  1. This is not working on my 2008 lexus is220d. Doors still closed. Do you have any other tips :-( Appreciate
  2. Hi there, I just got an is220d from 2008 and only the driver door is opening regardless I tryed literally everything from the forum or lexus manual. I just watched the video above and and excited I was confident this it'll finally sort my problem but didn't. Standing outside saw on my central dash (after holding for @10seconds open&close buttons) ...the car with all doors open but when I tryed ..darn, still close! Maybe it works only to latest lexus as the one in video I believe its 2013 2014 ?? Anybody else?
  3. ...or an ipod connector in a glove box. The wire mite be hidden behind the door acces for aircabin filter. Previous owner could stack behind it maybe was no use to him. Worth a try.
  4. I'm not a pro in all this car...thinks but I can tell you this: Don't waste your money on Hanckok or all other china-korea or vietnam tyres!! Its only like 20 £-30 £ difference between those and good ones ad known Goodyear or Michelin or Bridgestone. Not many ppl's know the difference aside money its the length and time you brake for example at 60km/hour we talk around 8-12meters difference !!!.. depending on weather also. If you google it you will see how serious is this "tyres buying think"! Hope I could help and help to take a right decision. You know, direction and breaks are the 2 most important things at any car so think twice when you decide to go for cheaper tyres, especially now, when winter and wet muddy times are just around the corner.
  5. How to reset AVG & ECU ? Sorry but new @forum and also new Lexus is220d 2008 owner also..., happy one si far!!
  6. Can anyone light me up? I see set of discs p Catalin us brake pads on ebay.co.uk for around 65 £ and to replace them by myself myself it'll take@2-2.1/2hours job.Why people pay @500 £ for this job???? Thw set from ebay are fake/not genuine/spurious ?? Cheers.
  7. Hello everyone, A couple of days ago I stopped at a petrol station to put some diesel and after I drove a few hundred meters "Check VSC" come on didplay, a big red triangle, malfunction engine sign (on the bottom left side) and TRC OFF also (on right hand side of the dashboard). Now...I had sleepless the last 48hours trying to figure out what and where...I post on this forum around 8 help messages @all very simple: ............ The diesel cap when its not close properly makes ur dashboard looks like an early Xmas tree !!!! ............. All sorted !! Next time when u get some messages on ur dashboard try to calm down and remember the last think you did before all "early Halloween" starts. ..and one more tip: the la software t think u wanna do its throw ur car in some lexus garage (unleast if its not out of warranty) u won't. They can fix it like in 5min and hold it for a couple of weeks after that, changing you with a 4k-6k. Be aware!! Good luck everyone and hope I help a few "of us" not being ripped off!! A pleasant evening to all of you.

Keep posted with any news!!!!! Up the Dubs.
