Should have stuck with the IS-F..... 

Don't make these new F cars like they used to! Lol.

3 years old and get new pumps. Nice little bonus that.

Obviously the fuel pump differs from the ISF.......my question is why??.......I thought they would have shared most components from the ISF 🤪.....

hmm, burning some rubber anyone??

[Big Rat]

IsF had fuel line/pump issues as well, part of a recall in 08/09

@Mark G Love that shows a certain sense of style

Stylish indeed! The “gentleman making the best of it in the face of adversity” reminds me of this picture...

In the meantime, I guess we all wait for the recall letter to arrive...?

Phone call from Lexus Cheltenham first thing this morning, parts ordered for me booked in first week in March 50 minute job.

Great service😁

Are they sending letters out about this? Or just relying on people calling up.

They will be doing but it can take months to arrive which usually means its not very urgent and the likelihood is very low

Otherwise they'd be ringing people up personally

[Guest]

I'm not worried and thinking about just tying it in with my service mid April to save 2 trips.

[Mark G]

As @Big Rat says, parts available from March, they say mine will be done that month, fine by me.

Note to self: don’t turn up with a full tank of petrol to a recall...

@ToothyI'm guessing letters obviously not that many to sort out, it's like herds of M3's......

I think it should be done on age so older cars first and make 16 plates wait until next year.

Doesn't the IS-F share with the IS 220d?
