mine is doing my head in, thanks for the heads up on price. just the front squeal for me, would buying the ebay ones solve this? thanks Sean

i think im leaning more towards the white - still not 100% though!

thats really nice looking i am torn between blue and white now :(

if you could mate that would be ace :)

cheers matt! thats ace £21.34 for all bulbs delivered not ordered yet, but i dont know whether to get white or blue? anyone got any opinions? thanks Jay, i want to avoid any soldering!

cheers guys, Matt if you can give any more info that would be ace, have you got any photos? might change my cd player soon then!

Cheers Asi, dont want to attempt the cd layer ones, i knocked th heater controls when i swapped the cd player for yours! hence wh i need to replace them haha! will probably swap out the stock unit with a bluetooth one soon, just hope that the sound is as good as stock!

Hi Guys just read the tutorial on changing dash bulbs. I need to do mine as i cannot see my heater controls anymore :( would like white or blue i think (white is my ideal) can anyone point me to the right number and sizes of bulbs just confused as to how many i need of what type? i want to do, speedo cluster, key slot, heater controls wont attempt the cd player yet! they can stay orange. any help is appreciated regards Sean

guys, Jay sent me a replacement one of these as the first wouldnt work for me if anyone wants to give it a go feel free to post here and i will let it go to the first person FOC regards Sean

Jay your a star, worked first time for the remote unlocking with the new transponder, it does appear to be different to the one sent originally, and the buttons feel the same as the ones in my 3btn key, the original transponder you sent had very hard buttons i cant get the immobiliser thing to work though i must be doing that bit wrong, going read up again and try later regards Sean

how much we talking for the oil change? i still havent had mine done as i cant afford the £140 that a local garage wants!

your tyres may of been flat in terms of psi, i changed mine the other week and noticed that the car was a bit more twitchy than with the old tyres on, but the guy did say that they had like 20psi in them!

thats very kind Jay much appreciated will give the new one a go, if its the same it must be me!

thats a very kind offer Jay its a 2003 model i have also tried the other method that was put as a sticky :(

Remote Programming 1. Close and lock all doors. Unlock and open drivers door. 2. Put key into ignition and remove. Do not turn it on. 3. Using the electric lock switch. Lock and unlock 5 times. (Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock) 4. Close and open drivers door. 5. Using the electric lock switch. Lock and unlock 5 times. (Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock, Lock, Unlock) 6. Put key into ignition. Turn to "ON" , turn off and remove. 7. You will see the door locks cycle by themselves. If the door locks do not cycle (lock and unlock) by themselves then the car isn’t in programming mode and you must start over. 8. On the remote, press and hold the LOCK and the UNLOCK button at the same time for no more than 2 seconds. 9. On the remote, press the LOCK button for no more than 1 second. AT THIS POINT, the locks should cycle by themselves ONE time. This means the procedure was accepted. IF the locks cycle twice it has failed. The most common reason for programming failure is because the car didn’t receive a good signal from the remote. To fix this problem try these tips. 1) Stand outside of the car while you are performing steps 8 and 9. 2) Don’t hold the remote buttons down as long. As long as the car is still in programming mode you can keep trying steps 8 and 9 until you complete the programming. If you wait too long and the car exits the programming mode then you must start over. After you get the remote to program then continue on with step 10. 10. Close and open door to end programming procedure. just got a new key and fresh transponder. i tried the first method and cant get it to lock and unlock to say its accepted. So i tried the method above, i can get it to item 7. but it just locks and unlocks once? i try pressing unlock and lock then lock but it doesnt do anything? as soon as i remove the key and it does that one cycle the secuity light just flashes like normal? should it still be flashing fast when doing 8. and 9.? done it about 50 times already argh! also cant get any immobiliser ones to work at all sad.gif can anyone help

will retry with the opening method, think ive done it wrong! the key does the elecs and works so i am not that bothered, but cant believe its still longer!

probably worth more to someone called ALEX than someone with a Lexus?

got it cut, fits in and turns the elecs on, woohoo! just cant get it to programe! going back out now to try again!

Just recieved the new key that i got from the link Jay provided, its exactly the same length as the one i already bought! i am going to go and get it cut and see if it works. i have attached a photo to show the difference, its about 2-3mm? anyone confirm if it will work or not? thanks Sean

cheers Jay i have ordered that one you have linked to not too fussed about returning this 40mm long one. was only £10 regards Sean

Hi Guys i got a transponder from Jay on here (thanks mate) and bought a key from ebay, it was this one: Key i noticed that there are longer keys available, so i measured mine and its about 37mm. have i bought one of the longer keys? its 40mm long the key cutter said it wont be the fact that my original key has worn down? anyone point me in the right direction. regards Sean

i got £60 to do 250 miles over xmas, normally i get 350+ miles from motorway dirving

thanks Jay got it today :)

so what do i need to find to match this? a blank key? then what is the next step. regards Sean

oh so i can get an approved one? not have to go to the dealers? they said that they dont sell it in 5litre (*whatever size) containers but draw it off from a massive barrell as and when needed? i am not going to the dealer to get it done but my local mechanic rang them and this was the outcome!
