Bugger....I shall start looking.

Thanks for all your help 😇

Yeah that definitely sounds interesting tbh! Are the manuals available on line? I guess they must be 🤔, so which is the best place to get one?

It is under water inlet on the engine. Are you doing it yourself or taking it somewhere to be done?

thanks for the pictures.....helps a lot 😎

I’ll be doing it myself 🤞

I’ve got a new thermostat coming Saturday so will change it out anyway.......any idea where it is on the engine? I’ve looked at a couple of posts but can’t seem to pin it down 😞

Has anyone on here ever experienced this?

IS220d 2011; The AC has been playing up recently with mainly only blowing very cold air whether the AC is turned on or not and in whatever temp it was set for, great when it was warm outside, not so much when cold. Sometimes when I turned the AC off hot air did come through but not for very long. This afternoon driving from Bristol to Worcester the engine temp gauge was all over the place, quickly got to “normal” as it always does but then on the M5 whenever I accelerated hard to overtake it quickly climbed to just below the red and then settled back down to just above “normal” when I eased off a bit! Before today the gauge was only ever on “normal”, never climbed above it.

I’m thinking the thermostat might have failed in the closed position, hence the rapid rise and fall of the temp gauge and the AC not working, but any other ideas/causes would be greatly appreciated.

I got key from ebay and locksmith basildon experts have cut and programmed a key for me.

Thanks for that buddy.

Can I ask how much he charged to programme it? A locksmith in Worcester has quoted about £120

Looks like a fog light?

Hi Steve,

How can I tell if I have the Master Key? It does have the 3 buttons on it, never realised it did the glovebox though!

Thanks David.

i’ll go for the one on eBay and go down the locksmith route to try and get it reprogrammed, if that don’t work I’ll have to bite the bullet and probably speak to Lexus dealer.

Evening All,

Many thanks for having me as a member.

I’ve just purchased a 61 plate IS200 D and this is probably the first of many questions to come;

It only had 1 key with it but on eBay there is an exact one for sale for just under £60, is this a good price and can I get the new key programmed?

Thanks in advance

Jeff
