  1. We seem to get much milder winters (not like the old days), so if it is Minus 5, you just wait a couple of days and it's plus 12 degrees (typically inconsistent English weather) Yea like when it snowed earlier in the year and a few days later I was washing the car in my shorts in the sunshine. NOT a pretty sight!
  2. Thanks for the replies Guys. With regards to the Sat-Nav... It really is bad. I do about 300 miles a day on average as a rep; it never lets you know about jams until you are literally on top of them... if at all! Example: M25 was an absolute pig on Monday morning in both directions between junctions 3 and 8. Sat-Nav said that there were no problems on route; however, just before I joined one of the worst jams in recent weeks, it said slow traffic ahead before it was too late. After sitting in traffic for an hour or so, I managed to get off at the next junction and join the A25 headed for Sevenoaks, the A25 was not moving either and the Lexus said that there were no problems? In addition, I find the lack of full postcode search really annoying and sometimes a road name cannot be found. I always carry my PDA/TomTom as backup now, shame really because Lexus said that the SatNav package was meant to be the dogs dangly bits. The fine black powder in the glove box it really odd and the thing rattles incessantly... not a loud rattle, just a really annoying one that you can hear with the stereo off. How do you guys start your cars? I press the button once, wait a couple of secs, press it again (dials come on), wait for the display to show "check completed", depress the clutch fully (light turns green), press the button and... nothing. Sometimes it works first time and others it takes 2 or 3 attempts.
  3. I've had my IS220D for a couple of months now and have clocked up 6K miles, anyway, I was wondering if anyone had experienced the following: Rattle coming from glove box (have to hold firmly shut to prevent) Having problems starting vehicle, even though the clutch is fully depressed and LED is green Black/grey soot in the glove box... basically, everything inside is getting covered in a fine black powder? WEIRD! Vibrating rear-view mirror (known problem) Car sounds like a friggin tank when idle... will this improve after first 10K service? Sat-Nav is bloody useless for avoiding traffic jams and can't find some addresses/has no full postcode search facility. Overall I'm impressed with the car, it's just the above really bugs me.
  4. Seems to change with temp variations and does rattle with glove box door open too. Going to call local dealer tomorrow & book it in.
  5. As per subject really. Had the car for nearly a month now, and glove box rattles incessantly. It can be stopped from holding the glove box door firmly shut, however, this is obviously not practical and I can't see any adjustments that can be made to the latch? Anyone?
  6. You have to load the numbers seperately for the voice tags...have you done this? Must admit I have to load a few more 'cos at the moment I've just got my immediate family and the inevitable 'phone home'. You can tag each number with whatever tag you wish, but preferably something short e.g "her indoors" I have set up my phone book and speed dials. I had to copy each contact as a business card, which took about 20-30 seconds for each, the whole process literally took hours. So how do you enter the numbers for voice recognition? I have read the manual.... must be incredibly stupid or something.
  7. Just got back from a 250 mile round trip day out. Great car, have not driven the petrol so I can't make a comparison. Yes the engine suffers from turbo lag and really needs to be driven hard to get the most from the engine in terms of responsiveness. Still can't get the voice commands to work with the Bluetooth telephone function... will go to local dealer tomorrow and ask for a demo. It just keeps saying voice tag empty after pressing speak button, saying dial by name and then pressing the button again as instructed?
  8. Just got my brand spanking new IS220D... great car, however, the rear view mirror vibrates like mad, even without the stereo on. In addition, I have a few questions: Does anyone know how to get the telephone voice recognition dials working? I followed the instructions to the T but it just keeps saying voice tag empty?? There is a slight 'pinking' noise when I accelerate... is this normal? Could just be because it's a diesel or because the engines new? Does anyone have any tips for me about my new car? :) Many thanks in advance.
