  1. Thanks I didn't realise that but makes sense that I've struggled to find one! Do you know what the differences are? Does the sport have sportier suspension, is the drive comfort the same? I wanted a newer se-l because I wanted to keep the little extras like cooling seats, electric steering column, rear blind etc.
  2. I'm looking for a 2012 is250 se-l with a sunroof. Not a high mileage one. If anyone has one of knows of one please let me know. Thank you.
  3. Update for anyone interested.. The alternator had failed causing the elec fault. The garage said the fuselink didn't blow because it had a poor elec repair previously and was wired incorrectly so it blew before the fuselink saving me having to replace. I had already purchased one including the fusebox and relays/fuses for £30. I still have this if anyone needs it. Refurbished alternator fitted with 1 year guarantee for £170. £20 to repair the botch job on the fuselink. The alternator/starter motor specialist I used.. https://www.facebook.com/Younas-Mobile-Auto-Electrician-starters-and-alternators-238630260036676/ The Lexus breaker I used said he is breaking a few is220d. I thought his price was very cheap as someone else quoted me £100 plus vat just for the fuselink. https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-replacement-parts/lexus-is220d-breaking-/1426616016
  4. Definitely not connected the battery wrong way around, not been touched for a while. Did I mention the only fuse the AA found blown was for the instrument panel. Should I still check the 150amp or 60amp fuses or any others? AA guy did mention risk of fire etc and that he couldn't leave it bypassed but would follow me home... Being helpful or saving time not having to tow me? Thanks for the reply and suggestion!
  5. I've been looking, no luck yet but I'll continue to look. My guess so far the alternator failed causing the fusible link to go.. anyone know if this is possible? Thanks for the reply and suggestion of the hefty fuse I didn't think of that if I need to move it to a garage.. any suggestion of what size/type of fuse please?
  6. Lol I should have mentioned he didn't leave it like that as a fix but said he ran out of time and looked like he was trying hard! Does anyone know how long they have to work on a car before giving up? Thanks for the reply!
  7. I should have mentioned I only drove it a short while to get back home and not since but I was going to drive it if I needed to get it to a local garage (if I can find a knowledgeable trust worthy one!). You think I shouldn't risk starting it even? The alternator isn't connected. Thanks for your reply!
  8. I should have explained he did it to help diagnose the issue but said he ran out of time in trying to find out why there was no power going to the fuse board. Also he got the car started he realised the alternator wasn't charging so he disconnected that. I was very close to home so he left it pybassed until I got it back and he removed it. Thanks for your reply!
  9. Would I be able to see the damage if the fusible link is faulty, like it is blown? Also as the AA mechanic said the alternator wasn't charging I wasn't sure which to tackle first. If I change the fusible link would it blow again if the alternator was the cause? Thanks for your reply and the part number!
  10. 2005 is250 while parked and the car running everything cut off suddenly. No dash lights, ignition, horn etc. AA mechanic said power isn't going from the battery to the fuse board. To start the car he had to connect a live driect from the battery (see attached photo). This is the report from the AA: Vehicle has lost power to fuse board suspect bad conection under engine bay fuse box got vehicle started and followed customer to home adress found alternator not charging advised customer that vehicle needs garage inspection why the alternator isnt charging battery and to inspect fuse box/live wires Engine Oil Level Ok. Coolant Level Ok. I had a mechanic tell me "It has a a fuse built in the fuse box which goes, you have to replace it or bypass it with a fuse in it." But he hasn't got back to me again. Has anyone experienced this before or recommed a reliable mechanic/auto electrician in Birmingham please? Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  11. Urgent need of a Centre Section Exhaust for 2006 is250 Thanks
  12. Hello My is250 calipers have seized and I'm looking to contact Lexus, can you tell me what year your car is and which dealership you went to? Thank you

Hello I came across this post about a direct injection lpg conversion using a Prins system... http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=54835 Does anyone know who the installer was or did anyone take up the offer?
