  1. When you remove the air filter box there is an emissions pipe(shaped a bit like a question mark) that clips on underneath it and the other end fits onto a union on the rocker box. Mine was split in the middle and also at both ends where the clips secures it. The oil mist was coming from it, running along the rocker cover and down into both No1 & No2 spark plug tubes. Maybe worth checking that little sucker out first.
  2. I had similar issue with No2 cylinder misfire. Fine till the engine warmed up then misfires. Fitted New plugs (they were knackered too).....same thing happens used coil pack.....same thing happens used injector...PERFECT Car has been running now for 2-3 weeks and its purrs like a Rolls Royce.
  3. If HID lights are fitted as standard by the manufacturer then its not a problem. If after market ones are fitted then it also has to have self levelling suspension.
  4. New Law came out in March Maybe the garage you took yours to are not as strict as others.
  5. Read my post. It says headlights, not fog lights!
  6. My Toyota Carina was hit up the back end many years ago and the Insurance Company wrote it off. The fella from the Insurance Company then said that it would be a shame to write the car off as it was in such good condition before the smack, so, would I be happy if they used 2nd hand parts instead of new to repair it. I said that as long as it looked as good as it did then yes go ahead. They did and it was an absolutely brilliant job at a third of the price. Might be worth mentioning that idea to your Insurance Company and body shop people and see what they say. Good Luck
  7. Normally if the indicators flash faster normal speed then it is a bulb blown/bad connection.
  8. I was tempted to fit HID lamps to my headlights but unfortunately the new MOT laws have put a stop to that.
  9. Hi Guys and Girls I have to change No2 cylinder injector. Can anybody post a link to a write up or blow up parts listing on how its done etc. Thanks in advance Nick
  10. Hi Guys & Girls Could any elec techys advise me on my problem. The FM side of it has packed up, it just keeps scanning for a station. The MW/LW is ok and so are all the other functions. Should I be looking at the amp or aerial? I've got the 2000(W) IS200SE Thanks in advance
  11. Did mine on my IS200SE Auto 2 weeks ago. Very easy to do. Original thickness was 25mm, 16mm can be fitted which is the one I have used. £80 from ebay delivered by courier the next day. No problems whatsoever.
  12. Get your lower swivels checked mate.
  13. After many years of fantastic motoring in my IS200SE it is sadly time to let her go. If any one is interested in owning it .......... message me. Regards Nick
  14. Job done guys and girls. Silly me had the pad retaining clips in the wrong positions. Car now drives ................. and stops really well ............ with no more sticking calipers. Thanks Steve & Patrick for your replies. Regards Nick
  15. Many thanks for the replies fellas. On my return from work next week I will get back on it (weather permitting)!!!!! Once again ........... Many thanks Nick
  16. Hi guys & girls Removed both calipers, carriers etc and overhauled them with seals, slide pins and pads due to the sticking caliper syndrome. Can't now bleed brakes and I also think the calipers are on the wrong sides. I assume that the bleed nipples should be at the top and not facing down, also can somebody tell me whether the pad with the wear indicator sits on the inside or the outside of the carrier? On the calipers there is an L on one and an R on the other. This must mean Left and Right sided?? If so, I cannot fit the left caliper on the left side due to the pad retaining clips fowling on the caliper and visa versa on the right. Could somebody post piccys of clip positions, bleed nipple position etc so I can get an idea where I have gone wrong. As the title says......... Im having A real senior moment at the mo. Many thanks in advance Nick
  17. Flashing TRC and management light on could be a number of things. Get the fault codes read mate, it will save you time and possibly money.
  18. Try Wheels in Motion. Look them up online Tony Bones(owner) and his team are first class wuth regards to steering, suspension, geometry etc
  19. I would certainly suspect either your head gasket has gone or head/block is cracked
  20. Check your lower swivels mate
  21. Hi all Still around and still have my IS200
  22. I believe your unit may be knackered, but, search the forum as there have been loads of posts about this error and quite possibly a fix. Good luck
