can anyone tell me how to remove all the seats as i am about to do the sound deadening.. any help would be much appreciate... :) :) :)

front seat's are simple enough, you have 2 bolt's at the front & 2 at the back. once they are off, before you pull out the seat's, make sure you unclip from under the seat the airbag & heated seat connector's.

for the rear seat's, have a look here.................

hi people, long time :duh:

my rear driver's side door doesn't want to open unless i press the unlock button & pull the lever immediately !

it's been like that for a few month's now, about 7ish actually

not had time to sort it, just got round to it but can't seem to get passed the inner door lever & tray.

i'v removed the 2 screw's, 1 located on the door card where you pull the door closed & the other behind the inside lever.

yanked out the door card, just stuck at how to remove the tray around the lever.

does it slide off ??

can anyone help

cheers

so i gather my is200 sport on a W reg 2000 is not an NON interference engine.

how would i tell, anyone know ??

sorry to hear this....thought the 1g-fe was non interferance tho

It IS an interferance engine ..............

so what i mean to say is , it's NOT a non interference engine ............

i'm lost here

what is this all about

the mileage is on 91,000 on a 2000 W plate

hadn't been to hatfield galleria for a while so i thought of taking a drive down there yesterday evening.

got on the A1(M) hitchin/stevenage junction, sped up to 70mph, suddenly 1 mile before junction 7 (stevenage), snap whizzzzzzzzzzz, car conked out

rolled over to the hard shoulder to have a look, had a mate with me who was a mechanic who had a quick look & told me the cam belt seemed to have snapped

& looking at the speed he reckons it may have damaged the engine

nothing like that.

i have connected from the cigarette lighter, the positive to act as a remote on & off power supply to my wireless devices.

& since i have relocated the heater dials into the glove compartment, the 2 plugs which are connected to this unit have been extended about 12inches.

this 4-in-1 has me BAFFLED

about 2 weeks ago noticed that everytime i close any of the 4 doors on my is200, there would be clunk clunk kind of noise heard from the boot (nearside). now i know there is the alarm module there, so thought nothing of it

on saturday night locked the doors via the keyfob & the indicators did not flash the once, pressed the button a 2nd time & they flashed 5 times, unlocked the doors again with the keyfob & got 2 flashes. just the 1st lock with the 1 flash not working. the next evening it was back to normal

yesterday the keyfob would not lock the doors or open the boot, with either of the keys. locks would also not function via the button on the drivers door. changed the batteries, still no good

suddenly the locking via the door switch worked & then didn't

then while this wasn't enough, realised that the interior light when set to door, would not light up when the doors are opened without the keys in the ignition, the auto headlights would not go off when the drivers door was opened

really getting annoyed with the lexus now :tsktsk: :tsktsk:

did a search on the forum relating to central locking problem, but unfortunately did not come across anything that could help me resolve this weird 4-in-1 problem

checked the fuses, changed the batteries in the keyfobs, disconnected the car Battery, still no good

i did however remove the heater dial unit & relocate it in the glove box, as i put my 7" touchscreen above the stereo unit & attached it to my wireless laptop, & not forgetting the usb hub hidden behind the glove compartment with an fm modulator hidden behind the headunit :winky:

disconnected all this & still no luck

removed it from the car, still no good :shutit:

any suggestions

Sounds great, I will give it a try. IF you cd unit fails again after this repair, please let us know.

trinilex..............

so far so good, touch wood :winky:

changed cd's too.

CHEERS FOR PUTTING UP THE PICTURES ACRO & FLUFF34567

:winky: :winky: :winky:

what cover do you mean when you say front ??

the headunit takes 5-10 minutes to remove from the dash & the removal of rear casing for the cd player including the repair i did, would take also about 10 minutes.

i can't seem to put any pictures up here !!

sorry for the duplicate thread, haven't been here for a while

had enough of my cd player last week, it came up with the ERR3 message again.

i needed an excuse to start on my carputer !!

took the headunit out & decided to poke the screwdriver at it in anger.

so took the rearcover off & noticed that the cd's where stuck diagnaly.

there's 2 white wheel's at the top that move the cd's up & down.

manully rotated the right spindle & the higher part of the cd's started to go down.

when they were all back down to the bottom, plugged in the power & hey presto, we have music

heres a picture to give you an idea................

A = cover hook (after removing the screw's, you will have to give a good hard tug to pull the cover free).

B = 1 0f the 2 wheel's that will adjust the cd's up or down.

C = this thick yellow line is how the cd's were stuck.

D = the thin yellow area is where they a re supposed to be.

by the way, my headunit is from a W reg 2000 model with the cassette deck on top & the cd below.

good luck ;)

IIRC the DVD and CD versions use different connectors, I have also read that someone managed to get the dvd rom to work with the 4:3 screen used on the CD version and not all the screen was visible, so it was a wasted effort. there was a post on here a few months ago about using a cdrom unit from a toyota from ebay that was a direct swap and very cheap too

cheer's for your replies peeps :winky:

i have an is 200 sport on a W registration.

it has the old cd rom sat nav cd player in the boot.

can i simply remove this & replace it with the new dvd rom drive

And here's another (mine). This is the 2002 DVD which has a lot more info on it.

it happens

yep, you can lock/unlock all door's via the key fob or switch, on the driver door panel.

but if you try from the actual door lever, it will only open that particular door, not any other's.

seems like my cd is knackered.

it works near enough everywhere but when i put in a manchester address or bolton (lancashire), it freezes & the message pops up that the cd rom is unreadable :o

i bet last time i went there, coincidently both places at that time, my lex didn't like it the place

likes to stay down sunny south :winky:

what kind of cleaner is best to use on the disc

i jnow there are a few white spots on the cd & they seem to be stuck on pretty solid

also the error message that come's up, when it say's CD ROM, does that not mean tha there is something wrong with th actual player

what's happening people

been away for a while & just returned to find my sat nav not working :o

it was working on saturday, but yesterday went weird

i keep on getting the message CD ROM unreadable, open door & check CD ROM

took the cd out & tried putting a cd cleaner in, disconnected all the cables from the cd rom & even disconnected the Battery, but no luck

anyone come across this before

any ideas

i got the same problem with my is 200.

yesterday went shopping & then for a 40 minute cruise, came back, mate borrowed it 1/2 an hour later, he came back, hour later i went back out and guess what ??

it wouldn't start

jump started it with a booster, & fired up again

weird, that aleays happens at least once a month :tsktsk:
