    I hardly see any on my travels

    I have 18" wheels for summer with 225 front and 245 rear I bought 17" wheels last year and put on winter tyres, 225 all round I will swap over from November to March The main reason is to be able to safely use the car in all weather and get out of the way when folks are using summer tyres in sub zero temperatures

    The early 250C has known rattle problems in the roof. My 2009 250C was bought from Lexus Guildford and they replaced part of the roof mechanism with a fix kit after complaining about rattles. This together with strategically placed felt tape has removed all rattles for me.

    I have just come from a BMW (albeit a Z4) to an ISC A key point for all marques with road noise is tyre choice - the same with BMs, particularly the runflats are terrible over pot holes etc I am waiting for my Bridgestones to wear down so that I replace them - probably with Goodyear F1 asyms The biggest difference is the amount of noise on BMW forums about the many problems folks have with them and poor build quality for circa 1 in 5 new Z4s, the poor paint, rubbish dealers etc etc I worry much less with a Lexus than a BMW

    The What Car photographer came by today and took some photos for the magazine. It is to coincide with JD Powers results, when they are available. Apologies in advance for any cheesy photos that appear in the magazine.

    I had a BMW Z4 before the ISC Z4s are quite common Since getting mine in April, I have only seen one other ISC on the road How many are actually out there that use this forum? I have folks with Porsche etc coming over to chat about the ISC, do you? I wonder if the rarity value is the same in other countries? Martin

    I have taken off the original wheels on my ISC and do not know which wheel can from which corner I am have 2 wheels refurbed and so I can get the numbers on the tyre valves The question is, can I tell which corner they are from via the cars computer or is this info only available to the Lexus garage via their systems? If I can align these two wheels then the remaining two are easy to align through a process of trial. Thanks

    So I took my car to Lexus and they explained about the electronic sensors in the wheel valves My winter wheels have normal valves and the car identifies an issue, hence light on Lexus also said that the valve sensors may be set for individual corners so put the wheels back on where they came off. I said that I have no idea about which wheel came from which corner, to which they replied that the car may reset itself when the normal wheels are back on again. Thoughts?

    I have a few scuff marks on my drivers seat from getting in and out Has anyone used any leather restore product on these beige / white seats? I have used sliptone liquid leather in the past, but they do not seem to have this 'mellow white' on their list of colours Any ideas?

    My local ATS will swap summer for winter wheels for £5 per corner and top up the nitrogen at the same time. Is this a reasonable deal or should I look elsewhere?
  14. m44rrt
    Sorry - that is WINTER wheels

    Frost on the car today. Starting to think about swapping my wheels from summer to winter When are you planning to swap???

    Perhaps he had an SE-L I wouldnt go to 16 because of brake calipers etc 16s would be probably OK on my ISC but more of an issue for an F

    I bought my 17s after watching ebay for about 4 weeks I paid about £300 for new 'standard' alloys that had been garaged for a few years. The owner immediately went to 18s when the car was new I was tempted to buy cheap non lexus alloys from wolfrace for about the same money Good luck

    Lexus Guildford use Wicked Wheels. 12-13 Enterprise Units, Moorfield Rd, Slyfield Ind Est, Guildford Telephone: 01483 302227 They refurbed my ISC wheels prior to my pick-up I went for standard Lexus silver rather than the dark smoke standard finish I am not a fan of dark / black wheels

    I store my summer tyres outside with the following points from my local tyre centre: - Take off the value covers if metal - Store tyres side by side (not on top of each other) on a piece of wood so that they are not in direct contact with frozen concrete - Use nitrogen to ensure better residual air content over winter Also I cover them with a tarp to keep the worst of the weather off Any other suggestions???

    I have winter tyres for my RX300 and ISC This is mainly to get out of the way of idiots (not Lexus owners, I might add) who go too fast on normal tyres in the winter :o

    I have the same issue But I do not understand the solution Simple to use just set the AC to full cool, open all the vents,start the engine ----- and let the thing off sat on the rear part of the transmission tunnel ( once you depress the spout it locks down) leave it to completely empty ????? ---- then open all the doors for a minute to vent. Job done. Help Martin

    Lexus Guildford had the car for two days They carried out component changes based on a Lexus technical bulletin It took 10 hours to replace the various components Result: marginal improvement at first drive I will live with it for a while then take a view on whether or not to drop it back to them

    I have just sold my BMW Z4 If you look at the BMW forums (z4-forum etc) there are so many potential problems with them that you are just waiting for yours to pick up one of the problems What do you have to do to get a reliable car these days???

    The ISC goes into Lexus Guildford to try and fix the roof rattle when going over bumps. Fingers crossed.
