They do all my servicing plus one of the mechanics there owns a IS250 and knows the ins and outs .Plus he is a good mechanic and will not rip you of or charge more than the time need to service the car plus parts .

Hi mate i got a MY06 IS250 sports , And my dad has a MY2011 F sport IS350 and both these cars dont have a compass on the rear view mirror .

I dont have the smell even when i give my car a hard time guess im lucky 2006 build IS250 .

]Its a guy currently working in Lexus service center, he does my service for $300 each time.Everything is nice and neat except for the fact that he gave me this sticker to remind me next service will be 6 months after,I dont feel comfortable about it.

Would love the motor make it a manual is350 but i heard you cant with the stock computer

It depends how deep the scrath is but you should be alright most scratchs will not penetrate the primer coating on a car.

I am with AAMI to and i just took my car to Northshore smash repair and they did everything for me . Dont let them fool you into taking it to there repair if you are firm with them they will let you take it to your repairer .

Yeah mate i am keen to come down for the cruise

Try BOB jane T marts on the corner of parramatta road and woodville road Parramatta they charged me aroung $125 . leave the car there they take the tyre of and send it out to get repaired . I could not tell the difference from the undamaged ones to the one that was guttered.

I am pretty sure it is just slightly lower springs . I have a 2006 sports and when i checked at the lexus dealer the only different part numbers were the springs.

+1 again for Meguiars Quick Interior Detailer.

I cleaned my entire interior with it a few days ago. Doesn't leave any slimy or shiny residue (like ArmorAll) and removed the marks you mention.

Hi i have tried the Mequiars quick interior detailer and i cant say it got rid of my marks of my door trims . It did make my dash look alot better than what it was before .

I recently replaced my front pads and rotors. I went for ebc blacks. I think they call them ultimax. I wouldn't recommend them. Black by name, black by nature. Wheels started to turn black on the way back from the car wash. They do stop well though. With the rotors, They are the same for Aurion so check out the price for Aurion rotors. The part numbers are different but the rotors are the same. There is another toyota model that takes the same one too but I cant remember which one it is. The reason im letting you know this is that maybe because they are for a lexus, You might be paying a premium.

Has anyone tried the GCT's. Are they cleaner?

Cheers

Aurion rotors are not the same as IS250 rotors different thickness ... they do have the same pcd thought

just thought i'd add

i purchased the Bendix General CT as replacement pads from the local mechanic. $150 for front pair, $150 for rear pair.

No idea how they compare to OEM as my previous weren't OEM i dont think,

that said they provide smooth soft braking and work reasonably well far as I can tell and give off minimal brakedust if any at all..

fyi: my last car was a 2009 BMW 135i which comes stock with Brembo Sports brakes.

Those brakes were SUPER instant feedback + equally SUPER brake dust

I dont mind these ones

That is way to much for those pads i could get the set for about $150 .... PM me if anyone is intrested can alos get rotors for way cheaper than retail price

Maybe not that specific one i put up[ there but that same design i have emailed Lexus of Miami and they have the same one to fit my VIN of my car .

What about this one its a OEM item

Sounds like noisy Tappets to me - get them adjusted.

Do these things REALLY have adjustable tappets? I thought they went out in the dim dark ages.

I meant get them replaced .

That sounds to me like its your tappets they did not adjust it right when they did the cam gears maybe.

In my opinion the new software colours is not as good as the old design no real new features on it compared to the older software

I have Yokohama Advan tyres on my they are alittle bit more expansive but worth it . Kuhmo's are a very good Tyre though it also depends on your budget .

Stay clear of cheaper non name brands as they might be cheap but quality , grip and overall service life of the tyres is very poor .

As Danslex mentioned the fuel filter costs about $130 and is situated in the tank,hence the removal of the rear seat is required.(relatively high labour cost)Interestingly I was in the uk last week and rang a lexus dealer to see what they charged for one.(I`ve done about 75000kms)He came back with about $70 (for the petrol engine) and asked why I wanted it as he had never sold one.Apparently over there it isn`t in the service schedule to be changed at any mileage and wondered why its different.

The fuel filter should be changed every 75k's because it gets dirty . I have changed a couple of these type fuel filters before the labor time is not that long when you get used to changing them although its a bit tricky to do . As i am led to believe from a Toyota rep that used to come to my work our fuel and way its distributed is not as for lack of a better word clean as most countries overseas .But the fuel smell and the fact the fuel will spill every where is unavoidable because of the pressure in the fuel lines .

My Lexus IS250 averages 10.6 litres per 100 which i been told is a bit high for a manual but i do

alot of bumper to bumper crap sydney driving .

Stock is 225 in the front and 255's in the rear

Im sure lexus has put in countless hours and money into R&D and to come up with this result
