Thanks for that. I am an HGV mechanic by trade, but because all the trucks are diesel I have not had this experience before. It needs an oil change soon, so I will perhaps consider using thinner oil.

Hello, I must start using this forum more! I have noticed that my IS200's engine sounds rough when its cold. When the engine warms up it's really quiet, but it just sounds noiser when its less than 5degrees outside. Is this anything I should worry about? Thanks, Sam.

Here are some more photo's:

Apologies for not being on here for a LONG time! I am still enjoying my car. In reply to the post regarding the price in the windscreen: I bought the car for £5995, with £500 knocked off for a p/x. There is no way I would have paid more than £6800 for it. I have only had 1 problem with it.... well not a problem, just that I lost the radiator cap! Got a new one from the local motor factors for £10. I have painted the callipers red, with white lexus decals. I would like to get the small dent repaired on the wing as well.

Hello again, Finally got round to taking a photo of my car. Not the best camera in the world mind you! And this is a photo of it in the dealers, before the better alloys!

Hi, thanks for the replies. My speedo is around 10mph out all the time. 30mph reads 40mph, 70mph reads 80mph etc. I would like to get the original head working as I like the way it is in the dash (blends in with everything around it) I don't have any modifications planned, as I like the car just the way it is! I will post some photo's soon. I am located near Stonehenge. Thanks, Sam. (p.s. I am insured with Tesco)

Hi, I have just purchased a 2001 'Y' IS200 S. Fantastic car and I really enjoy driving it. I p/x my 1989 Range Rover in so it was quite a change! I was surprised by the insurance as I am 19! Anyway, I would like some advice. The CD player will not eject the 1 disk the former owner left in there. I have since put in another disk and it still only shows 1 disk on the display, and again will not eject. How to these stereo's come out so I can take it apart and have a look? The speedo seems like it is 10mph out. Any way to cure this (it had a speedo change at 70,000miles) Other than that I have had no problems. Your help will be appreciated.
