Hello, just got back from picking up a, new to us, LS400 1997 is smashing condition, it's got a Full Service History, timing belt and water pump replaced 20k miles ago, is there anything that I should be watching out for? Initial impressions, boy it's fast and comfy. Thank you for reading

Hello, I want to highlight the FANTASTIC service I have be privileged to receive at Lexus Carlisle. As stated in previous posts by another user, I had an undesirable experience at Carlisle Lexus. This episode has been completely written off today. The car was in getting inspected for a warranty claim. I got a lift to work from friendly man who happens to own an immaculate IS200 LE with outrageously low milage! It was beautiful. I'm Glad I met him just to briefly admire his car. Later my car was left of at my work as requested. I had left the sub key so the driver could take the key back and I would lift later to save them hassle. But the great people that left the car off went to the effort leaving my keys into a busy customer services desk! WOW. That had me impressed. BUT... It got better, I got a call about the warranty work to my sills and it was good news. So couldn't be happier with Lexus Customer Services and their aftersales care absolutely A1 especially considering the car is almost 10 years old with 100 000 on the clock. I will most certainly be buying my IS300h from Carlisle just as soon as I get that teaching post :) Huge Thanks To All The Staff At Carlisle With special thanks to Mr.Denny for the effort he has put into helping me out when the outlook was bleak. and sincere apologies for previous posts which may have been damaging to his name as he has went over and above for me and upon reflection we should consider what people have to listen to and still maintain perfect poise to meet the demands of the Pursuit of Perfection.

Dear All, I just went to have a look at the first time at Lexus. Interested about Hybrid and the RX450h. I must say that I have been lucky to meet the French Salesman from Lexus Edinburgh Sebastien Zamora. The product knowledge and the attention to details were second to none. I have to tell you that the test drive was completely unique and totally engaging regarding the VDIM. The best I have experienced. I walked in Lexus without knowing much about their car... 4 hours later I ordered my first Lexus RX450h... I would like to take this opportunity to recommend the Edinburgh experience and the trully amazing French salesman Sebastien Zamora. Has anyone dealt with him or heard of him before ?

Hi all, In the next 12 months I hope to get a low mileage IS200 Sport, manual transmission for under £5000. I joined the forum to try and learn as much as I can before I commit to buying one. I've already read the buyer's guide, I just need some ideas on what is possible with them in terms of tuning, interior and sound etc. Cheers, Jake

Dear fellow-enthusiasts, "I have an IS 220d (2006) with approx. 65K on it and it recently started to develop a squeaky noise, while pressing and depressing the clutch, the shifting seems flawless and there is no noticeable difference in driving, apart from the noise, which is a bit of a nuisance, when standing at a light and shifting into Neutral or 1st and making people's heads turn..." After various responds to my problem with suggestions, which made my stomach and my wallet turn upside down, I went with the worst expectation and here's a follow-up of my visit to a garage, which I found on the Owner's Club Forum. "Basically, the squeaky noise was coming from the operating arm that drives into a so called cup to operate the clutch, it needed greasing on both ends. Gearbox, clutch and flywheel were all perfectly fine." GBP 16,77 (incl. changing of the front vipers) So for now everything's perfectly fine *knockonwood* Here's the garage's link, if you live close by, it's definitely worth driving out, friendly staff and straight to the point service - no BS (excuse my French). Make sure you ask for Steve. http://www.charlesworthmotors.co.uk/ Drive safely, Cheers.

Swapped my grille today for an Altezza Z-Edition one. I like the LE grille but I've always liked this one too and fancied a change. I wasn't very keen on the idea of my Lexus wearing an Altezza emblem though so I modded an "L" badge off a standard grille to replace it. (BTW, the badge is now properly centered) :) The OEM grille with it's black mesh probably looked a bit "sportier", but overall, I like how classy this one looks.

