    Thank you. I still have the car and await a visit or call from "an engineer" within the next day or so, according to my insurer.
  2. Flutefriend started following Wanted - IS300 Sportcross and IS300 rear bumper cover and combination light required.
  3. Flutefriend
    I sadly reversed into a low brick wall and my insurer has written off what I regard as a perfectly usable potential classic. Can anyone help, please?
  4. Flutefriend
    I was hoping to part exchange mine with that one, but the seller isn't interested. 😥

    I have an '04 reg IS300 saloon in good condition. It has done nearly 90,000 miles and has recently had the cambelt changed and new front brake calipers and pads fitted. I need the extra space that the Sportcross offers (it must be a 300 model). Can anyone help please?
  6. Flutefriend
    I guess it must be a faulty lock. Thanks for trying to help.
  7. Flutefriend
    And yes - I do have a manual release lever which works fine.
  8. Flutefriend
    Just tried that, but the key still won't turn either way. :-(

    Same experience with alarm going off and then stopping it with key fob. But no joy with turning the key in the boot lock, even with the car unlocked. :-(

    I know that the spring on the boot was replaced, by Lexus Swindon, about a year ago, but I'm not aware of the lid ever having been changed. The key does indeed open the driver's door. However, I very rarely open it other than via the fob, and when I tried it just now it set the alarm off. Nothing I pressed on the fob would stop it, but when it eventually stopped I re-inserted the key and it opened and locked the door with no problem.

    Not sure. It was first registered in 2003. BTW - the key doesn't seem to go all the way into the barrel.
  12. Flutefriend
    I've nearly always unlocked the boot on my IS300 by pressing the button on the key rather than inserting the key in the lock. Recently there has been a steadily increasing delay before the lock responds, which I assume may be because the key fob battery is becoming flat. My problem is that when I insert the key in the boot barrel, the latter will not turn. I've tried lubricating it to no avail. Any ideas, please? I want to ensure that I can unlock the boot if the fob battery fails completely.
