How difficult would it be to replace the standard dipping rear view mirror with one of the photochromic versions fitted to some Lexus 200/300 models ? Is the wiring in place and therefore just a matter of changing the hardware ?

Hi I haven't been there for ages - got a bit bored. This Lex certainly beats the old C5 into touch, no rattles and the whole thing feels a lot tighter :) I've got it all cleaned up (to my standard) and my first real journey will be tomorrow (Monday 12th) and they have forecast heavy gales and a storm - typical :( The only cleaning problem I have found is trying to get behind the rear speakers and high level brake light - any tips ?

The polished stainless tip at first glance looks like chrome anyway - I doubt you will need any cover :)

Guildford, although I can't fault the whole buying experience. Those pressures were probably just an oversight, I checked them after the car had stood overnight so they were all definately 'cold'.

Morning chaps :) Photo's added - and yes it's fine thanks. Need to get used to the slightly harder suspension than the Citroen which I expected and the throttle pedal is very sensitive but apart from that its just the job. Checked all the tyre pressures this morning and they were : Rear Nearside - 36 Front Nearside - 41 Front Offside - 35 Rear Offside - 33 Hmmm............ (Fairly accurate digital gauge) I have set them all to 34 - is that OK ?

I have been watching the topics recently with interest without having the goods. Finally at 12:00 today I pick up my IS200 SE and get rid of my ugly 2 year old Citroen C5 3.0i V6. At last ! :D

Is there a list somewhere of those who do/don't ? Twickers is my nearest and I gather they don't from an above post - Guildford ?

Hi I've been burning my own CDR's for many years now and from my experience the better makes are the ones to use : Sony TDK HP Imation Verbatim Kodak's can be temperamental but may work OK - use the latest Silver/Gold and not the Gold only variety. Avoid like the plague : Lead Data Traxdata (IMHO) Labels : Some time ago there was an in depth report and the ones that came out top were HP and Neato which both use the same glue which does not damage the CDR surface. Neither of these labels peeled at the edges under the extreme temperature and usage tests that were carried out. As HP labels are now not available I have been using Neato labels for ages and they have perfromed as expected. Another tip is to slow down the burn onto the CDR - When I had my old HP8100i burner I had to burn the CDR at 1x otherwise it would not play in the car. With my newer Plextor burner I have yet to burn at any speed that the car cannot play. HTH
