Hi Shada, you are right it will be the 12v Battery I had the same issue when I had my is300h I had the Battery changed under warranty by Lexus 

Fitted these the weekend after a little adjustment of the lens to reduce distortion on lettering 

Great Move! I changed from an is300h F Sport to the RC F Sport 2 months ago and love it.has really suprised me on how many people stop and comment on it being a great looking car.

I’ve gone for white exterior  with rose leather interior.very similar inside to an is300h f sport just some additional mods lane warning,tyre pressure on info screen the sports + mode is super nice on the open road very responsive but will relay my experience after a couple of weeks driving it about and report the pros and cons that a see.

Well had my is300h F Sport for nearly 3 years now been a great car have really liked it.But its now time for a change .So Goodbye Lexus is300h F sport.......................

Hello to The RC300h F Sport!!!

Sorry ignore the above when driving to work this morning and with  my lights on,the  jets for the headlights started working.might be a coincidence or just an air lock but definitely working ok.  

I dont know whether I just havent noticed this before or it is something to do with the update but I have now found that the headlighht washers now only work when the headlights are on.I only noticed this due to the fact that my mate has a convertable BMW and i always use the jets when hes behind me with his roof down.and the headlight washers create a great wall of water.

My car came with Bridgestone Turanza ER33 which wear very little, have a great rim protector but were very noisy and lacked steering feedback. I then switched to continental sportcontact 5 and noise was a little less but steering feel was amazing, razor sharp! These were prone to punctures and had no real side wall so the rims were vulnerable. I have just bought Bridgestone Turanza T001 Evo (specifically Evo) and these are the quietest so far. Steering a little less sharp than before but better than the original ER33- a good compromise between the previous two and I like the quieter ride. 

on my old is250 i always went with the Continental sport contact 5's but decided to go with the OEM Bridgestone's when i need to change my tyres on my is300h  as they seem to wear less that the Continentals and as I mainly do motorway driving. if the road noise gets a bit noisy then i just turn the stereo up a notch.

Standard F-Sport alloys on the IS300h are 18"

Tyres are 225/40 r18 on the front and 255/35 r18 on the rear. 

Mine are as above

That's odd as the packet is for 10. It's also clearly pictured so I would argue mis-selling 

Yep there the ones! even received it in the original Lexus packet with 10 on it with only 1 in it. Tbh I was gonna complain but couldn’t be arsed in the end.

The OEM ones are silver plastic and available for £5-8 for 10 on ebay via Lexus UK.

Please Take Note, I ordered what I thought was a set of 10 silver plastic OEM dust caps from the Lexus eBay shop last month for £6.35(£3.36 for the dust caps and £2.99 P&P)however when I received my order it only had 1 dust cap in the pack and the invoice was for £3.36 for 1!!! 

 The 3 flashes have always annoyed me so just changed to the 5 flashes. Thanks for the info 

Just ordered mine 

Hi All

Has anyone had an issue with their cover plate for the filler cap coming loose? Believe someone has tried to pull it open and i noticed when i was washing the car yesterday that the plate was sticking out slightly and a bit wobbly.when i slide it off found that one of the little molded tabs was broken at the hinged end on the plastic flap.Refitted it as i needed to get to work so had to leave it until this afternoon. I took it off again and bent the small cutouts on the plate that slide onto the plastic tabs, put a bit of plastic glue in the area where the broken tab is and it seems ok. Will have to trial it for a while but does it warrant a visit to Lexus at some point as my car is still under warranty until November? should i chance my arm to see if they would  replace it as faulty?

Had The same issue last month took into Lexus and had the screen replaced under warranty

Think its classed as wear and tear but I'd chance my arm and ask at your dealership. I have car mats in mine and these take the brunt of and wear. I've just brought a replacement set off ebay for £40(over £100 from Lexus)  

 

Hi.. just wondered which mats you bought. I'm looking for a new set for my RX400 as my drivers mat went through a couple of years ago. Been using carpet cut into the correct shape ever since.

I was looking on eBay and found a seller  hills_of_woodford_toyota  they seem to sell Toyota and lexus items there is also the lexus eBay shop. I fell lucky and  found a set of genuine is300h mats but the lexus eBay shop was alot more expensive but they do have more items the link is on the lexus uk website under OWNERS-Genuine parts  http://stores.ebay.co.uk/LexusOfficialStore?_ga=1.72984595.1605459616.1487431086

 hope this helps

I have a 2014 IS with 17000 miles on the clock. Above the footrest a hole has developed in the carpet. The plastic under the carpet is now exposed.

I never had this issue before with my previous Toyota cars. It is also disappointing for a Lexus.

Has anyone else had this issue? Is it covered by the warranty?

I bought some dye for my black seats and a very good match there has been a thread regarding this before.

Although I don't know whether they do a lexus red I do know that they colour match might be worth an email.

Now that service plan looks like something that would be interesting,  what I've been quoted (but not taken up yet) is £1001 for 2 intermediates and 1 full service, payable up front or in 20 monthly £50.05 payments.  That's about £56 more than just paying for each service?!?  Even the salesman said it made no sense and he needed to check with the service manager when he came back in this week.

I Had the Service plan When I got Mine 14 Month Old Lexus Is  last Feb £25.50 over 36 Months for 2 Intermediates & 1 full service and 2 MOT's. The reason i went for it was Budgeting I found it better to pay the Monthly payment (which was almost the amount I was Paying for Car Tax on my old Is) rather than pay it in a lump sum each year.

Just noticed that I have 2 patches  that have appeared on the multimedia screen in both bottom corners not as noticeable when screen on but when off very visible. Didn't notice it this week as dark when going and coming back from work.I don't use anything to clean my dash only dry or slightly damp microfiber. Going to take it to Lexus in the week, but has anyone else had this happen?

Screen Being replaced on Wednesday under warranty

Anti-glare coating coming off. Yes, happens on all IS and RC models.

Its a very thin coating and will come off with damp microfiber use over time. Not really needed either - I just took the whole thing off with some ammonia free glass cleaner (loaded with IPA) and its not made any difference to glare but it sure does look much much better

 Thanks rayaans,can it be re-coated?
