It clunky, it's the way it's made. Design flaw - probably not. Box is made to a cost and an acceptable level of performance. Toyota decided to use the gearbox, they must have tested it before buying. My Supra gearbox was much much worse on a car costing twice as much as the IS200. Design issues don't have to be fixed by a manufacturer, a fault has to be fixed if within the warranty period.

That is the one that most people have been talking about in the last few weeks. Not sure if anybody has one fitted yet but yes it should do the job very well. It cannot be directly connected to the cars power supply as it needs something like a 9V supply so you will need some kind of voltage regulator.

If the servicing has been at the correct 10,000 mile intervals then a 130,000 mile service is only a minor one and should only cost £150 max. unless there is extra work that needs doing (e.g. brake pads etc.)

Have a look here: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/knowledge...ex_v2&id=41&c=5 At that mileage take a good look at the suspension/shocks/wheel bearings and any oil leaks from the engine/gearbox/diff

Well RGB is not an encoded signal so it's neither PAL or NTSC. However the screen only seems to sync at NTSC frequencies so you would normally convert an NTSC signal into RGB to drive the screen. You will probably find a PAL 60 signal will convert and sync correctly.

A set of front sport scuffs went for £67 on ebay the other day. Illuminated scuffs are about £220!

did it go through an SVA?
-
craig, can you not get a lift from somebody? -
I would take off the convertor and see if the speedo is still showing under in Km/h. This will tell you if the problem is the speedo or the convertor. You cannot calibrate the speedos. They are electronic and sealed. The only thing you can do is modify the speed signal going to it (which is what the convertor is doing.)
-
Yes but who is going to check? MOT will just check they are aligned correctly. An SVA would pick it up though so watch out if you are importing.

Wonder what the sample numbers were. Not many Mazda 6 or S2000 are sold.

Dec 1995 - Dec 1997 the GS300 has the TVSS IIIB Cat 1 approved alarm.

Steve has a different alarm on his car.

you had albums01 in the URL instead of album01. Also you linked the thumbnails rather than the main image. e.g lexi2.thumb.jpg rather than lexi2.jpg

You still have a choice, you can install Netscrape if you want a rubbish product. Browsers and media players are now a major part of a computer and should be included. Why should I have to install loads of different apps to get a usable system, at the moment I install Windows and its all there. -
That could be a problem. Not on an IS200 as the speedo is designed to read over but the odometer is more accurate.

Links corrected.
