thanks mate that's great to know, excellent service received so far from Leon 

It's the RC F Sport, yes it's at Hedge End so about 3 hours away from me, but it's worth it..

thanks mate can't wait 

Cheers will do, no it's a Lexus main dealer, only one in the UK to keep used stock in doors apparently 

Hi Guys 

Just thought I'd say hello and introduce my wheels. I've had an IS 300h F Sport for 2 years now and got offered an amazing deal on this which I couldn't say no too. It's fully loaded with the sunroof, ML system and also boot spoiler which is nice. I collect on Saturday so if you guys have any hints or tips let me know. 

Hi 

Just thought I'd say farewell to all you IS owners. I've absolutely loved my IS 300h F Sport but have now purchased this so i wont be far away lol. Had a great deal which I really couldn't say no to. It's fully loaded including a sunroof and ML system which I've never had before. Thanks for all your hints and tips on the IS 

Linas  f sport on 18inch is also square pressure on all corners. Nice dig about the 300h being under powered again. 

Wow that's excellent well done will keep that in mind when I change again. Enjoy the ps4 great tyres 

cheers

Hi 

I have to agree with Ryaans personally I wouldn't touch t cut on Lexus paint. when i first had my Lexus and before I was heavily into detailing I used t cut to remove a fine scratch, great I thought. got up in the Morning and the sun was shining on the car, the t cut had caused lots of fine maring in the paint, looked awful. 

That's my advice anyway, give your maguairs stuff ago in a place that's not obvious first. 

cheers

thanks it's the solid velvet black 

Hi 

which version of the IS do you have? I have the F sport with 18 inch alloys and the firmer suspension and don't experience the behaviour you are referring to. 

cheers 

Hi 

I tried this too and had no luck however, you can get a carista dongle and app and this allows you to unlock a whole load of features including that one. check it out 

cheers

+1 for Michelin PS4.
Every bit as grippy and responsive for spirited driving as the Pilot Super Sports that I previously had, but way quieter, more compliant and better on fuel. Just great tyres overall.
You can get £40 off a set of 4 at Blackcircles just now which brings them a bit closer to the cheaper options.

Yes I have a friend who works for Mitch and he told me they own black circles which I never knew, hence the discount they do on michy 

hi 

glad you're enjoying the IS great cars. I'm running Michelin pilot sport 4's get great reviews. Since I've put these on I haven't seen much of the traction control.light..I paid about £135 each for the rears which was a decent price. don't got for budget rubbish, not worth it on a car like these, or any car for that matter.

Cheers

Looking good. Where abouts are you based? 

Based in the Midlands, happy to travel abit if needs be 

Hi 

some of you maybe aware last year in had my IS paint work fully corrected as it had swirls and marks all over it. Since then I've been on some 1-2-1 course and purchased alot of the kit myself. I've now done a few cars but today decided to go over my 13 plate IS again This didn't take long at all because my washing technique is very strict so very minor scratching to the laqer that's all. Lexus paint is very soft so it's always gonna happen however that makes it nice to work with when correcting. Here are some pictures from today, if any of you would like your paintwork correcting drop me a pm and we can discuss further. 

Hi 

welcome to the Lexus club. I had the same issue as you as I came from an auris hybrid and I too thought the centre console was rather dark. when it went in for a service a Lexus technician came out and confirmed the 2 wholes where I thought the leds were are infact for the alarm. don't worry too much as you get used to it and now it doesn't bother me at all, absolutely love the car 

Cheers

Hi

I have an F Sport with the 18 inch wheels. my driving is always long runs with the odd local run every now and then. I've owned it for 12 months now and the lowest tank ever was 48mpg. Average for the year is 50mpg which I'm extremely happy with. winter time I drop onto smaller 16 inch wheels with winter tyres and if anything my mpg improves .

hope this helps 

enjoy the new motor 

hi 

I have an S8 and was having this issue a few months back. turned out the firmware on the car needed updating and was nothing to do with the phone. Lexus updated it for me free of charge and since then it works perfect all the time.

cheers

carl

looks amazing mate enjoy. if you need any tips how to detail your black IS and keep it crisp let me know.

Thanks

carl

I own a Lexus IS and we also have the new Toyota avensis. this same thing happened to our avensis last month and it turned out to be a faulty sensor. it was all sorted and replaced under warranty. if you have warranty is go and get it checked out 

glad you got it sorted. FYI I took mine to the local Toyota dealer today for its MOT £27,50, Lexus wanted nearly 50 quid, both garages owned by the same group too.

The MOT is not a certificate of roadworthiness though. It just means it was deemed to be roadworthy at time of testing. Your car can be not roadworthy despite having an MOT - for example if it has bald tyres or a windscreen chip in the field of view 1s after the MOT. Its just a snapshot of the cars life

I have to agree with ryaans here. unless the accident was caused by a sudden drop in pressure the insurance company wouldn't be too bothered. my friend had a very serious accident was air lifted to hospital etc. he had after market wheels on his car with completely different tyres sizes to what the manufacturer stated. Aviva paid out no problem infact as it was quite a rare care (corolla compressor) he got slightly more than he paid 

haha oh dear I apologise now .

I think they are referring to the TC kicking in too soon not actually spinning the wheels
