  1. Worst case may need to remove bottle and give it a very good clean. It may have a build up of hard water residue and grime coating the plastic. This will aid bacteria growth. You could try 1/2 filling with vinegar followed by a cup-full of baking soda. Then after it has reacted try to wash it out fully. Stubborn surface grime may be able to be cleaned off with a cup-full of nuts, bearings etc and sloshing it around to dislodge the grime. Remove pump 1st. Followed by a good wash out. Note: I have never removed a washer bottle from a Lexus IS yet but the time will come.
  2. Best way to isolate noise is to swap wheel to other side and check again.
  3. You can use the stock one if the springs stay trapped on droop and you don't modify the bump stops.
  4. Can you message me if you get the DVD? 🙂
  5. That version is dealer only atm. Do you have the 26CD (DVD) ? Baz
  6. Removed the door panel again today. Everything tight. Just cannot see where it rattles from when window is down 30mm or so 😞 A small bit of play in scissor arms but no repeatable noise. Greased everything up again anyway. Got me beat.
  7. 2006-2012 Lexus IS series upgrade to 2021 ISF Version Front Bumper (car-act.com) A lot of work gone into this. I wont be getting one anytime soon but seen the results and it looks pretty good 🙂 This from an US forum. https://au.lexusownersclub.com.com/2mycfme7
  8. Doesn't look like a Lexus/Toyota button. Can you trace the wires from it?
  9. LEXUS RX350 2006-2008 RIGHT SIDE ENGINE ROOM COVER 53795-48050 | eBay A long way from home 😞
  10. Meths or rubbing alcohol is ok but sandpaper will take off the thin silver plate. Use a bit of an old stocking etc.
  11. There are old posts from a few years ago I think. Not too many getting modded now as the parts are hard to get. Go with your heart. You wont see any improvements other than sound imo.
  12. Hi and welcome. What do you want to know. mine is an 2012 IS350 Fsport 🙂
  13. That will be the day 😞
  14. Some after market head units have a set up menu that allows you to map buttons. This is assuming the standard loom see's the buttons.
  15. Firstly I would get your mechanic to use a known oil pressure gauge to check oil pressure. I would also get a couple of oil analysis done to see what wear there is. I would also get a compression check done. THEN I would start chasing up a rebuild if needed.. Prob be a lot cheaper than another 2nd hand engine swap.
  16. Lexus states a lower pressure than nominal. IMO Try 36 for starters. Steering feel will improve as well.
  17. I put Michelin PS4 on my IS350. I run them at 38psi all around. Wear is very even. Very happy with the grip including in the wet. A lot less Yellow light flashing. 🙂 2nd set I went up one size in width 5mm... A few benefits . 1st is rims are now a little bit better protected, speedo error is reduced by approx 2kph, traction seems better again 🙂 Bob Jane always had the best fitted prices at the time.
  18. Also Check under the rear guards for the air relief panels. The rubber flap can perish letting in exh from the low pressure area under rear of car.
