I would steer clear as others have said, email the link to the trading standards office that is closest to High Wycombe, they will probably confirm what we all think I don't know all the ins and outs of car dealers, but if they are offering cars as unroadworthy, then its just like buying from a breakers?

IS300?

I don't think i'd ever wait 10 years/100k for the belts

i'm not 100% sure I understand what u mean about the pulse bulbs in the fogs, I understand the different angle and the contact, but are you saying that the result is that they flash even under light braking due to the permanent contact of the "thingy"?

don't get dark wheels :D I have green with silver standard wheels and when they are clean the car looks really nice, and some chav near me has one too but he has dark (possibly black) wheels and his car looks cack if you want aftermarket wheels, go bigger if you don't mind losing a bit of the ride comfort, 19's fill the arches very nicely on these cars, but 18's are also nice all just my opinion, Welcome too by the way

ah ok, I did spot ur other thread after this one but i'd already replied, I haven't got one of those anymore, sorry

5 or 11 spoke? both were "normal" alloys on the sport, depending on age

plus the job of air con is a little more than keeping you cool, it is recommended you use it every so often according to the manual I think

it blows less as the fan is set to AUTO, turn the right hand dial to increase fan speed

s'goosed, leave it long enough and u'll get the error code

I have already seen the headlights and also been in contact with bluemackie, he doesnt have a green bumper I want to save costs of paint! - Hence why I want GREEN parts if possible :) yeh I figured that :P I asked him out of interest as they were taken off cars that were new so aren't damaged and come with washer mechs, wasn't sure if it was worth it to paint I have that green one on watch too Dimitris but it states scratched and painting recommended, bit pricey I think so i'm gonna wait for it to not sell and be re-listed hopefully cheaper

Clicky - Headlights Also if u still need a bumper bluemackie777 is selling some on ebay, I asked if he had green (as I could do with one also) but he has none, but he said most bumpers do still have the washer mechs attached, and cost £100 delivered, maybe worth repainting??

i'm best not leaving the laptop in the boot in future aren't I?

until your final day, switch the phone off :D

WIM is Wheels in Motion, a company that specialises in sorting your geometry, and tyres, and I think lots of other stuff :D many members have been to WIM to have their Geometry checked and adjusted and if you have uneven wear, you need Wim'ing its unusual the patterns of tyre wear we experience, its a known fact the IS standard set up has given many owners premature tyre wear, I had 18's on my car originally and they wore evenly the whole time on the car, admittedly only for about 6 months, but when I went back to 17's my inner edges on the front wore quickly and had to be replaced, I have budget tyres on the fronts now and have had for a while and they appear to be wearing evenly, they have been on since Oct, and have done 9000 miles

I dunno if its just me but i've seen a few IS300's advertised as Limited Edition but I'm guessing traders just put that as its not as common as the 200? I know the Kodiak sky limited edition is available in both 200 and 300, but all the rest are just normal IS300's aren't they? however its a fine example you have there, the shade the wheels are painted looks nice with silver too

I've seen a few of these and they always catch my attention, did u px in the end?

IS300 has ful leather seats instead of half leather Edit: as mentioned above but I wasn't as quick lol

theres a black one local to me with gold badges, it always looks odd to me

looks very nice indeed, first black one i've seen with LE grille, goes very well too

o yeh I forgot to mention Kodiak sky, how rare is the LE model, i've not seen many but I do see a few for sale on trader, I like that colour too

I would go for 18's rather than 17's, when I first went back to 17's from 18's it looked very strange, looks normal now tho they been on for 2 years lol

I prefer White and will start looking for a White IS300 soon, I like Black and Scarlatti red too, and I love Antimony Blue, Granite Sky and Strachcaron blue are ok, I don't like Aztec fire, Platinum Ice or Kensington Green, altho I have Kensington green, lol

change it due to age and it should be 6 years or 60k, dunno why hatfield have told you 100k as it was revised a while back, i'd get it done either way, piece of mind if nothing else :D I had mine done by a BMW specialist, some members have even done the job themselves and I believe a walk through has been put on the forum somewhere for those not technically minded as although its a few hours work, its quite straight forward

is it not the antenna connection, but internally