Guten Abend or I'll stick to Good evening, fellow-Lexus enthusiasts, I have recently moved to the UK and purchased my first and own car - an IS 220d (2006). Previous cars I drove were mainly German manufacturers, BMW 530d E60, BMW 520d F10, VW Gold V etc. ...so initially changing from German manufacturers to the Japanese flagship was a tricky one, BUT, no regrets so far *fingerscrossed* I hope to share my experience here with all my fellow-enthusiasts and to extract as much constructive information as possible - in order to keep my IS rolling flawless. Have a nice evening and drive safely. :)

I finally picked up my mk1 gs300 sport last weekend. Got a great deal due to buying from a friend. the car turned out to be better than expected apart from one serious issue i noticed when driving home in the rain - the wiper stalk was broken. I have on order a second hand complete unit from ebay with both wiper and indicator stalks and it looks like the steering wheel etc will need removing. any help on how to fit this would be highly appreciated if its possible as a DIY. Ive searched through the forums and havent found anything that can help me with this. Heres the first picture of the car but please excuse the quality as it was getting dark Broken wiper stalk ;) I've purchased the car as a small winter project to get on road and then use as a daily driver so i will be keeping this topic updated as the car progresses along with pictures and guides that havent already been covered -
Hi All, Is it difficult to change it at home with some tools? How long would it take? Is a good mechanical screw drivers kit enough for it? -
Hi all, I came across these on YouTube, and thought it would be interesting to share them here. The first video is a short documentary on the assembly of the 2nd-gen Lexus IS at the Fukuoka plant. It's interesting to see one of the chaps at Lexus comparing the quality control to Russian dolls :P The second video has a bit more of a marketing tinge to it, but it still shows the production of the current-generation Lexus LS at the Tahara plant:

Wouldnt it be a good idea if they brought the RX270 to Europe !! Why dont we get the whole range here inc the ES !!

Hi guys and girls, this is my first post on this site :D Iv owned an Ls400 for coming up two years now and have run out of ideas for "chavving" it up! (Not that im a chav, id say more an enthusiast!) i have 19" alloys, tints all around, cat-back longlife exhaust, painted calipers, and no joke... An amtrak american train horn.... Air compressor in boot which powers them under the car where the back-boxes once were.... Which is incredibly loud and ofcourse for off-road/show use only :P. Getting to the point, iv been thinking of getting a spoiler for her, i have seen some on ebay and on american sites but they seem either overpriced or just the boot lip spoiler. I like the BMW style spoilers. Anyone have any idea of a UK stockist or if i can make a spoiler from another car e.g. A BMW fit? P.s. iv attached some pics of her and a short video of the train horn in action. Cheers.trim.Zf0X46.MOVtrim.Zf0X46.MOV

Hi fellow LOC members :) Been on the forums for sometime, but wasn't a owner so i kept quiet :) 'till now My name is Jure, I come from Slovenia and I'm an addict. %&$%#$! can't stop driving my Lex around... :) So I bought a 2000 Lexus IS200 with 160.000 km (around 100.000 miles). Had some problems to get one since in Slovenia they were never officialy sold. They started sales with the newer model here. Still I managed to find one imported by a local Toyota dealer and it has the whole service history :) But all those hustles disappeared when I drove a newly bought home :D Since I'm a previous owner of two Honda Del Sols maybe you can imagine what a leap in comfort it was for me. Woooow :D So here are the pics: Sorry for the dirt...it got dirty on the way from carwash to the shoot...hate snow and salt on roads...well forget the snow, snow is fun with rwd :D So my short-term plans are: polish trunk lip from Sport edition refurbing aloys or maybe buying some 18" lowering for about 30 mm hid and halos changing the colour of the lighting on dashboard and interior lamps other things will pop in my head while I go :) The concept is to make it look clean with some detailing or in other words as stock as it can be, with my personal style :)

To anybody out there thinking of buying a used Lexus is220d I would strongly advise against it. Lexus have admitted that there is a fault with the head gasket and have extended their warranty to 110000 miles. Full credit to Lexus for doing this and all well and good if you are within this mile range before your fault happens but if you are a little over the cut off, forget about having it covered under warranty. Despite it being a known fault, I approached Lexus of Newcastle with my car having done 113000 miles. Despite being a little over the mileage cut off I had no come back. I was given an estimate of £3,500 to have the issue repaired that I would have to pay. I thought that surely since it is a well known fault, it would have been covered. Moral of the story - don't buy a second hand Lexus is220d

Hello :) Has anyone repaired or services their Lexus at a Toyota service/dealership? How did it go? I've just been told that I can't do it! :) Thanks -
I am doing a couple of modifications to the rear of my car. Thought I would just let you all know that the words "Lexus" and "IS 220 d" have 6 locator pins. Therefore if you remove them, you will have to fill the holes and paint the boot lid.

Hi! I appologise if this has already been asked. I searched before posting but couldn't findd it. I am looking to buy my first lxus is 220d but having done some research i am quite confused to be honest. i like two cars, one of them is 220d sport and the other one is se multimedia. i think multimedia means it has builtin sat nav etc right? but what are the other major differences please?
