Ok, so the left side of the radio display has gone dark . Could someone please tell me the bulb type I need, and would it be fairly easy to change?

Recently had both my engine and transmission mounts replaced. Since then, when the engine is cold and on "choke", I can feel it lightly "wobbling/vibrating" from inside the car... any idea's?

I'm having the same dilemma! 

Had this on my wife's IS, turned out t be a loose connection in the switch on the stalk... I have to give it a "fondle" on the back 'till it comes back on ;)

Thank you, I will investigate tomorrow

Could you tell me the location and what the fuse Is labelled as Colin?

I don't know the layout of the gear change on your car but I thought that had happened to my car but then realised after being told by a well knowledgeable LOC member that when you put the gear stick into D if you are also able to pull the gear stick to the right that cuts out the CC. Mike.

Thanks for the reply Mike. Moving the gear shift to the right puts the gearbox out of D and into 3, changing between the two still doesn't switch the cc on at all and I can't find a fuse associated with it?

Does anybody know if the cruise control in a 1999 is200 auto has it's own fuse? It worked going to work this morning, but didn't coming home - there is no light coming on on the dash any more???

Tyia.

Would like to come to this (last meet we went to was Bruntingthorpe many moons ago ), but not 100% if I'll be able to at the moment :winky:

Parrot Bluetooth, and very impressed with replacing the interior courtesy light bulb with an LED for just a couple of quid!

All working now.

That sounds very mean indeed :) bet she feels free now and moves well compared to before

Cheers Addz, she seems to be a lot "looser"... but maybe that's just the extra noise!

The good thing also is there's not a loud drone inside the car like I had with my old GS300 + pipes - that was almost unbearable!!! lol

You've got to love that 'loose' feeling. That's good - sounds as though you've gone for the perfect set-up :)

Indeed, mid sport is spot on! ;)

I always use T-cut...

What advice do you need mate?

The link works ok for me

Alan

Thanks Alan ;)

Link appears to be dead.

It's definitely nice having an exhaust system fitted

Ok, try the link again...

Been saving my pennies for months, so took a trip to MIJ in Walsall to get a stainless mid sport catback system fitted.

Sounds like what a V8 should sound like now!!!

The performance difference between a GS300 and GS430 is quite considerable, the GS430 has some serious get up and go. That's not to say the GS300 isn't nippy, but in comparison to GS430, feels quite pedestrian.

I'll second that! :winky:

Nice tidy looking GS!

Had this on my last GS and replaced the motor myself.

You can buy the motors on eBay, and there's a good tutorial on youtube which I followed with no problems. :winky:

Just had an OBDII reader plugged in the car which came up with a stored code of P0430 - CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHHOLD BANK 2.

Had the code erased and all seems good now - no engine check light.

I think the code came up as a result of the fitter releasing both flanges while the car was running to put sealer on which I suppose partly stopped the centre cat getting the full flow, throwing up the fault?

Probably associated with the recent work carried out on the exhaust so you need to check all the sensors which were disturbed and the wiring to them.

First thing would be to have the OBDII fault codes read which should lead you in the right direction.

Well I watched the guy unscrew them, then put them back in so as far as I could see there was no problems there? I will get the fault codes read on Monday hopefully.

The car runs fine as it is, will I be doing any damage by still driving it?

Yesterday (Friday) I had the front exhaust section (with the 2 sensors) removed by the local garage so I could weld up a split in the centre, which they then re-fitted.

This morning I have noticed the engine warning light is staying on... any idea's? :shutit:

Got mine - many thanks!
