    My 2009 IS sounds like it’s blowing somewhere. Will this part fit? It’s says no but I just assumed the exhaust system would be the same on all IS’s?

    Rebecca, can I have a go of your ISF please?

    I recently had to replace a fuse for my drivers side power seats. There’s a small fuse box under the steering wheel, which fuses do what are displayed in the owners manual and the lid of the fuse box has a key showing the same. Not sure this will help, the only 30amp fuse I saw under the steering column was for the power seat.

    It was a blown fuse, thankfully. Thanks again for the advice

    Normski - nothing spilt. Sat in the car with engine running, using the lumbar button. I’ve a feeling I might have held on to the button after maxing it out. Sounds like it’s an auto electrician might be needed

    Last night I was adjusting the lumber support on the drivers seat when the seat stopped adjusting, dash lights dimmed for a split second and now none of the seats buttons work whatsoever. Passenger side is fine and heated seats still work on broken seat. I was hoping it was a blown fuse but going off the owners manual the fuse that controls the power seats also controls lots of other things such as headlights, smart entry etc. Any ideas and advice greatly appreciated

    Ordered and ready for collection tomorrow. That’s my Saturday morning gone trying to fit them!

    Europarts are doing a Black Friday sale so was looking to replace my tired wipers. Going off their reg plate parts checker thingy it brings up various options including a rear wiper blade which obviously we don’t have on an IS (at least mine doesn’t). https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Lexus_IS_2.5_2009/p/car-parts/car-body-parts-and-car-exhaust/wipers/wiper-blades/?485775610&1&40872e170c853e85d7b0bcc7fedfee498271d993&000604 Can anyone confirm if these will fit before I order? Thanks I’m advance!

    Independent. Part was £90 plus vat, billed three hours labour. I’d love to have a go myself but it’s my only car so it needed to be done for Monday. Edit - yes, coolant changed and was itemised on invoice
  12. WetMyBeak
    Job done - £227 fitted.

    I’ve not noticed high temps but I’ve not really been on a run since I noticed the noise. I’ll check again tomorrow for any sign of leaks but I didn’t notice any when I checked Early. Thanks for the help

    Noticed a bit of a rattle a couple of days ago. Popped the bonnet today and it seems the water pump is on its way out. It’s my only car and I use it to commute to work, round trip 20 miles per day. I’m planning to take it to my local mechanic on Friday morning, should I be concerned about driving it for the next four days? Also, any idea of cost? Europarts has a pump for £130 so maybe a couple of hours labour, £250 ish? Thanks in advance!

    Just booked in at Lexus Chester. Apparently it's a two hour job and I can either wait in the dealership or get a lift over to the local shopping outlet. Really fancied a 300h loaner as well.

    so oil and filter change plus valet and general inspection for £164? I suppose you get the stamp as well which looks nice in the service book. Thanks for the advice
  18. WetMyBeak
    I got two prices this morning: Essential service - £164 Full service - £275 My car is 2009 SE I with 90k. It has FSH with all but the last two from Lexus. I'm probably going to keep the car for a further 12/18 months so with this in mind thought having a Lexus stamp in the book would be appealing to any potential buyers. My question is do you still get a Lexus stamp with the essential service and what does it include above oil and filters change or is that it?

    A work colleague struggles to get above 26 mpg in his 2006 (mines 2009) so we should count ourselves lucky.
  20. WetMyBeak
    My average over the last 10 months is 29.4 mpg and that's mostly conservative driving. My girlfriend has dragged that figure down though with her big, fat lead foot!
  21. WetMyBeak
    Travelled from Warrington to Llandudno today and averaged 43.8 mpg. A trouble free run, mostly travelling at 70 mph on the A55. A proper cruising machine, shame the majority of my daily driving is urban.

    How does that K&N filter sound? I know you weren't keen on your stainless exhaust so I'm curious. Another good guide as well. I'll give that a go, looks an easy job
  23. WetMyBeak
    Link?

    It was more upgrade in purchasing terms really. I've got a feeling it'll take a lot of searching to find a modern car with the level of refinement the 250 offers for similar money on the used car market. Great shouts from Linas and Dutchie on the 3rd gen, they look great, definitely something to aim for if I could get one for around 10k
  25. WetMyBeak
    I agree on the IS, best car I've owned as an overall package. The others listed are just general ideas, I'd probably take the CRV over the Quashqai having owned a good few Hondas. I forgot to throw in the 300h but slightly out of my price range at the minute. Also, the quoted mpgs for the hybrids seem to be a way off real world figures owners report.
