Re-programme the windows. It happens any time you disconnect your battery for a while.

Go to each window and;
- press down and hold until window slides down fully
- continue holding/pressing down for 3 seconds
- immediately press up and hold until window slides up fully. Continue holding up for 3 seconds.

That window is now re-programmed and you should be able to control it from driver side control.

Two Lexus cars I like, Gs and is. The rest I don't really care much about. Any variant of these two will be a great car to own and drive. above average fuel consumption for engine size, drive comfort, tonnes of toys to play with and reliability to name but a few. If you're feeling happy, then the mark levinson premium audio system with 14 speakers will blow your mind away.

Gs 350 SE-L (only available in the states anyway) other locations settle for the 300
Is 250 SE-L (or even the F sports)

Forget suv's if you're not on a dirt road, whats the flipping point?


I'm getting a 2010 is250 SE multimedia pkg. Cant wait grin grin grin grin (Road tax and insurance on the GS is stupid else I would have had that)

How much can I get 2010 Is 250 SE-L

Plz I have been a keen follower of this thread. I currently own an Es300 but I intend to buy the IS 250.. I dont know how durable it is... or common problems etc. Will it be a good buy?.

I'm a bachelor so its size especially at the rear doesnt matter for now.... I also dont mind the 2.5ltr engine...

But I hear its prone to electrical problems and the steering is EPS which cost around 400k... plz someone should do justice to my concerns

I doubt it has electrical problems. The only issue i know of in the is250 is the carbon buildup on the intake valves which causes misfires and engine problems.
I guess you like small sporty cars. But since you already cruise an es300, you are used to the length.
I have a fresh toks es350. Try that. It's a better upgrade on your es300 than the is250.
Cheers.

Hello everyone.

I have an ES330 which I got earlier this year.

Since i got it I always had shock absorber issues, It makes noise both in the front and back when in gallops, I have changed the shocks twice using both tokunbo and new set, It works but after a while it get spoilt.

Another issue

The CD is jammed with one CD inside, When i switch on the car, it makes a kind of noise, It also shows that the disc loaders are full
This happened after I changed the battery and some circuit breakers.

Thanks

Bad shocks cause serious vibration and bouncing. Noise when in gallop is caused by other suspension components like bushings, linkages etc. But physical inspection can lead to appropriate diagnosis.

As for the CD loader, a radiocian should solve your issues not a mechanic.

Hello everyone, I recently changed the power steering pump on my Lexus RX 330 but the steering is still a bit stiff and still makes noise when the steering wheel is turned fully. I am suspecting that the pump is faulty as I bought a tokunbo pump as recommended by my mechanic.
Any help on what to do will be highly appreciated. Thanks all.

Put the recommended fluid and guage it properly. What out for shortage of the fluid. If there s no shortage and the noise continues then the pump is bad . Return it asap and get a new one if you can. Most of these wicked 2nd hand dealers will never be honest.

Have you scanned your vehicle?.....

Do you always enjoy your AC, whilst driving?...

Do you have a heavy right foot?...

Do you regularly service your vehicle + change spark plugs?.....

Is your catalyst converter still in place?....

Is your thermostat still in place?....

What does thermostat got Todo with fuel consumption?

Little do you know........


Let me give you a very small lecture......... It would be brief, so you can understand very easily......


Are you listening/reading........

Removing the TS from your vehicle, increases the load on your engine....... Higher load = Higher fuel consumption....... (1)


Your vehicle would run very rich, because vehicle is running rich....... The richer the vehicle, the poorer your fuel consumption....... (2)

Excessive wear on your engine, making your engine weaker, a weaker engine would put more strain on the engine. A weaker engine would have to compensate....... Compensation = More fuel consumption..... (3)


Come back for more lectures 2moro...... Don't THANK ME....... cheesy

1. You remove thermostat from your engine and this makes your engine always cold.

2. The engine is designed to function optimally at a certain temperature range (middle mark) but the engine cannot get to the range because of continuous cooling caused by the removed thermostat.

3. The on board computer(brainbox) will try to get more heat in an attempt to reach optimum temperature as explained in 2 above and the only way is to burn more fuel.

4. Burning more fuel = high fuel consumption.

Stop questioning elders!
