Hi Steve. The Only diagnostic tool you want is Techstream. It's 2nd only to what Toyota/Lexus use in their workshops. From memory when I had the F sport RX450H I never got below 35mpg. I only used E5 and always Millers Petrol Ecomax additive. My driving, as always lol, was with pace. Once when I drove like Miss Daisy I got 48mpg on a run from Rochdale to Leeds. I miss that car 😞

Yes tyre shops hate tyre sealant and I know fir a fact they refuse to deal with a customer whose used it. I speak from the experience of a few friends. The space saver wheel fits all four corners.

Can't understand how I've missed this thread. But. As the saying goes. Buy cheap and the headaches start. As mentioned above vland lights yes expensive But they're plug n play and No issues. Yes taking the headlights out on the is250 is a sod but only should take 20 mins tops.

Hello Keith and welcome to the best Lexus forum there is. I suggest you ask your question in the UX section of the forum. Fellow owners will answer as they'll see your post.

The colour you mean is Russet Brown. I once had a Morris Marina in this wonderful colour 😀

That's a sad story Stephen. And for those of us born n bred in Manchester I apologise for the way the City I once loved to death has gone to the dogs. As for the carrying of guns as they do in Yank land. OMG how money talks. Its the gun makers themselves who make the laws about firearms not the government. Back in the day I recall seeing idiotic wannabees carrying a gun. I'll never forget one occasion in a pizza shop with my 1st wife a young coloured lad came in. His coat unbuttoned and guess what? the handle of a gun on show. I noticed it and he saw me and I looked him straight in the eye. He shathimself looking scared and ran out. The thing is pay attention to idiotic wannabes. They're the ones who carry a weapon but are scared. Similar with those who exhibit road rage. But as we are now a lot older etc etc we can't react like we once did. What you said to that pillock Stephen is bang on. I've ordered a shirt with wording akin to 'At my age life in prison means nothing' . Luckily as we mature so does our use of words but in the right way and manner. I now hate Manchester with a passion. I hate making deliveries there. I'll only go back there a couple times a year for a meet up of us rockers.

The Teyes does have android auto and the other one if memory serves. I was going to get one this year for mine but not to be unfortunately 😞

Hi Sam. Good you've got back here and settled in your new place. As for infotainment. Teyes CC3 is what you need. The best for your car by far. There's a thread by Ahmed on here which is all you'll need to install.

Hi Steve. Sorry I have to disagree. Celestial Black is the Best colour although not available on the 250 but on the 300h. I am a lover of black cars. The 4 Lexus cars I've had have been black.

Hi Sean and welcome to the best Lexus forum there is. Congratulations on your purchase. Hopefully you know about the dedicated NX section of the forum. I recommend you get in there. Read the myriad of threads which interest you. All your queries will be found there. What made you choose the NX and Lexus in particular? What was your previous car?

Hi Nick. It is recommended that you get Techstream. This is the Only diagnostic program that works 100% with your car. Other generic ones only work at best 70ish%. What you could do for now is disconnect the battery and leave disconnected for 30-45 minutes. This usually clears codes But if they appear again Techstream will tell you exactly what the problem is and what needs to be replaced. One thing I suggest, and to all is250 owners, is to take the multiplug off the ABS unit and check the condition of the pins of the plug and the sockets of the ABS unit. I unfortunately found water ingress and rust in the sockets which meant the ABS unit had to be replaced. Scarey yes but it happened to my car and that had a Full Dealer service history.

Hi Gary. Although it's been quite a while since I last had a Lexus Hybrid but even so I've read on quite a few forums that faults like yours are down to the Start button itself. Yes your car is new but 'dodgy' switches/buttons are getting to be a common occurrence.

Hi Steve and welcome to the best Lexus forum there is. Excellent choice the gen 3 RX. I had the f-sport and I loved it. Unfortunately due to economic situation I was in it had to go otherwise I'd still have it. I'm sure you know about the RX section of the forum. Enjoy.

In all seriousness Lucasz the time and expense in finding a V8 engine and All the wiring that'll be needed aswell as fabrication of mounts etc you may aswell buy an isf and save yourself money and stress.

Good point Gary. Not as simple as it first seems 🤔

I think it looks outstanding. Welldone to the person who did the custom work. 👌👍🤘

Hi Eric. Why do you want to put high profile tyres on your is250? They will upset the handling of the car. Stick with the standard size.

Tom. Do take heed of the advice from Lucas. He's done many mods to his is250's and he knows his stuff.

Hi Tom. Welcome to is250 ownership. You really k ow what your doing so I doff my cap to you. You've done some excellent work on your car and plan to carry on too. You'll have no problem getting 200k miles out of it. That car will go well beyond. Since you took the inlet manifold off did you notice any carbon build up in the ports?

You won't get a reply as the guy who started this thread hasn't been back on since October 2016. If you have an issue with your car and you're unsure then please do start a new thread here in the gen 2 IS. You're more likely to get plenty of feedback.

Also it could be the Faraday pouch not fully sealed or become worn out. They wear out, so to speak, some within weeks or months.

Hello Andrew and welcome to the best Lexus forum there is. Lovely looking car you have. Nice to know you've been a Lexus fan for a number of years. What made you wait for the NX and not get an older car like the incredible is250? What was your previous car?

Hi Rik. You asked about how to check the cars service history. From memory you need to go on the Lexus website and look under 'my Lexus ' and register your car. You need to provide the log book number and give your car a name. From this you click on your car and within navigate to that cars service history. It'll show All services and repair and warranty work done by Lexus. It won't however show independent garage work. Like I said this info is from memory. I'm sure someone will come along and correct me. I could tell from the site the service history of the 4 Lexus cars I've owned.

Eh up Mahmood I wish you well in your looooooong trip. I hope you post some noisy tunnel excursions lol. I miss my is250 so you be careful in places where d**heads litter the roads with their abominable 'driving'.

What diagnostic system did you actually use Poor? If it was Techstream then fine. If not then you've wasted money on whatever diagnostic system you got. Techstream will show hidden codes too. I've had a few diesels in my time but I've never come across your symptoms. How long have you had the car? Why did you choose the diesel?
