Gents, this is the only engine treatment one i could find on the Halfords website: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_194883_langId_-1_categoryId_165750#dtab Felix - LexyNik will this work on my 5w30 semi synthetic Castrol running engine? dont want to put the wrong stuff in. thanks,

ok... and then just drive calmly for how longer after resetting ECU? 2 weeks? izzy

calipers are fine.. and im sure the brake are too.. im sure i would have noticed if the brakes were binding.. the car was last serviced 2 months ago... Engine oil changed, Spark plugs changed Gear box oil changed rear diff oil changed Air filter was fine.. how do i go about getting a ECU reset? do i need a garage for this or can i do on my own? im guessing you need to connect to a computer. cheers

hi mate, thanks for the info. the link you forwarded came up with an error and didnt work :-( what kind of difference did you notice with the Redline? were you having issues prior to wacking this stuff in?

Gents, is there any way of making the gearbox smoother? currently i find it fairly rigid to change gears... from 1st all the way to 4th..and its annoying. im aware of the clunk in the 2nd (which is annoying as it is).. but is there anything that can be done to smooth out the gear changes? ps. i changed the gearbox oil about 2 months ago. thanks in adv Izzy

Hi All, Does anyone have the Grom Ipod adapter installed? I wanted to know the quality of sound using this kit from the speakers? is this crystal clear like how it should be if a original CD was being played... or is their a reduction in sound quality? I am intending to buy one very soon. thanks, Izzy

18's minimum ya?

Gents, Does anyone know where the cheapest place is to get a GROM IPOD adapter - most competitively priced? Ebay is doing them for £79.99... Does anyone know of a cheaper place? thanks in advance Izzy

I think its a bit of a PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES take tbh.. 3 litre cars getting more MPG than mine.. its really putting me off the Lex..seriously.. just recently i think the light went on around 65 miles.. 65 miles for £20 is CRAP!! arghhhhhhhh im seriously annoyed... as you can prob tell lol

thanks for all the responses.. good to get a view of what you guys think.. i have the standard 5 spoke 17's howevere mine are pretty bad and do need aq refurb.. im debating whether i should get them refurbed or get a new set..maybe Aeros in 17's hmm

First measure your mpg accurately tank brim to tank brim against the odometer. If this still works out poor, reset ECU. Changing the air filter can make a significant difference if it is well clogged, but the oil etc is not going to make a huge difference. The IS 200 was designed over 11 years ago, and the ECU etc gave the best compromise of performance, driveabilty, emissions and longevity that could be achieved with the technology of the times - which looks a bit poor now. Also remember that 6-cylinder engines are inherently silky smooth but have higher friction from the two extra bores than a 4-cylinder engine so will always be less economical. From my experience over an average 20 mpg should be easily achievable and over 30 mpg is virtually impossible. thank you

yep guys i think what i do get is deff lower than the rest of you.. even Auto drivers I recently had NRG lazer iridium spark plugs changed.. as well as the engine oil (5w30 semi synth) and rear diff oil.. Is it recommended that i: 1) Get ECU reset? 2) Change air filter? 3) will switching to FULLY SYNTHETIC oil help MPG? 4) Any other tips? appreciate your help fellas :-) Izzy

hi Lexynik, thanks for the info so far :-) would this slick50 work on in a car with semi synthetic oil... i believe mine has 5w30 semi synthetic Castrol. cheers, Izzy

so Mattc .. is that 2 separate items or one? do you know if Halfords still selling it?

Hi Guys, I know the is200 is not the best on petrol...but i seem to only be getting 70 miles for every £20 that i put in... is this normal? i mean i dont normnally calculate the whole MPG etc etc.. ive always just put £20 in and judged from that.. and i think 70 miles is a lil ******* ... am i right or is this normal for everyone else. ps. this is local non motorway driving and driving as smooth as possible.. changing gears at like 2500 revs..... no heavy footing. let me know your thoughts guys, cheers Izzy

hi all, Just out of interest what is everyones preferred Alloys for the is200..? standard or non standard? also are there any deepdish alloys available for the is200? i'm thinking of possibly changing my alloys in the summer :-) thanks Izzy

hi guys, over the last week or so i have been looking for a Bike rack for my car... been to halfords.. unfortunatley the only one they have does not look so secure when on.. and is full of straps. Does anyone have a bike rack for the saloon is200? if so.. any recommendations on where i can get one from.. and input on how complicated it is to setup.. (i would only use to drive to detination with bike and then return. so would need to take off and on ...on a regular basis) any other advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. Izzy

Hi All, Need to order from Opie Oils- was just wondering if there was an additional promotional code apart from the standard member discount? thanks in adv Izzy

well tbh i just moved into my new home... spent fortune on beds, wardobes, sofas, decorating the whole place and now must count my pennies :-( ive bought one today from scrappys..tested it..looks good....fingers crossed. thanks

Ok thanks Kam... as always your advise is appreciated :-) just out of interest when im checking the pistons.. shoudl they move quite freely... or should be fairly stiff? sorry i have no idea... dont want to go ahead and buy replacement and then it also be faulty :-S thanks Kam

Sweet!! good work... i think the spoiler makes the is200 look much better. maybe worth looking at getting the horns (i think thats what they are) behind the sport grill removed... to make it look even better. All the best! Izzy

Guys, can anyone recommend where i can purchase some competitively priced front discs for my is200 sport? also whether its recommended to get Genuine? or can i get away with non genuine? thanks in advance Izzy

Morning all, can anyone please highlight for me whether a Calipher from a V reg is200 would fit on a 2002 is200? your help is greatly appreciated. ta izzy
