Lol yeh the ride is solid ,mine hates rough roads and potholes we .I find it's most comfy not driving it lol

Yup Lechlade - really nice place. Thought so. :) Car and scenery look lovely mate. :)

Scribe, alloy wheels lose air at a faster rate than the old pressed steel ones. As the alloy deteriorates with age the seal between the tyre beading and wheel rim becomes slightly weaker and you lose air. Steel rims don't do this to the same degree. I found that after my alloys were refurbed they held air pressure much longer.

No worries mate. Glad I've got to the bottom of it. She thanked me for bringing the issue to their attention as they were unaware until I rang them

right, ive got to the bottom of it. Spoke to a lovely lady called Jenny from Lexus Customer Care who advises that there is issues with the recall checker. She has confirmed my car IS effected and i will get a letter soon. She also advises the recall site issue has been reported and will be fixed shortly.

Thanks all for the help guys. GoPro is a great idea as well. My lad wants one of those, he may have to wait a bit longer! So, I spent an hour this morning looking in the "luggage" area. Took my stuff out of the boot. Took all the tools and jack etc out of the storage area. I loosened the spare wheel tensioner and re-tightened it. The tooltray/box did not have the two plastic trim push fasteners, so had room to move. I replaced these to prevent any movement. Some of the tools were a loose fit in their moulded places so I packed them slightly with some pieces of cloth. The jack when in place was slightly opened against its packing, again to prevent movement. Made sure the rear centre fold down console was securely locked on its retaining clip. Closed the lids and took it along my unmade up road, and all I can now hear is a very slight squeeking from the rear seats, leather on leather. I would expect that. As I changed several things at the same time, can not tell what was the cause, but suspect the tools or the tool box moulding. I am just happy that the irritation has stopped, for the moment at least. Allways felt it was not a suspension noise, but still pleased it did not result in having to replace the rears. Thanks again for the suggestions. Just to say, 1800 miles across France towng a vintage car on a trailer was a joy. The car was so comfortable as has been reported on other postings, gave on average 20-21 mpg. Using the cruise control had the car changing gear a lot on inclines so I suspect turning it off resulted in better mpg and a more relaxing drive, at the cost of only a slight increase in journey time. Great car, Regards David D

Treated the F to some Meguires before going for some lunch today...........

The grey looks awesome. Good colour Sent from my iPhone using Lexus OC

Great looking car David.

All you need to do is to move the lever to 'Park' using the shift lock button and then press the start button once (or twice?) to switch the car off completely. There is no need to restart the engine. It's obviously not good practice and like others said you'll soon get in the habbit of not leaving the car in 'Drive'. :)

Fear not...it will become a instant response....to stick it in P...after a couple of instances as you have described. You'll find yourself doing it without even thinking about it.

Yep - my IS250 is the same. You'll soon remember to put it in 'P' before switching off!

So, just been out and gone through the customisation settings.... One thing I have noticed is that it doesn't automatically pick up the VIN number which I have seen it do in a few YouTube vids...so I am guessing it's not working completely. Anyhoo...here's the full customisation menu (notes at the bottom): Initial Customisation Screen - Wireless Door - Wiper - Tilt - Warning - Air Con - Smart Key - Door Lock - Power Window - Illuminated Entry - Light Control - Sensor - Unit Conversion - Others - NOTES - There were a few which had no options at all. A couple being Security & Display. Unsure whether this is due to incompatibility with the hardware/software or there's simply nothing there to configure on my '07 IS. One other thing to note is that I have read you can also link new key fobs using this set up. There is a menu saying ECU Reprogramming....I am guessing it can be done but not looked at it yet....plus I already have a couple of fobs so no real need. This is also JUST the customisation part...there's a load of other menu's too. DISCLAIMER - If you purchase any hardware/software please make sure it is legit and also if you do screw up your vehicle's ECU whilst playing with the software I hold no responsibility for showing you some screenshots

The first time in history a bride gets to the church 20 minuets early.lol....
