Hi every1 jus need some advice / confirmation regards wats changed or inspected only in this service. I thought this was considered the Full / major service and i knw its minor but the air filter wasnt changed, nw is this normaly done in this service. i had the service done at the dealers and for some reason makes me wonder could there be anythin else not done. I had a problem with the car startin it didnt always fire up, after reading previous posts on here the change of spark plugs seemed the ansa. however i have still had this problem. They were quick 2 point out in the report areas that need attention on the car. Many Thanks For Your Help.

Nils replied to japthree's topic in Motoring Legal Issues
Nothing wrong there. i do it better 2 display a valid one early -
I finally got the kit installed, very pleased with the amateur effort. 1 Nokia car kit 2 Nokia control box 3 I made an extra hole in the casing that holds the heated seat switches for the wiring from the cradle 4 I padded the control box 2 avoid any viabration, purchased it from a crafts shop 5 How the casing looks with the wiring from the cradle 6 After deciding 2 fit the box on the side of the inner console for extra support ive used velcro 7 Back plate of the cradle cliped 2 the plastic 8 After installing the box in it place stuck 2 the side with the velcro and paddin 2 help avoid the viabration 9 The speaker is mounted under the glovebox on the side of the heated foot vents 10 Answer button ive placed there purely for it 2 be a little discreet 11 Mic is on the side window pillar 12 Everythin in place and the completed little project

Hi Shorty the blue and red in the pic r connected and i have left them as they are and installed the kit, pics will b up asap. so far everythin works fine, i took the 12v feed from the ingnition wire via stereo loom 2 avoid constant feed from the 12v live.

Very sorry 2 hear abt this, can it b jealously. U dnt need it especially this time of the year. Have u considered a hidden cctv aiming at ur car, may prove 2 b a gud investment. Catch the buggars and avoid u sellin ur car.

plug and play does seen the easiets, i was thkin abt placing the main nokia unit under the centre console and due 2 the lack in lenght of the power cable jus get the power frm behind the stereo, i did install a sat nav like other members and source the power for the housing frm the stereo leads, i may simply split the blue wire frm the red and do the same 4 this.

sorry if it helps its not a bluetooth kit its the earlier one where the phone sits in the cradle and chages at the same time.

Hi Parthiban thanks 4 the reply i haven't got any additional leads, but 2 be honest the kit is fully complete and wasnt really planning on using the mute facility 2 work through the car speakers. the kit has its own sperate speaker which i was goin 2 use. I simply jus want power 2 the unit. my nokia connector block seems slightly different 2 urs, as stated the red and blue wire are connected 2gether. only leaving the red and black and yellow after the fuse

Hi ppl, sorry a similar post was done quite some time ago so i do apologise but a little lost/confused, im abt 2 install a car kit. simple question the power lead has 4 wires red, black, blue and yellow comimg from the main unit. now the red and blue have been wired 2gether. now only leaving 3, im assuming the yellow is 4 mute, now i thought for power u always had three wires where im now only left with 2 the red and black. is this all i need, to which wires behind the stereo do i need 2 connect these 2? hope u understand this many thanks

Hi i thk if sum1 does correct me it only works wen ur lights are on full, it doesnt work with only the side lights on.

Cheers guys, went down 2 wim after chattin 2 Tony, once on the ramp indications my front disks and pads were not suitable/adapting to the car, they have now changed it all, calipers were fine, however rear disks do need changing. But still get viabrations in steering wheel around 50-60mph, fine when driving 70 or over. Think it may need balancing

Nils replied to sol12's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
Hi guys, from wat i was told the potenzas without the rim protectors are the nz batch code and those with the protectors are the cz batch. Difference besides the rim protector is the compound/ material used in the manufacture of the tyre. -
cheers for the helpadvice will do 2moro and c wat happens
-
Cheers will do and check it out, originally with the steering wheel shaking left and right i thought could need tracking. Just a quick one when i jack the car up wat am i looking 4? how free the wheel rotates or for noise, sorry im awful at mechanical things, normally jus pay a mechanic/garage keep my hands clean, lol.
-
well it all started since i had my rear pads changed and at the same time they tried 2 tighten my hand brake, which seems the same if not slightly more loose. after this went on the m'way and the car was makin a loud viabratin noise had 2 slow down happened at speed, went back 2 the garage and they said the wheels needed balancing, but its all strange how it started after the pad change.
-
Evening All, can anyone help pls, wen drivin on the m'way after 70mph the car seem 2 have a shaky/ viabrating feel, i can feel it in the accelerator pedal, and even the passenger seat is viabrating. Wen i let go of the steering wheel its shakes left and right, ive had all wheels balance still the same, any idea guys? thanks
-
ive checked for stones non visible. the noise seems like rubin as the wheel turns thk it may b the disks on the pads as it increases more under breakin. Any1 with any ideas pls.
-
will check, been told my front bushes need changin as well though it may have damaged sumthin else
-
