My CT is getting close to it's 100k service, what's needed other than the standard full service? I know spark plugs aren't due till 120k, should I be expecting any extra cost at 100k? Cheers, D.

Hi, I've recently become the owner of a 2013 F Sport, I bought it in the UK and imported it into Ireland. I've owned a IS200 for the last 7 years but needed something cheaper to run so decided on a CT200H, have to say I'm loving the car so far. When I got the car home I noticed a plastic panel sitting under the seat, can anyone shed some light on where it belongs? Also, the car has a puncture repair kit rather than a spare wheel, are all models like this, is there an option for a space saver? I also think the repair kit has been used. Another question, the car is nearly due its 90k service, I see that a break fluid change is done every 30k which I though was a bit excessive, is there a reason why the fluid id changed so often?

Is there a trick to getting it off without spilling oil everywhere? I made a mess again

The IS has a 70L tank right? My Altezza's tank is 50L and I usually get 300 miles mixed driving, I'm happy with that.

If you have auto leveling headlights make sure the sensor at the rear passenger side wheel is put back the right way.

Injectors are mechanical, their solenoid valves so they can sound when their opening and closing.

Wonder if this affects the Altezza, mines a 2004 but that site doesn't recognise my VIN.

This is the one I use, does the job

No Haynes manual for the IS200

This one? I'd be willing to sell it at the very reasonable price of just $8888. :winky:

Thats my plan, the car's a Jap import so has no history anyway, I'll do all the servicing myself and through my hand to any other work that needs doing, I plan on keeping the car a good while so don't see the point in paying crazy labour costs to get a service history.

Its petrol, not magic dust. What it will do is governed by RON ratings and BS Nos. You need to get it from somewhere that sells a lot because the forecourt tanks tend to be cleaner, and it is a good idea to stick to the same type which saves the ECU from having to do much adapting. Specialist fuels do genuinely return measurably improved performance/mpg on highly stressed engines but Mr Average is unlikely to be able to detect the long-term difference - and ALL reports show that improvements, particularly in mpg fail to match the extra cost. and with all that said what is your point ?? i have to run atleast 98ron becuse of supercharger and here in sweden V-power 99ron is the same price as 98..not a difficult choice right. Same here in Dublin, I get E5 99ron cheaper than most places selling 98ron, my last fill was 127.8c per liter, the average price in Ireland at the moment is 129.9c

I average about 25mpg running on E5, mostly town driving, and the Altezza only has a 50L tank so I'm filling up allot more often, always get 400km on a full tank.

I had a problem with mine aswell. Mine was down to the sensor on the n/s rear, when my coilovers where installed the sensor was put back the wrong way, it's hard to explain. I have a link to another thread about this on my laptop at home, I'll post it up later.

Just thinking, does adjusting coilovers affect the cars geometry, will I need to get wheel alignment done
