Thanks in advance.

Anyone know if it fits?

as title?

Thanks in advance.

Ive just film tinted my rear side, but the rear would be a pain in the arse, and some of my heatted elements arent working so may look out for a sport rear window :)

Any one got any pics of how tinted they are?

Cheers!

is the rear window tinted as well as the rear side windows?

Cheers.

Ive just got back from Autoglass bracknell, they wanted to check it again, however when i got there he just looked at the screen and said that was all he need to check. He had made some calls and found that the Pilkington branded screens have a possible fault with the heated element cables causing sealing issues. So theyve agreed to fit a genuine Lexus screen, just awaiting a call back when they have sourced the glass.

Im sure ive read somewhere here about problems with pilkington glass??

Well the new genuine screen has been in quite a few weeks and we've had quite a few showers and all seems well. Just waiting for some persistant hard rain to really test it!

Still all ok now so it seems it was the glass that was at faut.

Hey you three NEWBEEs.. check dates before posting! this thread is a year old!

What does being a manual do to add to the looks?! lol

They will almost certainly send them as gift without u asking, I wouldnt ask incase customs decide to stick to the letter of the law (which is 1k fine!)

Id want the Sport grill, thin lip spoiler, tints and the LSD.

I'd happily do with out the chav pedals, kickplates and skirts.

So far ive only added the grill to my SE but i am always on the look out for the other bits, especially the LSD!

My IS200 tyre experience so far has been:

Bought the car with nearly new Dunlop 9000s fitted, which seemed ok, but fronts wore quite fast (illegal after 5-6kish) so when i replaced my fronts with falken 452s i realised how bad the dunlops were in the wet, so I got another pair of 452s for the rear when the rear dunlops wore 3-4k later.

Sadly the falkens wore very quickly on the front (4-5k) (even with rotating on the rims so wear was evened out) When they they were replaced I got hold of some part worn GY Eagle F1s but they were 225 45 17s so i put them in the rear and moved the newer 452s to the front, which again, proceeded to wear quite fast again and they now need replacement. Even with alot more tread on the the Goodyears (4-5mm) compared to the 452s (2mm), they arent as good in the wet, but I like my rear end to be loose, it suits my driving style.

Not sure what il get next, looking at Michelins as they tend to wear well.

Wooo extra rain means 3 new faults to add to the list... this evening I have had everything, lightson , alam set off when entering, no fuel, mpg, water temp gauges, outside temp showing 'E' - and now the added bonus of seatbelt warning light on, even when belted up, door open light on, rear screen demister not working even though light is on switch AND 'snow' indiciator light failing to come on when switch is pressed, (and possibly snow function not working either but its hard to tell!)

Furhter minor update on mine:

After having autoglass out on the the 19th feb to reseal it, today was the 1st sign of rain to test, however it was very light rain which never used to set it off, it had to be persistant heavy rain. HOWEVER the lights are on as we speak so it appears they have made it worse as they now come on with the tinyest amount of rain.

Awaiting a call back from them now.

Loggy I have no idea what your problem is or why you even posted fella. Play nice or don't play at all.

Mine started doing this tonight :(

had my screen replaced a few months back but this is the 1st time ive had the problem. Its been ok for the last few hours but i dont fancy leaving it overnight to wake up to a flat battery, so may do the relay trick.

I even warned the guy from autoglass about the problem, stating, 'Ive heard from lots of owners club members that its a common fault after the screen is replaced and that the wire for the auto lights needs to be sealed well'

he assured me that it would be and that all work was warrantied anyway. PAH!

Il be checking my fuse box tonight and making a call to Autoglass 2moro morning if i find damp in there.

Just thought id update on mine:

After this happened in Dec, we had a dryish spell and it hadnt happened, untill we had all the snow last week, when that melted i had the light problem, it also went on to effect the Temp, fuel and MPG guage (all registerted 0 when driving) - then the final straw was the alarm!

I unlocked the car with the fob, and opened the door and the alarm was set off, and it would not go off no matter how many times I locked and unlocked it with the fob. Eventually it stopped, so I tried again, and it set off again! This time i just got in and drove, 100yrds down the road it stopped and didnt do it again, however the lights persisted till the rain stopped on monday.

I rang lexus who confirmed it was a common fault (i didnt mention screen and the moment i said the lights were coming on they imediately asked if id had the screen done.) They recommended i took it back to autoglass.

Took it there today and they 'water tested' it, (which consisted of little squirt from a hose) which revealed no obvious leak, however they have agreed to reseal the the screen next week.

So it will have to be a suck it and see situation.

Im going to start a simple thread to see how many have had this issue and what the outcomes have been.

Dave.

My little skid light pops on now and then just too remind me my car is looking out for me :)

B x

turn the wee button off and let her go its much more fun lol

Steer from the rear FTW;)

Thanks guys, that should help.

in the first pic its literally 1 of the 2 small black boxes (the one on the left )behind the fear fog and headlight washer buttons,(does your headlight washer button work)

Yes headlight washers work fine. y?

Could anyone ID the likely places to find problems?

Anyone? Its going in to Lex in the new year if I cant figure it out over the xmas break!

Diesel or black ice. Tis cold out there at this time of year!

I remember a while back me and my bro were in different cars on the way to an Autosolo early one morning, i was behind him and we both skidded in syncro round the same roundabout (looked quite neat! lol) but theres was shockingly little grip, if either of us had been driving faster or not quite so on the ball it could have ended alot worse. When we stopped a few mins later we both said at the same time 'must have been diesel on that roundabout!' - must be a brother thing! lol
