I would have assumed that was the case but just to be sure, and to make sure I didn't give you false information, I did some digging on the net and found some info to confirm your theory. This website, LINKY has the following statement: '...It depends on the model year and type of engine. On most four and straight six cylinder engines, there is usually a single oxygen sensor mounted in the exhaust manifold. On V6, V8 and V10 engines, there are usually two oxygen sensors, one in each exhaust manifold. This allows the computer to monitor the air/fuel mixture from each bank of cylinders.' So that confirms that the first 3 cylinders would indeed be classed as bank 1.

Matt, I had the exact fault come up on my 2003 Corolla (Pre IS250) and the Totyota dealer was happy to clear it but said that it would most likely come back as it showed the cat was 'on it's way out.' (Just for info they gave me a quote for around £1200 to have a new one fitted!!) After having it cleared I was happily driving away, but then after about 100 miles or so the Engine Management Light returned. So I had it checked to see what the fault was this time and it was indeed the same Cat efficiency fault. My point is, even though you have had it reset it may still return. I thought of two things when the light came on: * If the fault is detecting a discrepancy between the pre and post cat sensor, how do they know it isn't the sensors that are faulty as opposed to the catalyst itself (Obviously they may want to assume worst case so they get the most of you) * Secondly, my fault apeared quite soon after I had my M.O.T. done. I thought, if the cat was on the way out then the emissions test must have been close to failing. Checked it and it had passed with flying colours. After having the light reset a second time I'd sold the car to purchase the IS250 I have now, so I can't say how it's acting now. Just beacuse the light comes on though, I don't like the fact that they suggest replacing the whole cat straight away, when it's possible it may be a faulty sensor. (I design the equivalent of cat converters for aircraft for a living so I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about!) Hope that helps mate :)

Hi Guys, Read this thread a while back as I’ve recently purchased an IS250 which had badly discoloured chrome tips on the exhaust. Just goes to show the value of this forum as I’d never heard of Autosol until I came on here! Thought I’d share pics of my results as that’s what this thread seemed to be lacking… BEFORE: Seriously caked in crud and quite badly discoloured. Went to work on it first with a Brillo Pad and then liberally applied the Autosol and buffed it to a shine. Never thought it’d end up looking like this though… AFTER: I think it’s fair to say the results speak for themselves! :D Brilliant purchase and for a fiver from Halfords, well worth it. Only had to use a small amount as well, so should last a while.

Hello All, I'm a newbie to the forum and this is my first post - hopefully it can solve an issue which seems to be troubling many of us Lexus / Blackberry owners! I have a Blackberry Bold and for the life of me, couldn't get it to send contacts to the car using Bluetooth. Having done a bit of research I was shocked to find out that this feature isn't actually available on the Bold. However, did some more digging and found this app which has a 7-Day free trial period: http://www.berryreview.com/2009/04/08/bbca...-other-devices/ (Click the link at the top of the page to d'load it) It's called bbcard and it's so simple - all it does is when the blackberry menu button is pressed when a contact in your address book is highlighted it should now include a 'send using Bluetooth' option which has never appeared previously. I installed it by having the link sent to my phone via my e-mail account (didn't feel comfortable giving my mobile number to some U.S. site) and it's installed fine. Haven't tried it with the car yet but I'm sure it will work - if there are any issues I shall update everyone. Out of interest it's about $5 to purchase after 7 days but I shall be using it for the trial period, as I only need it to send the contacts to the car. Hope this helps :D
