Hear, hear......!! A totally different drive, super smooth and feels more assured on the road.

It very much depends on the insurance company. I work with a variety of them on a daily basis and each have different protocols. Yes, it may invalidate any claim if you have told lies and if so, you may find another insurance company won't touch you with a bargepole. On the other hand, if you had a claim, you could find that the insurnace company would just reduce the amount they would be willing to pay out. For example, if your vehicle did not have a valid MOT they may reduce their payout by say 10 or 20%. Suffice to say that any future premiums would skyrocket, cause you are a liar. The police would not be involved, its a civil issue, unless it is part of a large fraudulent scheme. Insurance companies work in mysterious ways - contrary to common belief, they will payout on almost anything.

Another fine addition, to the LOC's finest car.....nearly

You MUST MUST MUST tell your car insurance company - it is your responsibility to have proper care and control of your keys at all times, no excuses. It will be in their interests to foot the bill for anew set.

Mmmm, the S2000 is a performance masterpiece, I think the driver was, er, patronising you a little. The IS would get nowhere near it.

Sport Pack ? No it doesn't ............ there is no Sport logos in mine mate ? You do get what you said above ^ ..... plus you get the rear boot spoiler that has the brake light ! Get an IS300 ........... you know you want to :D ← Mine does mate - maybe it's only the later models that have it If I'm correct the IS3 was given a facelift in Oct/Nov 2003 ← Yep, mines a Sport too....... Probably onl;y applies to those with the Styling Kit pack from the factory - maybe

You are not allowed 'white to the rear' or 'red to the front' - thats it full stop. There is nothing in the Road Traffic Act that prevents any other colour from being displayed. Blue is only illegal for rotating beacons or any other light intended to resemble an emergency warning beacon. Many taxi companies here use blue lit signs on the roof of their cars and there is nothing we can do about it. Dont' let any police officer tell you different - its a common misconception.

Don't use it then. The car can drive quite differently with power mode on or off. ← Give me a second, while I reattach my nose to my face........ Ok, I am big enough to admit I got it wrong. Having never used the Power mode button in six months, I've been trying it out. I agree with Scarface though - I prefer it in manual mode, theres definitely more bite in the gear change and seems much more responsive. It would appear that I am only now getting about 20mpg instead of the usual 26. Cheers.

Lexus tell told me the problem was with the front nearside, because there was no form of air circulation behind the unit, it heated up and caused condensation. The offside isnt the same and it only happens after I have washed the car. It better get replaced or else........ :tsktsk:

How much for the polisher Mike?

Reset ur ECU .......... take it for a blast, in manual .............. come back ....... then say that ;) ← Why would resetting ECU make any difference?? please explain....

After washing my car the other day, I noticed that my front offside headlight was soaked inside with condensation. On my old IS the front nearside had problems with condensation and there have been many threads on this before, and Lexus excuses for it happening. But the offside was never a problem. I shall be ensuring it is replaced by Lexus under warrantly as for some reason its letting in water. Cant believe it. Anyone else had probs with the offside headlight??

Seems a waste of time to me.

I am sure I asked this question before, but cant find the thread... Power mode - IS300, whats it all about I have never really used it, in fact just remembered about it the other day Wondering how it works I am told that all it does is hold onto the revs a little longer before moving up a gear So I take it that it offers no sharper throttle response about town, and is only good if you intend to do 100mph+ on the motorway. I dont get it I assume it is detrimental to fuel mpg, if I leave it on constantly??

"THATS PANTS!!!!" for the MOT you need "side/dip / main and in the UK a osr "red" fog light....Think about it why! do we have "front" main beam. ← Er, VOSA set the standards not me............ Besides, I've thought about it - whats your point on the main beam??

Mmmm, I like manual mode - does anyone use the POWER facility on their auto - do you notice much difference??? Welcome, fellow 300 buyer - i feel the tide is beginning to turn

...better late than never eh? my IS300 is going into Nottingham on wednesday for this to be done... so probably a good idea to give your local dealer a nudge if you're waiting for this to be done too :) ← Yeah, Still waiting on mine!! How long does it take to order a batch of bumpers?? There aren't that many of us surely ← I was waiting on mine to be done since July 2003 I should get in touch with the dealer but my car was in a crash the other week..... Damn and blast............ ← I have, but its not their fault - Lexus GB are building up supplies first !!

I went all the way to Iraq and all I came back with was this horrific T-shirt.......

Congrats, but don't waste your money on a new alarm system, Lexus is as good as youre going to get. Doesnt matter what you put on your car, if someone wants your ICE they'll have it. I have had no reports ever of a Lexus being broken into in our area. I find that all round tints are an excellent crime prevention measure.

Is this not corruption??? :P

Ha! So I was right! :D :D :D ← I knew you were, thousands didn't.....

I have taken some advice from VOSA on this matter If you have front fogs and they are CONNECTED they must work for an MOT If they do not work DISCONNECT them and they will pass. From the horses mouth.......

Stratchcarron is slightly lighter shade, as if it had more metallic flakes in it - it looks better and sportier.......
