Hi everyone,

My Is200 is in need of some repairs to keep it going and I was wondering if any of you guys had these as spares :

I need a middle exhaust box as mine has just decided it didnt like being connected to my back box

Track rod ends - got some rattling from the front so im guessing its either these or another ball joint etc

aerial - mine is missing and im getting fed up of listening to cd's !

front door speakers

So if you have any of these let me know

Cheers

Well the belt has been taken off and the noise has gone ! yay so im guessing its a replacement aircon pump at some point but I dont think it will be needed just yet.

Thanks everyone

Its definitely not the belts - its not that type of squeak and it makes no difference if the air con is on or not

Hi Phil,

Im sending a Pm as I could do with a local IS friend to take a look at my poor example but also, would be very interested in a visit to the mine :)

Cheers

Morning Guys,

I have had a squeaking from the engine for a week or so and yesterday decided to take a look ! it sounds like it is coming from the air con pump - either that or the alternator but im pretty sure its the air con.

Question - Can I just take the belt off that is driving the air con pump ? I know I wont have the ice cold breeze but I dont think its needed just yet lol. Also How difficult is it to replace the aircon pump ?

Cheers

Allan

Cheers Ian

Yeah it was a great drive over and back and very nice to meet you aswell - thanks for the bits

Cheers for the pics pete - much appreciated

Doesnt look like I will be getting under it this weekend ! tooo cold ...

Hi Dave, you are probably correct but an Indie or main dealer is good - was hoping to find one on here but might just have to go to the local dealer.

Hi Everyone

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I need some pricing for a few bits and pieces on my lexus but I need it on a formal quote as I need it for legal purposes. I dont suppose there is anyone on here that is able to help preferably around the manchester area ?

Cheers

Cool - will come over next Saturday and we can haggle lol - much appreciated Ian

Have you got lots of spares Ian ? might have to bring some cash over with me if you have - need a sparewheel insert for the boot, liner for the boot, boot handle and a few other things lol

As you have jumped on my thread does that mean I will get a discount ? lol

This is what is great about the internet - you guys are so welcoming and helpful.

Thanks for the responses guys.

Ive found that out ! lol , gave it a real nice clean when i got it and found the paintwork was terrible but still gleamed ok but now its dirty it looks cr@p

Just means I will have to wash it more often ! Kids can earn their pocket money ..

Cheers Ian, I wont be able to get over to you till next weekend if thats ok ?

Where abouts are you ?

Cheers

Hi

I need a spare wheel & tyre for a lexus is200 (2000 SE) as I dont have one at the moment - ideally around the manchester area so I can collect and als as cheap as possible please.

Cheers

Judging by the state of the car the previous owner didnt do much in the way of servicing - its something I intend to do quite soon is get it in for fluids & filters etc and a general once over - I'm pretty sure I have a whiney wheel bearing , either that or the diff is whining but im not sure.

Hi Stuart,

Im going to keep the aftermarket ones for the time being as i have just had to replace one of the rears which wasnt cheap !lol If I can sort some of the niggles out then I hope to keep the car for a while.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the reply - I will be having a look at the weekend hopefully so will let you know.

Cheers

Hi Everyone,

Just purchased a 2000 plate IS200 SE (160K on clock) in Black which has many many faults but is still great to drive. I am after a few pointers and I apologise now if these questions have already been asked.

Radio - When I bought it the radio didnt work and upon further investigation I found that the amp is missing as a previous owner has probably put an aftermarket system in. The radio I have has a tape a and cd player with 2 connectors at the back but I can only find one in the wiring loom that fits (small connecters - look like speaker wires) - if I replace the amp where does this other connector come from ?

Washer bottle - it appears mine has a leak, are they easy to get to and is it likely a pipe has come off instead of a hole ? I know you cant say without seeing it but just wondering if this is quite common ?

Thanks everyone and I look forward to coming on here lots.

Al.
