  4. Hi Sorry to bring up this topic again if previously post. Been having trouble when doing reverse parking after long/short drive and there's this strong burning smell under the car. Started last friday when driving my IS200 sport to Worcester. Reverse stop and the smell is strong. Ask few friends, some say it could be bad spark plugs and some say it cud be oil got in the exhaust. Worry what cud possibly wrong. Hope anyone cud help or know how to fix this. thanks

  7. Hi Finally got every install today. Thank you guys for helping me getting the right relay... Just so advised anyone who's going to do this mod... unplug the stereo fuse "20" and "10" (engine and below driver) before doing the wiring or you'll end up looking for it unless u have spare in hands. By the way,my stereo 'L-' was browns instead of black which shown on the diagram.
  8. i haven't had any clue what type of relay installed as i bought at Maplins. what type of relay u reckon i shud be use? i go get another relay next thing tomorrow. thanks

  10. Hi I manage to done the top first part... when i connect the [black/white] and {grey] part... it blew a fuse [lucky i got spare.... without connect those two i'll get buzz sound with the music play from the ipod. what i miss out or did wrong?

  14. Hi Burn media in "wma" format on the media player option. Probably will fit around 11-12 tracks.... if it's can burn more then 20 track then you have select the mp3 mode. Most error shown because the stereo lens need a bit attention. Good luck

  16. Does it really the case which parts the best or maker or it's true because the dealer is pushing their supplier product. I bought a Blue print Clutch kits and it's say from Japan as well. I'm not a specialist that's why we normally listen what the other ppl say Any one here use those " Ceramizer engine restore treatment recondition worn smoke engine oil additive" sell on ebay? wanted to try it true or not.... shud just stick to a good quality engine oil
  17. Totally agree with u there. No Offends ppl but recently i took my is200 sport to Formula1 for cam belt changed and was advised to changed the water pump "as standard" was total under £500.... Amazingly it took them 4 days to figure out what bolt to another as i heard them whisper "did you put the bolt on the side" where the rest of it"... next day when i call they say "received a wrong parts" had to wait for replacement ...late that afternoon... they received the parts BUT the bolt stuck and need to call their "specialist" to check it with "tools" to get the bolt out.... they don't bother as they keep saying "we will call you as soon it's ready"..... early the 4th day i call "oh, it's nearly ready now just need to put tight up everything..... still no call, eventually the car was park out the car park when i arrived. that really worries me and i open up the bonnet and discover the radiator was all loose ...water pump pully cap was missing. engine start without any noise.....i say nothing just pay up and straight to another garage to had it check. lucky there's nothing serious bout it just that the job done was totally s**t.. NEVER EVER GO BACK AGAIN . as for the pully cap ...managed to get one on ebay .... Kwik-fit ... another cowboys as getting a Honda civic exhaust quote and a headlight bulb changed. the guy just stood there looking at me asking "how u set it up?" as he been looking and turning bulb as i stood beside him. You never know what those cowboys did when you not there watching
