i posted a query on TERRACLEAN uk site on 25th nov. got email today, giving details of local garage agent at Sheffield. This evening i got a call from them, and booked myself in for Friday...will update over weekend after giving vehicle a little run. If it doesnt clear my cat problem then it will clean everything else so worth a punt, as car worthy of keeping. M

Hi there, just searching the forum for terraclean. notice your post was way back in may....any joy with a resolve for the situation ? my rx300 had engine+ VSC a few weeks ago. had only had vehicle for about one month, stacked 1200 miles on, whilst going around Devon, on hols, so thought a service was required. Recomended to use small local family garage, by a friend (..who works with council on sting ops on garages and dealerships) so a recommendation from him was worthy.. they serviced the vehicle, and informed me that the code came up showing bank one cat was underperforming. so reset it and see how she goes, well after one and half weeks it came on again. I should add we are getting a very pleasing 21-22 mpg on a short journey of 9 miles to and from work, so happy with everything ....except the lights on the dash. They tested again...same results, and informed me a cat was required (of which my vehicle has three !...news to me...first Lexus.lol) £630 plus all bits, plus labour, oh and plus VAT !!!, expensive as it has to come from a Lexus dealer. BUT suggested two cans of CATACLEAN first with a tank of fuel, which i eagerly tried...four days later the lights came on again... Ive been recommended this TERRACLEAN service by a friend, but would appreciate any feed back before i make the move. Also any feedback on places that i might obtain the replacement cat...if not from the Lexus dealer....Lots of search results come up online, but a recommendation would be appreciated, MAGNACLEAN, was another suggestion ...from a friend. Suggestions/advice appreciated.... I must add love the car, first Lexus, bought on a recommendation (uncle has had 3 Lexus 300k plus on each) she has 104,000 miles full Lexus service history inc cam belt, when purchased. Nearest Lexus Dealership Lincoln or Nottingham (25-35miles), paid £3k so depreciation not important for resale...hence good local family garage acceptable. regards. M
