hi,

i spoke to a lexus sales person and decided the best way to fund the car is finance. I was told to pay half the deposit now and the remaining half the deposit when i pick up the vehicle.

Is there anything to look out for when i go to pick it up. What forms do i fill in and what do i look out for on the forms?

Can i get my depoit back if i decide not to go with the quotation or if they my credit rating not good enough? Buying a new car is really a nervous experience and like to know what to look out for anything dodgy.

Thanks,

you need to take a photo mate so people can see the screws but i have not seen a kit where you need to install screws on the face of the kit. On the undersides and on the ends are where the screws normally are.

the TRD kit is also plastic so u have a copy - hope it fits well????

the reason screws were put on the face of the kit so it gives more pressure tostay in that position with the glue. now the glue has dryed i can take the screws off.

once i take the scres off there will be obvious be holes in the body kit.

what do i do to get rid of these holes?

there a couple of screws along the face of the side skirts and the same for the back lip.

Why didn't you leave the mounting screws in? Assuming you mean the ones either going up through the skirts or attaching the skirts / bumpers to either side of the wheel arch?

the glue has dryed now and now i can take the screws off. i will only leave the screws on the arch.

when i take the screws off i just want to know what i use to fill the holes that the scres have left? what is the process of doing this?

For those who fitted on body kits themselves, after screwing the body kit onto the car and waited for the glu to dry,

after removing the screws what do you put in the holes that the screws left and how you repaint over it? what is the process?

what bodykit have you put on ?

the trd body kit for is200. its made out of fibreglass.

For the valet? I just use a hoover, dashboard polish, duster and a bit of leather cleaner.

I find it all seems to do the trick.

i mean for the scratches?

hi,

I have a few scratches on the dashboard as well as dozen of scratches on the fibre glass body kit.

Do valet services offer to fix these? Or do I have to go to a bodyshop?

I live in B'ham, is there any company that valet and offer to fix hese scratches as well before valet?

cheers,

I know chipsaway do interior and exterior.

do they have a website and where are they based in birmingham? do they valet as well?

cheers,

ChipsAway

Don't think they valet though.

Yeah the gear knob on the IS just unscrews off (try it yourself :winky: )

If the lock works by simply clamping under the knob, then yes I can't see how that would work.....

even the automatic ones?

Erm.....

If you want to remove the gear shifter knob just grab hold and turn anticlockwise and it will come off!!

And for your next question - here's an example:

:D

i bought a autolok gear lock. if the thieves can remove the gear stick head then they can easily lift up the lock. please advise.

is the automatic gearstick on a is200 removable?

I think you are going to have to elaborate on your posts .............. ??

What do you mean by removable ?

As in, change the gear stick head ?

Convert the Auto into a manual ??

hi,

what happens if you park your car for long hours without the gear in P (Automatic transmission Parking) and leave it in Drive or gears below Drive?

will it do any harm to the car?

cheers,

so from the repliew i got:

rotor arm

fuse.

which is the easiest?

On average a day ( if you give them the keys :) .

i gave my car in for a full service and mot at 10 in the morning and got it back at 3pm. is this strange?

How long does it averagely take for average garage to do a full service on a car?

thanks

check your lights, its also a bulb fail indicator

regards new switch, i think i have a few

all bulbs are ok,

pm your price and details

cheers,

while im driving with handbrake down (obvious), the handbrake indicator is still on the dashboard.

nothing wrong with the brake system as the garage confirmed.

garage played around handbrake light switch and told me its loose or a faulty switch. because when they touch the switch the indicator on dashboard is removed. (probably handrake is not touching the switch properly when i put the handbrake down)

the handbrake light switch is visible and below the handbrake.

where and how much is a new handbrake light switch for a is200 se?

thanks.

anyone?

take out the fuse? how?

I assume you have changed a fuse before, how did you do that?

i dont know thats why im asking the same question :duh:

i did a 60k full service today for a lexus is200 se.

according to the lexus documentation it says at 60k i must check valve clearance and drive belts.

the garage that did the full service does not cover checking valve clearance and drive belts.

are valve clearance and drive belts inspections are optional cost extra?

how do i inspect it?

take out the fuse? how?

lol.

the area i live in is a banged up area and i heard people hotwiring mercs, audis, lexus etc.

i dont want to spend £20 on a steering lock or any security products.

i just want to know how to make it stop starting once the thieves get in while im on holiday.
