athanks everyone for the advice

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to getting cheaper car insurance for my is200.

Nice one pal will have a look and we are in mansfield.

thanks for that.

Nice one, had the thermostat out tested it in a jug of boiling water and it did'nt move at all so i know thats gone just the rad to source now, is there anywhere to buy lexus parts at lower prices also how do i check to see if the water pump is working as it should.

Thanks will check, radiator is now off and looking for a new or second hand one

My radiator has gone on my 99 is200 sport has anyone got one for sale or know of a cheap place to buy one, none of the breakers in my area have one,

*pump lol*

Thanks for that, going to get it stripped down, is it normal for it to pressurise and blow out of the rad though or should i be looking at the water pumo too.

Bled the air out o the system this morning and the fan kicked into life, took it a spin round the villiage got back home with steam yet again coming from the bonnet, it looks like my rad is leaking on the seam below the rad cap, is this because the cap is faulty or is my rad shot at,

thanks for the replies, its really overheating (blowing steam from just under the rad cap). checked water level in the rad it looks full, top hose and bottom hose both hot, will try running it with the cap of to expell any air locks in the morning, p.s should it blow steam from just under the rad cap ? and thanks

Hi, i have a is200 and its started overheating at slow speed, ive noticed neither of the fans are kicking in even with the ac on, all the fuses seem to be ok, also when its overheating the heaters start blowing cold has anyone got any ideas what this could be.
