I had the exact same creaking on my IS.

Check your lower swivel ball joints ASP.

Mine had so much lift in them that my mate who owned a garage that checked the noise out wouldn't let me drive it until they were replaced.

You mention that a diagnostic test shows a misfire across all cylinders!!

Is that diagnosis from the Fault code readout or another form of diagnostic test.

The fault code is the one to go by.

Thank you very much for your answers and welcoming me to the Club!

I'm glad I could surprise you with my questions, but I got more!

What's "Shift Lock" on the gear changer block for?It sounds sort of obvious that it locks the gear to the current one, but it didn't lock in, so I'm in doubt.What is it for?

The shift lock button when depressed and held down allows the gear lever to be moved so the car can be towed or winched onto a breakdown truck if the unthinkable should ever happen.

Try moving your gear lever out of park without the ignition on, you should NOT be able to move it!!

Then hold the button down and try.

Regards and welcome

What are the actual codes found as that is the easy way to see whats going on as the car will tell you whats wrong with it

As the above post says. You need to get the fault code.

No good guessing what is wrong, many many things can put the EML on.

Mine fold on lock and open on start so get used more than some maybe, but they were absolutely fine through the last winter when they were covered in snow for ages :)

Good evening Parthiban

Did you do the mod on your mirrors to fold in on lock etc, or was it already done when you got the car.

I can only assume that the cables for the switch have been re-routed to the ignition switch.

If you search the forum theres a guide to creating your own folding mirrors circuit.

you need a timer circuit and some wiring, its fairly simple

Thanks Stav.

I will search and see if I can come across it

Thanks guys will have a butchers

Hi guys

Could anyone tell me the best place to get hold of the lift lid and tray that sits where the sat nav goes on the IS200

Cant seem to track one down anywhere

Regards

Glad it has all worked out for you mate

And a welcome from me too

Appreciate the chat Ta.

Nice thought but would cost me a fortune running it to London on a daily basis and judging by the way some of the muppets drive, it certainly wouldn't stay in good condition long

Good question. How do you replace an IS ? But already have a Mondeo I use to drive to London daily so will just get a little runaround for the missus to use for work.

Thanks for replying

Have no idea if thats right or not

Gonna take an average and then possibly sell

Could somebody give me some idea how much my IS200 is worth.

It is a 2000(W) SE with 110k on the clock.

It is of course in lovely condition and the reason I may be selling it is because it does not get used enough by myself or my wife and seems a shame it being sat around not doing much
