thats cool dude. I too am practising the pose. not long to go now. :P :D :)

Thats what i want to hear, sub 2 quid repair bills! :P

its OK Billsy my suggestion of paypal and a public recommendation to Mr Singh to let you in on the deal im sure hasnt gone unappreciated by your good self. Its OK you dont have to thank me for it :D

Ive had a look in the manual seems easy enought where do i get the bulb.... Halfords etc? Are they only like a few quid i suppose?

Not sure. Presumed to do with electrics. But then im very new to all this so ur guess is as good as mine (if not better)

If you paypal Mr Singh the readies by say tomorrow then im sure he can add you on the list still.... cant you Mr Singh?

If not sorry you missed out mate, im sure there will be other GB's! :D

Ok so thats the pads sorted. When and how would you know the brake discs need changing as opposed to the pads which are more than 3mm left for me (i think, will look again)

Thanks

you guys are priceless. The cigarette lighter works fine so electrics are ok. I checked for your other suggestion and guess what the rear left brake light is out.

Thanks for the pointers guys i would have looked a right burk down at the dealers.

PS. Not being car minded, what do i do just stick in another brake light bulb? I can do it my self from inside the boot right? Just a simple bulb change right?

Thanks

Well its Friday so its the end of the week.... what to do oh what to do? I feel bad for leaving others out but for the greater good of the group (buy) I suppose we go ahead without them?

Im counting down my 30 days already.... cant wait.

May seem silly question to knowledable folk but im not one of them.... how do you know when the brake pads needs replacing as opposed to the brake discs. And when and why would you repalce both brake discs and pads?

oh thanks. Here was i thinking its the handbrake when all alon git was the friging brake fluid.

Ta

fell of chair laughing. :P

I phoned this company... http://www.lostcarkeys.co.uk/ and they said they will sort me out one remote OEM lexus master key and one non remote OEM Lexus master key seen as I have a valet key already. This would mean i would have the full complete of keys i should have for IS200.

They will come to my work or house and can do it same day, programmed and everything all for a price of 400 pounds plus VAT.

I will give a few of my local Lex dealers a ring tomorrow and see what they are quoting and post the prices on here for all LOC members to see

Hello Stopher

i have an idea why dont you forget the bank and definitely forget sending cash by airmail as it'll take ages. Just pay Mr Singh using good old paypal.com

Only a suggestion. :D

ooooh d :tsktsk: n it! Thats it tomorrow i will go to Lexus Woodford and just give them however much they demand to get myself a master key sorted out. i cant keep walking around with just the one valet key as i loose things way too often.

Thanks.

I need a master key. Does this look ok to all and is the price any good?

Thanks

I only have one (previous LOC post tells me i only have a valet key) key. i can get hold of a another master key on fleabay but it obviously 1, isnt programmed to my IS200 and 2, the keys blade is not the same as mine. The advert says i can "easily change the blade and have it reprogrammed to my own car".

Is this true and if so where can i get it done and how much will it cost so i can factor those costs in if i decide to buy this key?

Thanks.

i agree. Well said.

im going to have a look the moment i get home. Thanks

My handbrake warning indicator in the dash wont turn off. I have applied and released the handbrake many times to make sure but the indicator stays on all the time. The car drives as normal as far as i can see, and i have been on the motorway to Heathrow too (at 70mph+) with no adverse reactions so does that mean the indicator is just faulty or that my handbrake is kaput?

How can i rectify it and more importantly how much will it cost does anyone know?

Any help much appreciated.

oops didnt realise, im searching right now.

Thanks peeps

I just got my IS200, i have noticed, and it was advertised as such, that it is badged in gold. Im not a big fan as the gold is ever so slightly fading. The "L" (front grill and back) the "Lexus" and the "IS200" badges are all like this.

I was thinking about removing everything on the back and changing the font grill to a "TRD" one or one that looks like a TRD one.

My question to LOC members is, is this a suitable move for a standard non mod 2000 reg SE Auto Navigator and if so whats the best way to do it, just yank the badges off?.... wont that leave unsightly marks on the car where the badges used to be? How to remove them?

Please advise, especially if you have done it to so i can learn from your experience.

PS. I know its not the biggest or most technical mod in the world but thats why you guys are here... to advise and reassure :D

Of course, if you go visit the right dealer you will benefit from up to 15% discount as you are a Gold Member!

Oh i see now.... Im so stupid. I thought Mr T was a member.... i was doing a search for him. As my Gold pack hasnt turned up yet i do not know which dealers participate and which dont. Until my pack arrives im blind.... can a Gold member inform me of any Toyota/Lexus dealers in Central/East London participating in the scheme?

Give them a call and see what they quote....but I'll bet they don't come much cheaper than Mr T

sorry...being new and all that... who is Mr T and how am i to find and get a good deal from this mythical creature u call "Mr T". Hehe

How about this outfit?
