wow! just ran out to the car to get the cd, £119! my oh my! I have Ver. 3.7. release 03-04. Does anyone know what version they have?

http://www.lexus-mapupdates.eu/ that page any use to me?

nah it goes away when the car heats up to the normal temperature, middle of the temp gauge. So pretty confident its just the cold. i started the engine in the driveway this morning and as expected, the light came on but when i came back to it when the temp had gone to the middle of the gauge the light had gone off:) so hppy with that. But il be giving it an oil change next week sometime. For future reference what would you call that temperature that the car is after it heat up properly. (middle of the gauge) Thanks

Looking to get rid of some of the worn bits in the is200. Im looking for a leather steering wheel without the airbag. The gear knob. Front driver side fog light. I would buy the three of those if there in good condition and the price is right:D Let me know through this post or pm! Thanks

When i was driving back up to Scotland from England i noticed that the sat nav tried to take me up by Stoke :S now i dont know why its doing that, but its there anyway to update the sat nav? Thanks

yea i only joined the other day, and been given a helping hand already! haha that sounds dirty! ;) will look forward to getting myself to some meets and finding more and more out about the lex. Thanks for the info buddy!

nice one:D

Brilliant mate! thanks a lot! Am i able to fit this, then go about doing that thing where the windows close up if left open upon the turning off of the engine?

tbh with you mate i dont know what oil is in it, didnt feel that was something i should ask. I was planning on changing the oil anyway so is 5-40 a thinner oil? If i were to use my unit and put in the amp bypass lead does that mean i lose out on the amp powering the speakers? Its just the use of the word 'bypass' makes me think it becomes obsolete.

You think so?:( it died right infront of me!? boo! Well i have a single din dvd player unit i could use, but what else could i put in the other din? Is it even possible? Plus i love the sounds quality that come from the speakers? Will i lose that if i by-pass this amp people talk about when referring to the standard speaker system? On a more important note, what do people think about the oil pressure carry on!? Thanks guys :)

cheers for the replys guys! im from a north ayrshire, just in a lil town. Yea i went down to see the car and fell in love lol! tried my hardest not to show that i loved it soon as i saw it( gay i know lol!) but had a good look round it, reali good nick apart from a lil bit of paint flaking on the rear bumper and the spare was a bit close to the limit. brought my bassline 3cd album to try out the stereo and boy was i surprised by the quality from it.Everything works perfectly, heated seats, mirrors, windows so happy days:) took the car to kwik fit with the seller, had the brakes looked over as well as the tyres. All is well :D so i wake up in the morning and switch the engine on, and the oil pressure light comes on. Now i have a fairly decent knowledge of cars. Am i right in saying this is due to the oil being very thick-due to the coldness-and not flowing as quick as normal and therefore making the car think the pressure is too low? I phoned a lexus dealer and asked about it, but when i called i gave my thoughts as above and im a bit worried incase the was just agreeing with me as not to look like an idiot. Or infact he was telling the truth and i have nothing to worry about as after leaving the car idle til its reaches the midway pount on the temp gauge a lil drive the light goes off. Would a resolution to the problem be getting a thinner oil?! Wow this is turning out to be a long post, but i have more... After a few hours driving and listening to the cds. i turn it off as i get a call on my mobile, after the call i switch it back on but the cd player fails to read the cd! That was yesterday and its still not reading cds!. Theres not much point in questioning the seller, as he showed me the cd player working with all 6discs in. I thought that maybe it was the cold weather effecting it, but i had the heating on full for a good while and nothing has changed:( Someone please help me:(

i know it a bit of an old thread. But could someone post the link to a recent, or a biddable (is that a word? ha!) item on ebay at the moment!?

just found this link for the examining of the belt. http://www.bahamutcars.com/workshop/IS_98-...e/m_em_0018.pdf But id still like to know if people think this is worth the buy? Im thinking im getting a lot fo car for my money?...

How you doing guys? Im new here, going to look at a lexus is200 tomorrow and after looking through the forum i know what to look for. but my question just now is am i getting a good deal for my money. Its a 1999 V plate navigator sport model. 125k miles done. 5months tax, 8months mot. Its been 30k miles since the cambelt and waterpump were changed. and 5months since its last service. The standard alloys have no corrosion. Leather/alacantra interior is flawless. All electrics work perfectly. For £2300, what do you guys think? Also, i want to check the state of the cambelt, is it just a matter of a couple of 10mm bolts to take the cover off? The cambelt sits at the front of the engine bay? (closest to you if your standing infront of the car, facing the windscreen? Thanks guys Mo
