Rain

The link between washing the car and the condensation is ,the water running down the wing gutter, over the indicator bulb area. The water also runs over the headlight adjust and below that is a breather flap with a small piece of foam inside, my guess is the water is getting in around the breather flap.....but ofter taking my lamp our several time, with no luck , i bought a new one...now its fixed :winky: .

The Goodyear snow tyre does in fact ,come out well in dry and wet weathers testing, the only down side could be road noise ;) could sound like an army Landrover .

See this thread.... http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...showtopic=20201

First off ,swap the rear wheels to the front and re-road test, if its better its going to be either wheel balance or damaged tyre. Do you get the vibration throught the steering wheel, when your NOT braking ? If you only get the vibration through the steering wheel when braking, it could be a problem with the discs not seated correctly on the hubs or distorted hubs. If you only get the vibration when braking through the brake pedel and NOT the steering wheel , could be distorted rear discs. If you find yourself with no sanswers ,ask your local MOT testing station to put your car on their brake rollers ,they should be able to tell you which brake disc is distorted :)

Welcome to the club sir, hope you enjoy the site :)

The Bosch battery does have the posts at the front ( not at the back like the Lexus one ), when i fitted mine the black lead had enough slack, and the Red lead needed the cable clip releasing at the back of the bulkhead, i thought this might be a problem, but once the cable is fitted on the battery, it doesn't rub on anything. If your still not happy had a few cable ties as needed :)

It seems with the right tyres , you can get from A to B is your is200 :) , i was looking on the Mytyres site at tyre prices, if your running 215/45/17 then the cheapest snow tyre is a Goodyear at £124.50 each :o , so thats a very expensive 1-2 months a year use. I then looked up the IS200S, 16" wheel tyre size and a 205/55/16 can be bought for £56.00, so a cheap set of " S" wheels of Ebay ,and the cheap tyres,could be all sorted for £300 or less :) Very nice, the "Stunner" £56.00 winter tyre.... 215/45/17 Goodyear £124.00 winter tyre...

If the battery is stone dead, it may not take a charge ;) , so sorry to say ,it could be time for a new one ;) . See this thread........ http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...boshch++battery

If your going to leave you car for that length of time again, and you have power to the garage ,get a trickle charger ,should be able to find one on Ebay :)

If your car is no longer under warrenty, then its spend-up time , i had two goes at fixing the condensation in my N/S lamp, in the end i bought a new one, using the clubs gold discount, cost me about £85.00......retail £125. ish :)
