I concidered that as a cure, by folding the flap, but then thought that this would interfer with the air-re-curculation as air would be drawn in through the exit.

Hi Roger Thanks for the links. I problem I have is exactly the same problem you posted. The cabin generates air pressure or a buffetting noise and this is because (as I have tested it) the air release values (or one of them) is 'flapping' as the air exits the vehicle. These exits are located either from the boot or from under the corner of the rear bumper (one on either side). A bit tight to get to, but they are just in fingers reach. I tested this by moving the car to a quiet location (preferably a garage), switching on the ignition, turning the fan on lowest speed making sure the fan was set on air intake and not re-curculate, closing all doors and windows and standing outside of the car near the corners of the rear bumper. You can hear the plastic rectangular flap quite clearly flapping about. By sliding your hand up between the bumper and car body you car raise the valve and this clearly cures the fault. Thing is, how do you cure it permantly?

Anyone?

I posted the same question some time back and got nil response so, I managed to pick up a nifty touch-up stick from Halfords. It was the only silver they had so I couldn't be fusy about it being an exact match, but i've found it to be very good. the other good thing about this product is that you can make applications not only by brush, but for any small chips there's a special thin 'nib' that allows microscopic touch-ups! They call it 'colour pen & brush' and it has a code of 389460 or a barcode number of 5038 9469. Hope this helps!

Hi, I would like to know where i can find information regarding the interior air flow exit areas. I know that there are rectangular exits within the rear corner bumpers with a rubber opening flap and also air exits from the boot lid hinges when the boot is open. But I would like to know where I can find further information on this or a diagram or something. thanks

Hi I live in London and the water here is as hard as nails, but i've never had a problem in 20 years of washing the car, but then I do always leather off and NEVER use a garden hose to rinse off. I do it all by the bucket and hand, can't beat it!

Hi, I had DAB fitted as a dealer fit, when I picked mine up from new. I drive the car every day and do about 500 miles per week. At first I found DAB a bit confusing to work at first, but now I have got the hang of it I'm glad I had it fitted. There are several stations on DAB that aren't on the ordinary wavebands such as 'Chill' & 'Traffic Radio' that I enjoy. I think it's a easy install, there is a small stick-on antena that goes in the top left corner of the front windscreen and I guess the rest is just a software install. I find the sound quality better on DAB too compaired to FM.

Hi all Starting to get the odd stone chip on my IS250 F-Sport Alloys and was wondering what and where to get a touch-up stick from. There are soo many shades of silver and I want to get the right match. Anyone help???

I've had 3 new 'IS' lexus vehicles and have clocked-up 150,000 miles in total with these vehicles and have never had any issues with the auto dipping mirror, until now! You wouldn't experience being blinded as your system is working correctly!

My IS200 Sport & IS300 both had rear tinted glass and the auto dim mirrors worked perfectly, why doesn't it work on this car when the glass is hardly tinted?

yes it's turned on, i've turned it on and off to see if it made any difference.

I thought I'd bring this topic back from the archives! I've had from new, an IS200 Sport & a IS300 and the auto dimming mirrors (both interior and door mirrors) worked brilliantly. Now on my IS250 F-Sport, although I have the same function it doesn't appear to work! I've not had it checked out but from experience (the cars behind me that insist on illuminating the sky) the lights from cars behind have been blinding to the point that I have to drive leaning forward to avoid any contact with the mirror, not good! I've also noticed that on the IS200 & IS300, when the car was wet and you wound down a side window and then raised it up again the water on the glass didn't streak (the water dropplets remained untouched), however this feature has been lost on the IS250 so that the water now is smeared across the whole surface. I always thought this was a good feature on the IS200/300.

also looks like M3 aerial too!

Looks Great!

In my experience, having owned a IS200 Sport and a IS300, the best person that will help you is Tony Bones at Wheels In Motion. It's well worth the trip up there to get your IS200 sorted. Best if you let them put the tyres on too, fantastic machine they've got! Not only will they help with the tyre wear but it will totally transform the handling of your car, no more tramlining or nervousness at speed.

Anyone??????????

Any ideas? is there an easy way of setting this up so that the sat nav keeps me out of the congestion zone? Cheers

Had mine new since 1st March, not had any rattles and done 7000 miles so far. Lovely car :)

Thanks guys!

Thanks for your reply. I don't ever remember getting that edition, if I did I would have replied for sure. Would like to be on the mailing list again, wonder how I need to go about it?

Hi Haven't seen an edition for some time now. Has it finished, or am I no longer on the mailing list?

Was the Sat Nav directing you up that track? :winky:
