Should be one out there somewhere i've just fitted a centre section to Cat gasket. And a Vauxall Vectra part fitted the the middle to backbox.

That was from a place called SAF (Sutton Auto Factors) based in the Midlands however.

wont have a pic until tomorrow when i start fitting my kit but where is the best for buying an aftermarket grill like they grey or blue car above ?? which look class by the way

must be hard driving the blue one being that low

I've just brought one of eBay, there a genuine Lexus Part too, from Japan by the looks of the instuctions.

Can pull the item No or eBay seller if you li

Have you tried sealing them with silicone ?

Check your cambelt, i checked mine 12000 before it was due and what i found was shocking, chewed on the outer edge would be one way to put it.

Hi and welcome from Nottingham, i like the wheel colour looks a little like gun metal grey. The colour mine will be going once i get round to it.

Has anyone done a custom cold air pipe straight into the thottle body. Got the idea from a pipe that someone was selling on eBay, may have been a Prolex one but unsure. Was thinking I could do the same but with Alloy or stainless steel.

Thoughts and pics if anyone has them would be much appreciated.

Hi steve, are you Ripley way then ? Ben I used to go there every weekend but then my daughter came along and more or less put a stop to that. I'm either at work, at the missis or have my daughter these days. But it would be good to meet up.

Also noticed I need the clip that is under the bonnet lid that holds the stay up to the bonnet so you can shut the bonnet. It's a right pain without it!

I have this problem at the min as I brought my car with this problem. But as a temporary fix, just loop a cable tie around the back of it and it'll support your stay.

Wow, for a notoriously reliable car, they seem to have their fair share of common problems... I'm beginning to wonder what i've brought into.... :-/ Eeeeep. My IS200 has 92k on the clock and the cambelt is due in 8K or before as is a full service which was last done last april. I need to magic some money out of my a*se and fast by the sounds of it...

Not sure if my cambelt is an isolated problem or not, but this is what i was faced with after removing the top cambelt cover. The belt wasn't due for changing for another 12k. Needless to say it got changed it.

Reg is NY51 ARF, pick a few people up from Eastwood for work sometimes in the works van, have to in the morning as it happens. As for the belt, i thought the same too. Thing is i did around 500 miles on that belt. But the worst of it was when i took my daughter and the missis 2 kids to Skeggy for the day. I'd of been scewed if it snapped on the way home as we didn't get back until midnight, would of been an utter nightmare for us all.

Hi mate welcome to the club. Good to see another nottinghamshire lad on here, they seem in short supply. Whats up with the car then?

Hi ben, the cambelt was chewed on the very end, end closest to the slam panal. Balljionts can click a little now and then, a common fault from what I gather.

And i'm in Nuthall just of Junc 26 of the M1

Hi just brought my 1st IS200 after liking them since 2002. Have a IS200 sport in black, that isn't short on problems.

Seems a well put together forum.

Thanks Arron

I love my lexus. she has a name its lexi. Anyone else name their cars?

My missis has nicknamed mine Lexi the Lexus, I do hope were not going to fall out, this is my 1st post lol
