ok.....

Whats the latest on these? :yack:

Yeah it unclips but only at the sat nav unit end. The other end goes deep behind the dash and I dont know where it ends hence i cant take it off and send it to cpc.co.uk. Please advise..... anyone.

Not that i can see. I would like to send it to them as im sure it will be easier but i dont know where the cable ends so how would i take it out apart from cutting it. If i cut it then the sat nav wont work at all which is worse than the current tilting situation.

Hello all. I have taken the screen out as instructed in the above links and tried to clean the cable but no joy - ie screen still only works when i keep pressing tilt. So i think i will invest in a new cable. But my problems is whats the cable called on cpc.co.uk and where does the cable end? Ie one end is in the sat nav unit , no probs but where does the other end go? IF im gonna replace it i need to know that right? Thanks

No, mine is Aztec Fire, you'll recognise me from all the fidgeting im doing with the sat nav and defunkt cd player. I have seen the green neon Lex your talking about though several times. B)

Hi, thanks for that. The sat nav issue is complex me thinks but the sterio should be fixed quickly if Lexus do FOC replacements but my car is now 5 years and 5 months old so i dont qulaify. If i had to pay them how much would it cost? Any ideas?

My factory fitted, dashboard mounted motorised sat nav screen isnt working. The guidance still works as i can still hear the voice prompts. The screen was playing up for a few weeks not working all the time unless i press the tilt button and then it would come back and go again. Also sometimes if i went over a pot hole or a large bump then the screen would go blank. Is it a loose connection somewhere? Where can i find and resolve these issue? Ironically the sterio has also packed in now within days of the sat nav. Again the sterio works but does not load CDs, it did give me the dreaded error 3 a few months back but when i turned it off and on again it fixed it self. Now though there is no way of loading a CD into the head unit of the sterio (CD's load at the bottom of the unit version) as when i press the CD mode button nothing happens. All other features of the sterio work fine and dandy. Any suggestions? I do not think the two issues are related in any way whatsoever. Thanks for your help in advance.

Whats the latest Mr Singh? :D

Result...... 10 days to go till delivery right Mr Singh? Also 2nd payment is winging its way to you right now as we speak. Cant wait.

Can someone clafiy please.... i have an AUTO with SAT NAV and the assosiated remote down just behind the gear lever.... will my arm rest fit and will i be able to change gear without lifting the armrest? Thanks

Yeah Halfords do them. I changed my brake light last week at Halfords. Look in the Halfords parts finder book under Lexus > IS200 and the code is soemthing like 382 or maybe it was 182. Anyway the bulb is 2.49 from Halfords.

I do around 300 miles per week through town going to and from East London to Heathrow. Sure i have an automatic but i drive like a gent (IMO) and definetly not like a boy racer but it still costs me around 55 pounds a week. Its the only thing i HATE about my IS200. Enough to make me consider getting rid of it.

Tick tock tick tock.... cant wait. Will send the second payment off to ya next week Mr Singh. Good things come those who wait.... but im a bit worried i wont be able to fit it myself though1

I had mine done by www.gtgrafix.com - their website is great. They claim to be based in Ireland (tax reasons i presume) but everything else points to them being Manchester based. Next day delivery and reasonable prices - not the best though - but i think their quality and design variations make up for this. Take a look if your after non standard/legal plates.

Whats "Jamer Rang"??

A point very eliquently made Galla 4! On the aspect of aggressive pricing for the forthcoming IS220... i very much doubt it. I bet the big franchises try and bum us for every pound they can! Thats business! :yack: Up to LOC members to try wring every penny we can back by advising and critising I suppose.

I saw one on the North Circular Road yesterday. I say I saw it but only for a second.... the guy who was driving it was doing in excess of id guess 90mph.... what i saw it looked awesome. And the way it took off from just past the Barking Gatso id say it is a stonker to drive too. One day I too will get one! One day! :)

Mr Morse are you serious or are you just kidding? None of my business as not my topic but just curious.

At the risk of sounding too fundamentalist.... Jazak'Allah (means thanks!) :-)

Update have ordered the brake pads from Brakes International as they were cheapest for standard replacement pads. Very nice webpage HOWEVER once ordered you will get an auto email asking you to confirm your delivery address. However that email comes back failed as not recognized. Im awaiting business hours so i can ring them and confirm. Not really an online ordering process then is it? We shall wait and see.

I need exactly the same repalcements as I_Love_MY_IS200. I dotn know much aboout garage ?etiquet? but can we not buy the parts from the above recommended places and just get the local garage to fit them. Or is that not the done thing?.... only ask as i could never fit the brakes my myself but still obviously wantd the cheapest price.... how long a job is it for a garage? 1 hour, 2 hours? for rear disc and pad replacement? Whats a reasonable labour only charge for such a job if i provided them the parts.

NO FAIR! 24yr Male, 6 years license, 2 Yrs NCD, 1 x SP30 - 3 points (11/2003), Civil Servant, 10000 miles Social/Commuting, Street Parked, East London, NO mods at all, ...... 981.75! for a 10 MONTH policy with admiral. That was the cheapest I could get tried all other companies and brokers. just for fun tried changing postcode form mine to my mates in Watford on Swiftcovers page and it was HALVED to 600 annual. Post Code lottery?.... I LOST!

dont feel stupid i just tried mine as i thought mine didnt work either as i watched near the headlight i had the button pressed for me by the mrs and guess what.... i got a face full of headlight washer! Neighbours must have laughed their heads off! Mrs had a seizure laughing. Thanks boys :duh:
