  1. no need to worry untill mot! if error codes come up again when mot it will fail mot test!
  2. could be sticking calipers, same noise on mine and getting front and rear caliper overhaul new slide pins as were seized, could be the salt on the roads during winter causing the parts to rust.
  3. hi guys! you may try find if any were in uk does this service it may help!
  4. hey! have a look on this site for carbon build up removal they can do in america, is there anyplace in uk that can perform this service?http://www.vimeo.com/3989681
  5. hi! your problems sound very similar to what i had on my car,but it started to want feel as if it was going to stall at every junction i stopped at, it did stall once about 2 month ago, it was late about 11pm and cold about to pull out of junction the car stalled,the engine light came on. luckly it started first time and got home. called lexus dealer and they said no issue or problem, so looked on club lexus american site and some guys the have used this bg44k and were saying how good it was,locked on audi,ford and other forums were its been used and these problems issues that they had disapeared after use. on the offical bg44k website they say this product was produced with the help of audi in germany for there audi rs4 because of alot of carbon build up. i tried 1 can on my lexus and a can of bg244 for my dads bmw525d and what a difference it made, both engines are much smoother,responsive a no more as if about to stall.now after 2000 miles of use performance has not tailed off and mpg is about 3 mpg better than before use.ps started to use vpower instead of normal unleaded,less ethanol in vpower which is the cause of carbon build up,only down side is the stuff is £20 a can but only need to use every 10000miles. hope this is of some help. mike
  6. my is250se was regestered on 24th December 2005 and is on the list for recall! mike.
  7. hi guys! theres another recall for is250, this time its for the brake master cylinder. if you go onto lexus uk web site, http://www.lexus.co.uk/about/news-and-events/2010/brake-master-cylinder-and-fuel-pump-recall.aspx type in your vin number to check if your car is needed for recall. mike
  8. try a can of bg44k from www.powerenhancer.co.uk. i had the same problem,i used this stuff and after about 150miles it cleaned the carbon build up on the pistons,injectors,combustion chamber and 02 sensers. very simple to use just pour can into petrol tank and fill up full with petrol. for diesel its bg244.now the engine feels like new wheni bought it more than 4 years ago, more responsive and smoother, no more flat spots and getting 3-4 more miles per gallon. hope this is of some use for you.ps in america most lexus audi vw dealers use this stuff after service but don't know why they not use here! maybe because they can make more money repairing your car when it breaksdown. mike chan
  9. hi all! for my 4 year old 70k miles is250 auto i used bg44k i bought from www.powerenhancer.co.uk. my car use to shake when i stopped at junctions and on one occasion it stalled,i did a bit of research on the american side and found they use this stuff at lexus,audi,vw dealers. after each service the dealers put can of bg44k for petrol or bg244 for diesel in to petrol tank. i used about 3 weeks ago and found the engine was smoother and more responsive and no more flat spots, it does not shake anymore,the revs use to drop to 400 and back up to 700 when stop, does not do it anymore. i tried bg244 on my dads bmw525d with the same results.i am getting between 3-4 miles more per gallon than before with same style of driving.i have had the car since new and the engine now feels like new.hope this information is of some use to you guys that have still got problems with carbon build up. mike chan
