  1. All the plastics arch linings secured ok are they? As speed they may be touching tyre and this may not be obvious when stopped!
  2. If the emblem you want is not the part designed for your car then you may have to take the plunge and be the first to ‘go for it’ and try, hopefully it doesn’t cost an obscene amount and turn out not to be viable, you could be the one providing the answer in the future. 🤞
  3. Wow....worlds gone mad....there’s another £10k plus 10+ years old 250 and not even a SE-L with all the toys! https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202103160210578?advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=SW1A1AA&model=IS 250&page=1&aggregatedTrim=F Sport&make=LEXUS&year-to=2021&include-delivery-option=on&sort=relevance
  4. Note: If you have got ACC ( Adaptive Cruise Control) on your 250c then the front emblem contains the forward facing microwave transmitter and you should not try and change it. ACC emblem is shown in top pic
  5. +1 on Not having metal dust caps, cost me £40 ( iirc) to have all 4 valves changed just after I got my 250 because the Nice looking aftermarket alloy ones were siezed solid to the stems and I could not budge them ( ever with vice grips) without fear of ripping out the rubber valve stem. I don’t expect road salt helped and I am very happy to have plain old black plastic ones now, Live & Learn!
  6. Fuel filter is a bit of bugger to change apparently! ( derv is not my forte but just from what I have read around here)
  7. Apparently 6th gear is only comfortable at above 75 mph so where you gonna be able to use that? so your ‘problem’ is not too high a gear for the speed/revs is it? as it’s your 1st Diesel vehicle it may take some getting used to as the engine will Rev a lot lower.
  8. Much more realistic and I feel sorry for your loss, unless you’re getting an ISF that is.
  9. I know these cars are wonderful but I think this seller is aiming just a little too high! “Fully loaded” Hmmmm No ACC and No Moonroof!! https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202103109999304
  10. This guy normally grits my s h 1 t but for once I agree with him ( for some reason!)
  11. “Only plays DVD’s when out of gear” Well technically it when the VSS ( Vehicle Speed Sensor) is at 0
  12. Yes that’s the one, think it was £1.99 for full version. Well worth it 👍
  13. One plus with the VLine is the option to add ‘Skins’ or front end pages and make the screen icons very modern as the Grom ones are very Blocky’ and basic.
  14. Mine is not garaged ☹️ And is in full sun ( what little we get in Bristol) all the time and has been for last 4 years and is not showing any signs of deteriorating.
  15. I honestly don’t think ( someone might correct me! ) that the climate we have in the UK would cause the infamous sticky dash problem that is a major problem overseas ie in California, there is lots of examples on the ‘ClubLexus’ owners website.
  16. Do not trust sellers information and double check the terminals of any battery you buy or attempt to fit as it will be very very expensive if you reverse polarity, even for a split second, when connecting it.
  17. I got the VLine 2 to bring my infotainment system bang upto date without having to change headunit. The VLine lives in the glovebox and I gotta say it is not 100% reliable at times but has everything you could want and is future proof. Yes £500 is a lot but like I said options (apps ) are almost unlimited, YouTube, IPlayer, Netflix, etc. And the dash stays stock. have you seen these threads? Lots of pics. VLine 2 https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/116763-vline-vl2-install/ VLine Lite https://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/120439-grom-vline-lite-installation/
  18. With the access panel at the back of the glovebox removed then if you toggle re-circ button on & off then filter door/flap should move if all is ok.
  19. The servo arm that moves the door/flap gets broken I think if you try and open it manually and not available as a spare part and whole unit has to come out ( Somehow?) very expensive and needless repair if instructions on filter replacement are followed exactly!
  20. Sounds like a right nightmare! Doesn’t make me wanna emigrate that’s for sure!
  21. I have posted vids like this in the past but as new members join they may not have seen them, so here’s another that’s definitely worth 5 minutes of your time!
  22. Need to depress the plastic tab exactly where the numbers are shown on it!
