Dear All, dear Bob, Thank you for your comments and interest, those are now kept for Linas.P Kinds regards Gabor

Hi Bob, Thanks for the kind comment. Fortunately the car is fine, I just have to clear my storage because those simply takes too much space.

Dear All, I have some parts available for anyone who is willing to collect until the end of this week from KT6 7NL (Surbiton, South-West London, ideally between 8:00 - 17:00 but I am flexible to help if that is necessary). Those came off from a 2006 IS 250, and those are free of charge: - 4 x 17" alloy set, not in a very great shape (peeling etc.) but those are refurbishable, - Both front calipers in parts, - Also both rear calipers, but those are badly squeezed, - Automatic carpet mat set, the driver one is worn, the other ones are in good condition. Kind regards Gabor Pinter 07943 382577 (Please prefer messages.)

Thanks, I'll try that one with proper surface preparation of course.

Dear fellow owners, I am just replacing all the four calipers on my IS250 (the new ones are still in the box), and I was wondering on getting them laquered to protect those from rust. Ideally I would't paint them so I am planning to use a clear coat only. I found these products on Amazon, would you think those would work on their own, without a coloured primer? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000CPJLV2/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=27CYQD3147JTP&coliid=I71J38RWEE7PT&psc=1 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ZXZP480/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=27CYQD3147JTP&coliid=I2X2CJ2M6OXQP7 Thanks for your time.

Thanks Dave, I really appreciate your thoughs. I'll go with the ones you recommended. Gabor

Dear fellow owners, I am in the process of replacing the brake calipers on a '06 IS250 as I wanted to get rid of the seizing-recall-affected parts. After checking numerous forum entries, TS bulletins, I got confused about the correct greases to be used. i would prefer using Lexus/Toyota greases. This is what I found: 1, For lubricating the slider pins, seals etc.: - Toyota 08887-01206 / 08887-83010 Rubber Grease (this has been mentioned in a lot of documents, reviews and also in the early manual) OR - Toyota 00289-1WG00 White Grease (Technical Support Bulletin of the recall) 2, To use as an anti-squeal grease on the shims and as lubricant on the contacting surfaces between the pad and the pad support plates.: - Toyota 08887-80609 Brake Caliper Grease (Toyota Ireland) Is it safe to assume that this combination will work fine? Thank you for your help in advance.
