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.

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.

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.

New Law came out in March

Maybe the garage you took yours to are not as strict as others.

Read my post.

It says headlights, not fog lights!

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

Normally if the indicators flash faster normal speed then it is a bulb blown/bad connection.

I was tempted to fit HID lamps to my headlights but unfortunately the new MOT laws have put a stop to that.

Hi Guys and Girls

I have to change No2 cylinder injector.

Thanks in advance

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

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.

Get your lower swivels checked mate.

CoopDog

Are you still looking?

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

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.

Nick

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

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

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.

Try Wheels in Motion.

Look them up online

Tony Bones(owner) and his team are first class wuth regards to steering, suspension, geometry etc

I would certainly suspect either your head gasket has gone or head/block is cracked

Check your lower swivels mate

Hi

I had the cars 4-wheel alignment and camber done around 6 months ago after i had 4 x new tyres fitted, you could tell from the old tyres the camber was out.

OK so everything was fine until yesterday when one of the tyres needed changing due to a puncture. the puncture was on the passenger side rear of the car, so i needed a new tyre. rather than buying a new tyre i managed to get a part-worn tyre and had this fitted. now bearing in mind the car is rear-wheel drive i moved the front two tyres to the rear and then the new tyre to the front passenger side and the other old driver side rear to the front - i did this so the back two tyres had the same mm tread to avoid causing any problems with the differential.

Right, now i have a problem that when im driving the steering is off, so i have to turn the wheel off to the left to get the car to drive straight!

All tyres are directional and they are installed correctly with arrow pointing in correct direction, I'm thinking it can't be the tracking as it was fine when the tyres were on the front before?

Has anyone got any ideas of what it could be or what i should check?

Thanks

Where did you get your tracking done?

Hi all

Still around and still have my IS200

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

Yes indeed
