  1. Hi Graham, Could you please check the coolant level, colour and odour and report back. If you see coolant residue on the radiator and around the fan or around the cap, let us know. Good luck Hi Flavio, Coolant was a little lower than it should have been I'm embarrassed to admit. Difficult to say if there's any colour, however it smells a bit burn rubberish (for want of a better nose) and did dry to leave small dark particles on my hand.... appreciate your thoughts. G..
  2. Hi All, looks like I've just joined this exclusive "check vsc", engine management & traction/esp warning light club, with a dodgy temperature reading thrown in. is220d, 2007, 70Kmiles - largely urban mileage in recent years, wifeys car, I've just started using it on my 90 mile round trip to work to keep the escalating mileage on my car down 1 week ago, check vsc, engine & traction control lights came on on motorway. pulled in shortly after as I noted the temp had entered the red! a quick phone assisted google and wife relayed the story of same warning attended by AA, advice was run it a 3000rpm. Did this, temp dropped and when I got home and restarted it, the warnings had cleared. (I knew the temp warning was phoney, as restarting the car 2 mins after stopping the temp reading was normal(ish) so quicker than the block would cool.) 2 days normality followed. Then it re-occurred on my 90 mile round trip to work. got home and borrowed a reader. OBD codes read and cleared P0400 Exhaust Gas Recalculation Flow P0117 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input (above according to google) After clearing the car was fine for a few weekend urban short trips. Back on the motorway this morning and returned. Interested in your thoughts and feedback. thinking at the moment would be to decoke the EGR (as per the video on page 1) and add some Diesel Fuel system cleaner to the mix....
  3. You cannot reprogramme second hand remotes for these cars :( Andy I can second that, the wifes is220d has one fob. So I purchased one of fleabay, it was advertised in new condition and with a blank key (paid £30). The chip was thought to blank/unprogrammed, unfortunately not the case. I've taken it to a few programmers, including a contact in Toyota and a very good indie programmer and two lexus dealerships. Toyota -- too afraid to try incase they lost it altogether former Lexus dealer (Arnold Clark Glasgow) - no help, not interested to try unless I was buying the fob from them new Lexus dealer - not sure, need to see they're programmer who's on holiday and turned out to be the indie that I contact on a recommendation from a friend. Indie - can't remove the old programming to pair with the car/key. would like another, but £280... but need to do something in case the wife ends up with the £2.5K ECU bill (although she drove he last car with 1 key for 8 years)
  4. Hi Delta/Jay, did this work out? I've also picked a key up from ebay for a 2007 IS220D, but my local dealer got all snooty about programming it because of its source. Would it matter if the key had been used previously on another car? thanks in advance IS220d SE-L
  5. found the site on google, whilst checking some facts when buying my first lexus, an is220d thanks to the site and those involved
