[Thanks for the reply
I did not buy from a LEXUS DEALER but i had to go to one for the spare key,the cost 190 EURO.But considering the alternative if i lost my only key i was told by LEXUS that would cost 3,500 EURO.They said it would need new locks.new ignition,and a new ECU.WHETHER THATS TRUE OR NOT I WAS'NT TAKING ANY CHANCES.I PICKED UP MY NEW OEM O2 SENSOR TODAY AND ITS BEING FITTED THURSDAY MORNING HOPE THIS SOLVES THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT PROBLEM.I RANG LEXUS YESTERDAY ABOUT THE VSC LIGHTS BEING ON AFTER THEY PROGRAMMED THE ECU TO RECOGNISE THE NEW KEY,HE ASKED ME IF THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND I TOLD HIM I WAS GETTING THAT SORTED.HE SAID IF IT IS STILL ON AFTER I GOT IT SORTED TO CALL THEM IF THE VSC LIGHTS REMAIN,BECAUSE SOMETIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON AFFECTS OTHER THINGS AS WELL,WHEN I TOLD MY MECHANIC HE SAID THAT IS COMPLETE BULL.BESIDES THAT,WHEN DRIVING THE CAR TO WORK ON TUESDAY I COULD HEAR THE BACK BRAKES MAKING NOISE SO I DROVE STRAIGHT TO A WELL KNOWN TYRE PLACE IN DUBLIN TO GET NEW PADS.THE GUY DRIVING MY CAR ONTO THE RAMP BURST MY FRONT TYRE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE IT WHICH THEY DID.I HAD 4 ALMOST NEW GOODYEAR EAGLE F1 TYRES ON BUT THEY REPLCED THE ONE THEY BURST WITH SOME CHEAP TYRE FROM SOME MANAFACTURER I NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE CALLED WAN LI OR SOMETHING,IS IT A BAD IDEA TO MIX DIFFERENT THREAD PATTERNS ON THE SAME AXLE.I READ SOMEWHERE BEFORE THAT IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED.I THINK I NEED TO GO BACK AND GET A NEW GOODYEAR OF THEM.SO U CAN SEE I HAVE HAD MY SHARE OF GRIEF IN THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNERSHIP.
BEST REGARD
