Awesome, the convoy was pretty cool last time around I'd be up for doing it again. Truck stop at 9:50 sounds good.

Anybody travelling up the m1 want to meet up at the truck stop like last time?

I should be there too guys

Just looked through all the pics posted so far on here, some really good ones posted. After seeing and hearing Ally's exhaust, I've definitely got it on my wishlist!

I'm going to be up very bright and early in the morning for a wash/wax and vacuum...gonna scrub her up as close to my departure as possible as the pigeons round here have a habit of redecorating anything that sits on my driveway!

10am suits me...looking forward to it

This falls on my route so would def be up for meeting here

Really intriguing to read through this thread, everybody loves a good mystery hey! Are you sure that the car hasn't been moved whatsoever? Seems silly that no authorities seem like they want to own it i.e. Police NHS Council etc. It might be the case that whoever parked it there knows exactly what they're doing and simply doesn't want to tax or use the car for a while so have plodded it there hoping that nobody will notice.

Bit late on the take as I haven't been on here in a while, but I'd be up for this as it isn't a million miles away from me. Might bring a mate along too, he's not a lex owner but is an enthusiast so I'm sure he'd be up for it.

Mine does this too, same as my previous IS200....Very noticeable in the recent cold weather! I think more than just the colour of the fumes, the smell will be a big indicator if there's a problem. A smell if its strong and distinctive might be cause for concern but otherwise nothing to worry about.

Not saying its a definite cause and I'm no expert but I've heard of this sort of thing happening and electrics misbehaving after power surges i.e. fuses didn't do their job. A while ago I stupidly jump started with the polarities wrong way around (this was the single most stupid thing I've ever done for so many reasons - but thats another story!), lost ignition lost everything luckily the fuse did its job though and after an AA callout and replacement fuse all was fine, while waiting for the AA to arrive though I remember doing a bit of research on the web at the time and heard of many people experiencing problems with locks, windows, sunroof etc only partially working or not working at all after a reversed polarity jump start.

With Christmas just around the corner and being in the festive spirit I thought this would be something worth sharing...I recently found out from a colleague that Vodafone offer a pretty nifty 20% off line rental for new contracts if you work for any of the following companies: 3663 Accenture ADP Agilent Alix Partners Arriva Aston Martin AXA Tech Barclays Capital BBC BDR Thermea Berkhamsted School Biffa Black and Decker Blackrock BLNW BP British Gas Cadbury Carlsberg Centrica Chubb Insurance Colliers International Compass Computer Associates Constellation Brands Cordia Cueta Healthcare Cunningham Lindsey DPD DTZ Electronic Arts Ernst and Young Expro Ford Ford Retail GE GeoPost Gilead Sciences Gladedale Global Radio Goldman Sachs GSK Halcrow Hallmark Hawker Beechcraft HCL HP HSBC IBM Innserve Interlink express JD Sports Kraft Lloyds Banking Group Maersk Medtronic MITIE NCG Nestle New Look Nexus NHS Dumfries & Galloway NHS Grampian Northern Rail Panasonic Pepsi Punter Southall RBS Reed Elsevier Resource Shop Direct Thames Water The Scottish Government Thomson Reuters Thorntons Trelleborg UBS Unipart United Utilities Visteon Whitbread WPP You can redeem by taking a work ID or recent wage slip into a vodafone shop or by completing this online form here: https://www.vodafone...ntage/index.htm By the way I'm not an employee of Vodafone!

Suxelis check out this thread I made a while back...I have an xcarlink adapter fitted in mine and I used to have the grom in my old lexus so its a comparison of the two. They're pretty simple to install if your even the slightest bit handy and as long as you look at the instructions and understand them you'll be fine. There's a very useful link I posted in that thread if you check it out http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=78148

Really feel for you mate, such a shame. Having seen pics of your car on here I must admit always thought she was a lovely example.

A friend of mine told me he used tesco compare and it gave him the cheapest prices...I've never been on it myself but perhaps worth adding to that list
