    This thread has motivated me to go wash my car.... But not in fairy liquid
  2. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Why would washing up liquid be harmful to your car Panya? It's not bleach...
  3. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Haha sorry.... Why is it that when you meet people who speak another language they only teach you the swear words?

    I was thinking water.... Read a few threads like this now.

    It's illegal to tint them past a certain darkness. Your front windows must let in 75% of natural daylight. I tinted the fronts on my old Primera. Got stopped by the police and they make you peel most of it off by the side of the road!

    They look good :zee: Really suit the car.

    I lived in an Afrikaans house in Bloemfontein for 6 months... All I can remember is Hoe gaan dit? Fok jou poes!

    My 200 struggled to start a few times. Filled it with high octane, Ran 3 tanks of it about 900 miles and it's never struggled since. I now use a tank of high octane every third re fill. My car always fires up instantly now :)

    No idea mate, never done it. I'm sure somebody will know.

    Actually can get it for less than £500 fully comp.... So actually cheaper than my IS200 Sport??? Wierd...
  11. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    I don't take any notice of insurance groups Pete, i should have said roughly the same insurance...All I know is my IS200 sport is £557 a year fully comp with all the extras, courtesy car, glass cover etc etc.. And for me to insure an is300 on the same package is £570... So technically you are right it's more expensive but only by £13. not gonna break the bank now is it :)

    Do you mean the receiver the key fob? I believe it's under the parcel shelf in the back.

    It was actually 12 years ago I was in Africa... Time flies! I lived in Cape Town for a year, Bloemfontein for 6 months and Pretoria for 6 months so moved all over really. We went to PE for a weekend, nice beaches :) Have you joined the Facebook IS200 page? Lots of knowledgable owners on there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/179809172041079/

    Really like that. Looks fantastic.

    Hi and welcome :) I did a bit of travelling in southern Arfica about 10 years ago. Lived in SA for 2 years. I have visited Botswana. Never saw any Lexus there tho.... Lol
  16. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Haha I'm no guru mate but thanks.... If its something other than the notchyness and clinking then yeah maybe you do have something wrong. I take it it hasn't always behaved like this. I don't really understand what you mean by 'cuts' Is it not going into gear properly? Does the revs rise but the car not respond?
  17. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Not to mention you get full leather, an armrest, HID's as standard, triptronic auto box and all the IS200 Sport extras such as alloy pedals, tinted windows, two tone steering wheel, lower suspension.
  18. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Is there any reason in particular you don't want a 300? Same insurance group, same mpg, same tax but you get a quicker car....
  19. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Hi and welcome to LOC. :) Enjoy your new car
  20. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Trust me mate it annoyed me so much when I first got the car that I researched what I could do to improve it and basically you can't. Like i said, they were like that from new. I noticed absolutely no difference after changing the oil. But yeah you should have the right oil in there to begin with. Are you only noticing the notchyness and clunks now? Mine also clunks and is notchy between 2nd and 3rd. How are you slower from the start than an auto, I'm not, if anything I'm faster. That's down to your driving style mate, riding the clutch?
  21. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Where in SA do u live? I lived in cape town for a year and also Pretoria for 6 months and Bloemfontein for 6 months. Beautiful country! :)
  22. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    How long u had the car? It's normal mate. Mines clunked for the last 15k miles since I've owned it. Changed gear box oil, no difference. Some did it from brand new Lexus Bristol told me. I've got used to it, quite like the clunk it makes now! Lol... :) Oh and I can't see how it would have anything to do with ignition coils!!
  23. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Hi and welcome. :) Same thing happened to me once. Annoying. Hope you find a good one soon.
  24. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    To me it applies even if you have the receipts. If I was buying a car from you, and to be fair I don't know you from Adam, so what guarantee is there to me as a buyer that you are competent enough to carry out the servicing yourself?
  25. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    I've always been put off by cars that say they were self serviced to be honest but everybody is different.
