hey guys, just been checking a few pics of some of the great cars on the site, and noticed that most of the cars shown have different colour calipers like red and black, can you just use basic paint, or do you need a particluar type. thanks

hey guys, just found out today that I need to get my drivers side brake calibre replaced, quote given by toyota with labour is just over 440, I keep hearing from different people that I could get a repair kit or even look for a second hand part. would would you guys do in my position. is the price given above worth paying to get this problem resolved? any help would be appreciated

hi guys, recently purchased a 2001 is200, and im looking to install a sat nav system, I wanted to know if its possible to get a system where it can also play dvds, and is it possible that anyone knows what kind is available, I am looking to install the system where I have that lovely space to the left of the steering wheel above the air conditioning. I dont really want to install anything where the cd/tape unit is because I really love the lexus 6 cd changer design. any help or advice would be much appreciated thanks

so guys as a new driver to a 51 reg is200, ive just been using regular unleaded in the car, but all this talk of vpower fuel and super is beginning to worry me. I have an automatic so it drinks enough as it is, but If I begin to use vpower or the upgraded version to good old regular, will I see better milage performance, or is the only thing im going to notice is that my bank balance goes down quicker due to the high price of the specialist fuel. thanks

thanks for the reply, I just figured that going for the cheaper option, ended up with the car coming back with more faults than it had before it was taken in to be serviced. At this point to get the problems rectified is it worth taking the car to lexus themselves or just your local garage? Ill be honest the car is my pride and joy and sure it costs me an arm and a leg to run but I would never part with it thats why it kills me that I have this problem.

hey guys, recently purchased an is200 2001 automatic last november. Now it needed to be serviced asap after getting a high quote from lexus themselves i decided to go for the cheaper option and had it serviced at my local toyota dealership. With deep regret I should never have done this and I apologise, after coming back from a 6 month trip I took the car out for the first time since it was serviced I have noticed that when im driving sometimes at a constant speed of 50-80mph, the steering whel begins to shake excessively and then further down the line so does the transmission, after say 5-6 minutes of this a noise which sound similar to flapping appears from under the bonnet. This then fades away and normality resumes. Last week I took the car down tothe local town tyres to get the wheels balanced but the problem is still happening, also after a short drive last night i stopped the car and checked the brakes, the brakes on the drivers side were scorching hot and the others remained fine. I would very much appreciate any answers or responses that could help rectify the problem. thanks very much
