  1. I totally understand about the impulse buying mate. Then, when you think about it you realise you dont really need/want.

    Been there lots of times mate. I think ARB's are for peeps who like to go fast round roundabouts. I'm quite a "normal driver" :whistling: Thought about them a few times but managed to control myself.

  2. Great info Nick, i'm desperately looking for the front doorcards in black, with the chrome speaker rims.

    Have e-mailed every breaking is200 on e-bay to no avail. If you happen to be passing that place anytime, would it be possible to have a nosey for me mate ? Only if your passing mate, i dont want to put you out.

    Do you know if they would post things to Scotland mate ?

  3. Dont get too disheartened mate, these little niggles are a pain in the ar$e but you'll struggle to get a car as comfortable as your Lexus. Take it to your local independant garage and ask them to have a look for you mate.

    If it's a disc, they are not too expensive, HERES loads. If it's a caliper you can either get a NEW one for £115 from HERE or a repair kit from HERE for £30.

    Keep your chin up mate, you'll get to the bottom of it.

  4. I had the same thing mate. Red hot caliper, clunking when turning slow and braking. I fixed it by taking out all the pads and clip/springs,copper greasing the the pads and shims and bending the clips a little bit to make sure the pads are tight. I also took the sliding pins out the caliper and greased them also. I just sprayed some WD40 on the pistons then pushed the pistons back into the caliper.

    Hope this helps.

  5. Hi ACLex, is it possible to get the front doorcards ? The ones with the chrome speaker rings, from 51 onwards i think. If so how much would they be ?

    Thanks,

    Tommy

    I think you may be searching Flea bay or breakers for these as they are £610 + vat each :o

    Andy

    :o I'd be cheaper buying a full car, taking the doorcards, then throwing the rest away :duh: Iv'e tried loads of breakers on flea bay, nothing doing.

    Thanks anyway Andy.

  6. On the is200 there is a little spring/wire that clips into the pads, that keeps the pads away from the disc's ,ie stops the the pads rubbing against the disc's, it may be missing, as i have one missing and it's making this noise.
