  1. thanks for the parts list will use that, I'm not going to be replacing cat ! I had many cars now older and newer, never needed to replace a cat and I can't believe that Lexus would use a cat's that won't last even 100k miles ! Instead of replacing sensor's every 2-3 years as it seems common I'm going down lambda emulation route similar as on picture. If they made sensors which does not bring any value to the car they should have made them cheaper and easier to replace. I'm using Rockauto quite often to bring parts for my classic Camaro and agree that they are great !
  2. so a small update I took car for a ride yesterday from Caterham to Stansted and the way there was smooth empty M25 etc so way there got me 28mpg on the way back my CEL+VSC came back and got around 26.5 mpg i will get codes read again but for me it looks like i have to get my hands dirty and replace O2 sensors, Does any one have part numbers for those ?
  3. Hi Thanks for that great answer Regarding the p0420 yes the car been around 2-3months unused before I bought it (but in reality I'll never know) on a motorway run I had 26-27 mpg, mixed driving gives me around 20-22 but l would say that I'm not most economical driver - is this acceptable for RX ? car had quite bad brake disc's and pads all round so today I got new set fitted on the front (190quid fitted damn!! ) the rear needs to wait a bit as well as new front tires. I've driven less than 3 miles today only and the codes didn't come back (no CEL + VSC. ) I will take it for a ride tomorrow then read codes again. I'm quite concerned that the missing roof rails caused a lot of trouble as water was flowing through the rear d/s pillar behind the covers to the boot. I will remove everything I can from the boot and see if there is any visible damage there. I'm fine with dealing with a bit of mechanics and electrical stuff and plan to do the rear brakes on my own. I had not received much paperwork with so I'm still trying to find out what version is it :) SE-L or SE ? how would I know ?
  4. i have now ordered and fitted the roof rails - easy job and it stopped the issue with leaking water into the car through screw holes so far so good. I have as well ordered an mini-VCI cheap as chips (i think £3.99 posted ) got it to work on windows 10 64bit and got all codes read firts picture shows the first scan and the second after clearing code I'm taking the car tomorrow fora short ride to see which codes will come back. so if there is anyone who knows how to deal with those codes i will appreciate any help :)
  5. Hi ! I recently brought another Lexus in to the family (previously 2007 IS ) , this time it is an 75K 2004 RX (Build in 11/2003 but registered in Jan 2004 so I assume it's one of the first mk2 RX's made) Apart from common CEL+VSC light the car runs perfect and pulls well! Unfortunately someone had removed the roof railings from it (!) , can anyone advice what are the part numbers for those (maybe the pre 2004 cross bar style will fit ?) Best Regards
  6. I'm about to get one from him does it comes with new rubber for buttons ?
  7. Hi Im moving out of uk soon and will take my IS 2ND Gen with me, The problem i have is that it would not pas an exuivalent of MOT because of light beam is designed for a LHD car, Is there any switch or a way to adjust beam without changing the whole headlights ? The lights on a car are standard projector light with H11 Bulb. Thanks.
  8. I just been quoted for a 6 year service in Tunbridge Wells £644.47 when asked what will be replaced i was told: "oil and oil filter, diff oil change brake fluid replacement, pollen filter change, and all the usual checks". 2 hours waiting. The car has done ~130K There is no mention about glow plugs or anything like that. I think i'ts way overpriced or there is something wrong with me??
  9. For those of you who struggle to sync a car's Phone Book with Nokia phones on IS: On phone go Contact list -> Mar All -> Then send as business card by Bluetoth in car do a normal transfer initiation Worked on IS 220d and X6
  10. Well i'm not sure about RX but my IS does use real traffic information when in guidance mode, however it is abit over reacting i think :)
  11. Has any one tried a new E15 maps in europe ? what are the differences in coverage levels ?
  12. Hi We are freshly cooked IS220d 57 reg owners in Folkestone. We will be doing all services in Lexus Cantenbury - any one was dealing with them already ?? Best regards and cu on the roads !
