    Happy Birthday Andytech!

    Will keep you posted. In the meantime I'm enjoying the IS Advance courtesy car. Very nice and wish I could afford to buy it.

    Update: The dealer wanted to have the car back after 500 miles to check oil consumption. I dropped the car round to them and they called me later to tell me that the car had indeed used far more oil than it should have done. The solution is that Lexus are now paying for a new short block replacement I just wonder if I should also claim back the cost of the EGR valve.

    Thanks mate. I'll look into this once I get the car back. The dealer wants to check oil consumption after 300 miles. I'm guessing he suspects worn piston rings or worse the head gasket....on a 40,000 mile car???

    I asked them to clean it out instead and they replied that the valve is completely shot?? sounded like someone couldn't be ar*ed. I wonder what response I'll get if I asked to see the failed valve assembly.

    My 220D started kicking out blue smoke last week. This morning I had the multiple warning lights and 'Check VSC'. Lexus dealer has told me the EGR valve needs to be replaced @£564 !! Not a happy bunny when I've only had the car 3 months and it's done less than 40K miles.

    In 1980 I sat down to watch a film with two friends. It remains, to this day, my favourite film of all time. And I'm now seeing it on Blu-Ray.Thanks Chris & Craig for opening my eyes and ears to The Blues Brothers all those years ago ;)

    Who actually reads my posts? Let's see who reads this entirely...Leave me a one-word comment that starts with the third letter of your first name. It can only be one word. Then copy this to your wall so I can leave a word for you. Don't just post a word and not copy -- that's no fun. lol

    Car is now with Lexus dealer - As predicted, the dash kept quiet during the test run....aaaaarrrrggg!
  14. Andytech
    Thanks for that mate. I'll talk to the dealer tomorrow and let you know how I get on. I'm assuming that once they key in the vin number, their system should report what recall work has or hasn't been done on the car.

    I bought it from a Renault dealer who has apparently serviced it. But I want it fully checked over by Lexus to make sure everything is it should be....Such as checking if the ECU firmware is up to date. Is the dashboard crack thing definitely a recall issue?....From what I read on here and elsewhere on the net it's an expensive, time consuming job that involves taking the dashboard out and replacing fixings beneath the windscreen.
