LexusLusher

Hi Justin my motor and linkege arrived 2 days after purchase to sunny NI from england :) took it to my mechanic who fitted it , he says it was pretty easy to do and my problem is now fixed !! really pleased as it was very annoying £40 well spent on the 2nd hand part of ebay - lexus quoting £310 hope this is of some help

MY mechanic reckons i need a new wiper motor and linkege ! priced it at lexus £310 !! went online and ive sourced a 2nd hand one for £40.(with 3months warranty) not bad i thought its just arrived today so i will let you know the outcome R

Grateful for any advice have a very annoying issue with my wipers on the intermittent wiper setting the wipers don't return to the normal position , instead they are at a vertical position over the window and have to manually returned to the correct position. the whole settings for the wipers seems to have changed with strange stopping points and the continual wipe just stops on its own until you select the really fast wipe setting to get them started again another example is after the window wash is spread the wipers take an age to stop has anyone encountered this problem ? thanks in advance ?

Hey thanks for the replies ! i took the bull by the horns and opened the bonnet and found the water reservoir myself (wayhey) it was completely empty - so filled only with water to the line. was in work basement so couldnt get my hands on any anti freeze ! what i would say is it did heat up a little quicker but the fan level at max is still totally useless ??? i would say in comparison its on par with the first fan notch of my previous is200. another point to add is -my car generally runs 24/7 with the AC button on and during the summer months the AC does cool the car slighlty but again nothin on par with the good old IS200 sport i had for 7 years and never a thing wrong :) what a motor that was :)

HI Kev , finally i have just read an answer to this problem !! i have had the exact same issues , was fine during the summer but this time of the year is a disaster, driving down a cold foggy motorway this morning the fan had barely cleared my windows half way up - not to mention the side windows completley misted !! working in IT im pretty useless when it comes to anything other than driving my motor or pressing a few buttons on a KB:) i'd be gratfeul if you could help in the hope i'm not sounding ridiculousy stupid what and where is the water resevroir, and do i need a particular type of ant freeze

Hi everyone new to the site and grateful for any help Haven driven an IS200 Sport for 8 years without any issues i have since upgraded and bought an IS220 SE 2006 77000 miles. From the offset i have noticed that it takes an age for the car heaters to warm up, with the Fan at full speed it barely clears the windows until you are well into a long journey. periodically i get a loud cracking noise which sounds like a large stone hitting the window from the dash area. The MPG isnt very impressive with under 40 cruising on a motorway any ideas ??
