  1. Thanks guys, plenty to think about there. Only had him interested so far.
  2. Well no I wouldn't but he didn't ever say what "arrangement" he was proposing. The only way the car is leaving my possession is with the exact money in cash placed in my hand.
  3. So I'm having to sell my IS as I'm moving overseas. Put it on Autotrader on Thursday evening, got my first call this morning. It was a guy from Northern Ireland who said he was off on holiday tomorrow but was very interested and could we come to an arrangement over the phone. This set alarm bells ringing immediately, but he wanted to complete the deal when he got back in a weeks time. I explained that I can't hold the car for him and if someone appears with the money at my door then I will be taking it. He said he will give me a call when he is back from his holiday to see if I still have it and if I do he will head over. Parts of this sound dodgy but I don't know if I am just being over cautious. What do you guys think?
  4. Hello all, I have just noticed that about an inch length of my sunroof seal is missing. Not the whole seal but just the top bit, the seal is like a rectangular box so it is like the lid is missing for an inch length (hope that makes sense). It definitely wasn't there a week or so ago and I have no idea how it happened. I don't know why anyone would pick it away and I'm not convinced it has perished, maybe a bird pecked it away!? Anyway, it appears to be waterproof as if it rains only a small amount goes into the seal and then drains out of the holes in the seal that you can see when you open the sun roof. To make it look a little better and a probably a bit more waterproof I have covered the area with a small amount of black insulation tape. I am probably selling the car in six months or so and wondered what you guys thought. Do I just leave it as it is and replace the tape periodically or do I get the seal replaced? I have a feeling that getting the seal replaced will be expensive?
  5. Right, just checked. All lights work except the one that should come on when the drivers seat switch is pressed. The seats heat up too. Just need to get hold of the bulb now. I know its a bit off topic but my grille is also worn showing some silver underneath (just noticing all these things because its new to me), is this a common problem? Am thinking of replacing it.
  6. I think it does, seemed to get warm. Will try again this evening!
  7. Hmmm, I can't remember either of them lighting up when the headlights are on! The drivers side definitely doesn't light up when pressed though. So these definitely light up when the headlights are on? Will check tonight.
  8. Don't suppose anyone knows if there is somewhere online I can get hold of a new bulb? My nearest dealership is Leeds and it doesn't seem worth making a special trip!
  9. Cheers guys, so just pull it with my hands? No prising with screwdrivers or anything?
  10. I mentioned this in the new members area where I introduced myself. The bulb has blown on the drivers heated seat switch, does anyone know how I can get to the bulb and replace it? Thanks Chris
  11. Cheers Kam, any ideas how to get the switch out!?
  12. I am after a touch up kit for my Platinum Ice (1CO) IS200. I have rung the Toyota dealership near me and they have a paint code 1CO but it is called something else. What I want to know is......is it the same colour? The guy at Lexus Leeds seems to think so but last thing I want to do is put on dabs of paint that stick out like a sore thumb!! Cheers
  13. Hello all! After my trusty VW Golf got broken into and damaged beyond repair I bought myself an 02 plate IS200 Sport. Very pleased with it so far. I have noticed the light that indicates the drivers side heated seat doesn't work (the heated seat does though), is this an easy fix? Chris
