D17 DOW

Yes my focus had a heated front screen it was great and on a cold and frosty morning it cleared in secs. Well things i dont like about the is are there is no arm rest in mine it really needs one might fit one. Also i dont like the 1st to 2nd gear change and i think the badge in the middle of the steering wheels should be chrome but that is picky lol other than that i love it. Oh and i hated the original gear knob i think its hidious so much so i replaced it with one out of a mondeo which looks far better, has the right gate on the top and is more comfortable to use

Pink one sounds like the one to use

I didnt know that i stand corrected i am amazed what people know on here i learn stuff all the time.

I have a parrot bluetooth kit in mine its great connect as soon as you get in the car and comes through all the front speakers. If you fit it well it looks great and all the wires and clever stuff are hidden behind the dash. Mine cost me arround £80 from amazon.co.uk

lol

Great Info i had no idea they ever rallyed an is200 how cool.

Well im only 20 i still live at home, even though i work the same hours as you i can esure you that evenings and weekends provide more than enough time to play with your car. However as you so rightly pointed out i dont have to look after kids and tidy the house, but i do do my washing and ironing which takes a few hours a week even thoose these could be better used on the car hehe. The rest of my free time is spent with friends, washing my car, fitting things to my car, polishing my car, looking at new polishes and cleaning products for my car and also washing my car again lol. And all the lovely people on loc make me feel less alone as there are others that are just as ocd about cars as me. Before loc i would have thought i was the only one lol

Great bit of info again geoffers thanks

Not bad at all

Me too i think its great in the snow you just need to drive accordingly. There is no need to drive a 5 mph just feel what the car is doing correct as you go she handles beautifully.

haha so true

Toyota sell 2 types firstly there is red or green. Lexus takes red as far as i know mine does a 2005 is 200 and a friend of mines does a 2000 is200 also there is one type which is for top up pre mixed and another for a new rad which is neat and would need to be mixed but im not sure what the ratio is.

I have heard the cheaper units as less reliable and can cause the bulb failier warning lights to come on how ever if you are going to use these for main beam and fogs then i wouldnt worry. I cant say what they are like i went for some slightly more expensive ones for mine as i am using them for my dipped beams.

Yes as your tyres wear down the circumference of your wheels change this there for changes the cars own accuracy to record true road speed.

Its the pink as far as i remember its a switched supply as well so when the ignition is of it wont work. Well thats the case on mine anyway hope that helps

I am lucky enough to have a 2005 is 200 sport navigator so it has the built in sat nav and i have to say it is far better than any after market sat nav that i have used before as it keeps up with you. It may lack some features that sonys and tom toms have and you do have to buy a disc from lexus to update it but when it comes down to it it makes finding places a pleasure. To start with she has a lovely voice wjich comes through the stereo not a little plastic box on the dash. It keeps up with your movments far better than an after market one because it not only uses gps but also other information from the car like the position of the steering wheel and speed. As a result she knows where you are. I just thought i would let you know anyway welldone for fitting the tomtom in it is a neat job far better than sticking something on the windscreen i hate that!

I like the sound of the alfa i had a 156 a while ago but i was broken down by the side of the road more than i was on it. Even so fantastic car i did love it when it worked. As for the colour of the lex silver never seems to go out of fashion its like having cream walls in your house a bit of a no brainer it looks good and i am sure has no effect on the value really.

You've seen the one with the midgit who just whaps his nob out on his mates face and pees in his beer? Thank God it's not just me Oh no i meant the film think it might just be you on that one sounds seriously wrong lol

Beetle Juice is halerious!

Yes very true lol

lol

Yes it is the bright instant flash is the system using 23000 peak volts to ignite the spark between the electrodes in the bulb as it has no filliment this then settles down and will slowly brighten till it gets to the right temperature. takes about 8 secs to settle. totally normal

You can buy the flat type in tesco i just dont like the look of the and i think the bosch ones are more pleasent to look at through the windscreen i know how sad am i lol

I have had my radio in and out a few times, for fitting a sub, parrot bluetooth and an ipod interface and it has never asked me for a code.

As said above they are truly terribel it just tricks your engine management into thinking the air is cold and has more oxygen, meaning that the car will run rich. That is no good thing.
