Thanks very much, worked a treat, don't know how you found it, but much appreciated.

it is not a problem to adjust: http://www.infoarena.com/lexus/headlights/ Thanks for info, do you happen to know is this for HID headlamps or just the Halogen ones?

Hi Just had car returned from repairers after insurance job. I have the HID headlamps with I-AFS. Not had the car long before the accident, (not my fault), but, I seem to remember one continuous distinct line of light on dip with no sign of individual lights. Which could account for the fact that cannot buy kit to change to continental driving, as they do not dip to either side. But now I can see both headlights on the road, if you know what I mean, and the line of light is still distinct, but higher on the left with a drop to the centre and right. If this is incorrect, does anyone know if easy to adjust as I live about an hours drive from the nearest dealership, and also the repairers garage? The lights still "go round corners".

Will post when I get my car back!! They said something about a known issue and the Lexus notified fix was to change the suspension bushes???

Hi people, had my Lexus about six weeks now, ex-demo red 220D Sport with MM, most impressed but had the seemingly normal dashboard rattle. Agree with Jamboo, it does appear to be temperature related. Also I felt I had a slight, intermittent wander to the left so I booked it into my closest dealership at Wolverhampton, (NOT purchased from there) and they gave me a new 250 auto for the day. I also mentioned the rattle and slight vibration on the mirror. They phoned later that day and asked to keep the car for a second day, I had no problem with that. When I picked it up, they had laser checked the tracking and found no fault, also, they had removed the dash and re-padded because "we don't do rattles in our cars". Most impressed, but it gets better, they had done the approved fix on the suspension bush for the mirror, and, because they don't want a failure in the future for me, they had changed the fifth injector and re-mapped everything, without me even reporting a fault! Unfortunately not had much of a test yet, on way home along A5 at seventyish in outside lane, the nice VW Passat ahead of me decided to disintegrate one of its rear brake discs and I couldn't avoid all of the debris. Nice big hole in front right corner of bumper, that side lights and indicators not working and AFS warning flashing. (Loads of electric junction boxes down there!). I phoned Lexus assist and they were most helpful, even though I wasn't insured through them, they were authorised to phone three dealers to get me a loaner and book me in, they will also recover all costs from the other driver, who admitted liability. My point is that my own insurance covers their repairers and the normal, basic courtesy car, NOT a Lexus. My impression of Lexus service improved even more when, coincidentaly, Lexus Wolverhampton phoned to check my satisfaction with their work the previous day and I told them the story. Even before Lexus Assist had managed, Lexus Wolverhampton had arranged a Lexus 250 auto with MM (cos it was on mine) through Accident Exchange and my car had been booked into the Lexus approved repairer (Prestige Vehicle Repair). All costs will be from the third party, not from mine to be reclaimed later, obviously my insurers are more than happy with this, they said "ah, Lexus handling it, lucky you, we have dealt with them before, they are excellent." Sorry for this to be so long winded, just thought I would give some praise for a change, especially when I didn't even buy the car from this dealership, this is why I bought into the Lexus brand.

Hi, peeps, just thought I'd let you know, got a good deal today, Mesa red 220 D Sport with sat nav, low miles, ex-demo, looking forward to getting it on the road. Thanks for all your advice

good point, well made

May I ask why you say forget the diesel, I see you have one?

For me it was a no brainer - I wanted an automatic so my choice was made up for me. I would have liked the Diesel but they didn't do an auto. As for which to choose, it really is down to what you personally want, if its not that much of an issue write all three down on a piece of paper and stick a pin in it! Seriously which ever you choose I don't think you will be disappointed, they are all great cars. Thanks, sounds good!

Hi, I am looking to buy a Lexus IS, my budget, with my trade in is between £23000 and £24000. I reckon that should be good for up to a year old, less than 15000 miles with sat nav. However, after reading various reports, I cannot decide between the Diesel Sport (different gearing), and the petrol SE-L or Sport, don't care which, all three have all the toys I'm after. Would appreciate any guidance, I'm just going round in circles. Don't really want to go to a dealer, as my present dealer (Jaguar) will source the car for me and give me a better trade in. Thanks
