  1. Thanks for responses so far. Here is a pic of damage What benefit will gold membership give me? I don't want to spend any money unless there is a real benefit for me in doign so. I have been told by 2 garages that it isnt worth repairing. Thanks
  2. Hello everyone, I have sadly crashed my IS 200 auto 99/2000. It had only done 66,000. I've hit the front near side (i think that the passangers side) and doen quite a bit of damage. The rest of the car is in very good condition. I've been told its not worth repairing, but I thought I'd come to this forum first as its been very helpful in the past. I'm wondering if anyone know anywhere that may be interested for breaking or if anyone know where I might be able to get the parts for cheap. If there is no answer then it will be going to the scrappers, which seems a terrible waste for what was my favourite car. I can send pics or post pics if that helps. Many thanks James
  3. Thanks for all the help guys. In response to your questions there is a siren in the boot which seems to be the problem. I have been down to Lexus today and they disconnected the siren. There was continual beeping at times and the siren would also sound when it felt like it. It's nothing to do with reversing as I don’t have any parking sensors. Lexus have quoted me 391 for a replacement siren which is allot of money considering that I can get a brand new alarm system fitted for about 290. I will only get a year's worth of warranty from Lexus just for the siren, where as the complete alarm system has warranty for 3 years. This means that if anything further goes wrong with my Lexus alarm system (not including the siren) then I'm not covered. In my opinion Lexus have overpriced this as you loose out on cost and cover just for one component in the system Anyone have any ideas how I could make this point to Lexus GB and if there is any point in telling them? Thanks Digger
  4. I've been reading the forums and found lots of useful information, but can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I have a Lexus is200 on a T plate. The alarm in the boot keeps going off and I get the beeping noises from the boot also (even when driving). The main alarm doesn’t sound just the one in the boot. The problem is that I can’t turn off the alarm in the boot for love nor money. The only way to stop it is to disconnect the battery. Can anyone cast any light on this? I was up at 2am last night disconnecting the battery. There must be a cheaper option than having to pay £400 for Lexus to fit a new ECU when it’s probably only the backup batteries (the dealer says that it’s all one unit!) . I've tried searching the web high and low to see what these batteries are. I'm not sure where the unit is located in the boot either and whether it’s easy to get at. Any help would be great. Thanks Digger
  5. Nice post. I'm currelty looking to do something with mine as they are trashed. I've been quoted £70 per whell and £30 per wheel. I'm guessing that you'll get a better quality refurb the more money you spend. Looks like spit and polish do the job properly. I've asked them for a quote, so we shall see. Seems to be plenty of old whels on ebay though. It may be worth gettign a second hand set and doing them up, but it's all the time an effort (delivery charges) that you have to go through. Going to try my lexus dealer just encase. hmmm difficult one. Nice to know some of us are in the same boat :)
