  1. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-IS250-2-5-05-13-Approved-Petrol-Exhaust-Catalytic-Converter/172832886475?fits=Car+Make%3ALexus&hash=item283da48ecb:g:3KwAAOSwIwhWTtvK This is the middle section.
  2. I have seen the middle section before, but do not know if it was this company.
  3. Just buy this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112521866538?ssPageName=STRK:MESINDXX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1436.l2649
  4. I would just use the car as is if police did stop you, it is awaiting an insurance quote pending repair.
  5. The tips just hammer on or off Have you taken the car anywhere as of yet. You should mention any queries you have, with whoever does the work and demand new parts. That will be where it will be determined whether it will be repaired or written off. X amount of cost will determine what insurance company says.
  6. I would say looking at pictures, it will be repaired to good as new with new parts.
  7. Bumper should be a new one exhaust may of pushed further up causing more damage. This should be new but the price is not cheap. By fender do you mean rear wing? Car may be written off any pictures?
  8. That is a good idea, i watched a video of a lexus says its the rear which is the main one. Both knuckle joints should also be able to swivel freely.
  9. Seems like a good buy considering its a pair. I did all my interior with led when i purchased it. unfortunate the boot one sent did not fit so never bothered.
  10. Just one up above when you open the boot, I was going to add additional light as it is terrible.
  11. Are the brakes new? Sometimes they feel spongy when new till bedded in.
  12. As john says trouble is lexus do not put in service book. I had mine done on the fuel sensor recall, like you say take an offside one out and have a look. Should be an indication on the rest. I thought my car was running okey before the plugs renewed. But it runs a lot better now .
  13. They are an easy fit miles better, and you will not get flashed or fail the mot. Go on utube loads of videos on fitting these.

  15. I do not think they do my passenger seat was all the way back, when my car came back. I suppose different dealers have there own way of doing things. Have you had a look under the seat to see if the wires have been pulled. Just make sure the plugs are in tight.
  16. Check your fuel cap is fully tightened that can cause the vsc only light.
  17. If the car failed mot in 2016 due to engine check light , main cause would be air bag light 02 sensors for emissions etc. Going back to your original question, did you not do a check on the vehicle pre buying. And as of clearing the codes a dealer may not of cleared them. I clear my own codes if they are present, but in 2 years ownership have not had any in the lexus. So the dealer may not know any thing about them. A £30.00 code reader will tell you fault and code in most cases. But that is only if engine light is on. A more expensive machine will do air bags and the like. Also the cheap machine will clear the codes as well, so no knowledge of them will be found. So no you have no proof the dealer knew anything of the problem { problems } Also the car ran for 14 months with no fault, so i would assume it flagged a different fault. Most cars when engine light plays up and are cleared, until problem is fixed reoccur within a couple of weeks. That is my experience so they may do the scan but you may have the parts to buy.
