Thanks Tony they are my favourite too! Wendle in the previous GS I had that button but its no longer there. Surely a software upgrade or downgrade should do the trick. How difficult can it be. I was swayed because the colour was white and interior was black as opposed to palladio Silver and grey Interior. Its a totally different looking car.

I exchanged my GS450h for the update edition/facelift version over the weekend. Upon getting into reverse for the first time to my shock the Rear Guide Assist was gone! The RGA in the previous version displays coloured grid lines that indicate the predicted path into the parking position. This was immensely useful since the GS is massive. I called the dealer and they said this feature was removed for 'some' cars but due to complaints Lexus started putting it back on. Unfortunately the feature cannot be added retrospectively. I find this surprising since I thought a quick software upgrade/downgrade would solve the issue. Has anyone faced the same issue/know any further information as to how and why? I am thinking of returning the car since I also sacrificed Adaptive Cruise Control and Sunroof.

Thank you all, I'll start saving for the new IS or GS I thinkthat'll take care of the problem

Sounds good, I think I can live with putting the key in and having a button. Thanks for the security tip, hadnt though about that!

Hi guys, I have a 03 IS200, anyone have an idea how much it'd cost me or whether its possible to have a Start Engine button instead of using the key? Thanks

Thanks guys, I had someone from Lexus agree to drive it for me and they said it was normal, its actually the ABS pheeeeeeeeeeeew

I get 390 out of a full tank and I have an auto, Im guessing thats really bad according to this post? I usually do 80 on cruise control. Should I be worried?

You are 204 miles away, not that bad, im scared to go back on the motorway though, i had these nasty vibrations from the steering wheel when braking and at certain speeds the last time. If I dont find anyone here or nearer IO might make the trip and leave it with you whilst sightseeing cos I've never been to Scotland

Does anyone know of reputable garages in or around Leeds???? I'll try Toyota as well. I guess I was a little naive, how could they do a service for £160 when the cheapest Lexus quote I got was £500 for a 6 year old Lex

Im getting an intermittent wheezing sound from the wheels when on inclines or declines, sometimes it just goes away and some times it stays until I apply light pressure to the brakes, anybody know what could be causing this? Im off to the mechanic tomorrow and I dont want to be blagged. i dont know how brakes are supposed to work but if I hit the brakes hard its like the pedal sinks and theres some sort of noise like im skidding. Coul this be related? Any help is greatly appreciated

theyve poss spilt oil on or around the engine! personally to me nationwide are tyre fitters and thats what they should stay!!the amount of people that come in to us and complain about them and their work is unreal! they give propper tecs(like me and i've seen their work) a bad name.sorry rant over. just give your engine a good look over and also check your exhaust... you might have ran over a bag which has melted. Im not one to usually put people in the street like that but i am frankly dissapointed in Nationwide, when you look on the website and their "Service Spec" it looks pretty impressive but after the service I felt no difference whatsoever, I am now saving up for a proper Lexus service nomatter how much it costs. I'll have a look in the morning

think you need a aircon service matey or at the very least a new polin filter! (air con service inc removal of old gas and oil replace with new gas and oil and anti bacteria foam put down all the vents) Thanks Im sorry I meant to say the funky smell started soon after the oil change?

Will this work for IS200 as well?

I've been having the same problem guys, how do you "rip" it out i.e. the head unit?

I had my oil recently changed at Nationwide, there is a funky/strange smell when using the fan/air con, is this normal?
