Sorted it now, read instructions properly! Paranoid I am not going to get a good nights sleep again!

I am going to turn off the ultrasonics, however, the manual says press the button and it will put a message on the mutifunction display, but it doesnt, so dont know if its on or off.

I am sure this has been done to death, but has anyone had a successful repair to the alarm going off? Mine went off at midnight last night, twice then didnt go off again and has been ok since. I checked my cameras and there was no interference with the car.

Thanks.

Where did you pick the power up from? Was it easy enough to pull the roof plastics to bits?

Just got my car back from Lexus service, where they were pushing me for a full 100k service inc spark plugs. The car is 2011 with Lexus history purchased from a main dealer and had 46k on when I bought it and has 49k on now. Just told them to do an intermediate and I would go big next year when I have saved up the money! by the time it gets the ten year 100k it will have covered no more than 55k.

Whats the highest up the scale you have had on the battery indicator? Been on a hilly drive this morning and it went right to the top for the first time, except for the three little bars.

Not a problem unique to Lexus. i have had it on a Mazda and a BMW i previously owned.

How much was it for the dealer fit replacement?

Probably half that cost at an independant. The gas cost a fortune now.

There were Cooper tyres on the front and Bridgstones on the back. As I said, Cross Climates were my forst choice, but the cheapest I could get them was £120 a corner, and Costco couldnt supply for some reason, as I normally get them there. Anyway, got the Goodyears fro £83 each online including delivery, and got them fitted for £20 all in. Only done around 20 miles since I got them so difficult to say for comparisons, but dont seem any noisier than the ones that were on.

I have 17" rims on my newly aquired 2011 CT and even though it was a dealer purchase, the tyres wernt fantastic, so enquired about cross climates which I have had fitted to my last two cars. They were quite expensive so decided on Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons Gen 2 as they seem comparible to Michelin. Dont do a huge mileage, around 5k a year so see how these compare to the Michelins for wear.

Picked it up today and well impressed. We have owned a Prius in the past and I thought they may be similar, but not by a long shot. Dealer filled it with fuel which was nice, and sitting at 65 all the way home displayed 62mpg, which I am happy with. Next job is to get a set of Michelin Cross Climates on for the winter.

Thanks, can’t wait, got the train booked to Sheffield on Saturday morning. insurance was a bit of a shock mind, £77 to change my BMW 7 series to the CT for 6 months till it runs out.

After owning a RX400h for a while and moving into an old BMW 7 series, I decided that I was throwing away too much money on fuel and repairs. Fancied a is300h, however, the ones within my budget (this is a second car to a new Mini which the missus drives) were terrible. We looked at an IS and a CT yesterday in Keighley which were high mileage but FSH. What a waste of time that was. The IS had dings all over it and stank of smoke, was covered in cobwebs and just lokked crap. The CT had bigger dents along the side and a clearly badly painted front bumper. Anyway, decided I would rather buy a low mileage one from a main dealer, so had to go older, but have put a deposit down on a late 2011 CT SE-L Premier one owner car with 47k from Lexus Sheffield. Pick it up next Saturday, train is booked! Looking forward to getting more mpg. Anyone want a 20 year old 7 series?

If it makes anyone feel any better, I just went in the boot of our 9 month old Mini Cooper and that was full of water! At least we can throw it back at them for warranty repairs.

As he said, same for me. I recommend the ebay guy.

Bit of a longshot here, but does anyone have a broken luggage cover/blind they want to sell? I have a 2007 RX and whilst removing the luggage cover to go to the tip with rubbish, the offside plastic end cap became detached and I managed to throw it away with the rubbish! The cover still fits in, but rattles and doesnt retract, not the end of the world but Lexus only sells them complete, which isnt going to happen.

Again, wrong. Costco are supplied from Navigator (Greenergy) and they add there own additives at the forecourt. The premium diesel is as good as anyone else's, and thats the only diesel they supply. Premium unleaded is the same. I use Costco normal unleaded in my 400h which is more than enough.

Wrong. Maybe the Asda trailer is on a dedicated contract, but will still fill up at the likes of Navigator Terminals which supplies most of the branded fuels. A lot of companies includint he one I work for now have a white fleet, that deliver to various forecourts. To be fair, Shell V Power does have its own dedicated arm at the terminal, the rest just have varying amounts of additive injected in to their own recipes as we load. The base fuel is all the same.

You would think they would have used a plug in battery saver to keep all the settings, got mine changed and no difference ay all.

Cheers for that. Its on my Christmas list.

Yes, just register your car on Lexus.co.uk and my Lexus IS on the far right of the menu bar. its really handy.

I bought mine 3 months ago from a used car dealer near Manchester who gets a few in direct from Lexus Bolton, I think. Its a 2007 model which has the newer Nav and dvd player. Its an SR model and was looking for a SE-L, but the newer SE-L they had was tatty and had more miles on it. Mine had 84k with a full Lexus history which will now end as I use a local garage for servicing. Since purchase I have put two new rear tyres on, replaced the navigation display (centre of the touch screen was unresponsive, so check before buying, I didn't!), got a new nav disc, purchased a luggage cover (these tend to disappear from used vehicles and are expensive second hand) and today have replaced the reversing camera which was working but the image on the screen wasn't the best. Fortunately, mine has had the 10 year service just 1500 miles before I bought it, and water pump, cambelt etc was done already. You can also check on my lexus what has been done to the car since new at the dealership. Found that mine had a replacement gearbox at 39k. Next purchase will be a Grom Vline to upgrade the ML entertainment. Its a fantastic car to drive, quiet, smooth and economy during normal use, commute etc hovers around the 30 mark.

Hi Steve, Yes thats correct, I didnt pay duty on the Lithuania part but got stung £44 for the luggage cover. The camera is a bit cheaper though. Just got to be careful with part numbers, as mine is a 2007, there are less bits about. Saying that, the nav screen was much cheaper than the older ones.
