    Thanks Stav. She's come back and told me that her engine is a 1.25 litre. Does that mean it's more likely to be the problem you've seen or not ?
  2. Steviewevie
    I'm checking on the engine, but Stav is that ICV something that can just be cleaned, or would it need replacing ?

    1. No effect, yes they will still come on automatically if you use that setting. 2. You have side lights, dipped beams and main beam. HIDs are for dipped or main beam, or both, not for side lights. Most people put HIDs in their dipped beams. A few have them in main beam too, and if you do that you'll need an additional HID kit. 3. Yes, you can still adjust beam level in the same way. 4. 4300K will be closest to OEM xenons and brightest. 6000K will be slightly less bright and have a very sight hint of blue (but not enough to cause problems with the police). At 8000K you start becoming more obviously blue.

    It must be the "old" shape one, i.e. the one immediately before the brand new one that's just come out, judging from the model year she's mentioned. Thanks, I'll check what the engine is.

    Ooh, I knew they'd changed design but didn't realise you could just slot in the new holder. Think I might be ordering one of those ! :D Edit - just ordered one. Part number 55618-53040 seems to have been superseded by an updated part 55618-53041, so it's the latter that I've ordered, £15.53 including VAT and a Gold discount.

    Lexus/Toyota dealer, part number 42603-53090. They're not cheap though.
  7. Steviewevie
    Wow !
  8. Steviewevie
    Yeah, 4300K will be brighter than 6000K.

    A friend of mine is having a problem with her Fiesta, wonder if anyone out there in LOC-land might have any ideas. This isn't the same friend whose "clutch" problem turned out to be a mat stuck under the accelerator pedal lol. This is what she said :

    I didn't find the site myself, I'm sure I got it from a thread on here a while back.

    You can find comprehensive parts diagrams and complete lists of parts if you go here and type in the details of your car. Wonder if this should be stickied somewhere along with the online workshop manual link ?

    Think Tony's deffo the man for this !
  14. Steviewevie
    My guess was wrong then, thanks for the correction :D

    Where does it feel like it's coming from ? Does it seem like a "driveline shunt" sort of thing where the engine is moving on its mountings ? Does it happen if you gradually take your foot off the accelerator or only if you take it off suddenly after revving it ? I guess if it's still under warranty you can take to to the dealer and see what they think.

    Yes, no and yes. It really is that simple, yes, just remove the fuses, wait a bit, then re-insert them and the ECU will have been reset. Don't think there are any risks if you just do that, the only thing I can think of is that if your engine check light is on and there are some codes to be read associated with that, then you'll lose them if the ECU is reset. If your light is not on then there will be nothing to be read. Yes it should help the ECU re-learn if you change the type of fuel.

    Looks good John, thanks for the pics !

    The Toyota code for the IS200 is GXE10. As another example, the Altezza is SXE10.
  19. Steviewevie
    Trouble with the Toyota fascia is that you lose the heated seat switches, don't you ?
  20. Steviewevie
    By the way, the walkthrough doesn't specifically show a double-DIN example. But I'm in the process of sorting mine out on the moment. I intend to post up some pics of that to add to the walkthrough, depends how long it takes me I guess as to whether I'll have my pics up in time for you ! The instructions with the fascia show how to use it either for double-DIN or single-DIN.
  21. Steviewevie
    What are you looking for ? Handling improvements, lowering, what are your priorities other than ride quality ?
  22. Steviewevie
    IS200 and SX200 confusion ?
  23. Steviewevie
    This looks like the right fascia kit. Not used this seller myself. Or this one.
  24. Steviewevie
    I got my fascia and lead together from here. The facia works either with a double-din head unit or single-din (with pocket). Don't think the seller has one up at the moment.
