Not my pics but saw this on FB the other day. Might give you some idea of what's going on and how to fix it.

It's very common and normally it's rusting from the inside out. It's a poor design, the area in the rear wheel arch just in front of the wheel just collects water. Ive had the same problem on both my IS's.

Yes it's the 02 sensor. The cars even trying to tell you this with the fault code. It's goosed needs changing.

Your car is shuddering because the 02 sensor regulates the air/fuel ratio into the engine. Now if the 02 sensor is broke, it can't adjust air fuel ratio correctly so your car will judder it's either getting not enough fuel or too much or not enough air or too much.

That's not water it's the heated element stuff come out.

Early 200's the heated mirror was always on as said above but in the 300 and later 200's (01-) the heated mirrors work in conjunction with heated rear windscreen switch.

Why did you change coil packs if the problem is 02 sensor? Replace the 02 sensor that the fault code refers to

Have you changed those parts without retrieving the fault codes by plugging it into an obd2 code reader or getting a garage to run a diagnostics? get the fault codes it'll tell you what the problem is or the area where the problem is.

No idea why he couldn't tell you what that code means. Quick google....

I believe there's build threads on Tezza world but I can't find them right now.

There loads of difficulties, it's a huge undertaking. It has been done successfully a few times now but you're not gonna do this over the weekend on your driveway lol.

Yeah didn't been to be overbearing but a lot of people don't realise how dangerous leaving a worn balljoint can be. 👍

Don't just leave it. The balljoint has been advised and if you leave it, it can fail and when it fails your wheel will come off and rip your wing off and dependant on the speed at which the ball joint fails you could very well die.

Now these are not expensive parts and I don't know why you're having trouble.

Genuine balljoint from dealer £55-70. Fitted at any garage (£30-60 labour) it takes 20-30 minutes to change a balljoint.

Wheel bearing. About £120 for the bearing. Needs to be pressed in so you may have to pay an hours labour.

Basically my local garage would do this work for around £300-£350 all in.

Yeah exactly as it says in that post^ 👍

It's def not normal. I don't have my tyres fitted at a dealer but where I go I'm in and out with 4 new balanced tyres fitted in about half an hour.

Been a while Ian, hope you and the family are well. Nice to see you back organising meets.

I'm a possible, meant to be working but I'll try and get out of it, I'll confirm either way in a couple of weeks.

Ok. When the eml comes on you need to plug it into a obd2 fault code reader. This will give you the fault code which you then reference to the list below directing you to the fault. There are many possibilities.

Prob aimed more at the heavy plant traffic such as massive great diggers and JCB's which have digital speedo's

If the nozzles are blocked you'd still hear the pump working, that's why I said fuse or pump is knackered as it makes no noise.

No idea where the fuse is sorry.

And yeah great shout Steve. That pipe comes off sometimes but if it's leaking into your passenger footwell that's 100% heater core related

That's a good price. I buy my tyres online and ran into the same prob at kwik fit as you mentioned. Luckily a local independent tyre place fits mine for £15 a wheel inc balancing so a little dearer then lexus! I'll try them next time.

1. Fuse or pump is dead.

2. Car may need reprogramming. There's a guide on this forum in "lexus guides"

3. That's your heater matrix (core) leaking.

Your paint code is 1C0, platinum ice. All info such as paint code, diff code, engine code, gearbox code can be found on the vin plate under the bonnet, on the bulkhead, passengers side.

Lexus made a diesel car once.....

It didn't go very well! Haha

Toyota/lexus now put their effort, knowledge and expertise into hybrids. I'd bet there'll never be another lexus diesel, ever!!!

The guy was violent at work to a fellow employee.

If any of you or indeed I behaved like this at our place of employment we too would be fired!

BBC had no choice, they had to fire him, and although I will miss top gear he really had to go.

By the way, James Mays twitter already says "former TV presenter"

Is the tensioner just chewing the belt and you've caught it before it broke or did the belt come off the tensioner but is still in one piece? What happened exactly? Did the car become un driveable.

If the cambelt failed or came off then yeah you've probably bent valves. I've got 2 friends who have suffered cambelt failures...It's generally regarded easier to change the whole engine rather than rebuild the head or get a new head as a full engine can be bought in good condition with low miles for about £300 and swapping like for like is straight forward. One mate even did it on his driveway hiring an engine crane for the day.
