    Not so much hidden features but features you won’t/don’t need on a regular basis. They are mostly in the owners manual so definitely not hidden as such.
  3. Texas
    Not quite sure what you mean?? pray tell more!!!

    I actually took them some years ago when I was trying to get my head around the system and to follow along while reading the owners manual, yes I did/do read the manual and confess to being a nerd like that! 😂

    Here ( quite lengthy) are all the voice commands on the system.

    I would go with the above initially as if it is ‘toast’ then nothing to lose!
  7. Texas
    What the plugs or Ambush.com😂😂😂

    Sort of overkill and a bit of expensive for no reason perhaps. If the one year old Denso is not evidently dirty then a blast with an air line would give it a freshen up for another year!
  9. Texas
    The engine air filter is a 36 month/30,000 mile item in the service schedule and unless you done anywhere near this mileage ( in a year!) or drive regular pass a quarry entrance then I guess your Denso was prob still quite serviceable, and I would be tempted to put it back it to check if it is indeed the culprit for your mpg readings.

    +1 on above, your problem has arisen from Not using your AC enough probably!

    Excellent find my man! And bear in mind you don’t have to pay Lexus dealer rates if you have a known specific job (with supplied genuine parts) you can go to any established engine rebuilders.
  12. Texas
    Also what else was changed as part of your ‘annual service’ ? Question? How many miles has your 1 year old Lexus supplied Denso filter done?

    Check this out…

    Press MENU button, Then MAP DVD button to display current version of disc in car. Do Not Press the EJECT button unless you have removed the clock fascia already !!!!! the two pin tools ‘should’ be in the spine of the tool kit pack in boot! And yes Only SE-L models were fitted with real wood trim & the rear sun screen, even the ISF never had a sun screen! Plenty of yootoob vids on how to dismantle the auto version trim, not so much the manual box ( that’ll be cause most vids are from the Yanks!)
  15. Texas
    The interior trim panels in the SE-L Are actually Real wood veneers! They are manufactured by Yamaha ( the musical instrument section, not the motorbikes!) and are lacquered numerous times and highly polished. And each car is unique, made from the same piece of wood so any replacement piece from another car will not match. have you seen this ( auto box I know)

    ‘Double post’…..but you are gonna be told the same thing!

    Pretty sure the compass in the rear view mirror was only on US cars along with a garage door remote! if you have the SE-L model then pretty much everything is standard apart from Sun(Moon)Roof, Infotainment system and Active Cruise Control. your point 8. Normal unleaded was specified for this engine when released in 2006, and premium unleaded was not essential, But now Normal Unleaded is being sold with 10% ethanol added and this is Not compatible with a pre Sep 2007 IS250 so you should only use Premium Unleaded if yours is a pre Sep 2007 car.

    Not as much as the USB though!!!!

    Years ago I was installing a new battery in my car ( MkI Mondeo Diesel!) and my toddler son asked if it will go faster now as his toy cars do with new batteries!! What can you say?
  21. Texas
    Hmmmmm, you bought it so I guess someone might! Everything is fixable, but the art is knowing ‘What’ to fix when you are presented with symptoms that could emanate from a multitude of components!

    ‘Failed 0 ring’…. Hmmmm……it was a Failed 0 ring that ultimately brought down the Space Shuttle ‘Challenger’ !
  23. Texas
    Yes, found this also, http://www.towingcapacity.co.uk/car-make-model/lexus/ Their caveat is to check your V5 for the towing specs of your exact vehicle!
  24. Texas
    I think it is to do with the ‘Type Approval ‘ and possibly the braking system but don’t Quote me on that, off to find more info….
  25. Texas
    IIRC the IS250 was not designed to tow!
