  4. I ban lexus2D for being in agony and not explaining why she is??
  5. Would a lexus one not work? I'm sorry fella but i can only think of ebay
  6. The reliability of the IS200 is brilliant. Obviously some people have more problems than others but if it is well looked after then the majority are trouble free. Common problems - Inside tyre wear on the front tyres - easily fixable for around £100 Water pump leak - fixed for around £200 i believe Sticky calipers - can be fixed but a new one is between £150 - £300 Headunits before 2001 facelift (botttom loading CD) have error 3 which makes them uselss for CD's - can be fixed but is expensive and most people go for an aftermarket system. Bodywork chips fairly easily - cosmetic and can be resprayed Corrosion on wheels - again cosmetic and can be refurbed for between £40 - £70 a wheel That is all i can think of, there may be a couple more but as you can see nothing is major and highly expensive. I have had my IS just over a year and so far i have needed the geometry on the wheels doing and new pads and discs, it has gone through 2 MOT's without fault and runs very smooth. I would recommend the IS to anyone BUT dont buy one if you want fuel economy and i would also say try and buy one that was registered before March 2001 to avoid the new tax legislation. pre March 2001 = £210 a year post March 2001 = £415 (as of 2009) £430 (as of 2010) If anything above is incorrect i'm sure someone will be able to point it out, if theres anything else i can help with just post up a question.

  19. I inderstand the words of wisdom oldcro but i am not going just to get out of the UK, i have always thought about working abroad for a few years and as wylie said i would like to experience something different while i still can and who knows may find a Mrs while i'm here!! adrian71 - New Zealand is somewhere i really really like but that is my retirement plan :winky:
  20. I ban stav for questioning einsteins knowledge as quite clearly he is not santa and cant tell naughty from good!
  21. I know that we are given freedom to a certain extent in this country but it will also be a huge experience to live somewhere different and i may come back someday. I am just getting more and more fustrated in the UK for working my arse off and seeing everything i work for taken for granted by others who do not want to work.
