  1. Thank you for the info and the link glad you had a satisfactory conclusion to your problem. This is the sort of info that makes boards worth while. Thanks again. I will add the ML experience in my 430Sc is the most impressive I have ever had in any car. I have had some very good cars with top sound systems. Its well worth keeping it original as I doubt anything else will measure up.

  3. Thanks for all the input. I've missed it as a bargain, as the price has gone up by £200, but I may still take a look and test drive, at least to see if all the fuss about it is true. I've never not liked my 200. I know it's not a performance car, and never bought it as one. I'm also not looking for a performance car either; as I've said many times before, the extra bhp the 300 has is simply a byproduct to me - if I wanted a fast car I'd go buy a fast car. One thing I've learned from having the 200, is I'm much more about smoothness, quiet, relaxing drives; no drama, and comfort. What's nice about the IS is that you can cruise everywhere with no drama, but if you do feel a bit spritely on the way home through the country lanes, the suspension and handling feels just as much at home being chucked into bends at higher speeds than you should be doing, than most other cars I've owned (with the exception of S1 Escort Turbo's - those things were built to be abused though bends!) And as much as I love the manual in my 200 Sport, I've come to realise I just want an auto. The 200 manual is a lovely, tight, precise feeling box, excellent gate and changer, and apart from the strange "thud" you get going from 1st to 2nd (still there in other gears, but most noticeably in 1st>2nd) it's by far one of, if not the nicest manuals I've had. However, I want to go ever lazier and get an auto, and I was never that impressed with the autobox in the 200's. So I might as well look at the 300. Will have a gander at it and see whats what. End result, if the car - regardless of the engine or gear box in it - isn't as nice as the one I have; ie, condition, appearance, and most importantly, the handling, then it's not worth me changing mine for it. If it is as nice, or even better, then it's worth considering. I'm not going to buy a car I don't think is as nice as mine *just because* it's got a bigger engine or an autobox. It needs to be the whole package or not at all

  4. The fog lamps are standard, but I think the chrome is a slightly darker shade than most on an LE. They're not the dark chrome ones you see on 04/05 models, nor are they the normal bright chrome. They're something in between. The rear lights are the same. They're noticeably darker than the ones on my neighbour's 51-plate SE. PetayV8, I felt exactly the same. I had the grille for a while but couldn't bring myself to fit on the car until I had sorted out an L badge for it. Anyone wishing to do the same, just follow this very good tutorial. http://my.is/forums/f221/diy-l-emblem-z-edition-330118/ Some basic tools and zipties are all that's required. The L badge needs to come from an '02-on facelift model - one with 3 rows of mesh. The badge isn't removable on the earlier ones.

  5. Just another question - how easy was it to get the Lexus badge on? Did you have to hack apart the original Altezza one to utilise the same clips? Only asking because Ive just seen this elsewhere... And ive been considering painting my altezza grille for a while (it came quite badly stonechipped) and think it would work best with the L logo instead!

  6. A VCF file is a common extension for V-Card (Electronic business card). If I ask you for a mutual friends phone number. You just go into your phone and send me the V-Card (which is essentially a VCF file) across via email, messaging or bluetooth and I will then have the said persons contact details in my phone. When trying to transfer contacts to the car we are using the same concept but doing it for all the contacts in the phone book so that you can replicate your phone book on the cars software. Unfortunately the Iphone does not have the facility to send V-Cards over bluetooth. You can however export contacts from an Iphone to a laptop using a data cable and then transfer them from the laptop to the car, granted your laptop has bluetooth functionality.
