@audimad Apologies for the late reply, but I've only just had a chance to peruse the manual and I can't find out any more than the pic I posted previously in this thread. It's in the manual about removing the fuel tank and it just says remove the three hoses which appear to be the clips that just require careful use of a large pair of pliers. It's quite odd that it isn't even mentioned in the Fuel Flow diagram? I presume it to be the part I've arrowed bottom left......

Haha!, why wouldn't I? I was pretty pleased with myself having succeeded and @zoricib asked nicely! I must have thought I was at work (Oh yes, I am) where customers surface years after purchase and want spares or servicing for their Seismometers leading to much searching of archives and memories! Andrew

Hi @zoricib, If you're asking about adding/programming a standard key fob, yes I did indeed achieve success, for some unaccountable reason I posted the results of my efforts here OBD Engine Scanners (towards the end of the 2 page thread). If you're asking about the Smart Card key fobs, I decided that as I had the safety of two functioning standard keys I didn't need the hassle of buying a possibly un-resellable Card key. Andrew

Amazingly it looks like they're waiving any admin fee....., From the eMail.....

@cosmarchy Not a lot at the moment looking at their website....................... Andrew

I've bought refills in the past and in my experience they're never quite the same as complete new blades, I guess it's due to wear in the blades moving parts from use and road dirt..... Andrew

@cosmarchy Try this Link then. Euros are currently doing a 50% off promo £17.73 for both with promo code 'EGG80'........ Andrew

Hi @cosmarchy How about: Complete 20" Denso Hybrid Complete 22" Denso Hybrid These are the OEM parts from EuroCar Parts via eBay, but check on EuroCar Parts main website first as they often have a 50% off 'introductory offer'. P.S. Ignore the slightly strange descriptions on the eBay listings. Andrew

@finchy40 on an IS250 it's called a 'Front Bumper Extension Mounting Bracket'

@Mr.Flo No idea about what's on Amazon, mine came from eBay, however I've previously seen this one recomended as it says it works on 64 bit Windows. They all claim to work on 64 bit Windows but I had to reinstall 32 bit Windows on a spare laptop to make mine work.... Andrew

Hi, My brother had this happen a few times to his 2006 IS250 parked at home (keys not in pocket) and also when parked at work. 2nd Gen IS250's have the same long press unlock to open all windows active by default, disabled the option with Techstream and it hasn't done it since! Still doesn't explain why it does it though....... Andrew

@Zuke The first time you drive one the very non-linear throttle response in normal mode might lead you to that conclusion. There's a switch to the left of the steering column to select 'ECT/PWR' mode which appears to remove some of the throttle non-linearity. Mine lives in 'ECT/PWR' mode permanently, well unless it snows when it's other position of the switch 'Snow' which is a low torque mode. Wait until it's warmed up properly and let it have some revs and it's quite quick enough. Andrew

Hi Scott, Just had a look on PartSouq a US parts listing and it appears to be '7772053010 VALVE ASSY, FUEL TANK SOLENOID RETURN': Another site gives: '77720E 77720-53010 01 11.2005 VALVE ASSY, FUEL TANK SOLENOID RETURN ALE20' with '77720-53010' as the OEM part number. Hope these help......... Andrew

Hi Scott, Not an IS220 owner (IS250) but the pic confused me I was trying to reconcile it with views of the engine! Then I realised from looking at the manual that the convoluted rubber thing in the foreground is actually a rear axle joint boot! According to the manual the part with three pipes is the 'Fuel route switching valve' I can't find any reference to it in the 'Parts location' section only the attached reference to removing it. I'll have a further peruse and update if I do find anything. Andrew

I got fed up with constantly checking and correcting the tyre pressures due to what I thought were leaky rims so I bought a set of these (see pic). I didn't particularly like the external ones so went for the internal fit type. When I went to my regular tyre place Merittyre, Purley, Berks. It turns out that the rims were fine but the leaking was due to corrosion where the valves seat! Cleaned them out and assembled the included metal valve bodies to the rims with a generous helping of silicone O ring grease, tyres refitted and inflated to 35/38 (with nitrogen I think) and now get a continuous display of tyre pressures, which I haven't had to touch since they were fitted in April. Picture was taken just after arriving home so all the temps are up and pressures are ~4psi higher due to driving, cold in the morning they're still dead on 35/38. I have another set of these in my 16" winter tyres & wheels too. These are relstively cheap due to not having replaceable batteries but allegedly have a battery life of ~5 years, they don't transmit when they've been stationary for a while and wake up on moving a few feet.
