indeed :P That's only because I have no aerial, it does not disturb the airflow on the roof :duh:

The ones form Halfords are crap, get one from the dealer, they are not more expensive

It was not the aerial wire as such, it is the "power antenna" wire which activates the integrated amplifier in the aerial base when the radio is turned on, it is a standard 1mm2 wire The usual aerial wire is big enough to not forget it :)

That's true, thanks for your kind help and assistance . It was much appreciated :)

Back in 2003, my headunit had the ERR3 problem and the dealers in France did not want to change it under warranty so I bought a Pioneer headunit from eBay at a very good price. At the same time, I had lots of mods done on the car and one of them was having the roof layed with carbon fiber so the aerial was removed when all this happened. As a result when I installed the Pionner headunit, the tuner was unable to pickup any radio signal. After a few time, the carbon stuff did not turn out quite well so I removed it and had the roof resprayed but with the aerial hole filled ind. I decided to reconnect the aerial but inside the car, along the rear window, behind the side panel. The radio still did not work unfortunately. now, a bit more than 4 years later, the Pionner mechanism for the front panel broke down so I decided to go for a new headunit. I had to rewire everything as the previous headunit had no ISO connector so I wired it directly on the standard loom but the new one has ISO connectors so I wired a universal ISO adaptor to the loom after removing everything from the previous headunit. While I was doing it, I realised that there is a antenna wire on the standard loom as there is on the ISO connector. I did not connect this wire on the previous headunit. Guess what, the radio is now working again! What a knob ... I drove the car for more than 4 years without being able to use the radio just because I did not wire the head unit properly ... I really feel stupid now. Luckily enough I have loads of CDs and the headunit was MP3 capable.

Probably an e39 M5, I love this car and the prices are quite low now. And if I had a bit more money a RS4 B5

Many thanks from me aswell Tony, I am really pleased that you have been able to check the car and that it could have gone through the British MOT without any problem. The guys had a bit of fun to get it on the ramp :) Thanks for managing to get it on yours between 2 of your apointments B) GWilso, when did you arrive? I left around 11.30. There was a 1C6 IS200 when I aarived and a dark blue GS300 when I left.

mine rubs on the rear when there are people on the back seat otherwise it does not. They are 235 GS-D3s on ET45 19x8 wheels

19s will be fine, just check in the pinned topic for wheels size and offset For the engine it is up to you, both have been done and for the ECU get a standalone one as HKS FCON, Greddy eManage...

I which way were they illegal ? Ahmet what are Q plates meaning ?

I would suggest the South of England Showground but it will be a tad far from Wales, Scotland and Ireland

109.8 this morning at Texaco for 97RON

Dark tail lights were an option for dark paint colours from 2001 onwards and can be found on eBay

My Pioneer headunit comes from the US, it works perfectly. RDS works has far as I can tell. I bought a Clarion DVD player for a friend from Asia, theonly issue he haad was the DVD zone

it seems to not work for the early IS200s (with the lower CD changer type)

I was looking at one of these units but with GPS. For the ones you are looking at, at this price you can not really go wrong

I will be there and I am bringing the OBD-II reader Wozza

I hope it will go back up quickly so I stop losing money :(

It is the same chassis so there is no reason why it would not fit Mine is a 2000 IS200 and the hotchkiss fit without any modification

here you go :)

I asked him and it is $195 to France so should be about the same to UK, he ships only via UPS Express thus the high price. There is a better deal with this one as shipping is lower and you get all the joints + the quality seems far better : http://cgi.ebay.com/JVT-Racing-Lexus-IS300...emZ330201731662
