yeah. what are they worth.. ill pm u

looking to buy one as well. could you link? thx

My 2006 Sport is the same if I get heavy on the gas, (and being manual I probably do that more than should) I have read a number of suggestions as to the possible cause and how to deal with it, but the one I believe is the issue for my IS, is the primary catalytic converters. Apparently Lexus changed the CATs in the 08 or 09 model and in the states they actually offered owners with earlier models experiencing this, the option of having the CATS swapped out, but not here in Oz :( A common suggestion is to try a different fuel supplier, so BP instead of Gull, etc...but I have tried many, in many different areas around Perth and this has made no difference for me, so I am currently looking into what options there are for aftermarket exhaust manifolds with new CATS and bolting that on in place of the stock one........ unfortunately I have not found one yet that wont bring up any fault lights Hi thanks for the reply! its certainly helped, having read some other people post on the forum ill try different fuels. Im currently using V POWER. Cheers

Hi guys, Hoping someone can help me out here. Im usually not much of the hard driver, with sometimes having the transmission in S. I noticed that when im in 3rd gear and i push the rev range above 3000-3500rpm i get a really bad almost egg fartish like smell. Im wondering if this is normal and if anyone has experienced this before? Ive also noticed that my oil use is tremendously high. I changed the engine oil 5000km ago and have had to top up twice (engine oil notification came on). I use 5w-30w mobil engine oil. I have a 2008 is250 prestige. Hoping someone can help me out. Do I have a lemon?? Everything else seems to be going well. I average 9.1L/100km in the city Thanks heaps in advanced.

Hi Kidd, Are you selling your F sport intake? Noticed it wasnt included in the car sale?

Got a set of 2010 18" sports luxury wheels and tyres. $1300

Hi Guys, I have a 2008 is250 and at idle (especially in traffic) I find that the radiator/engine fan comes on for about 10 seconds (and is quite loud) and then turns off. I have found this particularly when parking the car (at low speeds). Is this normal? If not, would I have to get anything looked at? =/ Any help would be appreciated! :)

Okay if I am not spending more then why am I filling up at 500km per tank now rather than 650km previously? Having a bigger wheel means my odo reading is now accurate, as my 16" were about 5kmph off. You're not spending more - nor has your consumption increased. The circumference has changed and thus gives both speed & odo meter reading variances which has changed your calculation... From memory I think you can recalibrate the computer for this (consumption) but not km's. Look at http://www.inawise.com/tyre-calculator/tyre-size-calculator.html, insert your relevant sizes and see the error (or the change in readings is probably the correct term)...

Yo guys. Previously had the old 16" prestige rims on my 2008 is250. Was averaging 8.7l/100km for city driving Now Ive got 18" Sports luxury Rims on there and its skyrocketed to 11.5l/100km... Probably not worth the looks for me at this stage.. spending $30 bucks more a week to fill up =/

do you have any photos?

Cool. What would be the expected price to pay for bendix - rda rotors? Could you get these fitted at a lexus dealer?? :)

Thanks quockies! They did come off another is250 Thanks again :))

Hey guys. Just bought some 18" sports wheels. Currently I have the 16" prestige rims. Would it be a matter of just swapping them over? Sorry I'm new to this stuff and all the offset stuff. Any help would be awesome Thanks

Yes it was actually a Fuel pressure sensor safety related recalled. 1&2c Rounding. (not sure what the means, just copied it from my receipt)

Courtesy car is free with every service with Lexus as far as I am aware. :) Ive had three lexus' out of warranty and have always received a car when asked for one Anyway, I just finished my 75k km service at lexus city melbourne.$780 all up Quite good - car feels alot smoother on acceleration. So a good job done by the mechanics The guys at the desk in my opinion weren't great. I asked them about the carbon build up and they had apparently "never heard of it" and were brushing off every niggling thing i said such as "dusty brakes" and rough engine idle. I would much rather talk to a mechanic about my car who wants to understands rather than talking to the guys sit down and take phone calls. For the 90Km service I would have to go and try blackburn. Ive been to both Melbourne and Brighton and would say they're on par. quote for the throttle clean/ upper injector clean was $165 if anyones interested and also quote on 90k KM service at melbourne lexus was $1350 (justified by $500 spark plugs apparently)

do you guys know if I will need to use a HID conversion kit if i buy these lights and put it on my 2008 is250 prestige? Or would it be a simply of plug and play? thanks

No idea why its been recalled.. though i have booked in with city lexus on monday! will update you once its been done/looked at.

Sorry can't view the video? Says its been deleted or something

Thanks for that Lex51s. Going in for a 75k service. Do I just ask for a throttle body clean ? Surely they would know whats going on right? Cheers

Hi guys. Does anybody know if the TSIB is valid in australia? Theres alot of stuff regarding TSIB for the IS250 re: 1) Carbon build up 2) Front brake pads (dust) 3) Fuel Injector 4) Windscreen wind noise Would it be worth pointing this out in australian dealers and has anybody had any luck having things replaced for free or under warranty from quoting the TSIB. My is250 has a noisy windscreen when driving >60kmph, rough idle and dusty front brakes :( :( :( For those who dont know what TSIB - Lexus Technical service bulletins Cheers :)

Hello fellow melbourne lexus owners Just wondering which dealer out of three in melbourne is the best of the bunch have a 75k km service coming up. been quoted $780 at blackburn and melbourne city lexus(which i think is fairly decent). Also bringing it in for the fuel injection recall (08 is250) I havent heard many good things about brighton lexus though apart from the fact that it is the biggest one. Anyone delt with city lexus that could share their experience? Cheers :)

Sweet. Do any of you guys know how much it'll be inc shipping to melb. I read its around the $1500 mark.

Awesome thanks for the input Quoc. Will most likely go to Lexus Melbourne... =)

Just asking because my car had its last service at 60k km that was back in 2010.... its now on 63k km... Would I need to get it serviced? Everything seems fine and still drives really good :)
