So I'm going to see if I can get my car through another MOT (Even though it had a bash erlier in the year. The ABS and TRC light is on so I replaced those 2 and the fault is still there. after finding a OBD2 that would read the car its reporting a rear speed sensor (Right/Offside ) failure.... I have yet to take the wheel off and check but.... Anyone know where i might get one?
-
Thanks for replies all. Dinho.....that's pretty much where I'm at. The spare is a little squashed so needs a little work there. I've been told I need to have another MOT done to its roadworthy.

Well after owning my Lex for close to 16 yrs someone decided not to stop behind me.😣 So it's a cat N write off.....The question I have to ask myself is do I keep her and get it fixed? (Rear bumper and a little rear panel work required). If anyone has any experience of this please let me know. I have no idea what I'd replace it with TBH...

Hmmm......tough choice :) Although parts quality may be a question to ask. Cheers for the reply.

What was the cost of a new clutch?

Hmmm Damn I feel Old. nice to see some old names still around. I dont come on the site much....as you can see. The kids keep me busy. Still have my IS and still think its a great car to drive, even compared to a lot of new cars. I dont get to clean it as often as I'd like (used to do it weekly) And I dont know what other forum the others are talking of???

Who Has The Most Mileage From A Set Of Tyres?
Bobski replied to Sterling's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
Michelin are a good allrounder and do last well. My last set lasted 30k and only had to change them as they started to de-laminate through age. They say that they do still offer rim protection, but by the make up of the tyre rather than a visible rim strip. I just put a set Dunlop SportMax TT on my Lex and these have great rim protection and grip well. But I have to say that for grip you cant go wrong with Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta, great value and fantastic grip...but i have no idea how long they will last. Try having a look at www.tyrereviews.co.uk. -

will try to check and see 1. If i still have one and 2. what (if any) damage it has. Wont be able to check for a few days though...(and might have to do a little digging)....are you in a hurry? Would you be able to do a pickup from M3 J3-4 or would you look on getting it to you another way?
