Purchased some strimmer wire and tried the sunroof. Only saw two drain holes at the front. On the drivers side the strimmer wire went in fine. on the passenger side it stops at 1.64m (64") which is a long way and whilst it is stuck there it is possible to pour water in and it exits not getting blocked, or appearing inside the car.

Thanks Scudney & Colinbarber, my garage man that I go to regularly has said we need to replace the windscreen next -- but he has given it a good looking at and is not so opptomistic that it is the screen. It does seem to have to be very strong windy rain or when the car is driven that rain gets in. It is rain not coolant. Thanks again The reason for my post was I wondered if there are drains we have not found.

Has no-one any input?

I have a leaking problem. Dripping into passenger footwell. First inspection is that it is rain water in the heater system. It is held there after it rains and then keeps dripping out after each corner is taken as you drive along. Can anyone tell me where all the drain holes are?

Thanks for all your help. It was solved once the fuel injector on cylinder 1 replaced. The mechanic still cannot understand why the fault only occurred after a journey was paused and restarted. I am just happy it is solved.

Thanks bobmc worth checking .

Owned the car for 9 years. Today went 5 miles nice and smooth. Stopped for 10 minutes. When restarted the car was lumpy and the EMS light flashing all the way back home. So if the car is started from a long rest no problem, fault will not occur during the continued journey. If the car is started after a short break the problem occurs and will not cure itself during the journey.

Hi All, If the car (an automatic IS200 2003 that has done 150,000+miles) has been parked you get in and drive for miles and have no problem, then when you stop for two to thirty minutes and get in and drive you get the flashing light and the car is lumpy. The diagnostic tells you that Cylinder 1 has a misfire. So far the Spark plugs have been changed, the petrol pump has been changed, the ignition pack has been changed. It is definite that the stopping of the car for a short period is the trigger. Any thoughts? From now one I am replacing nothing, I will get things swapped to see if the fault moves to other cylinders.

Just doing this mod!!!! HELP The wires looking at the plug at the back of the Console are:- Top Right -- Lilac/silver Bottom right -- Grey/silver Bottom left -- Brown/silver Anyone know if I should be okay just by using the positions? Thanks

My brother took us out in his IS300, it felt very nice. We had had a windfall and decided to change our car. He had told us of the really good dealers at CHESTER and on a Saturday they clean his car so we went to have a look. We prefer automatics, as my wife is short and manuals are often nearly behind her once she puts the seat forward as far as possible. However when she sat in the 300 she felt it was too big and as she does most of the driving in it that ruled out the 300. (I drive a classic mini as my daily driver.) So the choice for us was the 200, the 250 was too new and out of our price bracket. It was not easy to buy an automatic IS200 when we found one it was always sold; felt that this was a good sign so carried on looking. Eventually Lexus Lincoln shipped a car from Lexus Wolverhampton for us to look at. My wife is really enjoying it and I at 67 do not need fast acceleration or high top speeds, I find the automatic so calm compared to previous cars - volvo, puegot, volkswagen. Even when we were young we were careful drivers with our right foot, we had a Lancia HPE and got 27mpg which nobody believed. So the consumption issue people have with the 200 does not grate with me.
