cheers, can't stop smiling, wasn't gonna change til summer but I was drawn to this one

http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/c...cleRegLetter=02 I collect it Monday :D

beige arm rests exist, I got a black one and in mine which has beige interior but the black centre console means the black arm rest doesn't look out of place at all

I had a similar problem in my 250 courtesy car and was advised it was a possible optical lead fault, but I did get sound thru the radio, just not thru dvd and cd

i'd pm him with the vehicle details rather than have them on a public forum fil4362

I used Accident Exchane too, great service, and I got a call from them yesterday as Direct line where being arsey as to why I had an IS250 instead of accepting their Mondeo as a courtesy car, so I told them I drive a Lexus that I saved up for thru hard work and that their policy holder pays his premiums to give me the car I feel I deserve if they knock mine off the road still awaiting response to say its all been settled

hi and welcome, I know nothin about clutches and gears lol, but the stereo can just be swapped with a working one providing its the same model number (theres a couple of different ones depending on the age of the car) theres normally a couple knockin about on ebay and theres a walk through of how to remove the old one and replace the new one on the forum somewhere

I had a very similar bump but the car hit mine behind the rear wheel on the same side, there was panel damage but it was lower behind the bumper so was just kocked back out, and I had a new bumper and rear lip painted and fitted, and an IS250 for a week, at an estimated total cost to the third party of £700 my car is a 2000 with 76k, dunno if my info helps, but I thought i'd share as a rough guide

ebay, bluemackie777 has a few available ready painted new and cheap

It's not the same, Merc is 5x112 whereas the Lexus is 5x114.5 - however it is possible to get adapters. I'm guessing you mean replicas? As I'm sure genuine SLR alloys are probably hard to come by and ridiculously expensive! :P I actually prefer the first set of alloys, the closed design suits the IS more imho :) yeh would have to get replicas then, so probably be able to find the correct fitment too if thats the case lol

didn't realise merc fitment was the same, I might look for a set or turbines for mine from the SLR

did u declare any mods? including any factory fitted options? if not, give it a try on Adrian Flux site as u may be pleasently surprised

Tried a DVD, the picture plays but still no sound, and no response from use of the actual volume controls hopefully i'll get my car back soon and have my music back, as the antenna isn't givin the best radio reception either lol, everythin else about the car I like

yeh sorry I have IS250 hire car at the mo while minor repairs are done to mine, its same with normal retail music cds too

when I put a cd into the stereo it plays but theres no volume just the track details and the time, and when I turn the volume knob or press the steering wheel volume controls nothing comes up on the screen where the volume level should? the volume for the radio is fine tho is there somethin i'm not doin?

so far so good, no dispute over liability, my cars bein collected in the mornin and i'm usin a IS250 until I get mine back, shud be fun :D

I was lookin for an IS300 a few months back and there was one on in black for £7k, and it re-appeared for £3500 and the only difference to the ad was the first pic had an email address on it...

auto trader has had problems with hackers and suchlike, this will be another example

last week i booked my car in for its mot which was scheduled for this morning, this is my 3rd MOT with the Lex and it failed both previous MOT's, first with ball joints and last time with silly led side lights, so this year i had my fingers crossed for a possible pass, until...... Friday afternoon on my way home from work some silly old fool failed to give way at a roundabout and ripped my rear bumper clean off the car took it for its MOT this mornin with the rear bumper attached with only half of the mounting points intact and it passed without even an advisory :D now its goin thru insurance for a new back bumper and very minor panel damage and hopefully they can still give me a trd rear lip, with any luck i'll get a nice new lexus while the repairs are bein done

my brother has rs4 replicas for his VW Bora which does have a different fitment, so I imagine you can buy them with various fitments, for various makes and models, as with various other styles

got no spare cash right now

ah I know which u mean, i've got the bit that follows on from that, the main centre console part that sits around the part you need, and would have the cup holders and handbrake gater attached to it

is that the entire centre console from rear cup holder to front ashtray? or is it a bit that can be seperated, I have one full centre in a box but its taped up lol, its also 2001 onwards so its black at the front where older ones are bronze

the red car isn't a corsa is it? I like watchin idiots

ah, thats pretty cool then :D
