    Sorted! For future reference to any other owners with this problem carry out a soft or a hard reset on the iphone and this will solve it.

    Recently, in the last week the SEEK/TRACK button has decided to stop working when my iphone is plugged in. The button itself works fine when the headunit is in radio or cd changer modes just not in the GROM mode. The numbers cycle up on the display but the track doesnt change. What do you reckon? Time for a new unit?

    I keep seeing a yellow one inLeigham near the Asda in Plymouth is that yours ?? Depends when you've seen it? I've been around up there a few times recently. Could be me.

    Had a little look underneath after work and found the 2 mounting points closest to the centre of the car had rusted out around the nuts of the back box heat shield. Couple of washers later I should hopefully be rattle free. Then it's just the 30mph whistle to sort from the front wheels.

    I have a yellow special edition and i was sure i wouldnt see another down here, but no, proved wrong. It appears theres now 2x yellow roses in plymouth. There is a couple of yellow altezzas here, but they dont count!

    Doesnt sound like its under the bonnet or behind the dash. With a window open its very noticeable which leads me to think mid exhaust/ backbox.

    Over the last couple of days my 03 sport has developed a strange metallic rattle. It only happens when the car has warmed up and is under load I.e travelling up hill. I'm thinking a heat shield of some kind but revving the car at a standstill and shaking the exhaust, didn't produce the fault again. Any ideas?

    Looks great! Nice to know that low mileage IS's still command decent money as i paid a similar price as you for an 03 yellow rose sport with 58000.

    How can I get rid of the gallery/news banner that pops up as it just lingers in the middle of the screen and is slow to move on my ipad.

    Ive just installed a grom in my IS and all works perfectly, The query I have is in regards to the track time function. In 'simple' mode it states in the manual that the track time will simply read 0.00, that's fine. In 'advanced' mode it says it should display the track time, but mine still reads 0.00. Picky I know and unnecessary but just wondered if anyone else has this with there's? It's a V2 pre- Bluetooth model if that makes any difference.

    You won't need wheel alignment done unless you have uneven wear on your current tyres. Wheel balancing should cost no more that £30-40 really as it doesn't take long to do.
  13. Brucie0000
    No buddy, the wheels don't need to be on the car. It's done on a machine calibrated for the specific offset and width of each wheel and balances them that way. The tyre fitter/mechanic will then fit the weights accordingly.

    Ive recently bought a maxi cosi easyfix base and cabriofix seat combo for my 03 IS. It fits fine but the problem I have is when pushed back against the seat, the base really pushes into the leather quite badly on the inside fixing near the arm rest. Anyone know how I can limit the damage?
  15. Brucie0000
    Well, I had a look on eBay and found the same kit you have brand new for £130 delivered so I'm not sure any offer I make would be suitable, what were you looking for?
  16. Brucie0000
    Im hoping someone may have a grom (preferably) or another brand iPod interface for an 03 plate is200? Thanks, Dave

    Nice to see another Plymouth owner! I've not had dealings with marsh lexus myself either so can't possibly comment, nor can I comment on what they are like to work for either. Look out for a 'yellow rose' on your travels, that will be me!

    I have a fairly short list too, 96 Vauxhall Corsa SRi 16v 98 Rover Coupe VVC 96 Mitsubishi Mirage Cyborg ZR 97 Honda Civic EK9 Type R 01 Mitsubishi Colt (FTO V6 Mivec engine conversion, epic noise!) 03 Lexus IS200 Sport (wife is pregnant, needed a bigger car, love it!

    I knew about the styling kit but didn't mention it in the post. I was also wondering about resale value, are these desirable or not? Looking around the forum Ive seen a few, with owners who are very enthusiastic and obviously love the colour. But, when they wanted a change, could they sell it?
  20. Brucie0000
    I'm aware that the 'yellow rose' is no different to a standard sport, but do they generally command a little more than the others due to their limited numbers and colour?
  21. Brucie0000
    Didnt see that, Thanks very much.
  22. Brucie0000
    Hi I'm Dave and am going to look at an IS200 sport tomorrow. Any major things to look out for on an 03 model? I've looked around the forum and seen a few things mentioned like clutch judder, poor gearboxes etc. Out of interest kind of value would you place on a low mileage yellow rose special edition?
