Hi people I am looking for some advice on what grade of engine oil is the best for my x plate IS 200 also I am looking to change the gearbox oil aswell any recommendations

Thanks

Just noticed the metal cover that goes over the rear caliper is missing so the rear pads a free to move I think this is the problem,does anyone know where these can be bought itself not a full kit

I had a problem simular to yours. Turned out to be a knackered shock absorber. Replaced it and the noise was gone

My mates a mechanic so will get to have a look I checked for heat shields bein loose but can't find anything loose,how much did the shock cost mate ?

Hi I am gettin a horrible rattle from the rear near side of my is200,I happens when I am driving on flat roads and when I go over bumps,it sounds like it's coming from the wheel somewhere I thought it would have the brake dust cover but it's not,has anyone got any advice as this is so annoying

Thanks

Hi what size of filter is needed for the crankcase breather

Isn't it just bling for bling's sake?

2-3 BHP gain seems to be more trouble than it's worth.

What you MAY gain in freer flowing air is potentially lost by sucking in pre-warmed (and therefore less dense) air from above your nice hot exhaust manifolds.

Plus it's a mod that your insurers would expect you to declare and could even get arsey about in the event of a claim.

I can understand it on a turbo or supercharged car where you're pulling in a lot more air (and you ain't exactly going to hide one of those babies under the standard airbox anyway!), but otherwise surely the K&N insert route is better...? Invisible, cost effective, and slurping in nice dense cold stuff so potentially more bang for your buck.

So you reckon a k&n filter for the air box is better ?

As stevie says thats all you will need. if you search somebody in the past made a custom induction kit. remember to get a Apexi filter as they are good. dont buy a prolex induction kit as its a rip off

Why are the prolex kits a rip off ?

make one yourself it's cheaper and does the same job

How much would it cost to make one and what will I need

Hi I am looking on some advice on which is the best induction kit for a is 200 for noise and also performance
