    I used to drive in Sport mode a lot because I prefer the steering feel. That got me 42 mpg. I've converted to Eco mode and now get 50mpg. it's a bit sluggish when accelerating esp up a hill but otherwise driving gently is better. Wish I could change the steering separately though.

    Hi I have an IS300h and have obtained an OE Lexus roof rack for the previous model (2007-2015 IS220/250). It is brand new and unused. The question is will it fit my IS, please?

    We could take bets on which happens first. This ^ or hydrogen powered cars This is coming soon as the systems are already in development. We are also developing self-alignment so the car will proition itself accurately over the plate. 3-4 years away...

    Yes I do mixed driving and get about 32mpg. This means about 320 miles to the light after which you've got another 30 odd to 0miles on the trip and a further 30 odd miles to nearly empty. On a longer run you'll easily get 400 miles from a tank.

    mpg miles gal l cost/l cost/£ 32 15000 469 2128 1.32 2809 38.5 15000 390 1768 1.40 2476 about £300 per year. I concur with Normski2 and have had exactly the same experience and mpg with the two cars. When people say I have to have a diesel because I do XXXX miles per year I do wonder if they've worked it out. The depreciation on a car is going to be of the order of 10x this value...

    I have gone from an SE-L to and Advance and I can honestly maange without the seat cooling, seat memory, sunblind and lovely scuff plates but I DO miss that dipping mirror! It was great for getting reall near a kerb without scuffing the alloys...

    Could it be a bad earth from the battery? I had to get the earth lead changed on my 2006 IS last year because of this.

    or an Advance.

    I've got some snake oil you can buy too.

    Yes, and you can swap with me for my 18" Baransus if you wish.

    Hi Mine is the same too 220D. My VSC light came on laso, 'Check VSC' in the middle of a journey. Turned the car off and on again and never seen it since - car has done 69K on a 06 plate.

    I'm afraid this stupid bloody airbag light is a very specific requirement of EuroNCAP. You get 3 extra points for this and as everyone wants 5 star child protection they are starting to have to comply. None of the car manufacturers think it is good. http://www.euroncap.com/cache/file/e73d84b...Version-1.1.pdf clause 6.1.2

    It's a well known problem - mine did it too. Dealer will fix this under recall/warranty.

    Gary - see pm send me an e-mail. the quality is better than the aux socket - just like any ipod connection - quality is better off the bottom plug than out the top. It's a good as an mp3 CD, nowhere near as good as 'proper' CD.

    Hi well I have 3 silver ones and one gunmetal one (as Lexus Brum changed one for me under warranty) Trouble is they say there aren't two different colours so I must be wrong. Can you point me to somewhere that will deomnstrate to them they've changed from silver to dark gunmetal starting from late 2007? Any help, much apreciated. cheers Stuart

    Well, Lexus Birmingham have fixed my problem by fitting a different module (?) so now I get the playlist, track names and track list as Scott's. I am pleased!
  19. smyggy
    Here is a pic of my screen to compare with Scott's. No playlist name and no track names! this makes it next to useless. I've now tried it with a new 4th Gen ipod as well and it is the same problem.
  20. smyggy
    Scott I have a Lexus ipod integration kit fitted too. However mine does not have the track list button, nor the name of the track. I've downloaded the latest apple software on my 3rd gen 30gB ipod and it is all up to date. Can you confirm theat yours is the lexus std kit and what ipod have you got? Does anyone else have this issue (Is just the 'CD' playlist numbers and no track/playlist names?
  21. smyggy
    Mine too. No solution so far....
  22. smyggy
    MY IS300 has no/intermittent left channel when playing any CD, but plays through both left and right speakers no problem using either the radio (inc ipod connection through aerial jack) or the tape deck. I asked about it on here but no solution to date. suggests a failure between the CD and the rest of the stereo but there is nothing external I can find. So I'd check all input your sources first before you accuse the speakers or speaker connectors, just in case.

    Does anyone on here know the whereabouts of the real Car used by Steve Coogan for the 2002 alan Partridge series? It's a Stracarron Blue IS300 (like mine - which is still for sale!) Stills show the registration GU51 YXJ which I suspect is a real registration number. (they used to use fake ones once upon a time for TV series)

    I did mine with J Coates and I'd recommend them but they may not be too near to you? Don't bother with the packages that promise a pass in a certain time. Instead have an assessment with at least two places (about £25), this means you get two opinions on how many days you'll need and you can assess their professionalism etc. Ask what their pass rate it (overall is about 35-40%) Ask for a discount. Cheers
