I saw this and thought some of you might like to take a look. It's not often you find these any more.... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111266358020?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D111266358020%26_rdc%3D1

I haven't seen a sales brochure but I have seen this that might be worth a look on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111266358020?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D111266358020%26_rdc%3D1

Interestingly I have decided to go with Lexus discs and pads too but fitted by a trusted local garaged for £50+VAT. Discs and pads I can get from Lexus for 136.66.

Hi everyone, I just wondered what everyone is currently recommending for discs and pads at the moment, I'm not talking performance parts just original equipment equivalents. Last time I canvassed opinion it became apparent that most regarded Standard Mintex discs and pads as a good replacement. What are we all thinking now? I have to say I bought some Mintex discs online last time, yet sadly I don't have a real opinion of them because they warped rather quickly. You might think that is a bad reflection on the disc but the problem was caused by ill-fitting of the discs and some pads. Never used that garage again I can tell you. Anyway they were quickly replaced with some of the shelf parts that a mechanic had on the shelf, I think they were Opec branded. I just wanted the car back on the road at that point and didn't pay as much attention as I should. Anyway I'm more than happy to try Mintex again if the canvassed opinion on here is that they are still good parts. Kind Regards Mark

Hi Guys there is an excellent deal going on a full set of 6 spark plugs on ebay at the moment. The plugs are proper IS200/300 spec iridium sparks made by NGK and they are going for £30 buy it now! I would buy them myself but I have just bought a set of NGK's which I have found to be a much better plug than the Denso's. Anyway I just though I'd let you know. Oh and here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEXUS-IS200-RX300-RX400-NGK-Iridium-Spark-Plugs-x-6-/110701448869?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19c6520ea5#ht_500wt_1156

Hi everyone, I'm sure just like me you are probably on the Lexus mailing list and get invited to all sorts of things but I just wondered if anyone on here will be going to Rhinefield house either on the 27th or 28th of this month. It's a little event where you can test drive up to three models from the Lexus range and get a BLT and some orange juice too by the looks of things! I've booked up and my dad an I will be testing the CT200H, the 2011 IS250 and the 2011 ISF! To be honest if it wasn't for the chance to drive the ISF I might not have gone but it should be a fun day and I want another test drive in the IS250 as I've been thinking about replacing my beloved IS200. Anyway just wondered who was going! Thanks Mark

Thanks for your help. I'm not necessarily replacing the coil packs but I wanted to get an idea of the pricing because as the IS200 gets older these seem to go occasionally and I like to know what I'm up against.

I think that is a mistake only the sport cross has folding seats.

Hi there it's almost service time again for me and my IS200SE I'm looking to keep costs down, as are we all no doubt so basically I have a list of items which I'd like to get part numbers for and also if you have any suggestions of where to get this stuff cheaply that would be great. Iridium Spark plugs. Oil Filter. Pollen Filter. Air Filter. Coil Packs. Also what grade of oil do our IS200's take? Thanks In advance Mark

Hi everyone I currently have an IS200 and I'm decided that an IS250 will be its replacement so I've done the usual autotrader haul and there appears to be some good cars around for example a sub 20000 mile IS250 SE-L manual (which is what I'm after) for around £12999. I'm looking mainly at the SE-L's but to be honest if there is a saving to be had and there was a particularly nice example of an SE I could forego the multimedia improvements of the SE-L. Anyway I usually frequent the IS200 part of this forum and what I would like from you guys if you can spare the time is some top buying advice and a list of things to look out for the year I'm looking to buy would likely be between 55 and 07. In fact the SE-L I mentioned above is an 07 plate, so the things I'm wondering are were there any revisions to the IS250 models over those years, is there a better year? Any re-calls to be aware of? Is there a year of car which would offer more value for example would an 08 SE be a better buy than an older 06 SE-L? Does the IS250 suffer from any geometry issues like the inner tyre wear that the IS200 suffered from? Any weak points in the interior trim? Any issues with alloy corrosion? Any engine related issues on hot or cold starts? Anyway that kind of thing I just want to be as well informed as possible and not seem like an easy target or noob to the car sales man. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards Mark

WIM all the way!

Hi Guys, I was just wondering if any of you knew where the fuse for the rear heated screen is located. Is it under the bonnet or in the passenger foot well? Also is this a shared fuse that operates anything else too? Thanks Mark

Dingoes at Castlepoint shopping centre in Yeovil did a great job the panel is as good as new now and I'm really chuffed with it but it cost slightly more than their standard rate at £60. If you're in the area I can seriously recommend them!

Falken 452's here for a few years now they are great all rounders!
