Unless it's Lexus & Toyota dealership like my local one (two separate showrooms side by side, but share the parts counter & workshops too when needed). You're unlikely to get your IS250 serviced at Toyota. Toyota UK never had any cars with this engine etc. IS300h for example is essentially a smaller Camry and RAV4 uses the same engine too, blahblah. Bottom line, they have parts and they're cross-compatible. IS250 was solely a Lexus car built on a Toyota Mark X platform but that's Japanese model only, so again, Toyota UK is highly unlikely to service this particular car because they probably wouldn't have parts.

Hence they said they dont have the facilties to source 6.5 litres of engine oil and a filter lol

 Lexus is the luxury arm of Toyota and they obviously want to keep Lexus cars serviced by Lexus dealers. Probably makes sense to them to keep them separate.

Thats whats known as pure snobbery

I would be surprised if that was the case, quick bit of detective work on google shows what looks like a well equipped Toyota workshop.

your missing the point. i think my asumption is they farm them out to a back street garage for servicing is correct

I used to have My RX serviced at a local Toyota dealer 10 miles away rather than travel to the Lexus dealer 100 miles away. However when I tried to get my NX serviced just over a year ago they told me they could no longer do it as it was no longer Lexus policy

But a lexus is a Toyota

Try not to laugh but i phoned toyota southampton/millbrooke branch to book a lexus in for a service and was told by the dealership the dont have the facilties to do it.

How do they service vechicles if they have,nt the facilties or do they farm them out to a back street garage for servicing ?

@normski2 Thank you 👍

Sorry to hear that...

Regarding Insurance - don't forget windscreen cover still counts as claim on your insurance, so it is worth doing some math to see if it is worth claiming it from insurance or just paying for it upfront. 

i wont effect your insurance if you have protected no claims

there actually on the left hand side of the Battery cover/casing . my mistake .

how do you seperate the 2 cables running up the right side of the Battery before i resort to cutting them and rejoining them lol. tia 🙂

i would,nt worry too much as long as there not reading above or below  +-10

All MAFS have scrawny pieces of wire gji. I hope you're not belittling Ford. One thing my Focus wipes the floor with the is250 is taking the headlight out. 2 screws and out it pops. No need to faff about undoing the bumper and removing part of the wheel well trim. Sheesh that was a job and a half. 

Not at all mr vlad. i have owned many a ford. my favourite was a 1600e mk2 cortina

Isn't it amazing how a scrawny piece of wire, basically that's what a MAF is made of, can affect a car.

is that what Ford use ?

Hi folks,

Said I'd make a post here regarding the IS250 MAF sensor. I've owned my 07 IS250 Sport since September last year. I've always found the gear changes quite juttery with lots of rev hang, poor throttle response pulling away, jerky at low speeds in traffic. Read lots of topics from the US mainly on the manual gearbox/drivetrain in these cars and attributed the cars characteristics to the design.

A few weeks ago I started getting intermittent faults for rich condition on both banks. Did some troubleshooting and seen fuel trims were sky high trying to lean the mix out. Given it was both banks showing rich, it was safe to say it was a calibration issue with the MAF sensor. I've had cars with faulty MAF sensors before but none had such an impact on the cars running after being replaced. Power delivery is much smoother, gear changes are no longer jerky and there's no juttering pulling away or at low speeds.

Hopefully this may be of some help to someone experiencing similar issues. I had the car on diagnostics before the MAF started giving issues and fuel trims were all perfect and no indicator a faulty sensor at all. I'd say if you're IS250 is decent age like mine with a few miles on it, its definitely worth replacing the MAF. I'd never have even thought about it only for it did eventually fault out.

Dan.

Had exactly the same effect when i changed my maf sensor and air filter for a new one. Car seems alot smoother when changing gear and no lag on the throttle.

why is it always the pain in the ( / ) drivers side that always goes and not the easier passenger side lol 😃 . unless you have hands the size of a five year old its  worth taking the time to remove the airbox and maf sensor to make it easier imo

if you have a mark levison system in your vechical then it will have a built in hard drive to store you mp3 files on

electric vechicals are just a fad. just like skateboards were in there time. they will just fade away

its not anything to do with the lock switch on the auto gear shift panel by any chance is it ?

its above the letter P next to the gear shift
