i had same problem on my is 220d 07 plate. it had recently ran out of warranty. i was driving back to notts from cardiff when the vsc ight came on and was followed by the car going into limp mode. i was on the motorway so couldnt really continue as it was dangerous. managed to get off at next junction, phoned the AA they couldnt sort it so called out a pick up. they advised not to drive it. lexus arranged a courtesy car the next day through the AA (Top spec Merc) they rang me 2 days later and told me they had put a new cat on and changed the ecu no charge i didnt even need to ask. fantastic service yet again from Lexus Nottingham (thanks Louise)_which i why i have had 3 lexus models from them in the past 5 years and will continue to use them.....

Hi jbanfie yes i do have a small child, but i think it was probably me as my keys are usualy in my pocket. thank you very much for your help.

Hi All not sure if this has been asked before so here goes. my rx350 has developed a mind of its own, for the past 3 weeks i have been getting up in the morning to find all the electric windows down and the sunroof open. no problem until today when it p**sed it down and soaked inside. does anyone know why the windows and sunroof do this by themselves? any help would be appreciated.

lexus and toyoya dealerships in nottingham are adjacent to each other and the technicians seem work in the same garage, are they the same technicians?

cooooooooooool :zee:

A D3 is A BMW Alpina. I test drove one before I bought my IS250 SE and I have to say it was superb to drive but as usual with beamers you don't get all the toys. The D3 Alpina styling is fab in my opinion and so is the drive but as the lexus dealers said the BMW is no longer as exclusive a club as it used to be. what put me off buying one as well, the bmw dealer said you can't specify extras on the D3 either. hey ho each to his own.

white oops missed it............ brake

me too :D

would like to know this myself jsm. especially the speed camera thing if it can be done on a tom tom then surely it can be done here. have you used the voice command for the phone whilst driving "what a pain in the a**e". one command to phone whoever would be much better.

Thanks for the welcome guys Look forward to seeing a few peeps at a meet in the near future.

Hi Tango Thought I was getting my head round this but not so sure now :duh: I looked at your settings and thought I would email Vemiri to check and they sent me this email back. Hello Glen, I have been checking the widths on this vehicle and as I already thought the maximum you can go on 19” is 8.5 and no more and therefore the 9.5 x 19” will not work on this vehicle. The offset is quiet surprising to the old one because, the old IS200 would list and offset of 35-45, but the new IS250 list anything from offset 30-40, I guess it’s because of the bigger arches it has compared to the old IS200 which has quiet narrow arches. So to fit the Vemiri Peralae wheel will not be a problem at all. If you do decide to go for them, if it’s not too much trouble would it be possible to send some photos? Any way I will leave this with you and let you decide what you would like to do. And then I emailed Performance alloys and they replied: Hi Thank you for your enquiry. No problem! We can do 8x19 et35 and 9.5x19 et42 MORE CONFUSED NOW Your set up works! which one of these experts should I listen to, main supplier, who is much cheaper or performance alloys. whoever said pimpin aint easy was dead right.

Thanks Vemgi If that'll work then great. sorry don't know a deal about wheels.

Thanks Tango Yes I was proposing to put 19 x 8 on all round but won't after reading your info. Thats p**sed on my bonfire mate Vemiri's are only available in 19 x 8 19 x 9.5 and 19 x 11. Back to the drawing board I suppose Thanks for the info Tango very helpful.

Hi all looking for some help/ advice for fitting alloys to my IS 250. I have been looking for some aftermarket alloys and have finally settled on some vemiri peralae http://www.vemiri.com/home.php. I was just wondering, will the 19 x 8 rims be ok? and I was thinking of putting 245 35 19 on the rear and 225 35 19 on the front. Also if and when I have done this, would it be wise to get the geometry checked out by WIM? Thanks G

Hi Aido yes I did go to Tintr, Richard has done 3 cars for me in the past and always done a great job, was a difficult job for rear screen but he managed it in the end. I will look out for some meets, I see there is one in Stafford on the 10th but i'm on my hols so maybe next time. Ultrajap is new to me just had a quick look, looks ok. lots for me to pick up and learn on here. thanks mate
