It looks like the installer is talking rubbish and he might be blamed for anything that goes wrong with the car. There should be no difference when driving on LPG compared to normal petrol. Probably the mixture is not set properly or the ignition wires need to be replaced. Do not get fooled by driving 1000 miles with misfiring!!! As for the petrol gauge, get used to it. IS 200 tries to be very smart and assumes there must be some petrol usage, that's why the gauge will go down until the light comes on. You need to remember how much fuel you've had but the gauge will come back to its position after driving 20-30miles with petrol light on - ASSUMING THERE IS FUEL AND NO LEAKS. Good luck,

The same problem with my IS '00. I'm going to change the cambelt and the two rolls. The coolant is leaking and I could clearly see the pink liquid on the front bottom shield under the radiator. It looks like it is a water pump which has never been changed though it's a bit strange to me that it is leaking after 130k kms. My experience with other Japanese cars is that one changes the water pump usually every second cambelt change. It looks like this time it is totally different - a bit dissapointed. However the most annoying thing is that Lexus' price of the water pump is almost the same as a cambelt + two rolls. So much money for this sh.. ? Never in my life. Going to buy a different one, which is a few times cheaper, crazy stuff.

No, I did not fix it. When you start driving you can not get the feeling the shaking is there, it is only when idling. As a matter of fact I'm not looking into the problem until I get into some problems - thought somebody else could face it.

Hi, There's a strange shaking when I start the car in the morning after several hours of rest. When the engine is cold and it warms up with RPM ~1300-1500 the car sometimes shakes just like there was a problem with a cylinder not firing properly. There's nothing wrong the car has warmed up and the "check engine" light does not show up. Guess it's not humidity and ignition wires as the problem would be even bigger when driving on LPG - nothing like that, though LPG starts working when the engine is quite warm.The vibrations do not disappear when I press the clutch pedal. What can it be ? Dual mass f..... wheel? - hate that stuff in non-diesel engines.

One question about the HIDs. How is it in UK as in Poland if you have passed your MOT and the you're caught by the police and they find HIDs in H4 or H7 or whatever headlights which are not produced for HID they can take you car's registration certificate away. Then you need to pass your MOT once again and come back with the result to take the certificate back. Is it the same or passing MOT is something that lets you drive in peace ? :)

Or you can buy an external CD changer emulator that reads USB, SD and other memory cards - it works just like an external CD changer and is controlled from the head unit. The biggest drawback of the OEM unit is that it is CD audio player and hell no chance to display song titles etc.

Mine had already been LPG converted when I bought it - BRC SEQUENT 56. Fuel economy is not a pro of this car.

It looks like there was only one that failed and got it replaced. Hate the price of the coils and hate the fact that there are six of them. Never know how long the others will keep on working.

My pc soft claims that timing belt should be replaced every 100k miles/150k km or 72months. Isn't this right? Why 60k miles then?

Right, I guess coil failure is also a common problem :(

Hi guys, I guess I have the same problem. Waiting for the coil - suddenly the check engine light went on,engine started to shake, then the TRC OFF light showed up. Went for a diagnosis - cylinder misfiring - heard that 3 had gone. Switched the coils, reset ECU and found out that one has gone but the error was somehow populated. Waiting for the coil and praying that's all that needs to be done as the car is shaking and I hate the behaviour. Thought it was like a tank, but no way :(

As for my squeaking problem it seems to have been too tight parking break setup.

Hi, I've also recently noticed strange squeak when driving a cold car (usually after the car was outside for a couple of hours). It always appears when cold and going backwards. It is not constant, squeaks as the car is moving,disappears and shows up again. Then it disappears, let's say after a longer run. What could it be? I guess it's not clutch, suspension,wheel?

Imagine a month and a half ago I woke up and saw at least 20cm of fresh snow with my summer tyres - Pirelli P-Zero Nero 215/45/17. That was a total crap I could not even leave my parking and drifted on every curve, but it got much,much better when I put on winter tyres - 205/50/16''

True, guess most of the HID equipped car owners know about it
