  1. thanks taimur,my radio pickup is in rear screen aswell,does your car have double demister button on dash?also i told windscreen man i wanted proper lexus glass because of wiper heater and black strip under interior mirror,also the new glass has lexus on it,all very puzzling. thanks for your input, chris [lex loofah]
  2. i think its the pins siezing rather than the pistons,when car was mot'd it was picked up on uneven pressures,20% less pressure on the affected caliper at rear,front calipers dont seem to be affected.the difference is noticible as the car rolls on after breaking heavily now its been fixed. the car isa 2007,is220d se,[steve] you should be ok, i got leaking rear shocker to deal with now,which was not picked up on service but spotted when caliper changed yesterday, the dogs may bark but caravan rolls on eh!!!! lex loofah!
  3. had windscreen repaired by a national company.when i put double screen demister/wiper ice melter on the radio goes all fuzzy/bad reception! lexus say its a windscreen not installed properly, windscreen man says its cars fault. radio goes fuzzy when demister wires are connected or not /? anyone out there had a similar prob? lexus want me to book it in,who pays? i have a windscreen insurance excess of £60 which i have paid,will they pay my time,my fuel etc? any help please because they wont help,and im the one outta pocket at end of day.thanks chris [lex loofah]
  4. had the rear caliper sieze on my 220, i was quoted £170 by lexus two months ago,ive seen so called 're manufactured' ones on e bay for £160 and second hand ones for £120 from breakers, however toyota have redesigned the caliper ,since joining this club have an excellent supplier- mr andy cross at westover lexus in poole ,wait for it!!!!! £75.70p inc postage! what a diamond. thanks andy. also the caliper is compatabil with the old one,so i can change that one when it siezes up!
