That video doesn't really do them a lot of justice if I am honest. Could you take any pics for us? Do they have a HID white colour?

Do you have any pics of these on the car and operational pls?

I had seized piston on each side when I went to replace my discs and pads. So I bought a refurb kit from BiggRed fitted myself. All seemed ok for approx 800 miles and once again my brakes are binding. Chris on here also had the same issue. I cant be ar5ed anymore having already attempted to DIY fix so I am sending the calipers off to BiggRed for full refurbishment. I have negotiated a small discount having already attempted DIY with their own kit and when I get them back they will have 1 year guarantee on them. Cant wait for a silent ride and worry free braking :-D

They look fine don't they :-) Thanks for doing that. Now all I gotta do is wait for them to arrive from Japan :-)

Haha nice one thanks

Cool. Any chance of some pics please? Of the car from the side and of a wheel close up?

Cool. I think I will go for the ISF ones then. 1) They will suit my grey wheels better 2) They are £40 cheaper than OEM 11 spoke center caps

I wonder if a bead of black silicone would 'seal the deal' on these??? hmmm

Cheers. Appreciate it :-)...... decisions lol

Hi Stuart. It was yourself that I took the recommendation from on Facebook ;-) So yes I thought it made acceleration more steady which I guess makes your foot "less heavy" when you press the throttle. Preventing loss of excess fuel not needed to get you round that bus ;-) Been working well for me....thanks! :-)

I have recently been driving in snow mode and have to say it's either a placebo, or actually makes a diff. The logic make sense. I may be wrong but I think snow mode limits the amount of fuel going in - it certainly feels like that anyway. However sluggish it might feel when you first use it, once you get used to it it's actually lot better because if you come to overtake a bus or something switch it off and your car comes alive! haha. Honestly makes fuel go further on motorways if not all the time.

That would be a great help, thanks so much! You can email to me@billnick.com if that is easier

Great thanks....any chance of a picture please? I dont want to spend £60 and not be satisfied as they are from Japan I cannot send them back

Hi all. I am having a bit of a mare with center caps for my new wheels. I bought some used 11spokes for the IS200 and none of them came with center caps. Lexus want £24 per cap for the OEM ones that came on the 11 spokes. The part number is 42603-53090. I bought some universal 60mm caps from ebay which were slightly too small and did not clip in properly = no good. So I am guessing the OEM caps are 62mm ish? Does anyone know if these will fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110998537824?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619 Or is anyone able to give me precise 3 dimensional measurements of the OEM 11 spoke caps please? Thanks Bill

I'll try and find it.....

In that case it would have to be a 300 LE for me....hmmmmm rare though

Haha ok now I feel like a bit of a dunce....However I did follow a guide posted on LOC for renewing my coolant! I am def going to look tonight! Cheers

Really? wow ok cant believe I have missed that. I renewed my coolant myself last year but used the Rad cap. I have since checked it by looking under the rad cap.

I didnt think we had a header tank?

LOVE the LE....thinking of swapping for one. Though I wish they came with tints and a lip spoiler on the boot :-(

What click does the ABS make and when does/should it make it? The click I get is when I apply the brakes at very slow speeds either stopping to reverse into somewhere or moving in traffic.

I got this clicking to. It is diagnosed as the slide pins needing a re grease however I did mine when I refurbed my calipers a month ago and I still get it from time to time. Might take them apart again make sure they are ok

I had this for a long while before I rebuilt my calipers (new pistons, seals and all greased up). I have put them back on with new discs and pads and still get the same clunk sound on change of direction. The slide pins took a fair amount of grease as well as new boots etc. Is it possible the clunk is actually coming from the back? I hope my pads are not moving as being brand new there will be minimal clearance for them to move about let along clunk. Any other suggestions? If the back was to make this noise, what would cause it?

Well first of all I went to Lexus Parts Direct who quoted me as above £23.58. I even challenged them as I knew members on here had paid around the £16 mark. His answer to that was that the catalog prices have increased. A 44% price increase is absolutely ridiculous if you ask me. So I then went to AClex as you mentioned and he confirmed £23.58 is correct. I really don't know what else to do apart from pay the money. How many years is a few years when you went to Lexus MK? I may try and call a few dealers just incase.

Hi to all, I need to get a full set of center caps for the 11 spoke wheels I have recently acquired and refurbished.. This is the Lexus Part# 42603-53090 which I found after searching on this forum. The threads on the forum suggested a price of approx £16 per cap which isnt cheap but still fair. I called Lexus today and they said that part number is showing £23.58inc VAT which is daylight robbery considering I only paid £100 + £155 refurbishment on the wheels themselves!! So, I went on the hunt in the US and a couple of suppliers have come up approx $21 each. Cheaper but still not very cheap after shipping. Does anyone have experience ordering from the US? Can you suggest a supplier? Is it worth me making the small saving or shall I just swallow the price and get them in the UK making sure what I get is correct etc etc? Thanks Bill
