  1. Hi guys I have an 02 Lexus IS200, lovely car. Friday morning on the way into work in morning commute after 4-5 miles when at idle the car started to vibrate slightly (above the normal idle) and the engine management light started to flash, I pulled over and turned the car off and opened bonnet to see if I could spot anything, nothing unusual noted so started and drove to work place about 1/2 mile away. On return journey home, car started normal, drove back after 5-6 miles again slight vibration and engine management light came on. Had it shown to local mechanic who ran a diagnostic check on it and showed up as misfire in 2 cylinders.... now the bit that nags me is he said it is not a major problem as oil levels and everything else was normal??? After that I have drove it 5-6 miles and everything is fine??? Although I have noticed white smoke occasionally and coolant level drops slightly when I top up every other weekend? - no white milky stuff though under oil cap filler etc I am thinking of getting second opinion from a different mechanic? Any advice from you guys will be much appreciated?
  2. Hi guys, will these T10 bulbs be okay for the dash lights... is it a straight swap? help much appreciated. T10 ebay light bulbs
  3. thanks guys for your advice, much appreciated. the brick didnt pass through the window and think most of the glass just shattered, very few bits actually went into the car, its a 2002 model, just had the insurance guy out from autoglass to replace it with a new one, apparently he was saying the back screen costs £600-700 for an original, is that correct or was he hyping the price up? been talking to some of the locals quite a few cars got done in randomnly, more prestige models, as we are only a few miles from the city stadium fingers have been pointing at rangers fans!
  4. Hi, during the night my back screen was bricked through on my IS200 by some idiots... I was a bit concerned as my cousinn who heard the screen crack/shatter didnt hear the alarm go off? Also when I have on the rare occasion tried to open the doors with the key fob (original) the alarm has gone off? Is this normal? Just concerned that is something wrong with the alarm if it doesnt go off when a brick lands on your back screen? Any advice would be most helpful.
  5. Hi guys, can anyone recommend a garage/place to get a cambelt change and MOT done in the Manchester area, im just outside in the Tameside area so if any recommendations in Tameside/Oldham/Manchester would be great. Thanks
  6. Hi, does anyone know of any places/websites that do the dunlop sp9000 tyres for a decent price? Thanks.
  7. its okay managed to find it, nephew had hid it away somewhere! lesson learnt - need to get spare cut asap, bobski it was the 3 button fob - beleive that is the master key!
  8. I have misplaced my lexus fob/key? In worst case scenario where cant find it would Lexus(stockport/manchester) issue a new one on produce of logbook etc. or is it longwinded process!
  9. i have recently bought a 02plate is200 se, the last service it had was at 47k, now it is approaching the 60k service, i rang lexus stockport and the guy quoted me a service cost of approx $600, that is a bit steep for me at the moment .. the previous services are a mixture of lexus and non-lexus services, as i am not intending to sell the car in the near future(4-5 years) i am thinking of getting the service done thru nationwide aa approved garage, it is a lot cheaper and comes with aa assurance... any recommendations on this?? if done thru independent garage would parts be sourced from lexus(so i can keep receipts for future reference)???
  10. Hi im a new user and have recently acquired a 02plate Lexus Is200 SE, how I got it is a long story but a few questions that hopefully some of you experts can answer >> 1. I have only one key/alarmfob thing, how much would it cost to get a spare key/alarm fob. 2. On a couple of the alloys there are signs of rustiness where the silver layer has come off, is this fixable? how much would a new set cost from lexus? 3. The last service it had was 13k miles ago, how much would a service cost via Lexus? 4. A few small scratches on it, whats the best way of getting rid of them? Regards
