  1. Hi Colin, Thanks for you help.. I will check the side of the disc I hope it is a minor problem! although it does make quiet a racket when you drive around.. I don't know if you would class the other problems as minor.. excessive tyre wear (already had to change a full set) Keys stopped communicating with the car (so had the receiver and keys were replaced) Paint on my alloys have started to flake, quite heavily! Intermittent knocking noise from engine (when you start the car) On top of all that not great customer service!
  2. Hi I notice I have a distinctive rattle coming from the front end of my Lexus is250 I have already brought it to Lexus Sw*ndon.. they agreed that there is a rattle but didn't think it was brake related?? The reason I think it is the brakes / discs.. when you drive over joints in the road surface or over any slight bump, you can hear a clunky metal / rattle noise coming from the front end. If you drive over the same bump again with the brakes slightly pressed... there isn't a rattle? Lexus have already shimmed and replaced the retaining clips on the pads (they also put on loads of copper grease) I have only clocked up circa 4000 miles on the car since I purchased it - but is an approved used Lexus (about 62k in total on the clock) On my own investigation, I noticed fairly significant wear on the front discs, does anyone know the minimum thickness for the front Lexus discs? they are original Lexus discs from what I can see. I would really appreciate your help.. Its a shame but this little problem is taking the enjoyment out of my new car! (new to me) Unfortunately it is not the only problem I have had with the car though! Lexus I am disappointed!! I have previously owned Toyota's for 13 years (never had any problems) I wish I could say the same now!
