yes correct ALL BELOW IS A GUIDE ONLY FOR EXAMPLES OK hope it helps all If you need info p.m me ok happy To help when i can Tyres i love them if you calculate rolling radius to tyre size using the usual formula will be 99.9% same if calculated with accuracy So if you add 1 inch to diam of wheel eg 17 to 18inch add 20mm to tyre width and reduce/subtract aspect ratio by 10% This gives you the calculated rolling radius for accurate readings on speedo and mileage there is a formula for calculations EG running 245-45-17 17inch x 9.5 wheels changing to 18inch wheels based on same width wheel radius is half diam (17)so 8.5inch/215.9mm + side wall 45% in mm is 110.25mm rolling rad is 215.9mm +110.25mm = 326.15mm so 18inch x 9.5 wheel for example 245mm width as 9.5 inch wide (tyre is 245mmwide to start as 9inch rim) radius is 9.5inch/241.3mm half diam so to calculate we need a rolling radius of 326.15mm so aspect ratio must be a % of 325.15mm we need for rolling radius - half wheel diam 241.3mm so rolling required is 325.15mm - 241.3mm half wheel diam = 83.85mm Calculate aspect ration from mm to % of 245 mm wide tyre which is done by 245mm tyre width calculate what % 83.85mm is of the tyre width which is (34.10%) = 35/40% aspect ratio so all in the tyre can be 245-40-18 or 245-35-18 if wheel is wider this is based on 9.5inch/241.3mm wheel change figures for wider wheels on the above formula(or ask) This should keep speedo and mileage accuratly in range for the change :hohoho: ok merry xmaS

thanks for that cc

Have they tried the basic test clamp all flexy pipes to see if that changes the pedal feel then work from there with each one being realised in turn....if it makes the pedal feel better

How does it handle on normal driving and a little harder driving ?? My Front end feels fine as expected when cornering holds no understeer etc BUT rear of mine gives the feel of skipping or a tramping effect rather than an expected feel of holding the road firmly Similar to high tyre pressures(no they ok) CC

My cambelt is due to be replaced as its on 102000miles What is the normal mileage for the belt to be changed at 60K ? Also do i change anything else at same time ? Such as tensioner? water pump? idler pulleys ?? etc thanks CC

No parked next to another Se both v plates 1999 bounce test on other gives a little rebound as you expect mine is very hard very little return had to press harder than the other car to get a reaction on mine compared to the other se....

Parked next to another std is200 i would say 3 inchs higher approx pics will do when the rain stops ARGHH C.C

pic of what area cc Thanks for the welcome

In need of either refurbed alloys or new Fit is 200 1999 either std 17inch 5 spoke or later 11 spoke 17inch also std cd player unit working cd slot below radio type also o/s/f door pin switch let me know message or here C.C

Can someone tell me what the std rear height is on a is200 ? eg from flat floor to arch? If a towbar is fitted does the rear suspension get an upgrade eg spring rates etc. Also as mine rides quite high???? cheers CC

C B 71 C fair fuel economy level B level of rain water through treads 71 sound E B 71 E is little less efficent on fuel as levels run A to G A top and G low fuel economy

hi dan iam new also well not myself but here i thought same as you great site

posted full list of pcd bores offsets ratio etc on another wheel question on here yesterday 16th thats got long list also of details

He was asking if you had a overide button to allow the gearshift to be moved to neutral postion for vehicle movement EG recovery etc do you have any such button ? PS have you switched off and started vehcile since flat battery ok but lights are still not showing correctly? Check 120amp fuse if its ok also first anyway

What i was getting at is 2 fold the 120amp blows when things are not done right jump start etc and also as you said incorrect terminal connections. I was asking the poster the question to see if they had done anything to cause blow or if they checked this as for the electric windows they stop also and some other extras you basically get basic functions as you know as we have thought along same line 120amp fuse possibly CC

cheers for that just got off the floor and have enough strength to reply £200 each for back plates :shutit: i get min 10% anyway off them but i may just ask whats the best they do or just buy a pair of complete hubs i have seen £45.00 each They are still on car but then again whats the quality of the backplates maybe be in same postion as now they maybe corroded also plan c then i think thats plan C thanks again steve much appreciated regards to info .. PS what does gold membership get me? As above i get trade 10% std depends who i see can get 10% per item on occasions which i do like :D

main reason i asked as per post regarding 120amp fuse seen this happen so many times and causes hours of frustaration for some even garages Also do your electric windows work up/down mirros ? c.c

small world been looking at this one myself LOl

any ideas on error 3 and 4 mean? also can i use then a multi player cd unit in boot for example and just plug this into my head unit instead of using the inop cd within the player head? or what is the best solution for getting cd operational again? thanks

HI What happened before the battery went flat? What lights do you refer to on dash? Did you try to jump start before you charged battery? happy to help

sorry all i done the detail twice iam new here :hohoho: opps the deatils are a guide if you look also the bores are all similar at 60.1 also so wide choice

thanks

Hello all New on here and wanted to ask about 2 things I have a 1999 is200 Q1 Cd player in op error 3 and 4 shows and inop radio and tape ok ( no suprise i know but) Whats the best option for this repai a used unit swap and use or another solution?? Q2 this is200 1999 year has no sat nav fitted to it can it be fitted with a sat nav from a newer model will it be plug and play if so? Thanks Chunky :D
