i love me IS220d

never had any problems with it

Did you not drive the ISF?

Agree on the IS250C- nice car to pose in but it is sluggish.

i wanted too but they would only let people over 30 drive it gutted

Two lads aged 23 turned up they couldnt drive anything!!!

Did anyone attend this.

I went myself and drove the:

IS250 C - thought i was nice car but bit sluggish off the mark - dont think i would buy this car

IS250 sport - Like this car and if i was to get a another Lexus would look at this

RX450 - really impressed with this - was a lovely car to drive and surprised at the room inside this car

I am going to the Liverpool one -

How long do you drive the cars for?

I was in the same situation.

I am glad i did it but gutted it has to go due to company car.

On the motorway i was averaging 38mph and around the City i was getting 30mph

I have No regrets

I have just got a new job which means i get a company car.

I have been with Lexus for 6 years previously owning a IS 200 SE now with a IS220D.

I have only had the IS220d since Aug 2009 so a bit gutted.

I have tried to get the mrs to sell her car and keep mine but not working.

So its going up for sale :(

I had the Nokia CK car kit installed if someone wants to take this out and install it into there own car then PM

Gutted!!

Linux experts - Do we have any on here?

Need some help?

ye i am on it tag is sootylfc

I have had the Nokia CK100 fitted to mine

no problems with it

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay

There is in the IS250 so i can assume that this would be the same for the IS220D

Haven't got mine anymore, so I can't check, but my recollection is that there is a manual switch on the light in addition to the auto switch that works when the boot opens. If it is switched off at the manual switch, the boot remains in darkness whatever the position of the lid.

cheers this sorted it

Is there meant to be a light in the boot when its open on the IS220D 2006???

Gaz

i have just had a nokia Ck100 installed for £196 which mutes the radio and comes out car speakers

if you want the name of the company PM

Hi, thanks for the reply, what made you choose the Nokia over the Parrot (which most folks seem to install nowadays) ?

Cheers.

I didnt want a screen on show in my car - just that risk of people thinking its a sat Nav - i am very pleased with the Nokia kit

Cheers

I am thinking of fitting the Nokia CK-100 Car Kit to my IS220d

For this to work through the stereo do i need to buy the ISO leads -if so where is the best place to ge this from?

I have just found these http://www.blueunplugged.com/p.aspx?p=119730

I fitted the CK 7 kit to my IS 200 no problem

Can this be done with time and care ?

hi guys i would like some advice,i have a 2006 is 220d with 18,500 miles on the clock.

and everytime i brake i get a very light squeaking noise from the brakes ,but it stops

when i don,t brake (obviously),i have checked the pads and disc,s on all the wheels and

they all seem in good condition :question:

Did you fix this?

Hi, new member struggling to navigate this, fingers crossed eh?

I have a 220d (18K miles) and the front tyres are wearing unevenly - outer edges wearing faster than central zone. I have been told that I need to check the pressures... well duh!

I note that this in not uncommon, in the history on this site I came across this:

There is a problem with the 'dynamic' geometry on the IS200 and IS300, you can go back to Lexus every week and they will not solve it for you! reason is that all dealers have to respect the 'Lexus' set-up, but this is in error. If you track back here in 'Wheels and Tyres' you will see how to resolve your problem........ if not send me a PM and i will

Seems to me this is more likely the cause (apparantly Maserati's are set up for the track and exhibit similar problems). I am not a Leadfoot Lenny, I get 39mpg so other than slightly over inflating the tyres would be interested in some more info on the above, try as I might I cannot figure out how to follow the thread. The tyres are Potenza's and seem pretty good. Rears are fine.

Thanks in anticipation,

David

how small are we talking?

cut any size really. text under 5mm in height does get a bit tricky but can be done.

try and get me some measuments and il have a go.

i will get it to you tomorrow as i am going to paint mine then i think

ok thanks

where is the best place to get them for the lexus IS220D

Do not believe they are available. I gave dimensions for the front calipers to Janey a while ago but have yet to see any in the LOC shop.

The rear calipers have too small a surface area to apply decals.

Yep Steve & I did look at them to hopefully get some made up but the rears are tiny and it just wasn't a big enough surface - it would be so small that you probably wouldn't even notice it.

The problem with producing something that small but still readable is the cutting out as it would have to be pretty intricate ;)

Is it going to happen then or shall i look elsewhere

I was looking at fitting parking sensors to my is250 and came across http://www.parkingdynamics.co.uk/ and their PD1 which is like a strip which you mount behind the bumper, which means no holes and full coverage.

Has anyone got any experience of this? Too good to be true?

Thanks in advance

did you end up getting these
