  1. A mate from the Celica-Club told me about this ......

    "Some Halfords stores are now stocking some of the Meguiars range. It appears they have made a *****-up with the pricing and the NXT Tech-Wax is currently on sale @ £8.99 instead of £14.99.

    Hurry before they realise....................

    Don't buy the NXT Tech-Protectant though - thats priced @£14.99 instead of £8.99 !"

    :winky:

  2. I have tryed almost anything.

    But its still bad espesially after washing the car.

    I removed the black gasket round one of the main bulbs to get more air flow.

    Have not had any condensation after that.

    But put it on when you wash the engine.

    I am shure the headlamps are to "closed"(I dont know the word).To little air flow.

    I wonder if the newer headlamps are similar to the one that came first?

    Anyone have compaired them?

    Sorry for my bad english.

    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: .

  3. 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 :)

  4. 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 :)

  5. 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....
