There's a few ISF owners in this forum :)

Now you need to find the cause of the misfire. Could be plugs, coils, injectors, a number of things..... Need a mechanic or somebody who knows their way around an engine to diagnose it further.

Mpg? Can't be worse than the IS!

That's better Ian Medal

Nope I wouldn't. I like those, I just like the IS more.

Oscar (only thing I could think of lol, not making it easy Ian!! learnt about this bloke at school. General in world war 2)

I was watching that super charger for £1000. Didn't seem right to me, plus the picture of the kit was missing a few parts including the oh so important cradle!

Yellow Rose.... Wonder how many are left from the 50? Parking sensors on the back bumper make it look ugly :(

I had a squeek. I had the wheel bearing replaced and ball joint replaced at the sane time and no more squeek so it was one of those for me.

Yeah same here mate, I could read them for you. I'm in Somerset. :)

I fear you may have lost money there Panya. :( I reckon you could've got £3000 for your car with its mileage and rare colour and aeros and body kit lol.....

As you can see my handbook days take it to a dealer. I also read the bit about the fuel and throttle. It says and I quote "a. The fuel tank is completely empty b. there is a problem somewhere in your engine or automatic transmission electrical system. If it comes on have your vehicle checked by a Lexus dealer as soon as possible. If this lamp comes on and engine speed does not increase with the accelerator depressed there may be a problem somewhere with your electronic throttle control system" It's not saying its def one of those two. Hope all this helps but bottom line is you need a diagnostic.

I think your reading the handbook wrong mate. That's the the engine managment light (EML) the handbook may be saying to check the fuel and throttle body first before getting a diagnostic. It certainly isn't categorically one of those 2 things. Your car is telling you there is a fault. You need a diagnostic to obtain the fault code which will tell where the problem is. It needs plugging into an OBD2 code reader to obtain the code. Lexus will diagnose it for you for about £45. Or buy an OBD2 code reader from eBay and do it yourself. A list of OBD2 fault codes are here.... http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/ Codes staring with PO are generic for any car using OBD2. A list of manufacturer specific codes is here... These start with P1. http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/lexus/ As you can see it could be many many things. As for driving the car, if it doesn't go into limp mode (can't go over 2500rpm) then the fault isn't going to damage your engine if you drive it, but you do need to sort this as you could be making things worse.

Have you part exchanged it then?

Thr reason I asked is if it's the EML the advice from the handbook is to get it to your nearest Lexus dealer not total lack of fuel or a prob with the throttle body.

Which light exactly?

Yes it is but it should also be illegal to put 70% duty on fuel as well. Yep no argument it should but thems the rules! I've just read its £500 fine if you get caught, £1000 if caught a second time and third time they take your car and crush it. Is this true? Not worth the risk in my opinion. And to be honest why should the OP get cheap fuel when the rest of us have to pay the tax?

Isn't it illegal to use red derv on road cars?

Can't believe your getting rid if the Lexus Panya.... :( hope you stick around mate :)

Nice 1 Stuart. I had a feeling you would make it lol :)

Signature courtesy of Raymond :) Well the maths work out but I bet your heart will be racing the whole journey! You have to let us know if you make it!

Your brave mate!! I wouldn't try to do 13 miles on that! Hope you make it
