Thanks for all the replys guys i will do that.

The trouble is i dont want to drive the car as it feels very dangerous

About 3 months ago i changed my track rod arms/ends on both sides & then carried out a steering geometry. Since then i have had a problem with the car pulling left and right when driving along so much it has become dangerous to drive. I have had 3 steering geo's done and after a week of them being done it starts pulling left and right again.

Can anyone shed any light on this as the car has become an expensive ornament in my garage? :tsktsk:

This car is getting stranger by the minute. I have changed the relay and still the same. I am going to take it to a Lexus dealer but has anyone in the south east used a lexus dealer that has found the cue to this?

Yeah i was planning on changing the relay but Lexus want stupid money for it.

Has anyone got a spare one that i could purchase?

So has anyone found a definite problem for the lights staying on?

Hi ya guys me again, i have done as you said and i have had the car running for about 30 min the heater is hot and hasnt overheated. The only question i have is the pipe at the bottom of the rad is still cold! is this suppose to hot like the top one?

Thanks guy i will give it a go.

Hi

The trouble is i have no coolant in it and the nearest hill is quite a way from here. Can you bleed it with the heaters on, and on a flat surface?

Hi ya guys, i have just changed the radiator on my IS200. I now need to fill the coolant system & bleed can someone talk me through the process?

Hi ya Guys,

Just wondering if anyone has any IS200 parts in Granite Sky? My car is looking a bit tatty so looking to get some bits for it.

PM me if you do

Thanks

Hi ya everyone,

Just wondered if anyone had a Radiator that they wanted to get rid of. Mine has sprung a leak and the car is off the road so need to get it sorted as soon as possible.

Well i have a problem with the throttle, that when change gear the revs stick at about 3500 RPM. I have cleaned it out and while cleaning it noticed that when i turn the valve to open the throttle the spring on the inner section starts rattling around. I dont know what else it could be.

I am looking for the complete throttle body and have spoken to Lexus and they are looking for a stupid amount of money.

Can anyone help?

Hi

I am having a problem with my IS200 that when i take my foot off the clutch there is a strange noise coming from the gearbox. If i put my foot on the clutch it stops!!

Can anyone tell me what this is and what i will need to stop this from happening?

I took mine to Lexus Reading and one of the workshop staff had seen the problem before - he just had to clean the contacts on one of the plugs connecting to the fuse box in the driver's side foot well - I think it was the middle one (of five). Touch wood the problem has gone away!

If you can turn the lights on and off when the ignition is on, it means the relay is working fine and doesn't need replacing.

Hi everyone

I have been having the same problem, i recently had a new windscreen replaced by Autoglass once i had read the forum i took it back to Autoglass to get them to re-seal the windscreen. Since then i have still had the problem and after a lot of studying and messing about i think i have solved it. I took the drivers side kick panel out and took the plug out that runs the instrument panel (2nd up from bottom on the left). I noticed that the connector was green, i have sprayed some contact cleaner on the plug and the FLSH relay that sits behind the connector and it seems to have cured the problem.

I will let you know if it happens again. If any one needs any pics or wiring diagrams then PM me.

It was replaced about a month ago

Did anyone find the cause of the problem?

Hi everyone,

Right well i need some help!! I am having a problem with the headlamp relay on my IS200, it seems to be going mad. I left my car parked up last weekend and went back to it on monday and my Battery had gone flat, i jump started it and ever since the relay has been going mad and the light wont turn off unless i pull the relay out.

Has anyone got any ideas of what is causing this as i have changed the relay and it exactly the same????

should be fine on eibach springs mate.

Thanks mate. Do you know anywhere in the south east that i can get them fitted?

What offsets and widths are they?

If they're the Lexus 18's you've got nothing to worry about :)

I took them of my RX-8 they are 18x8 with an offset of 50.

Well i am thinking of going gor the Eibach springs which lower it by 30mm, do you think they will rub? What you think front and rear?

I have a set of 18"s on standard IS200 SE springs and want to know how low i can lower it by?

Depends if you want just springs or a set of coilovers?

Most garages will change them for about £100 fitting, have a look on TDI or Prolex-UK's websites.

Sorry all new to this and have no idea what to go for, have you got any idea what is best?
