Mr Vlad

Blimey Linas I know about your experience with Halfords. Yes it depends on who runs the gaf and the staff. My local one is a better. They're all in to cars and all have old cars modded up. Yes Razor its a preferential thing where you buy your parts from.

How come you didn't try Halfords? Just looked and vented discs with pads just over £80. Brand Pagid which I had on a Ford mondeo titanium x sport (flying machine compared to the is250) plus lifetime guarantee. There's too much negatively about Halfords but I've been using them 30 years no issues.

Love those wheels Razor. Someone on here has the same who recently posted. I've found the mirrors on any of the Lexus cars I've owned were are the best of any car I've owned. Enjoy your new steed m8 👍

I was going to say just the same as Linas in that getting a motion detection outside light fitted. Very good security tool plus you'll see any obstacles.

I'm confused about you having L shaped reversing lights. Has your car got aftermarket rear lights like the Vland? I find my reversing lights are quite good in the dark. Have you tried reversing into your drive when its lighter outside? It'll be easier when its dark to drive out.

Hi Steve. I've had 2 is300h and a RX450h and now the most superb is250. As far as comfort goes to me there's no difference between the cars I've had except for one thing. The RX is superb to get in and out of because of it being taller. Handling of the RX was rather good and way better than the anti lexus reviews of the car. Not sure if 2.5k can get a RX400h or a RX300 but it'll get you a decent is250. I can't comment on the is200 or is300 except the 200 looks lovely. Happy hunting for your car.

I tip my cap to you Jason. Your thread will no doubt be a great help to others. Well done 👍

Don't think the engine noise was coming from the speakers (always had the ML loud lol)

Ah right. I forgot you're in the is300h. Yes I know the 12v battery is a tiddler. 👍

Hi Jason. I've just come across your thread. Very involved what you've done. I have to ask but do you have rain sensing wipers? I had the exact same problem. My wipers wouldn't come on on intermittent but only on constant. My problem was the rubbery plasticy sheet between the windscreen and the sensor behind the rear view mirror. My car didn't have that sheet. Once one was bought and fitted my problem was cured. I did a thread on it in the gen 2 is.

This thread has got my head thinking. I'm pretty damn sure I redlined my is300h when I had it. From a standing start with the switch set to power and traction battery at least on half and foot buried into the carpet. This by the way on a motorway slip road. Every day on the way home from work I'd rag it from those traffic lights and I'm certain I hit 6k revs. Made a lovely noise lol (not as good as my is250 tho 😗)

Hi DC. I've just come across your thread. I've looked up the cellllink neo only to find its a battery for a dashcam. One question. What dashcam are you using? Why does it need a battery? I'm a bit flummoxed because I fitted the Nextbase 322gw which is forwarded facing and has a rear facing camera attached to it. Both give superb quality video. I also got the hardwire kit. I looked in my handbook to see which fuse I could use either for constant power or for power to be turned on and off via ignition. I can't understand also why such a high fuse rating of 15 amp is required when my nextbase is only 2 amp. Please enlighten me.

Oooh I like that wheel

Hi Benjamin and welcome to the UK and to the forum. I have a 2007 SE-L and my car doesn't have auto locking. What you said about holding the button down for 5 seconds I've not heard about. All I do is press the button after I've started my car. My car doesn't beep either when I lock or unlock my car but I do have keyless entry so I don't use the fob button. I'll get a beep if I've not say put it in park when I shut the engine. Gen 5 nav? On a 2006 SE-L ? Its not a map download but a CD which can be got from ebay but the latest edition is i believe 2010. My nav always comes up I Agree which I think is standard.

Nice one Razor. Which dealer did you buy it from? You'll have to post some pics. No ML eh but from what others on here have stated its no bad thing but personally I'd love to compare side by side. Maybe we could meet up and compare.

Yeah I've seen quite a few of those aftermarket headlights but I don't like any of them. Original ones of a 10 or 11 plate 2nd gen is250 which a number of them have the built-in drl's. Thanks for the link anyway.

Yeah those headlights were a great find to those who fitted them. I've been looking since I got mine to no avail.

Hi Razor. I'm surprised any Lexus dealer told you the cars history when you stated you are looking to buy it. When I phoned Lexus about the car I now have they said point blank they don't give info to a prospective buyer. I left it a couple of days and tried again stating that I now had the car. All my questions were answered. If you go on the Lexus website to register your car part of the registration is to prove the car is yours. There's a number on the logbook which is needed. Once registered all the servicing and repairs when done at Lexus is there to see. I've travelled far and wide to get the cars I've had. I've known within seconds if I'm having it. I've walked away a few times after letting my thoughts be known. Good luck in your hunt.

Yes the car looks well. Wording of the advert is dubious in parts. A private sale i think as he doesn't have any other cars for sale. Double check the service book. When you contacted Lexus UK did you tell them you own the car or you're thinking of buying?

That car has been wrapped not painted. Wrapping is getting popular but even with today's technology wrapping only lasts about 5 years. Looking at that car the finish looks unkept and I reckon its a couple years old or more. Yeah if the colour covered the shuts then maybe its worth a look but its not my bag. I know what you mean Texas. Every time opening especially the rear door would drive me nuts lol.

Yes its white. Wish I was in a position to get it.

Hi Stew its been a while. How you getting on with your search for a is350? There's one on ebay now at a very reasonable price which is tempting.

It says finished in blue metallic. It also states its Burgundy which is associated with Red. Oh Burgundy is the 1st colour mentioned. Add also states its metallic red paintwork. Hence the joking confusion. Now that took me a while thanks to a few bottles of old speckled hen hic lol.

Just what colur is it? Blue or Red?

I'm sorry to have to disagree with Linas on 2 issues. The satnav is actually quite good so longs as you have the latest CD which if memory serves is 2010 (I'm expecting to be corrected lol). As to the reverse camera it has very good resolution well mine does anyway and is as good as any reverse camera I've had on the cars which have had it on and that includes 2 64 plate is300h premiers and a 62 plate f sport RX450h. Sorry Linas I usually agree with 100% of what you say.
