My wife leaned over for the shot. 105 is 98 in mine. @tasweb im not going to get into a slanging match with you. 1st post says at 70k in. The rest of the trip with driving around the coast it went to 8.5 and the gauge went lower

Gauge goes a few more mm to the right when full. It goes down don't worry.

Had an approx 200k trip today from Ringwood to Sorrento and back (Inc a stop for a few hours at Peninsula Springs for a soak :) ) Saw the best fuel figure Ive had so far. After a couple of days of small local trips I was suprised to see the Tank average drop from 12.8 to 8.8. Then it kept going right down to 7.7l 100/k after about 70 k's on. It was freeway driving but Ive never had a run this low before.. pleased aye

Must be thinking alike :) Got some tonight. Its like a fine pinky powder. Old name I think is Jewelers Rouge. Came with an applicator block too. Dip damp block into powder and apply with block. will try out on weekend.

Thanks Tony. I tried bars Bugs neat earlier which has similar properties. I think ilv1004s is on the ball with overspray. I will try carefully with thinners another day. Panel shop told me to use 000 steel wool but I can find any that fine and they had none ;(

It may do but its listed separately in the recalls. I noticed there is a separate thread on here for the 250.

You could be right as well. who knows what was done to it for prepping at the Lexus dealer edit: still some on screen. Will give it another go later.

A fix for This one would be great

I got it used. I use the ash solution to clean my wood heater glass window. :)

Ahhh fixed :) Mixed up a paste from the grey ash from my wood fire, rubbed all over windscreen, washed off. 99% improvement. There must of been a fine overspray from something all over the windscreen, may of been the Lexus coating?? Anyway can now see when sun on screen and raining

IS 350 is now also included in the recalls for the passenger airbag. Chassis numbers below. Passenger Front Airbag Inflator Lexus IS 350 IS 350 05025201 - 05029666. From 2nd Aug 2010 through 26th Dec 2011 05029670 - 05031711. From 6th Jan 2012 through 26th Dec 2012 Bazzle VIN Table_2 5029627.pdf Air Bag recall VIN TABLE.pdf

Ill investigate, thanks

Wonder if they will work with an Dec 2011 IS350 F...

Ebay :) 4500k or 5000k Led 9005 HB3 Similar: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Cree-LED-CAR-headlight-Conversion-kit-6000K-White-9005-HB3-7800LM-60W-bulb-3K-8K-/302229034494?

Great idea Please post up your findings

Just did my drivers door. :) worth every penny. Plenty.... left.

Thanks. Tried that and Prepsol. Continuous use of bars Bugs has helped a little but it looks like there is a fine mist of overspray all over the screen but there isnt :( I think it may be in the flexible layer between the laminated sheets.

$34 in my linky above

I'm finding it hard to get a clear wipe on my screen. IS350 F Sport 2011. I've changed blade assemblies, scrubbed screen with diff chemicals etc, added bars bugs etc etc. It looks like there is a coating over the whole screen that doesn't want to be removed. I read that some Lexus models used to have an coating from the factory that wasn't removable but became an issue as it wears? I also get poor vision if the sun is directly thru the screen, early in the day. Makes it look like its sand blasted but its not! Any clues?

For all rubber seals and other rubbing parts use Dupont Krytox lubricant. When I had my SLK the rubbers made a lot of noise when the body flexed. All were fixed with that "recommended" lube. Also worked on my Audi. Will be trying on my IS350 F Sport driver door seals soon too. Ex: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dupont-Krytox-240-Ab-Grease-/222387363385?hash=item33c751de39:g:7cUAAOSwT5tWG2ix

Ive got V20 maps working 100% Needed to use DVD-R.

DAB is known for issues like this generally. I doubt it can be fixed other than having extra aerials in the car to get the strongest signal direction. It should be ok on some channels when you stop. There was talk some time back of having extra repeaters in city areas like phone repeaters to make it work but someone has to pay for them...

They replied to me saying it wont suit my Australian model! :(
