Thanks for the answer Ahmed, again great work.

Great work as always Ahmed. But is it just a picture angle or seats look very tight fit inside 250?

Hi Vlad, the only way to spray it in there was through the breather hose as if you remove the inlet hose the car just dies.. Will be interesting to see how it looks, anyway im determined to do some manual cleaning.

As per @H3XME recomendation I have tried different product of Liqui Molly. He has generously given it to me to try and i think it worked. Its an Intake valve cleaner but its the one you spray into intake when the car is running. Did it when the car was running, holding it at 3.5k rpm and sprayed hole bottle inside the intake. Car was pouring some white smoke out and then took it for a test drive in manual mode and keeping revs high. It mainly helped to get rid of the egg smell from the cats it probably cleaned some of the carbon as well. But will take intake off soon so will see how 110k engine looks on the inside. Thanks again @H3XME

Dont actualy see a real reason for this to be written off.. Sad for the owner to lose a car this way.

very simple and basic thing to do on a spare time. Took me 30mins on the weekend. Cutting compound with machine, 2 passes and protected by generic ceramic coating.

@Yorkie740Thats a really nice IS mate! Could you share some details on the headlights and what lip is there on the front just bellow the SR lip? Headlights look that they have black housing on the inside.

Well to find the door switch lose was a relief for me as the switch is not faulty. So at least now the door will turn interior lights and will not lock itself with the door being open. But yeah as you said could be something messed up by previous owner, maybe handle was changed.. But the button on the handle works no issues. Even had a missing key lock cap replaced today 15.49 at lexus and its paint matched.

Hi, does anyone know a breakers or have the famous sills for sale for a reasonable price?

Yes door switch was my suspision as it looked faulty. Only came to find today that the screw holding it in was lose and there was no ground to switch.. Once tightened the indicator shows that door is open. But still drivers side keyless entry doesnt work.... Only passanger one works. Anyone had this issue?

It was 4 hour job, dash out and passanger side airbag replacement. I checked it through goverments site thats where I found out.

Hi Guys, hope you had a nice Christmas time. And thanks all for the answers. Just to clarify my car has a sat nav and I couldnt find where to make a bluetooth connection. Also Just checked last time and my keyless works on passanger side, but not the drivers. So later found that my door switch on drivers side is not working as lights dont come on when door opened. Also could be same case with why the auto lights stay on. Will keep you posted. Just had an airbag recall done yesterday, very pleasent visit at Birmingham Lexus, gave a 21 plate lexus to drive for half day untill mine was sorted.

Good evening Guys, just became a new owner of a 2008 IS250 SR. It was never a plan to get this spec of car as being SR they always lack most of the features and only good thing is all the spoilers around the car. This being an SR model surprised me by having almost all features except leather, but it has suede seats which are a lot better than those blue fabric ones. To get to a point, there are few things that i dont realy understand or understand how they work so im asking your guys opinion: 1. Seems like my headunit has no bluetooth connectivity even for the phone.. I thought all is250 had this? Steering wheel has buttons for phone. 2. Cruise control. I have tried it on the motorway and i cant get it to work. Light comes up on the dash but i cant get teh car to hold any speed. 3. Keyless entry. So both key batteries were low. Changed them, car locks with button on handle, but when i approach and pull the handle it doesnt unlock i still need to press it on the key. Also will the car lock itself after i walk away with key? If that helps car was parked with dead battery for 3 weeks and after that i bought it and drove it. Had some weird issues at first but after hours drive all became normal, guess it was going crazy with a dead battery.. 4. Auto lights. If i leave lights on auto after the car is off lights are still on even after i lock the car, and yes i have tried to press lock 2 times and it doesnt go off even after 90s. 5. Auto wipers. Cant seem to understand how they work, as first position in wiper leaver its ether off or maybe its the auto one as wipers go very rarely. Also thought i had illuminated sill covers as they have lexus logo. They were not illuminating so took them off to find no wirring from the sill covers as if they were normal ones. Again thought all metal ones with lexus logo were illuminated. Sorry if my issues sound stupid but im just new to the car and will be thankfull for all your input. Thanks

such a shame... But will it be parted out?

Good day people, im still in the market for IS250 Auto. Been looking recently, viewed few and still cant find any in the spec and condition that I want, was hoping folk here might be able to help. Spec of the car I want is to be 2007 or 2008 pre facelift SE-L with black leather, ML stereo and nav, outside color any apart from silver or light blue. Mileage could be around 100k. If anyone has or knows who is selling one that are not advertised please let me know. Thanks.
