I know its not far away but i'm not the sort off bloke to turn down a womans suggestion of dirty weekend away buy the sounds of it though i maybe should be looking a bit further afield than wattford

Hey guys I cant see how many views there are against each topic it's been like this for a few days it just shows 0 views against each topic but the topic might have several replies Any ideas?

hey folks, Off to visit Tony @ Wheels in Motion on Saturday (wattford) to have the geomatry checked out on the IS200 And the Misses thought it might be a nice idea to spend the weekend there :winky: and get a nice little B&B somewere :winky: :winky: :winky: :winky: As i've never been anywere near wattford any Must see's or do's would be greatly appreciated. G

Can't give you a cost but any re-spray at a desent garage will respray the whole panel not just the affected areas and for 4 panels I can only imagine your not talking hundreds feel for you mate what sort of wa :tsktsk: ka would do that insurance should cover it although personally like to leave the insurance company as a last resort if i can help it I looked into a complete respray of my is200 recentley and was qouted £2000 upwards hope this helps Let us know how you get on

What a game to watch w.ham deserved a win though

That looks really nasty mate, really brings it home when you see pic's like that I actually booked an appointment with Tony @ WIM a couple of days ago to have the geometry checked over as i'm also experiancing abnormal ware on the rear tyres. Must of been a scary moment at the end of the day the car has always done its job if you walk away without any majors I really think you would struggle to prove your case in court. Happy Lexus Hunting (go to a main dealer next time)

To all you petrol heads out there that watch those petrol prices and swap from one garage to another depending on which one has come down buy a penny or 2 I came accross a website last night that checks for the cheapest petrol in your area just register your details and get 20 free searches Petrolprices.com It updates there system nearly every day and you can save a small fortune in the long run. Have a good weeken All

I'm really glad someone brought this up i got a Green IS200 every second or third day I go through the same old procedure go to the hand car wash give it a clean bring her home again dry off (Water Marks) with fluffy glove get the T Cust out & spend 3 hours waxing and polishing go to bed a happy man, get up ready for work go to open the car door and BANG every bit of dust and dirt from 5 miles around has found its way onto the paint work I think it might just be the colour makes it look worse i had a metalic blue punto b4 this and that was frustratingly clean all the time. I Just give up, time for a re-spray me thinks any suggestions? G

All I can say is that it may be a bit more expensive but if you buy from john lewis most electricals come with 5 years warrenty as standard so from that point of view your covered if it were to ever break down i know theese new plasma's can be expensive Happy HUnting G

Being 19 Me thinks your insurance premium willl go through the roof on your next renewal date must be expensive enough now i'd start saving mate, are you going for another Lexus Good Luck G

Well nice mate looks great :D

At least your still in one piece mate Well lets say I have a friend that into Supra's, EVO's and he taught me a couple of tricks you can do in rear wheel drive cars and I became addicted to it. Since its happened im to scared to ever attempt it again.

How the hell did you manage that? :o Apart from the obvious 6ft wall

Done problem solving search through google and link put me to you G

Figo, Shame I seen Lexus key on ebay couple of weeks ago for just a few quid I just had a quick browse and it's gone mate, when you do get a key contact me or just look through the topics you don't need to take the key to a dealer you can program the key yourself it's just a couple of quick procedures lexus will charge £45 plus vat to program keys frustrating when it's something you can do yourself, I just had a service at private garage £110 Hope this helps G

Just out of Curiosity who's got the current highest Mileage out there? All Models Never heard of anything past 207000 Ta

I bought My IS200 2 months ago and on inspection the rear tyres were completley worn on inside. I made dealer replace them and put it down to maybe a boy racer before me ill have to keep an eye on this one I could be making a visit to tony @ WIM Thanks for bringing this one up Cookee Any LOC discounts @ WIM?

I'm Currentley running on Michelin's (sports somethin or other) any better suggestiones to reduce road noise will be greatley received I just feel that the roar of the engine could be a little clearer/Louder WOW FACTOR (without engine mods) Low speeds are fine it just seems to be mortorways that causes me probs

Thanks Boydie That's good news i haven't heard back from them yet but thanx for info Unfortunately YES! I have been invoved in a FAULT and NON-FAULT accident and they were fantastic! I have been with them (and constantly renewing with them) for over 5 years I originally went with them as they seemed aimed at "Boy Racers" and when I was younger and had a Rover Coupe I got a quote and signed up Since growing up (not necessarily maturing) I have always found their quotes and service excellent They are essentially a broker I think - your actual insurance is likely to be with a more well known company (mine is currently with Royal Sun Alliance) I have also been promised a further 10% discount for being a LOC Gold Member when I get around to doing it ;-) I really can't fault them and if anything their service has improved (I actually received a very interesting motoring magazine free of charge last week) ALSO - I did not have to pay any extra when I got my 3 points for speeding I phoned them to notify them and I was expecting to pay an extra premium but didn't have to pay a penny - my renewal also went down so I didn't get stung there either (PHEW!) ADRIAN FLUX definitely gets my recommendation

Anyone got any quick easy tips to try and reduce the road a little on IS200 nothing fancy or complicated just come from motorway journey and just wish i could her that sweet engine noise a bit better when your when your accelerating road noise just seems to drown it out a bit guess you all know what i mean Cheers

Just cement over the dip in your drive LOL
