Unless you really know what your doing i'd leave it to the pro's
When it goes wriong it really goes wrong and it's quite difficult to rectify again
Good Luck
I a arrived just before 12.00 shame i mist your car looks a nice spec I did see the blue GS300 and just as i was leaving again around 2.00pm there was a very dirty Platinum ice is200 pulling in female driver anyone here?
Sorry Tony no geo this time but THANKS for taking care of the brakes today done a great job at a good price and I even got a lift into town so I could take the misses shopping well woth the trip over there

Its called wiper heated not actually a heated screen
Just warms the wiper blades up to stop them sticking to your screen if you look round the outer edge of the glass you will see this
Make sure autoglass know this I had mine done a few weeks back and they brought the screen without the heater system and I had to wait a further week
Thanks for the info guys
Me being the sort of letter of the law kinda guy I contacted my insurence company the one with all the chickens cluck cluck and explained I wanted to change from the OEM discs and pads
Well heres the answer........ no no no not even for an extra premium.
Well bang goes that idea
You may have slighlty les power in the lex than the DC5 (very nice by the way) But................ Join lex and you feel like your actually driving a car rather than that bone shaker your currently bankrupt for
My view for what its worth with the IS200/300/Sc you get the best of both worlds a fairly quick middle of the road car with all the Family comforts added
Depends what your after i suppose
Good luck and welcome :winky:
:duh: :duh: :duh: :duh: of all the things doesen't seem like much to nick
But realisticly i suppose one of those trays probably costs a small fortune from Lexus
Mintex Xtreme I pressume? seems to be the most favourable option
I fitted DBA discs on my IS200 Sport with Mintex pads...great combo, really stop well without too much dusting. Had no problems with them at all.
I've got my heart set on the Tdi DBA 400series discs
Its just what pads to put with them.....What I'm not sure about Is I was looking at the greenstuff premium pads but have seen conflicting posts on the greenstuff pads was just wondering what your thoughts were and any reccomendations or alternatives
Also would OEM pads be any good with theese discs or would it just be a waste of time?
Cheers

To elaberate on the topic
1. I had a minor bump in a car park (no Fault on my part)
2. the guy asked me to get a qoute which I did £375 and send him the estimate he would pay without involving insurences
3. Guy did not expect a bill of £375 so we end up going through insurence companies
4.BMW insurence people call me admitting full responsibilty for the accident and will cover all costs therefore I would not need to involve my own insurence
Question is Do I or don't I need to tell them?
Thanks
Gordon
I've had the windscreen replaced a few days ago due to a crack and I now have more creeks and rattles than before Coming fom front door(s) area
Has anyone experienced this before?
i'm wondering if the screen has been fitted correctly? or it's just weeken'd the structure slightly or maybe it just takes time to settle in.
Any thoughts welcome
Gordon
Have you Cosidered the RX300/400H
Very spacious Very quick by 4x4 standards and as its a lexus there always well spec'd
Although I think only a "nearly new" would fall into your budget range.
Thats my 2ps worth anyway happy hunting
Welcome to the LOC
Thanks for the info Guys
Just had a visit from autoglass and it would appear that it's not a heated screen as such but called a heated wiper system wich prevents the wipers from sticking to the screen.
Autoglass bought one without the Heated system so I now have to wait a further week with a 30cm crack in front of me
When I claimed on my insurence for this I was ask buy the nice Girl if i had a heated screen I said "I thought so as it hade the metalic lines round the outside"
She replied "in my ten years experience if you don't have the option to switch the front screen heating on/off then you don't have it"
Well I suppose she was sort of right i would have thought that just from the reg number a company like autoglass should have all the correct part details on there system
Never Mind
35psi is correct..... the manual suggests 32 but Dr Bones will tell you 35 and I have to agree with him
Iam sure your REAR tyre pressures are alittle too high
