Hammerite, many members have used it over the years with vinyl decals. Callipers done get that hot.

Any lexus under 2005 can be converted to LPG

I have ceramic coating on a 14 year old Toyota, paintwork still looks like new and get many comments on how nice it is. The ceramic is probably worn off but it has kept the car in very good condition for it's age. You are not suppose to wax the car afterwards, but I do now. Also had ceramic on the glass (think its ceramic) and its like fresh rainX that never wears off. Cleaning is much easier.

i took extended warranty out for my old IS250. The dealer refurbished the wheels and After 9 months they started to bubble. So claimed a new set. Very expensive BBS wheels. When i had IS220d it was always in for warranty work, mounted up to many 1000's from engine gasket to a vibrating gear knob, made sure everything was sorted. Not one quibble from Lexus, True to their word. Not all about the engine and running gear reliability, it's worth it for annoying rattles from the interior or small annoying things that shouldn't be in a Lexus.

Not seeing any issues this end.

Welcome along Martyn. My Favourite colour interior!

Does anyone else have any more IS200 or IS300 (1st Gen) buying advice?

I have now added the new Lexus ES 300h club for everyone. Let the discussions begin 😄

Its the same because we also own FOC as well as Toyota. The discounts are all in the menu at the top, there are lists here Point taken and I will look at getting the list more prominent.

Unfortunately, we have had some who have faked their membership to obtain discounts so we have restricted it to gold members eyes only. Sorry.

Hi Guys All discounts were negotiated with the person listed. Dealers may seem suprised they have never seen one when in they have only been in the role a month or two. Dealer staff move about quite a lot. I have the email from Philipp who confirmed the discount last October. They are due to be contacted to renew for a further year. Unfortunately we have no control on dealer discounts and what they offer. We contact them and they complete the form and thats all we can do. Most will honour and over the 15 years we have only had a handful of complaints. What we usually say if anyone asks is to check with the dealer before taking up gold (not unless you are doing it to support the club) I will have a go at re-contacting the dealers to update the list.

Because imports have no emmision testing / rating on the v5 so they cannot rate the car when it coems to tax. So they have a standard tax rate.
