  1. Hi .. Check the following. Make sure there is no klunky gear change between 1st and 2nd gear. Make sure the throttle doesn't get stuck down when you floor it. Has happened to me and is pretty interesting when it happens. Make sure you don't mind that the boot is really small and it is pretty slow off the mark (when its going its ok but you have to gun it to make it shift.) Anyhow if you do buy it, hope its a trouble free one.. Good luck.
  2. Many thanks.. I'll check out these links and let you know!!!!! You may have saved my life and my no claims bonus!
  3. I have just bought an IS200 SE 52 plate. I thought this was an excellent motor and different from all the BMW's that are everywhere. I've had it for three weeks and have decided it is either going to try to kill me or fall apart on me. Whichever comes first. The biggest worry is that three times now the accelerator has stuck down on me. It's hard to replicate it always seems to happen when I drop down a gear and floor the throttle. The first time it happend, I was heading towards a roundabout and had to drop the clutch, hit the brakes and get my foot under the accelerator and push it up with my foot. The last time it happened it nearly propelled me towards the back end of a car ahead of me. There are a couple of posts that seem to be the same problem but everyone is blaming the mats.. I don't think this is the case! Next time it happens I'll try and see if I can see whats behind it .. But generally I'm too busy stopping myself becoming road kill. The other problem is the klunky second gear - (Loads of posts on this problem). In fact the gear box itself feels a bit klunky but it might be I just need to get used to it. Last problem is the alloys are corroded and are basically very badly manufactured. In fact! I'm really miffed I didn't end up buying the BMW!
  4. I have just bought an IS200 - It has done 37,000 miles and find that getting into second gear is klunky. There are loads of posts on this site regarding this. I think there is a general fault that can affect these gear boxes.. (especially,most people say, when the box is cold.) I'm not that impressed with the gear box at all. I've have some other problems aswell and frankly wished I had brought something else.
