Toyota part number 87139-07010 for the cabin filter for a 2009. Assuming it's the same for a 2011.

Still drives exactly the same as when I picked it up from the dealer. Just keep up proper maintenance and any Toyota/Lexus should last (nearly) forever.

Okay great, I'll give you a call early in the new year. My box is around 115k and I'd like to do some preventative maintenance. Car just hit 10 years old a few months ago.

Danny, do you flush the 2IS box and if so, how long does the procedure take and final cost?

I thought I read during the time of the first recall that faulty bags had been sent out as replacements and would need re-doing in the future. I guess that time has finally arrived.

Danny, where's your suggestion to source front & rear bars for a late 2009 IS250?

Performed a bit of cleanup on the idiotic spam posts. Amazing how these users only posts are links to locksmiths outside the country.

Best off using a Lexus approved repairer... they should have proven their ability to colour match to Lexus' exacting standards: https://www.lexus.com.au/owners/find-a-repairer

Yep, already had FPR and airbag recalls done on my IS250 over the years. They send out a letter, then will ring you if you don't respond in a timely matter. Granted, Lexus usually only has the first owners' information so those who purchased used vehicles may need to enquire with a dealer if they don't have up to date ownership information.

Semi slicks... something along the lines of Toyo Proxes R888

Check out tyresales.com.au... prices seem a lot lower than $500/tyre for PS4 for an IS-F.

Wow, that's some difference in cost between an IS250 tyre and IS-F... I paid less than $900 for all 4 supplied, fitted and balanced.

Just bought some Pilot Sport 4 as well... only 1000km ago, but much nicer than the PS3 that were on it before. Super quiet in comparison. Haven't had time to compare anything else yet.

https://brakesdirect.com.au/ebc These guys are usually priced pretty well in comparison to other places. Not is Sydney, but they do ship out. I've bought IS-F brakes from them in the past.

Sounds like a dodgy burn. I have seen v22 on DVD-R work perfectly fine in a 2009 model. Perhaps try a different brand disc or burn speed.

Cheers, will check it out when I get home.

I've been waiting 3 days for email confirmation for a new account there... wondering if they're having issues. I run my own mail server, and I know for certain it hasn't even been sent from their end yet.

Damn, I would have been keen for an '09 Nav override in mine. If they work one out, I'm very keen.

Hah, John is hilarious... I recommend his YouTube channel.

I get most km out of a tank in this order: Mobil Supreme 98 BP Ultimate Shell V-Power I don't use Caltex... issues in the past have tainted my view of their fuel. V-Power seems to go "off" in around 2 weeks and the car can feel sluggish and ping. Haven't experienced this with Mobil or BP though.

Excellent to hear :)

Found their eBay page... the red version seems to show a much darker yellow for the indicators. If they use the same setup for the black ones, I think they should be fine.

The only thing I'd be worried about is the colour of the indicator lights. Should be amber coloured, but the photos appear to give off closer to a white light. There are already reflectors at the bottom of the rear bar, so that would be my only concern.

Yeah, sorry I meant Disp and not Mode, and you can only reset the L/km, but it should affect the distance on your next refill of the tank. Let us know how you go.

Range is based on the average lifetime fuel usage figures. If you've hammered the car and you're averages are high, your projected range will be low. My lifetime figure is around 9L/100 and I get estimates of around 630km/tank. You can reset the lifetime figure if you go to that screen on the dash and hold Mode I think. Or disconnect the battery, but that will wipe a couple of other things too.
