hi and welcome mines the same very sloppy feel i belive the linkages can be addjusted gonna have guy who services mine to have a look at it next service

my local trusted mec does all my servicing think it was 1.8 litre in the gearbox had diff oil changed as well and was under 4 litres for both he said main thing with doing it was all the covers under the car to remove first to get at the drain refill plugs but chages are much better and not so stiff to get into first gear. synpower not cheap tho £14 a litre at eurocarparts!!

change your gearbox oil just had mine changed to valvoline synpower result? much smoother changes with less clunking 50% better when cold.

i have pics on this site quite easy to do theres good pics on a toyota forum just google it and you should find it

i would try having the egr valve cleaned iv just added a can of bg244 though the car and is transformed much quieter smoother starts better and pulls better at low revs. im a massive sceptic but its made the car 50% better also try running the car at 4000 revs in 3rd for 50 miles i belive this helps the particulate filter self clean hope this helps ps dont use supermarket fuel and i run v power or ulitmate though it now and then.

no is out of warranty!does the car feel any diff with the new part then?

mine does that but not for so long part filter eh wonder how much they are? me thinks maybe time to sell the lex!! lol. does your car feel any diff? more powerfull?

valve was cleaned 2000 miles ago did it myself check out the pics on this very site. you say valves does the no 2 need cleaning also? and inlet manifold?...to be honest im sick of the car and the diesel engine!! lol all i seem to have done since i bought it is try and get it running how i think it should...id be happy if it ran as well as my mates focus 1.6 diesel

hi mine is exactly the same and i know the egr valve is clean!! a thing iv just tried a can of bg244 in the tank ran it on shell v power also ran it on the motorway in 3rd keeping revs up at 4 thou for 50 miles seems to have helped flat spots low down and engine seems smoother quieter and more responsive guy at lexus newcastle told me never use super market diesel and do the high revs run once a month i use sheel diesel and every 4th tank use the v power

ok thanks with this weather fitting them looks a long way off!!!!

hi everyone iv just bought some hoshi 18inch wheels for my is220 now iv been told i need 225/40 18 for the front and 255/40 18 rear is this correct?a local tire shop seems to think the fronts should be 245/40,s rears are right at 255/40 anyone help with this thanks

have you looked at pd tuning in boldon i havnt used them but might be worth looking at check out there website

Hi, I have read a few times to avoid the wheel cleaners on the forecourts as they can be quite a strong acid, hence not help the corrosion! I dont have a problem cleaning with normal car shampoo and wheel brush and a bit of elbow grease, hence dont need a cleaner. For protection, like I say I use normal car wax but am interested in what other products people use. try poorboys world wheel sealant good stuff

hi how much was it does it help the nasty turbo lag low down the rev range?

Have the same problem and tried this. Doesn't work. Any other suggestions??? it tells you how to do it in your hand book
