  1. Thanks Matt and Ian. I have spoken to Andy but he's all the way in Poole and suggested I get in touch with my local dealer which is in Woodford, Essex. eBay have loads but some most of them don't specify which model the emblem is for. I have contacted woodford twice and on both occasions been put through to their parts dept but all I get is their answerphone. Left 2 msgs just before noon and yet nobody has got back to me :megaangry:

  2. This happened to me last week and i have the original windscreen, with Japan at the top of the screen.

    I discovered the rubber, at the drivers side bottom corner, had perished, bits had come away and their was a lot of cr4p gathered under the rubber moulding. I did excactly what true blue said, then bought some windscreen bonding stuff from Halfrauds, cleaned out all the gung, and sealed the area that had perished..

    Iv'e had the car washed and it's been pouring down since, and it's still ok.

    Joneb- i'm not very mechanically minded but this is NOT hard to do mate. Just take your time. You only need to take off the cover that surrounds your fuse box There are 3 screws under the steering column which takes the under cover off, then where your accelerator pedal is, their is a big plastic bolt that should just screw off by hand. Once you start, you'll see how to get it off. It may not seem wet or damp but this is defo your problem. Just disconnect each connector and give them a wipe, i got into them with cotton buds, then get the hair dryer onto them. JUST DO IT MATE you'll be fine.

    Dont forget to check round about your screen to see where the water is coming in, if you dont see to this then it will just keep happening.

    Hope this helps and good luck.

    Thank you all for your posts, I managed to remove the fuse box cover near the pedal, didn't see any moisture, refitted the cover, the problem has not happened for 5 days now (been driving it every day since the 1st occurence). I will get the hair dryer out this weekend and give it a go. Will let you know how I get on.

  3. I appear to have the same problem. I have an is200 and the lights are fine when the engine is running. However when I turn off the ignition, the lights come on and stay on. I always leave the switch on auto. Turning the switch to the off position does not solve the problem. I have read the solution posted here but don't have a clue when you talk about removing panels and possibly refitting the screen. This problem only started 24 hours ago. I was called out at work this afternoon because my alarm was going off. By the time I got there the Battery was flat. I also noticed that every time I park up, there is a rubbery smell coming from the driver's side. Please help!

    PS: pics will help as I'm a complete novice when it comes to car electrics.
