    You are not alone with your random beeps.. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-2nd-gen-2006-2013/582941-is250-few-seconds-beep-after-door-lock.html This might be helpful https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-2nd-gen-2006-2013/641979-multiple-beeps-when-opening-door-with-smart-key-in-pocket.html paul m.

    Simple things first. Make sure there is not a working key inside the car anywhere and that the batteries in any fobs you have are 'good', maybe a low battery warning? paul m.

    +1, If it were a Diesel application we are talking about ( and somewhere where it gets quite cold regularly) then it might be more relevant as the engine compression is very much more and this has to be overcome just after the glow plugs have had the Lion's share of the battery! paul m.

    Simple 'Find' yourself a witness then.....

    Likewise I'll check what mine is because I'm Pretty sure the battery in my 2007, 37k miles IS is still the original from the factory and back when I got the car in Aug this year I took the battery out and topped up the electrolyte with pure water before leaving it on charge for a while on an intelligent charger because it was turning over a bit sluggish for my liking. All cells needed topping up as they were on or just below minimum so hopefully I have rescued it and it will last a bit longer, one thing I do remember about the battery when I had it out was that it was not a branded aftermarket one and had Japanese writing on it! paul m

    Good looking result you got there! Really need to do my IS that I bought in Aug this year ( haven't cleaned it yet!!) don't look down on me cause I've only done about 350 miles in it!! Can you please let on what products you used as I haven't actually bought any yet and would rather go on recommendations than ad hype. FYI my paint 'feels' really rough and 'sandy' to the touch so I think I need to get some 'fallout remover' at least along with some clay bar perhaps. Also my alloys need to be refurbished as they are flaking very badly on the inside face and this I think will lead to slow punctures if not addressed. Cheers Paul m.

    For those who like to get their hands dirty ( or wanna past them to their trusted mechanic to fit) Eurocarparts have 50% of pads and discs, including Brembo, up till 9pm today, 15/11/17, so if you are in the market for some any time soon well worth it I reckon. use code FLASH50 (only for pads and discs remember) cheers Paul M.

    If your switch turns out to be faulty then I just found this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-05-09-IS250-AUTOMATIC-ENGINE-BUTTON-SWITCH-START-STOP-2004DJ1456/182897925294?hash=item2a9590dcae:g:0mkAAOSwIhxZZMmu ( not being sold by me or anyone I know) paul m.

    Don't you just hate predictive s€x. paul m.

    Right now using "WEEKEND35" code this is £4.48 @ Eurocarparts paul m.
  13. Texas
    They got any left at this price?????? my alloys are flaking real bad on the inside surface and will need addressing soon, one way or another and £530 for new would be doable. paul m.
  14. Texas
    Do you only have one key fob, and therefore cannot try a second key fob to check the one your using is good? paul m.
  15. Texas
    The recall can be a fuel seal or passenger air bag or maybe both! paul m.
  16. Texas
    Apparently water pumps on the IS are usually good upto about 90-100k so assuming the same sort of materials used and quality control then this does seem rather early!! paul m.
  17. Texas
    That's not the only reason head gaskets fail.
  18. Texas
    Not au fait with DERV's but a petrol engine will rev high if the IAV is faulty or the thermostat is stuck Open, hopefully a d owner will be along soon to expand, question? Has this just started to happen ( idle was OK upto now) or is the car new to you? So after a short time does it idle correctly? Paul m.
  19. Texas
    So he might! But did you win your car in a free raffle? I guess not and I know I have worked damn hard to get mine so if some Jeremy Kyle contestant wants to treat it ( my property) like dirt then it is probably gone end up with us both rolling around on the ground and getting a few scratches to say the least, straight after an exchange of expletives has taken place. Sure it ain't gonna fix anything but I'm gonna sleep a whole lot better and mr tricycle might think twice in the future.

    If the car/battery has been out in the frosty nights then this will take its toll on a battery that is not in 100% good condition and it is only going to get worst if exposed to more frosty nights.

    Think I would have got out and given one of his mirrors a slap when you saw him the second time!
  22. Texas
    Good result there then! £227 all in, but me being me would still be getting up close and personal and doing it myself, admittedly got a second car so no pressure on having to getting it done in a certain time frame. But once again glad you're all sorted ( for another 90k anyway!!!) cheers paul m.
  23. Texas
    That's a bit poor I feel.
  24. Texas
    What's the guarantee period on that Lexus price then? paul m.
  25. Texas
    Has your 250 been back to the dealers for its recalls ( airbag and fuel seal) if not then the niggley dash might be sorted when they do the airbag if you ask nicely!!! paul m.
