Well it was MOT time today. I was expecting the worst. But only needs a new passenger bottom ball joint and the front passenger caliper thats sticking on. I'm happy with that for a 10 year old car thats done nearly 165 thousand. My mates on the case and its retest is tomorrow :)

As above you can't compare Honda to Lexus in the volume stakes. There will always be more activity on a Honda forum than on here due to the coverage of the range of cars from Honda compared to Lexus as well.

You can also try linseed oil works a treat and lasts ages

Are you going on loads of track days? If not then no need

You'll need to get a machine polisher on that for best results.

For a car of that age you are going to be looking at least 60,000 miles as a minimum, and that would be acceptable to me with history.

It will come off with a good pull :)

What is your actual question as there are several things in your post. Are you saying your fans don;t work you rad is broken?????? Best way to check fans are wokring is go out in car get up to temp then when you get home leave the car running and wait for the temp to rise and the fans to kick in if they don't switch car off before it gets to hot and find out why they don't come on.

I can get alloys refurbed for £10-20 each wheel at the place I use. But would say £250 is the going rate at most places

Car Not Running Smoothing When Ac On Full
mattc replied to akhlaq768's topic in Lexus IS200 / Lexus IS300 Club
The aircon does put extra strain on the engine as it has an extra pulley to turn so the revs do rise now and again on tickover to cope with this extra requirement -
Yeah my problem was with the rubber seal that sits round the edge of the sunroof
-
have you checked the seal is sitting right. Had a similar problem with mine and it was the rear part of the seal not sitting right so the roof wouldn't shut

Steam coming out the bonnet can be casued by more than just a HG failure. Was the temperature going up before hand? Is there oil in the water or water in the oil (check the oil cap for a foamy white residue)
