North west beast

Check the thermostat too , take it out and drop it in boiling water to see if it opens , I had this noise on a car years ago , faulty stat which cause the head gasket to blow .

How high are you talking mate

Wow, from taking my mat to my car! Lol

That escalated quickly

That's an idea! ;)

I can distract him with the shiney new key fob holder whilst I heist the boot mat! :)

It's on my ever increasing list!!! ;) Lol.

Be good to see Stu's to make sure it's what I'm after. :)

Well done...glad you have fixed it. It is a right pain in the a..e having that go of after 10 mins driving.

It may well be a known fault but you try and get Lexus to sort it.....reluctant is all I will say.

Let's hope a few others can get the same result too.

It's under warranty that anyway mate .its a fault of Lexus ,they done mine free . Scratched the console and gear knob of corse taking the stereo out but hey why wouldn't they , muppets .

Sold that car now but I made them put it right .

Just be carefull anyone taking the stereo out the meal brackets are so easily caught on the dash etc .

Snice I want one

Hi mate have u seen one in the flesh yet , heard one apart from on you tube etc . I thought it sounded good on you tube but in the flesh it ooooh ahhhhhh

Believe me just get one

Welcome mate , that's gorgeous . I actually like that better than my silver but couldn't get one .enjoy and be carefull .

I average 18-22 mpg, and it's never really changed between service intervals. Lowest figure recorded was 4 mpg on our gliding club runway when investigating whether the car starts to run out of steam as it approaches its electronically controlled limit (it doesn't by the way, just keeps pulling).

Naughty boy lol

It is mate. It's a gsxr k6 750.

Love it!

Is that you on the bike stu on your avatar . what kind is it.

Love the pics tango very nice .

Yeh your right stu , ill shurrup lol

To be honest an is350 would have done me .there quick too but not for sale in the uk only imports .stupid that .

I loved my new is250 advance , gorgeous car ,very comfy all the extras and only 5000 miles when I let it go but just lacks power.

Such a shame , another 50 bhp and I would have kept it .

Has anyone here had a 250 .

I really like the alloy weave lol that's one thing that I first loved when I saw the pics etc .

Tyre pressure monitors yeh I agree .

Yeh stu I agree it doesn't sound too v8 ish .i think I imagined it to sound American muscle car v8 but never the less still sounds good.

I would have liked a newer revamped model with the softer suspension etc but I can live with it ,it is quite harsh but ok on nice roads .

So are you going for the toyota service stu or Lexus .

Just wondering folks what did you think the isf would drive like etc before you bought one .

I bought mine over the phone 3 hours plus away , I had only ever seen one but wanted one .

I hadn't a clue what they were like but as I was driving down to collect it I thought to myself

I think the steering will feel heavier that my 250 , it would feel more planted etc .

I didn't think it would be as fast lol and my expectations were bang on .

Just wonder how you others felt .

In Lexus techs/mechanics defence, I actually know a couple of them and a Toyota main dealer tech. They are not allowed loose on any car until they have received their induction training and are shadowed by a senior tech while they're in their induction period.

They also receive a hell of a lot of training. They're going on courses all the time and when a new model is launched they go away for a whole week sometimes to get to grips with it and learn the car and recieve training on it :)

Yeh I agree that's why they repaired my stereo on my last is250 and scratched the console when they took it out .fully trained eh .

That's why when I dolled my isf my Battery was loose , wheels the wrong way around , tyre pressures all over the place , air filter not cleaned out , fully trained eh .

Two different dealers .

I'll get my coat .

You had a bad experience and sounds like they let a numpty loose on your car so therefore all Lexus and Toyota techs must be untrained numpty cowboys.... Stands to reason doesn't it

Think it is. Maybe designed to be more progressive as opposed to potentially snatchy initial bite?

Over to u stu lol

I had a black is250 sr a few years ago . Had it super guarded when I bought it from my local Lexus dealer . Big mistake .

It looked a million dollars for 3 months then in the sun one day I've never seen as many buffer marks in my life .

It looked awful .it gradually got worse as the finishing coat wore away .

I traded it in soon after .

Lesson learnt never get a car buffed with one of them machines .not that I knew if was getting done cos I didn't .

Anyway good look mate and hope yours stays looking good .

24 since I've owned it, 30 on a late night cruise from Kent to Yorkshire. About 15 on one tank when i did too much London driving! Got 12 from the Elise (215bhp) on track last weekend... Fun tho!

Get some pics up Dave of your Elise .nice them

Stock brembo discs and pads. Doesn't have the initial bite I expected from them at all.

Weird but must be right I suppose .

Fair enough and all reasonable objections. I'll get mine booked on I think.

Thanks chap. Apprwciate the help. I also think it may have happened due to pot hole as only noticed it last week.

Stu

I'm not even going to look at mine ha bet it's the same .anyway what you doing driving looking at your steering wheel , look ahead ha .

Good luck let us know the outcome mate .

Lol. Only noticed it last week. It amazing how you just pick it up. Even the slightest of angle. Just doesn't look right!
