ormi where did you get you kit from or did you make it up to change them to side lights?

cheers i see its not legal that answers my question on shall i do it

tried but dont seem to get any where with searching at mo keep getting timed out cuz comp is really slow cheers for answering my question mate

right this is really puzzling me when you change you rear fog lights for brake lights do they stay as fog lights aswell?? thinking about getting kit and was woundering about where the fogs went

Mate iam 34 and get funny looks and i personaly think its jelousy because they wasted there money on what the neighbours brought .

Had the same problem when changed my bumper but took light out put hairdrier in the bulb holder dried the moist out then i discovered there is a flap at the top of the back of the headlight pulled it up and found that the foam breather witch vents the light was damp and dirty so pulled them out and just put new bit of foam in since then nothing no moisture in lights so would sugest to try that first save you hassle of taking lights if you dont need to hope that helps

45 tyre wall i run them with 34 psi air presure all round find that gives good even tyre wear on lanes

They are 17s live in the sticks so need to keep tyre wall quite big to cope with the pot holes and bad roads

got the wheels from bk racing in exeter for 260 plus rounded wheel nuts ( looks like a socket ) they got a web site mate give them a look

i would keep then 215 45 17 all round been running on khumos for just over a year now and they seem pretty good dont think you will notice much difference between 215 and 225 any way

phone the police say the person that hit you car has contacted you and its being sorted and they will close case . but only if you are sure she will pay but yes i think you did right thing

if someone hit my car and denied it i would call police if you let one person get away with damaging your car who knows what damage they will do to next car

i had this problem and found out that it was the clips inside the socket .this is what i did take out lighter (removable element) and look in side and at the bottom there is two clips which hold the lighter down to heat it up pull then out a bit from the edge and it works again, this worked for me not saying thats you problem but does sound like the fault i had

just rember to diconect Battery for twenty minutes before hand to de charge the air bag and be carful with pre tensioner on selt belt , i know it sounds minour but can be fatal but car electric can be funny when not working properly

Mate can help you there go to www.bahamutcars.com its a french site so pick work shop manuals on the first page then scroll down the second and click on is 200 manual and it a good manual used alot and its free

even got pics to help you dismantle and assemble

hope you find this helpful

It could be your Battery losing its charge i had probs starting a few months back one day it would start fine then the next struggled to start .

Might be worth going to your local garage and get them check your Battery, since i changed mine it has started every time!

I got mine from bk racing in exeter paid 330 for new wheels to take tyres off old wheels put on,balance.

When i contacted them they knew what pcd i need so no worries about wrong wheel fitting

Cheers guys for help will connect tommorow

ps i did search not sure i put it in right sorry :rolleyes:

Where did you get the dials from ? I love em but cant find them any where havent got a sport so have seen someone on here with rising sun ones so would get them! But bet you will be smileing every time you go for drive looking at the dials

Just had new screen fitted and the broken window did not have heated elements but new one has so does any one know if its just a case of just connecting wires under the scuttle plate or do i need to buy switch or is it connected to the rear demisster switch?

Well every week i fill up and set me trip counter and i live in the country use fare bit of back lanes and i get about 35mpg thats driving not like i stole it nor like iam 157 years of age.

The most ive got out of my tank from full to empty was 523 miles but must say car not had any engine mods ( yet! )

But perhaps its just me but i love the is200 and iam not embarrest who sees me in it and what fuel i use so if people mock i look at what they drive and laugh cuz i found that the people that slate lexus just cant afford one and are jealous

mate they look simalar to mine not the same got mine from bk racing and they give you wheel nuts to go with them and they right pcd

I would sell you car privatly the you will have about 3.5k witch should buy you and farly decent motor. I was like you and wanted a sport went and looked at quite a few travelled far with my dad and then a man about 6 miles away had a silver se for sale went and had a look and ended up buying it like john99 treg said its if you want the slight trimmings that the sport offers without extra cost or do like what i am doing buy se and put the parts that you like on because you can get plenty of good stuff from scrap yards and eBay and do stuff you self.

Because i think people will agree when you first get the car its good but then you want to make it suit you.

But hang in there and the right car for you will come along and you will now once you take it for test drive good luck in you serch

Same here my old car a rover 220 coupe had its number plate copied in london and got tickets but when it went to court the tickets were written for bmw m3 but lost wages having to go to court so dont want hassle again.

Open glove box and you will see two arms either side .push one side in and pull forward past lip then the same for other side and glovebox will swing down and you will aircon unit then pull tray out to expose filter hope that helps

Nice job mate may i ask what you used on you air box and exhust shield to make them shiney

I think its down to taste i would get the lexus cuz its different little bit rare on the roads the bm is good car but for me a little bit common now for my liking but as for mr clarkson who takes him serious he the man who waited two years for a ford gt40 and had nothing but probs with it breaking down and he coulnt drive it anywhere to low to wide so i wouldnt

Take his oppinion to serious
