Thanks for that guys im proud to say that i've gone gold,

I only done this last night i'm still unable to log in though guess I need to wait yntill I get my stuff through from LOC first?

Ta

Good to see mods aere still being done properly and not like your usal civic, love the Evo type bonet FANTASTIC did not know the lid was possible or available

Oh and a shame you forgetting your breed weres the badges you got a lexus and let the world know it

[yeah cant believe it consumption way worse than what i expected but i guess thats the price you pay fro driving a nice car OH amd only just today i noticed the windscreen wiper problem BOSH it is had no problem as yet with brakes though

Cheers Guys

Fantastic i think they should teach that as standard well at least to female drivers anyway LOL

if the air con is that bad may just be down to the filter no need to go to approved dealer and spend a fortune getting it checked replacing the filter is something you can do yourself (Providing it is only the filter) i've had my IS200 for 3 weeks and love the air con something im not used to coming from a Fiat Punto 1.2

IF THEY SAID THEY DO 127P CHECK GET THEM TO COUGH UP FOR IT

Hope this helps

seems i've started some debate over the pros and cons off gold membership Gord how do you get 15% off without going gold?

I have no desire to go to main lexus dealers either but some things are best left to them as i'm sure everyone appreciates it can be quite expensive so if the gold membership can help me get a few quid off then great.

Can anyone tell me (Especially gold memebers) how it actually works getting a discount on parts and labour? is it just a case of telling the dealer your a member or do I need to go through LOC?

Evening all

I've been thinking about this for some time now, whats the real benefits of subscribing to LOC gold membership?

the only reason I ask is

i've got a cam belt change next week (£320) as talked about in previous topics, and natrully I want to keep the costs down. Gold memebsr Site talks about saving money at Lexus Dealers etc how does this work and will it save me money on my cam belt change If I joined today?

Thanks

Wow thats so much cheaper than I been quoted hanleys some 140miles away though bit far I was quoted £400 from Reading Lexus, £320 from Oxford and now Hanley at £190 im supprised there is so much variation i would have thought it ed be standard fixed prices nationaly in the mean time ill keep looking for a better deal

thanks for looking that up by the way

Will becoming a gold member save me money at main Lexus Dealers Then?

Thanks for your help guys your right sorry 1000.00miles or 6 years

mine is at 68500 now and its seven years old so probably needs changing

I tried 4 Local garages and none of them can do a cam belt change they recon theres to many specialist tools etc which only Lexus hold.

So im booked on a collect and return service next week with Oxford Lexus and they gonna give me lovely Courtesy car (All Free Buy the way Guys) whilst the belt is being replaced.

£320.00 but suppose peace of mind it's being done properly

Thanks

The book sugests cam belt replacement every 10years or 100.000m but ive just been tol by lexus that it was brought forward to 6Years or 60.000 so i'm trying to get a good deal on cam belt and drive belts (NEW)

for IS200SE any ideas? Lexus want £350.00

Ta

Sounds most likely cause thanks mate, Nice wheels by the way :D

Good Morning Guys

I've had my 99 IS200 for nearly 3 weeks now and love it BUT......

When I start her up on cold mornings i'm getting a crunching noise for a few seconds as if im forcing the ignition key in the on position? it's only when shes cold every other time shes fine starts like a dream. any ideas?

Is it starter motor Siezin up?

Thanks

Guys

After replacing Batteries in all 3 Key fobs for 99 IS200 I found they just wont work i've tried the recoding proces several times and the key fobs still wont work. Although on a couple of occasions 1 key might lock but not unlock and vice versa with another key.

Could be there may be a problem with the remote receiver?

Anything else I can do before a long trip back to Lexus.

Cheers Guys/Girls

I've just replaced the batteries in the key fobs and now they wont work I really dont want to pay Lexus a fortune for something I can do myself does anyone know the reset code sequence?

I Have a IS200

Thanks in advance

Good to know there is always people out there willing to help out,

Thanks Guys

While the engine is running and the battery is charging the voltmeter should show around 14v

Thanks for the info Battery indicator that puts my mind at rest,

ive also noticed that 1st and 2nd gaer changes (only occasionly) can be a bit clunky is this a sign that the gear box is on its way out or just needs some getting used to? im covered on warrenty for the 1st £1000 but knowing lexus a gearbox wont be far of that?

Afternoon all,

I took Ownership of my first Lexus IS200 yesturday and what a dream to drive ive been reading through the Manual and found that the Battery indicator should always show half way between 0-18V Mine seems to sit Constantly about 3quaters up on the dial? Is this serious and how can it be fixed?

Many Thanks

Proud New Lexus Owner
