Alfalfa

Changed the rear end reflex to park and brake light.

Uppdate. Removed the doorpanel and put some oil on the doorhandle, works perfekt.

I bought this and putt itt in a free button space, you can se the volt on the Battery and also the charging volt when driving.

Personally I would avoid WD40 (water dispersant 40days) and use a silicone spray or grease. 

I will try that, had a new experience with the door handle yesterday with minus 10 celsius the door would'nt open at all, the handle on the outside and inside did'nt move the locking at all, but when i moved the lock button i could open the door again from both sides, but then the central lock did'nt lock that door. So it seems to be some grease or oil in the right place that will solve the problem.

Alfalfa the mot is a UK certificate of road worthiness which is probably called something else in other parts of Europe.

Thanks.

A little oil...light machine oil or something like WD40 wouldn't be a bad idea to try. A little at a time though!!

If you can, try and have a look at the mechanism to see if anything is stuck in there...leaf debris perhaps? or similar.

Having oiled the area give it a few pulls back and forth to work the oil into the moving parts.

Hopefully, the handle will then return to its stop position.

Hope so, i wil try to take of the inside panel and use som WD40 or 556, but i think i leave it like this until spring.

Note. If you have an MOT due anytime soon then afraid this problem will be a failure point.

Sorry but what is the meaning , MOT. My english is not the best.

My outside left back outside door handle dont get back to the corect posision vhen used, stop about 1-2cm from the corect posison and i have to push it to get it right, i am thinking that some oil vould help but like to ask here first, the funktion is ok and i think the problem is bigger in the winter time due to cold weather. Not a big problem but nice to get it fixed.

Ive just realised my IS220d belt doesnt go around the AC, which belt would this be if i where to need a replacement?

Try to find former owner or car history. The belt was changed att a time. Maybe some nr. on the belt.

Took the car to the Lexus garage today for Flushing, but they could'nt do it because of a missing fitting for the flushtube to the gearbox, but before they noticed the missing fitting they already had drained the pan, so they had to refill the drained quantity oil, maybe its placebo but i believe the gearbox is reacting faster on throttle movement  (gear down) but because of the first snow this winter i had to be a little gentle, but I am 99% sure that something is changed for the better, going to take a full flush in about 14 days so maybe its getting even better, my only little criticism on the car have been that with a kickdown the car used to much time to react compared to an earlier owned car(Volvo) but I believe this issue is changed for the better.

It's worthwhile replacing the fluid in the gearbox. Lexus advice every 60k for heavy use applications. If you remove the sump pan and strainer it will drain most of the oil.

 

According youtube and comments only a small part will be changed by that procedure. But i dont know how much oil it is in the gearbox. You have to drain the gearbox 5-6 times and still you have not completely removed everything of the old oil, If you can do this yourself its possible a cheaper way to do this, but going to a garage and pay for the job 5-6 times is probably  more expensive than thake a flush on the gearbox.

 

 

Today i ordered time for flushing of my 2006 Is250. 250000km on the counter. why?  From first contact with Lexus in Norway i was told to not do anything with  it , so i talked to a former owner of my car that also is a mechanic for a Toyota store, he advised me to flush and told me that Toyota Landcruiser also had lifetime limit on gearbox oil, that have been changed to flush at some km, so i did call another Lexus store in Norway about this issue, he advised me to flush the gearbox because of the high miliage on the car, so i searched the net about Aisin that manufacture the gearbox, their advice was to flush or refill( not sure ) every 40000km.

After this info i decided to do a flush on my gearbox on November 8.  After that i will let you all know about the user benefit from this, if any. After mu finding i realy dont understand the do nothing vith it from Lexus.

How often do you charge the Battery? I replaced my Battery 3 weeks ago and have a usb with volt meter and after 14 days with only short trips i did go for an 1 hour trip, the charging volt was 14.2v allmost all the way and did go down to not charging after 55min. So if you use the car like me with only 10 min trips, charging the Battery maybe once a month will make your Battery happy and last longer.

Do anyone know if its possible to remove the DVD HINT message that occur on the screen everytime you start the DVD player? 

Acording Lexus Norway they have never changed oil on a Lexus Is 250 unless there was a problem with the gearbox.

99.99% sure its the fuse.

Ok, thanks.

Thanks. I orderes one but not reciwed yet, hope i newer need it.

Thi tread is about digiitizer and lcd screen put togeter as on unit, cost 10 times more but you dont need to separate the screens.

Do anyone knov if the 2006 Is250 have a conector for towbar wire harness in the trunk, if so which side in the trunk?

You're far better off spending £300 on an aftermarket unit from AliExpress. Android head unit with google maps, music etc. It's bigger too

If it had DAB it could be intresting, Norway have stopped the FM broadcasting.

Thanck you Beamish, i thinck they are similar, i sent the picture of your unit to the store, if they in doubt i order from Ali.
