LexIS200Sport

Congratulations on your purchase, she looks amazing! An absolute steal for that price, I'm jealous!! :P

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I am trying to perform a similar conversion on my IS200. I managed to get hold of the indicator/wiper stalk assembly from an Altezza, as shown in the picture below: I was wondering if I could just detach the indicator and wiper stalk modules and swap them over, or would I also have to use the Altezza's centre "mounting frame" as well? The indicator and wiper stalk modules are just held by two screws onto the mounting frame, as shown below: Reusing the existing mounting frame on my car means that I won't have to remove the steering wheel, and thus makes the conversion a lot more straight-forward. So the question is, do I have to use the Altezza's mounting frame or can I just slot the new stalk modules into my existing frame? Any advice is very much appreciated, and thank you for your time!

Rear wheel bearing possibly on its way out?

mine too...

I had the 10-year service package done on my car by Lexus in Wolverhampton. Cost me about £260. From memory, the service replaced the following fluids: - Engine oil - Brake fluid - Coolant - Gearbox & Diff oil - Air filter & oil filter - and a few other bits and pieces I was greeted by a lady in the service reception called Madeline I think? She quoted me that price.

I had an IS250 on loan for a day, and the bluetooth connectivity in that car wouldn't pair with my Nokia E71 either. I'm interested to see what others' comments are... maybe an issue with Nokia phones in particular?

Hey peeps, apologies for the very basic question... As far as I'm aware, the IS200 has a twin-cam (DOHC) engine, as mention here and several other sources. However, I was looking at the cambelt replacement walk-through and noticed that there was only a single sprocket for the camshaft? I'm new to Toyota engines, but I clearly remember that my Nissan RB20DET motor, which is also a 2-litre DOHC inline-6 unit, has two cambelt sprockets for its twin-camshafts, instead of one. Could anyone explain to me how does this work in our engines?

The link below is for the climate control panel but the principles should still apply for the stereo: http://my.is/forums/f90/how-change-climate-control-center-console-leds-pics-360155/ If that doesn't help do a search, I'm sure someone did a write-up about it...

You can remove the top cover on the front of the engine and check for yourself the state of your timing belt. If it is thin, replace it.

What about the lock barrel on the boot lid? Would it be easy to swap that over?

Wow that's interesting! I did a Milton Keynes - Edinburgh run over the long weekend holidays. Part M1/M6 steady-speed motorway driving and part spirited A7 twisty road stuff. 64 litres took me 460 miles in my IS200 Sport.

that's awesome! I was thinking of organising a similar road trip too. What was your average fuel consumption like if you don't mind me asking?

Didn't know about that either, and yes it does appear to be a waste of energy considering how hot they get... <_< Carles, have a look at the following thread, it may not be possible to change the heater switch easily: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=54723&view=findpost&p=600523

cheers, thanks :)

Hi all, I was poking around the engine bay and noticed this peculiar tube that appears to run from the radiator to the engine electronics? Can anyone advice what is it for? Thanks for your time!

Thanks! :)

Hello everyone! I recently picked-up an IS200 Sport, and I thought what would be a better way to introduce myself than to post pics of my new possession! So here it goes: :) I chose the IS200 Sport because spec-wise it reminded me a lot of my old Nissan Skyline GT back home in Australia. I must say that I am very pleased with the overall quality of the IS200 after driving it for the last couple of days! Just one question, would anyone know if it is possible to swap the indicator and wiper stalks around? The reason I ask is because pretty much every car back home have the indicator stalk on the right side, and this is the arrangement that I am more familiar with :) cheers all! Ganesh
