Looking for a set of the 17" multispokes with tyres, I bought the car with badly corroded alloys.

Anyone know where I could get some?

Good Morning,

Im based around the Heathrow area and my plastic key case has snapped again. I previously went to timpsons to cut the two blanks I have but now they have decided its company policy to not cut other peoples blanks. I have been to many locksmiths who say they cannot cut my blanks. Im getting frustrated and at the moment I have to turn my key with a pair of pliers.

Does anyone know where I can get them cut. Around my area people are saying they cant do them!!

Hello there,

I bought my 2004 is200 in October and has been a great car thus far. Only 75k on the clock and runs like a dream. In March my car overheated on a -2 celcius evening on the way home from work. I let the car cool and drove ti home didnt touch the red. Diagnosed the problem as the thermostat. I did a coolant bleed but noticed there wasnt a great deal in there. I removed radiator cap filled up with Pink coolant 50/50 with distilled water.

I noticed however that my reservoir tank was empty and has continued to do so.

Weeks passed and i kept my eye on the radiator fluid levels as reservoir tank has always shown empty. Topped up the radiator so i could see pink. I was using a litre a week at least.

Checking the engine bay there is white residue. I have checked the oil and its all fine. There is coolant in the engine bay but not a great deal and it doesnt leave puddles.

I over heated once again but upon letting it cool and top up it ran at half temperature ever since.

Last night sitting in traffic it went to very high again i immediately pulled over and let it cool. Once it cooled to just over half i removed the cap half way to let pressure out as I could hear the gurgle. The pressure fired it 6 feet into the air and all over the engine bay. Moved the car half a mile moved up to hot within 10 seconds so I parked up and left the car. Returned to the car 4 hours later topped up with normal water to get it home and ran good as gold.

My questions are why isnt coolant going into my reservoir and i keep getting trapped air pockets in the system. I suspect a leak perhaps but theres no water going into the reservoir. Its very annoying because my car is going through coolant like no tomorrow and i would like to get it running smooth without worrying about it over heating.

Many thanks

Dane

Morning!

I bought myself a is200 sport with the aero kit on with the 11 spoke multispoke alloys which are suffering from the usual blistering and corrosion. My car is silver and the alloys are currently gun metal grey.

Im looking at getting them refurbed and diamond cut with the polished face. Was wondering if anyone have had this done before on the multispokes. I was also thinking of having the insides painted gloss black or grey as a contrast.

cheers
