    ....That's what I was thinking🤔, yes.... stepladders and a garden hose🤣🤣🤣

    Beautiful car..... Enjoy!

    All the best Ash, please post some pics of your journey with the IS300H😎👍

    The rattle will be more audible from outside, especially with the poor quality road surfaces and potholes. The heatshield clearance is still huge when the engine is up to operating temperature🙄

    Hi, Incredibly for a Company with an exceptional build quality reputation...... This rattly heat shield was designed to have that level of "play" and it is normal😮. I was tempted to fit additional washers to ensure it doesn't rattle when cold...... incedentally the reason from salesman was to give enough room for "thermal expansion"..... My 05 IS300 Sportcross has no such design features!

    Hi Eddie, All the part number info is above on the thread...... 4 in total, 2 on each bank of 3 cylinders....one, pre and one post-cat. Fault codes should identify which are faulty. Hope you get it sorted soon. My O2 sensor issue was resolved after the mechanic changed both on bank one... but the fault still persisted... it turned-out there was a short in the connector too, so all was good once this was diagnosed and fixed. Engine management light now behaving🥳 Cheers and Happy New Year everyone!😎👍

    Thanks for this info Colin, really appreciate the reply!.... Not sure what the actual code letters/ numbers were (it was a "snap-on" diagnostic computer).... It was definitely bank 1, cylinders 1-3, so both sensors were changed, but after getting the car back, the fault returned. Just heard today that all is well and it was an intermittant contact on the 2nd sensor (after the cat) connector pins, causing the fault to display. Mechanic has been excellent and can't wait to get it back tomorrow....£40 for lots of checks and peace of mind....priceless! cheers 😎👍

    .....has anyone had 'O2' sensor replacement issues?... my '05' IS300 sportcross is showing O2 sensor fault codes and i am trying to source the correct ones by my mechanic....Lexus main dealer have been called but they don't have that in-depth knowledge (or are deliberately being unhelpful)? Lexus parts are x3 more expensive! Changed 2 (pre and post cat) on the 1st bank and same fault is still showing.... Car is still driving like a dream (with the engine warning light illuminated) and only 92k miles, with 2 x cam belt changes and fairly recent spark plug changes (2020), love this car!

    Will do similar as the state of the roads makes it clatter occasionally🙄
  10. DF-300 Sport
    .......P.S..... This might be the most popular thread?..... I have a rant of my own to share!😯
  11. DF-300 Sport
    I'll guess first, given my experience of my 1st two visits at my local Lexus dealership.......hopefully, i'm way out (over)....£400?
  12. DF-300 Sport
    Could it be a loose heat shield?......the manifold HS in my IS300h is very loose, by desigh, according to Lexus Glasgow....to allow for expansion.....🤔....if only crinkle or single coil washers had been invented to overco.e such a phenomenon🙄, come on Lexus, my 17 year old IS300 has no such design feature🤓👎
  13. DF-300 Sport
    Welcome and enjoy, when it arrives....You have youtube to keep you busy in the meantime to get "familiar" with the controls and tech and watch all the reviews🤗.
  14. DF-300 Sport
    Welcome Philip, lovely looking IS300 and hope you have many years of reliable enjoyment, it's a great car!
  15. DF-300 Sport
    Thanks gor the feedback guys.....i checked it when hot and still loose....will contact Lexus Glasgow. (I am planning to get the Lexus fitted front and rear dashcam fitted soon, so a perfect opportunity to report this). Cheers😎👍
  16. DF-300 Sport
    Hi everyone, just a quick question.... (i think i know what the answer should be).... My 69 plate IS300h f-sport exhaust manifold heat shield retaining bolts are tight, but the heat shield is loose and although i havent heard it rattle, this doesn't seem right....maybe bolts have bottomed out and just needing a washer added? Anyone else noticed or experienced this?.....Thanks in advance😎👍
  17. DF-300 Sport
    Welcome also and hope you get some answers🤓👍....in the meantime just enjoy the luxurious driving experience😎👍

    Hi everyone....a wee update to say that i witnessed the elusive full charge on a very long descent (Crow Road on the Campsie Fells) and all is ok....have contacted Lexus, Glasgow to arrange the next service and hybrid check....thanks for all the replies, advice and expertise😎👍
  19. DF-300 Sport
    Confirmed 47.5 mpg for a 401 mile stint, mixed road type, mostly motorway and only a few short, high-revving spells.....display showed 48.9mpg🤔.....69 plate f-sport, 10.5k miles. Cheers, David
  20. DF-300 Sport
    69 plate f-sport, at 10k miles......loving it🤗...only used half a tank since buying it....and have been mostly very "sympathetic" on quiet motorway commute.....49mpg displayed and will do the calculation and repost when i re-fill. Cheers😎👍
  21. DF-300 Sport
    Enjoy Tom, sounds like a beauty......can you maybe post a couple of pics please? Cheers😎👍
  22. DF-300 Sport
    Cheers Thackeray, lots of info and it makes perfect sense.... having never had a hybrid vehicle, i hadn't given it much thought before now🤓👍.
  23. DF-300 Sport
    Thanks everyone, I'm sure all is fine and appreciate all the detailed feedback😎👍. Car is 69 plate with 10k miles....I suppose I was concerned about the lack of use during lockdowns? Owner was elderly gent (so the garage say)....Recently serviced and mot'd by Arnold Clark and I got their internal invoice showing all work carried out. Will get the hybrid health check done soon and consider ditching the 2 years free servicing and mot deal and return to main dealer TLC? Love the car it's amazinly smoothe.....I've still got the 2005 Sportcross for some V6 fun😲, cheers!
  24. DF-300 Sport
    Cheers Colin, Agreed, I will drop by and have Lexus Glasgow dealership experience and respond to this observation....still have 3 months left on the Maufacturer's warranty....and 53 days left on the Arnold Clark (for what that is actually worth) 60 day warranty....update soon, cheers..... PS, the ref info on the Hybrid system was excellent....Herbie, take the rest of the day off😎👍
  25. DF-300 Sport
    Cheers Herbie, thanks for this info, exactly the reassurance and reference i need to read and understand....off to read in detail now🤓👍
