Hi, thanks for the reply. You mean to replace the entire enclosure? From the other clublexus forums it seems to be just a small plastic part inside that's broken that stops it turning outwards - Thought it seemed kind of excessive to replace the entire mirror and enclosure for just a small broken clip inside. Lexus quoted $1500~ and a 2 month wait to source the part from Japan...

Hey all, My car has recently developed an issue on the driver side folding mirror whereby it will fold outwards completely from the closed/opened position whenever the car starts up(despite not having auto folding feature on the ISF), or if I press the buttons to manually open/close them. Please see attached for a video of the issue. I've done some googling on it but haven't really found anything much at all, and whilst it seems to rotate perfectly fine except for not stopping at the correct open position, the dealership wants to replace the entire assembly which costs a fair bit - has anyone encountered this issue before? https://photos.app.goo.gl/3i5Xoafphj6NWg8v7 Edit: Have maybe found a relevant link but for the RX instead, potentially the same issue? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-3rd-gen-2010-2015/854758-side-mirror-problem-on-2013-rx-350-a.html#post10557699 Thanks!

Ended up running 2 cycles of 4x steradent tablets + hot water through the washer water bottle. Pumped it back out twice using one of those cheap handheld siphon kits for aquariums. Smell is all gone! A good fix for all those that run into this issue in the future on any car.

Had a look at the cabin filter and also replaced it with a carbon activated one I'd purchased from https://cabinairfilters.com.au/products/car/asian/lexus-is-f-cabin-air-filter-2008-2015/ Unfortunately still no luck in resolving the issue, will have a look at using some type of citrus or disinfectant solution. I think I'm just going to drop some of those steradent steralizer tablets in, mix with hot water, and let it sit for a bit. Then try one of those manual pump siphoners that people use for their home aquariums to suck all the water back out.

Thanks for the replies, I'm not too sure how to remove the entire washer bottle to deep clean, was wondering if it's possible for me to just shove a hose into it full blast and have it overflow out after the vingegar/baking soda - not sure how well this would work. It can't be normal as it's only just begun this year, the smell is very potent as it comes through the air vents and stinks out the car as it'll linger for weeks without febreezing the entire car multiple times and airing it out.

Hi all, I'm currently having an issue with my 2012 ISF whereby when I use the windscreen washer, right after I'm able to smell a stagnant/moldy water smell coming through the air vents. It only blocks out the smell if I set the air circulation to be cabin recycled only and not from the outside which I generally prefer. I've tried completely emptying out the water reservoir and re-filling it but the smell is still there - You can easily smell it if you open the water reservoir cap and have a whiff. I've also tried a high mix of the washer detergent fluid with water - but this does nothing either. I've mentioned this to the service department last time but they failed to do anything about it, any ideas? I've searched for the Air cabin filter on Youtube which seems like it's in the glovebox which doesn't seem like it'll affect the washer fluid smell?

Ended up just sticking with the OEM 12+ wheel tyre specs 2 x Michelin Sport 4 S 225/40/19R 2 x Michelin Sport 4 S 265/35/19R Since I couldn't find any credible sources online for 275/35/19R for the rears, only sources for the 245/35/19R fronts which were recommended. 275/30 are definitely not legal here for my wheels, only legal for the older ISF wheels which are .5'' slimmer and jump from 255/35-> 275/30, not 265/35->275/30.

I'm a newb since it's my first time purchasing diff sizing, though looking at https://tiresize.com/tyre-size-calculator/ 265/35/R19 vs 275/30/R19 Diameter = 668 vs 648 which is 20mm so it is over the 15mm legal limit Whereas 265/35/R19 vs 275/35/R19 Diameter = 668 vs 676 which is 8mm which is within legal limits.

Nice, for stock sizes it came to about $1970 from Lexus Brighton installed for stock sizing on the PS4S, which interestingly is about $100-200 cheaper than BobJane - Though they won't install different than OEM sizing so need to look elsewhere. BobJane also wouldn't install the 275/30 since it is outside legal limits, and suggested 275/35 - not sure if these are too big though since I can't find any good sources of the fit on stock height without rubbing here or on clublexus forums.

Just did my 120k service on my 2012 ISF, looks like I need to get a new set of pads + rotors for the front and brand new rubbers on all four corners. Currently leaning towards the DBA 4000 t3 rotors and Brembo brake pads from brakesdirect: https://brakesdirect.com.au/aus/dba42758s-dba-4000-series-t3-slotted-brake-rotor.html https://brakesdirect.com.au/aus/p50092-brembo-brake-pads.html Have done some reading and it looks like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are still the recommended tyres? Also interested in getting some wider ones since a lot of people also recommend getting wider ones. Stock: 225/40F and 264/35R A lot of recommendations for 245/35F and 275/30R and even 285/30R, however the tyre shop said that it isn't legal in Victoria, and that I could try 275/35R since that is within the legal limit. Would this also be a decent set up? Running completely stock ISF set up - so not sure if it will cause any rubbing etc. Thanks!

Hey all, Just finished my 90k service and in need of some new tyres and brakes, most likely get the whole new set now, but the service rep told me that the report states I currently only have 10% left on the front brakes(pads?) and about 50% on the rear - when it gets critically low, does the car alert us? Looking for some aftermarket options, as when I bought my car at 60k, I had all 4 front discs and pads replaced at Lexus of Brighton, which amounted to about $5.2k~ back in 2014. Any recommendations for purely street use? I thought the OEM ones were great, has a strong bite but it felt quite strong and capable. However from the second I purchased the car with the brakes replaced, I always got brake squeal when coming to a stop towards the lights. It was incredibly annoying and the only time I wouldn't hear it was straight after a good wheel clean - but it would pretty much come back 10-15 mins of driving. The amount of brake dust was also quite annoying and was hard to keep the wheels nice and clean.

Full brake disc/pad replacements on the ISF cost $4500 from a Lexus dealership, had them done a year ago.

Rarely go on sports mode nowadays, just planting the foot down and going WOT for a few seconds seems to drop the remaining kms by about 3km each time lol...

Are you upgrading to another exhaust? Do you know how they compare to the Borla/JoeZ?
