sometimes the cat need replacing,

I'm sure people on here have had this or similar prob with there cars

dunno if taking your car to get the emissions checked at a mot station would show anything

Hi all!

I'm new to this forum from downunder (Australia)!

I seem to have almost the exact problem with my 2004 IS200 (bought with 30,000km on it from a lady), on the freeway when I exceed 120kmh there is this really bad smell coming from the car (similar to what is described above). Also, when I change gears it tends to overrev a tad, for example, I take my foot off completely at exactly 3000rpm and step on the clutch, it then revs to about 3300rpm (my foot is already off the accelerator). Is this also a sign of a slipping clutch?

Thanks for your time, and btw I don't mean to hi-jack the thread :D

Welcome to the club. You do know there is a club in Aussie/NZ too? Anyway this sounds like what could be a slipping clutch. The last owner must have been riding the clutch a lot, since there was only 30K on the clock. most clutches last over 100K once treated right

LOL, yeah I do know, however, it seems more active here in the UK forums.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, 30,000km isn't high km especially for a clutch, my dad's Ford Transit is hitting 130,000km and still doesn't have the slightest hint clutch or gearbox issues.

Thanks for the confirmation!
