  1. fuel is not too bad. I would say 22mpg in town and 30mpg on a run. Depreciation is the biggest problem.
  2. I think that is correct, it is the pillowball uppermount. Tein describe the CS as having 'A hard rubber upper mount is used for noise proofing' and as the Flex doesn't have this.......
  3. Not sure what way we should take that ;)
  4. Obviously this is to supply replacement discs for your already licensed software otherwise it would be illegal.
  5. May just be something a bit loose, but could be a strut or ball joint
  6. I hardly ever see one on the road. Not as rare as a sportscross. I see one of those every 6 months!
  7. Those were the changes that came out at the end of 2003 as the 2004 model.
  8. Indeed full leather is not the best choice however europeans seem to have an obsession with it and therefore it is much easier to sell you car if you have it.
  9. Bridestone has new runflats - were they them? If they are like the ones fitted to the SC430 then there are not worth it - their ride quality is very poor.
  10. Full results here: http://www.whatcar.com/News_SpecialReport....0&EL_ID=3060973
  11. Finding a 10" sport wheel is difficult. Finding a round one is even more so. You could always buy a new one from Lexus / TTE.
  12. The IS300 is a much nicer drive. Why not get a 1 year old 300 which will be about the same money as a 200?
  13. Pinouts have been on LOC for a number of weeks now: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/knowledge...ex_v2&id=76&c=9
  14. Save yourself £500 and fit an aftermarket parking aid. Yes the latest IS comes with the 11 spoke wheels
  15. Should be alright with the SS as they do not use the pillowball uppermount which I think is the cause of the noise.
  16. http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread...ight=tein+noise
  17. But your diesel doesn't put out 280bhp. If you want to know more information then look at the Mark 2 Toyota Prius, it shares the technology.
  18. Found some pics. The car isn't a sport so it looks at bit high. http://www.lexusownersclub.com/gallery/album02?page=10
  19. The Flex models at least. I believe the CS ones are fine.
  20. The series II wheels are 18x8 I believe the series I wheels are 18x8.5 Both use 245/40 18 tyres so you can keep your old ones.
  21. I did get a price from Chris last year. Over £300 each and I'm not sure if that is with centre caps (which are £33 each). There are 3 on ebay at the moment (no centre caps) - I have 6 of them so I can let one go but I haven't tested if any of those are buckled.
