i have had this happen twice now, its the piece of trim thats on the outside of the window that fits to the door and window with the rubber on it,the trim works loose when you open and close the window and creates a small gap allowing the air in,the first time it happened the trim nearly blew off, it started again this week. you have to fully open the window and bang the trim down with your hand and this should cure it

there after you buying a new car,your car is probably too old to go on there forecourt and what they would offer in p/x would offend you, i will look forward to your post once you have paid them a visit

yes it can be disabled my lexus centre offered to do it when i had the same problem.

it depends on your circumstances as which is the best way to buy, the best way is cash but not many people have £20,000 + laying around. i would try getting quotes from your bank and lexus to compare apr rates, you could also consider a pcp which are becoming more and more popular, and are a good idea if you like a new car every 2/3 years. when you collect your car they will try and sell you gap insurance which will be around £600 after a few times of saying no i got it down to £300 but decided against taking it out. The bigger the depsot the better as this will reduce your payments, and haggle on the pice of the car they have around 5% in the cost of a new one which they can knock off, i got around £1800 of mine

i have to agree with the ecu mod, i had it done around 4 weeks ago on my 220d which is the 07 model, iam able to drive at 70mph in sixth gear without the engine labouring to much.i havnt had any better fuel consumption. all dealers should no about the ecu mod as mine was done without my knowledge and i was told afterwards.

it may not be your fault, this has happened twice to me he first time i didnt realise if you press and hold the button they open, i took the cear to the dealers who told me about that feature, however i was told that there are a large number of people who this has happened to and it may be linked to radio waves. the second time it happened the car was parked in the garage and there is no way i had pressed the button. I had a courtesy car a couple of weeks ago which belonged to one of the salesmen, in the gloove box was a letter from lexus GB asking them to keep a log if this happened to them of when and where it happened?

i have an 07 model and it has had the rattle and fuel economy problems,i think its a problem that will continue on all new cars for a while

i have a 2007 model,the ecu has been re programed because of low fuel consumption i was getting around 29.9mpg.after the re programe there is no improvment in mpg and it appears to have got worse

put some black tape over the sensor,?

i had my ecu re programmed, before i was getting around 29.9 mpg over the course of a week,at the end of the following week after re programming the display showed 28.9 mpg? i drive the same route to work and back at the same time every day,re programming hasnt done anything to my car to improve the mpg, it appears to have made it slightly worse,and definately not better. lexus have said i wont see much of a difference until the summer when the car will have got more miles on it? i feel the same way as a few others on this forum in the way i feel i was mis sold the car, if i had known about the mpg problem i would have gone for the petrol version.

automatic headlights are standard on all is models

sorry to hear about your problems mate, i too have had a few ratlles which were fixed apart from the one in the dash which still makes a loud cracking noise from time to time. have you tried using a different dealership who may be more helpfull in resolving your problems. i would also contact lexus GB good luck

im a joiner but now run a kitchen/bedroom manufacture/ installation company we do work all over the uk in new build propertys

Damer we stayed at the sol de plata on the north coast, which has now changed its name to the breezes puerto plata and casino resort, is this the one your going to?

Damer we are going in august to the lti punta cana which is on the east coast, we have been before and stayed on the north coast in sosua. where are you staying?

just booked my holiday for this year to the dominican republic, any body else got one planned

i have been using carnauba gold on mine, its had about 4 coats since i got it and it looks great. should i be using something else before or after i have applied it?

rpb as yet i havnt noticed a difference in fuel consumption, generally over the course of a week the average i was getting was 29.9 mpg, i will let you no what im getting next week. with regards driving, the car does feel better to drive i cant say why but i can tell something has been done to it.

Jambo i didnt speak to the technician, but the service manager showed me his report, it said he had re-programed the ecu, i asked why and he said it improves mpg and gives a better drive?

took my car in saturday for the rattles in seats to be fixed and the trim which was falling off,got a new gs 300 for the day,when i picked it up there was a list of other rattles that the technician had noticed and fixed, he had also re-programmed the ECU ? which he said would sort out the poor fuel consumption.has anybody else had this done? the car also feels different to drive than before.

yes the black shiny bit with the rubber on it, cant see how it could have got caught, i thought it may have been the wind as i was driving down the motorway?

i was coming down the M1 and could hear a tapping noise on the window, the trim between the door and glass on the passenger door had come off and was hitting against the glass, anybody else had this problem? it wont go back in place as its now bent.

i start at 7.30am and leave at 5pm, not so lucky as you

check with the day care centre which is by the side of the car on the picture,i bet some of the kids in there are little t**ts

i had a is 200 for 4 years before buying the new is 2 months ago,apart from a few squeeks i prefer the new is,i think the old one is looking a bit dated but its great to drive.
