Hi my is200 is fourteen years old and still looks good as you say for what there worth just look after it and keep it

The switch is at the front of air box just make sure its pushed right in . As Colin said check that there are no air locks

Check the switch in the air filter body make sure it is seated properly that's what mine was after cambelt change

Sorry that should be seven years ago

My car has been like that since I bought it Severn years ago

Mine is a 2007 model but pre face lift but I agree I still like the look of the is200 best that's one of the reasons I kept the old girl. Im not a big fan of the latest model either but the ally body car has corrosion issues .

Asharb 123 you are right poor quality materials the xj are made from aluminium the whole body and a lot of it's parts. Don't like the look of the xf . Yes noby76 your right the performance is fantastic try running one of these if you have a heavy right foot makes the IS200 look fugal lol

Rear ISO seat covers ,brake pipes, bonnet switch other little jobs the only thing that's I've needed to replace on my is 200 was a shock absorber and that only had a mist of oil on It could have wiped it off for the mot . Don't get me wrong the jags a great car has all the toys but the build quality is not up to the is 200

Hi here's a quick update had the jag about four months now and it has cost me more in parts than my is200 in Seven years that's build quality for you and I'm not talking about normal service items just repairs

What does the temp gauge read when driving

Hi if you let the car just run and the fan kicks in does the heater get hotter . Also when you turn the fan on does the heater loose the heat after a little while

Mine come off and I just used some silicone mastic

If it snows leave it on the drive why risk a accident for a couple of days of snow it may not be you but someone else who can't drive or has never driven in the snow

Nice one hopefully this will help people thinking about doing this job a little help like that goes a long way

Hi short fuse maybe do a little write up to help members do the job sometimes it's just that little bit of guidence you need to do the job

Apparently you can take the heater matrix out by removing the clutch pedal someone on here as done it about a two hour job

Well done I was lead to believe it was a dash out job

Just been out in mine after driving my xjr loved it it's just so much more nimble around town

Hi if you have power Check the earth on the mirror system

Hi just a update I have been in contact with someone else on this forum who has a jag R version and he has also said how he still loves his IS .

Even though the price when new was worlds apart that's why I will keep my IS don't get me wrong the jag is a fantastic car but my IS (which I've had for seven year now ) is just like a old friend

Hi thanks for reply I started a thread a little while back about comparing the IS to other cars and I have found that the IS can hold its own against much more expensive and newer cars .

The power of the R jags is very nice but when you take the overall package the Lexus IS 200/300 is surprisingly close in my opinion and like you the IS is staying as my wife absolutely loves it and if she's happy everyone is happy.

Hi how are you doing with the jag

Hi don't know why it starts when the temp is above 12 c it could be that seal or part contracts when cold to allow air in also does the is220 have pre heat plugs . You say that the engine won't turn over after the third attempt this sounds like a bad Battery

Hi sounds like your getting air in the system

Yes that's quite a run out did you check after you fitted the new hub
