of Silver Fox flaps in Argento Ice colour from Global Car Parts Direct. I did not purchase through ebay but directly at www.gcpdirect.com £60 delivered set of four. I was surprised at the paint finish very good, I thought that they may have had runs etc. Not fitted them yet, but dry fitted one front and back seemed to follow body shape ok, colour match is good as well. I hope this helps. Im new to this site and found it very helpful prior to buying IS 220D.
