Hi Steve well the last time that window was opened the person in the back said it was slow going up so if that's the case could it be the motor just cuts out if it feels any resistance?but yes ill have a look at the fuses you mention thanks for responding.

Hi all been a while since i last posted but I have another issue so I have a 2004 is200 which has developed a strange fault drivers side rear electric window has stopped working just makes a clicking sound from the switch when operated all other windows are fine any idears would be much appreciated thanks.

Hi all not sure if I'm allowed to post this but was wondering if anyone is interested in 5 is200 aero rims with tyres dont really know what else to do with them having a clear out

Hi eddiea1 yes I still them there currently sat on my old is200 se up the drive

Hi all so now I have a new problem with my is200 which I hope someone can shed some light about a week ago my car started up fine but from starting up from cold to warming up it judders and won' accelerate propery don' get me wrong if I floor it it will go but drive normall it's hesitating and not happy but when it' fully warmed up it' totally fine just had mot and it flew through that just can' understand it had over 5 years now and it' never done this I do however only do around 3000 miles a year so it is stood a ot of the time it' going into Lexus next Month for a cambelt change and I guess I'll have to as them to also investigate this problem also but thought ide see if any other is200 owners had experienced this problem

Just a quick update so my local mechanic has quoted me 325.00 to replace the belt I'm just in the frame of mind to leave it now as I only do 2500 miles a year the car is not a daily driver but I do want to ask the question why do manufacturers use belts and not chains as this kind of maintenance is very expensive not happy

Going to bite the bullet and get it done my mechnic at my local garage asked me if the water pump was driven off the cam belt I looked and I said I don' think so. So it' just the belt and tensioners could have done without the expense but I don' want my car to die I'll wait back to hear from him thank you for your messages on this everyone

Hi to all is200 owners not sure where I'm surpose to post. Need advice please I have a is200 sport currently on 112000 miles cambelt was done at 635000 by previous owner in June 2009 I haven' had it done I know it' short on milege but I know it' due on time my question is can I leave it till later this year as at the moment just after Christmas things are tight but at the same time don' want it to snap what are people s thoughts on it cheers

That's good to know eddiea1 definitely no cracks I'm careful driving the roads are terrible round here I have to swerve about to avoid pot holes im only considering getting rid as I prefer the smoother ride from the 17s I may keep them yet but good to know they can be fixed if they do ever get damaged

That's good to know cheer.

Replying to the previous post im not trying to sell on here I don't want telling off. And yes I know these wheels are fragile the inside of the rims buckle easier than most mine luckily are sound but thanks for your info ill check out some sites to sell.

Hi everyone been a while since I was last on. I was wondering if anyone knows how much my is200 aero alloys are worth? Please don't turn this into a selling thread. The quickest way to find out how much things are worth is to look at the various selling sites on the internet.

Hi everyone.sorry Dave not messaged back sooner managed to finally replace wheel bearing was not straight forward snapped nolt @#$#@ hello is than that lexus parts but all ok thank you for offering to help. I need to start a new topic with another query now still new to this

Ok thanks dave just wanted to check

Ok quick update just picked up the new ball joint and yes it looks like the right part but has a small bolt in the side which seems like a grease hole if removed so do I just put it straight on or does it need grease putting in? The part is made be blue print

Ok Dave will do. will probably be end of next month as got far to much on at moment. Ill message you next month thanks again for offering to help out.

Thanks again everyone for all the advice. So as I said my friend is doing my ball joint for me only reason he can't do bearing is has no press so leaving it till end of next month but for now ill just concentrate on ball joint.reading Dave s post would possibly consider driving out that way and seeing him about it.

Ok thanks chris ill get the ball joint done asap as im going away next month a 400 mile round trip so don't want the ball joint failing on me but bearing might have to wait I have a friend who is happy to do ball joint just not wheel bearing but the ball joint is more urgent thanks for you advise.

Hello everyone I recently had my mot and advisories were osf wheel bearing and nsf lower ball joint the garage which motd the car can't do repair. I have asked local garages even lexus themselves which wanted near to a grand to do it.but every garage I ask as soon as I say its a lexus they all go ooooo expensive maybe they are hearing rolls royce plus none of my local garages know how to do the work as have never worked on one.are they really this complicated to fix somone has saidyou nneed a hydraulic press as I was going to see if I could do it myself but im not confident enough. I think ill just have to leave it and when in next fails mot leave it off road as im getting stressed out with the whole thing. My car is a 2004 is200 sport any advice please.

I don't hate the 17s just the fact that the 5 spoke corrode so bad and then makes the car look tatty so I just went all out got 5 aero alloys and I never scrimp on safety so for me I put on Michelin pilot sport 3 were not to bad a price but I had to get 2 of my aeros straighten but all good just a bit of vibration under braking but I can live with that.

I think ill go for that option then as ill be getting all four for the same money.just wondering what is the difference then between eibach springs and eibach pro springs?either way happy to go ahead and get them

Ok not to happy not having much luck on ebay or maybe its just me.tried local after market places ek brakes etc only list one spring for the whole is range and its gonna cost around 250.00 ish for both front springs from my nearest lexus dealer not sure what to do been looking at the posts on here abou eibach springs but I once lowered a bmw I had by 60mm front and 40 rear and the ride was awfull anyone have some suggestions as I dont have alot to spend

Ok thankyou much appreciated

Hi all im not looking to upgrade just replace I have snapped my drivers road spring I have the is 200 sport I have heard its a different spring to an se and s as its lower is this correct and if so how much are they and do you replace them in pairs? Any help would be appreciated
