Did you get your starting problems fixed? Are you still chasing this with Lexus Bradford or are you just getting rid of it quick? ← Yeah got the starting problem fixed, starts every time, no hassle....The car still needs running in, but no complaints about it now... It would however be nice to see lexus create a nice powerful diesel in the Lexus IS range....try to corner the market, alot of money involved in the diesel industry..

What colour are you after for your new lexus..???? Ive got one for sale Scarletti Red 2004 '53' Plate, less than 3000 miles

I had a problem with starting the car in the morning too, started off every so often, then it came to a point where it wldnt start everyday, got the RAC to tow it to the Lexus dealers... They put the computer on and it turned out that the key transponder wsnt reading the keys and therfore not disabling the immoboliser, so if i was you get it into the lexus dealers...during this time it would read the keys sometime and then being tempremental a couple of hours later. but now its purfect, starts every time

Hello, Im a relatively new lexus owner, i have been surfing and reading about problems and praises for the lexus IS200. And i was astonished at the Post regarding alloys and the constant corrosion of the alloys. Can you please go into more detail to how and where the alloys are more likely to corrode, its very dissapointing to here that the alloys are so open to corrosion in this day and age...!!!!...however saying that if i dnt wash the car everyday i make the effort to wash and clean the wheels as they are wat attracts the eye's of the passerby and other motorists....!!! So can anyone tell me about the new IS200 and wen its likely to come out, and point me to any articles, web pages and photos

is anyone going to help sell my car then..??? the only problem is Was the key responder..... the notchyness i asked about is the norm so no problem there, getting used to that anyway, been reading some of the replies so ive started giving it abit more revs before i change gear seems to work better... 2004 53 Plate Scarletti red 2300 miles looking at the 17K mark

Well Guys these are the cars ive had previously. Toyota MR2 Mitsubishi Evo Subaru Impretza Golf GT TDI Passat Highline GT TDI Audi A4 Cars I have driven: (all driven for for than a month each) BMW X5 BMW M3 Merc CLK and SLK Porshe carrera 4 Audi TT Range Rover So i wld say im in a good position to remark on the difference in drives.. The worst car has to be the Audi TT, the handling is crap, more breakdowns than a skoda previous to VW taking charge. Im not saying the lexus is totally crap, its looks is second to none, ive always thrived on its looks, but have been dissapointed with the drive and lack of power, must be the rear wheel drive... Yes the transponder has only been the problem with the car, but was very suspicious with the notchy gear change which i continously took it to the lexus dealers, who in turn told me its the norm, like many of u have told me on my one other thread. this was mainly due to not knowing wat to exspect i suppose... Never liked Fords..wld never touch them....

The car is on the Road everyday....

Thanks for all the response.. The car was taken to Lexus Bradford where they carried out the Diagnostic check which highlighted the fault.... Apparently dnt no the technical wording for it, but it was the Key reading device within the engine that was not functioning properly...the part was ordered and replaced....So fingers crossed will find out tmrw mrng if it starts or not.....!!! Courtesy cars..!!!!! dnt make me laugh, 2 week waiting list for them apparently, so if it breaks down again, u cnt get a courtesy car the same day/week, had RAC to rent a car out for me...!! Can anyone out there help me sell my Lexus IS200 SE 2004 '53' Plate as im not a gold member and not able to post the car on the website...... PLEASE...PLEASE....

Well i got the RAC to tow the :tsktsk: thing to my local lexus dealer...they put it on the computer and a fault with the key reading device was located, so the part has been ordered and the work being carried out today.......service has been good BUT why on earth has something like that gone rong with it in the space of 9 months... I must admit its the worst car ive driven....!!!!....will never buy a lexus ever again, anyone wnt to buy mine..??? Can anyone help me sell it as im not a gold member and cannot place adds on the website

Hello anybody out there that can help me.... I have noticed recently with my IS200 SE 2004 '53' Plate with less than 2500 miles on the clock that the :tsktsk: thing wont start..... It takes numerous attempts to start it in the mornings....This mrng it wldnt start at all, just left it for an hour or so then tried it again, on the 3rd attempt this time it started... Can anyone shed some light on this problem....the more i think about it the more i think lexus hav sold be a dud car....!!!

Is it right to say that if i wanted Lexus to change the gearbox oil after they said it may help that i hav to pay for it

Anyone willing to change my gearbox oil for me....wanting to use the Redline oil 75W90 see if it does really help this nothchyness

Where can i get hold of this Red Line MT-90 from for my gearbox...??? Any places in the UK, West Yorkshire..??? Is it ready available at the Lexus/Toyota garages ?????

How hard is it to change gearbox oil....???? is alot of work involved, is it best for lexus to change the oil for me and me be charged at a ridiculous rate, please advise....!!!

Well ive just been told that a gearbox oil change wld help the notchy noise im getting, but for them to change it, it wld COST ME....anyone out there that has been charged to change gearbox oil after complaining about ths gearbox noise, just for the sake of trial and error
