That's insane - there's got to be something wrong with your engine. I'm averaging 33mpg and that's with the petrol engine. I thought the same. The car has been serviced every 10K, the last being in February. I would have thought if there was something wrong, it would have been picked up then, don't you think? Fuelly is a really good way to keep tabs on your mpg (click my mpg fuelly avatar to go there) - or road trip lite on iphone free app Just spoke to my local Lexus dealership (Swindon) who said I should be getting around the mid - late 30's. Informed me to take car in and they would run a diagnostics on the car......all for £60. 60 bleedin pound to plug a cable in and run a bit of software on a laptop.........robbing bar stewards!!!

Average 33 MPG combined......i'd be happy with that. I getting 27.3 on my 06 220D with 40k on the clock!!!! Great news by the way.

I managed to get a 2007/8 disc off of ebay for £10. Not the newest version but still 2 years newer than what I had.

I have an 06 220D and my iPhone 4 works fine withe the Bluetooth.

I looked at these - they do seem to have good reviews. The price wasnt that much difference per year when I had added all the extras on to warranty direct so decided to go with Lexus - at £600 a year and so far no quibles. Had a drip appear on the pipe of the water pump, whole water pump replaced including fluids etc, flickering headlight 2 x complete headlight units replaced. There was no delay, it was just done completely FOC and valeted. Lexus currently charge £760 (12 months) or £1335 (24 months)for the extended warranty on the IS. If I remember rightly, Warranty Direct was around £500 for the same level of cover. You also have the option of a Lexus garage to carry out any work, for a few quid more. I also dont need the breakdown cover, as I get this as a perk, through my company.

The Lexus Extended Warranty is purchased from Lexus to cover you for electrical and mechanical failures etc. It isnt cheap mind, I paid £1200 for 2 years cover which includes full AA cover for the period but I have to say it's been worth it. Both headlight units replaced and water pump due to a leak - would have cost me over £2K! Back to this point tho, there are some "extended" warranty parts covered by Lexus in response to a lot of failures. When I was last in Lexus they were suggesting the EGR valve was about to get an extended warranty up to 100,000 miles and as the note says previously, I believe they have extended cover for the head gasket / engine rebuild but dont hold me to that! This is normally regardless of age if your within the mileage limitations. £1200, I'll stick to Warranty Direct I think :-)

does this extended warranty cover all lexus owners, and if so, what is the criteria?

But did the disc work? Their website does state they are copies and that you only receive 1 disc.

The secret touch??? :winky:

I dont think so, really seems to be coming from the passenger side, under car. P.S. How on earth are you getting 41.9 MPG?

Every time I go over a bump, no matter how big or small, I get a knocking sound (sound like it's coming from passenger side front wheel area). Took car to local garage. Mechanic took it out on a road test and could also hear the knocking so put the car up on the ramps, but after 30 minutes, could't find a thing (all free of charge). Spoke to Lexus who said they could also do a road test but would charge 51 sheets to take a look on the ramps!! 2 questions, has anybody else experienced this knocking (it is Intermittent), and are Lexus right to charge £51 for me to be told that it's going to cost me hundreds to get fixed? Many thanks Ash

Thanks for the reply Ben. What a crazy place to put the Sat Nav drive :-) I have tried the dipping mirror issue. They both work when setting them manualy but still don't dip on reverse. Maybe I should take it to the dealer to programme. Any one got any sat nav discs for sale? Thanks again Ash The dipping mirror feature is only on the SE-L and Sport models if that helps Ahhhh that clears that up.............thank you.

Hi Has anybody used these to obtain the latest Sat Nav discs? - sat-navi.com I mailed them and got the following reply - The discs are professional back ups and work perfect or your money back. If they give a refund, surely it's worth it, just wondered if anyone else had any experience of them. Many thanks Ash
