HK1471

Hi All I want to service my IS200 Lexus sport (Y Reg) and wandering if anyone knows any decent garages in the North London area ( finchley/Barnet/Southgate) that would be able to do a good service at a resonable price Thanks for the Help HK

Hi all, recently moved to north London (barnet) was wandering if anyone can recommend a decent mechanic/garage around the area so i can get some work done on my car Thanks

Hi guys.. well i can see the original thread is still going.. well i figured out that my problem was the breaks. failed MOT on break binding. anyway had the breaks changed and passed the MOT and the car was fine for about month and a half 2 months and just recently it has started doing the same problem... shakes really bad at about 50 - 60 mph. I have read a a few other posts about this and seems like the calipers need changing. just wandering how much they normally are and whats the best place to get them from? Car: Is 200 sport Y plate Thanks Hits

to be honest you can stay anywhere in central london and most places are very close via tube. In turms of pubs bars etc not too sure where the best is but if u stay in central then there will be pubs bars everywhere. any budget on the hotel ... even the basic ones can be a rip off in central

Hi all, mine was the brakes as well. failed MOT with Break binding. just had new pads put in and its been fine for the past month or so.. no problems so fingers crossed

spoke to soon still shakes

Right quick update... drove it today on a 15-20 mile trip into leicester and it was shaking really bad so i just took it to the first garage and asked them to re balance all the wheels again. They told me that the back ones were off balance, got that done and drove it back without any problems. seems to drive better at the lower speeds and around 45-55-60 it was fine. Gonna keep driving it later today to see if it happens. one thing i have noticed is that when i break my steering does vibrate but i know i need to get net pads maybe new discs. also im not sure if anyone else has it but my gear stick shakes a fair bit at high revs and also when breaking? need to get it services in the next week or so , hopefully with the breaks done and a service all these little niggly bits be sorted out.. Thanks for all the help guys

Yea i did hit a pot hole so it maybe the alloy has buckled. would this be picked up on a MOT? failable?

Most ppl seem to think it might be the tyres out of shape.. the reason i dont think its the tracking and balaencing is that iv had the tracking set by tony from wim and it was fine for about 2 - 3 months and i only took it back to him for a recheck after the problem was occuring and the tracking was the same as he had set it. i also had all 4 wheels re balanced since the problem started occuring. i dont understand why it only happens between them speeds tho.. if im on the motorwa at 70 its fine with no problems. i have read on these forums that somtimes the breaks get warped could that be possible? Thanks for the reply's

I have had the tracking done by tony at WIM and also had all 4 wheels re balanced. What else could it be?

Hi Guys, got a little problem with my car been happening the last month or so. when i am driving around 50-60 my car shakes really badly. the steering shakes really bad and so does the car. if i go above 60 it is fine and there is no problem same if i am going below 45-50 Iv had it set by tony at WIM and also had it rechecked after this started happening but the set up was fine and nothing had changed. Iv had all the wheels re balanced. and the problem still happens. Some people iv spoke to have said that it could be becuase my discs have bent/warped? or maybe the bushes? I know that i need to change my front discs and pads could this be the reason? dunno if this has happened to anyone before? any help would be good Thanks Hits

Hi guys, been tryin to get hold of tony from WIM but cannot find any contact details. on his website it has the number for Kiplings but i know he use to have another number for himself. anyone know what it is? dunno if you guys can help but what has happened is the steering wheel shakes/vibrates really back between 45-55 but its ok above 60 and also vibrates really bad when coming down from a high speed and going through 45-55. Thanks guys

not sure this is possible. the only way it can be done is if you post the document/speadsheet back in the public folder your better off asking the IT guys to put it on a network share and then share the workbook through excel

i know that episode 2 came out last night in america but where can you get ep 3 from?
