  1. Your tank requirements will make it very expensive. Typical conversion involves taking your spare wheel out and putting a tank there, and a can of tyre repair foam to get you back home. I've previously made enquiries at http://www.greenfuel.org.uk/, they have done a conversion on IS before with the method mentioned above, quoted me about £2K. I have looked in to it and there is a company in the midlands called Go Gas they quoted me around £1650-1750, The Company my wife works for recomends them to convert Land rovers & range rovers I had a chat with the guy there and he said the IS can be done. But then i thought its a lot of money and will i get the return on it i am doing around 260 mile a week just to work and back. i could probably spend that amount in Petrol for the next year then trade the car in.
  2. Hello I supplied the blank which i purchased of Fleabay and took it to them and they charged £7.50 to cut it so all in key blank £12.00 and £7.50 to cut not too bad i think but it was a std Lexus 3 button type blank they cut, not one of those as listed (same as VW type) but i am sure they can cut them
  3. Hello all i nearly let the Oil companies/government make me sell my car IS200 Sport, with rising fuel costs, i convinced myself that i should sell MY car that i love and get somthing a bit better on running costs. I even went as low to think of chopping it in for a Astra 1.8i Dual fuel LPG/petrol but every time i looked at the Astra i thought Gawd this is nothing compared to what i already drive. Then i saw the Light and thought Why should i allow the robbing Oil companies/Government tell me what i can and cannot drive. So i am sticking with my Lex that is a dream to drive even if it does cost a bit to run. and i hope to keep it for another year or two then look at getting a IS220d or a IS250 as i think in the next 18months the price of Diesel will rise way above Petrol, so maybe a IS250 would then be cheaper to Run :winky:
  4. No but last time i purchased a key blank for My lexus i got it cut in Coventry, at a locksmiths Shop http://www.eydens.co.uk/locat.html and they had all the gear to do all cars by the look of it Hope this helps
  5. I fitted a Pioneer head unit and the Pioneer ipod box and the ipod lead is in the glove box out of site out of mind But my mate purchased a Alpine unit, just for Ipod users, it has a small coluor LCD display like an ipod, so displays album/artist covers same as the Ipod and all it does is have Ipod and radio looks and sounds superb Matt

  11. Before i start i know its nowt to do with the IS200 but alot of you own Xbox360 and have had the problem with it GOOOD NEWS TO ALL If you Own an XBOX360 or are looking to buy one for Forzza motosport 2 Microsoft have just made the warranty 3 years now but the best news is that if you had to send your console back with the three red rings flashing AKA Ring of death Microsoft will credit the £85.00 back to you within the next two weeks and give you a years warranty At Last they have finally stood up and listened to general joe public here is what they say Open Letter From Peter Moore To our Xbox Community: You've spoken, and we’ve heard you. Good service and a good customer experience are areas of the business that we care deeply about. And frankly, we've not been doing a good enough job. Some of you have expressed frustration with the customer experiences you have had with Xbox 360; frustration with having to return your console for service after receiving the general hardware error message on the console. The majority of customers who own Xbox 360 consoles have had a terrific experience from their first day, and continue to, day in and day out. But when anyone questions the reliability of our product, or our commitment to our customers, it's something I take very seriously. We have been following this issue closely, and with on-going testing have identified several factors that can cause a general hardware failure indicated by three flashing red lights on the console. To address this issue, and as part of our ongoing work, we have already made certain improvements to the console. We are also implementing some important policy changes intended to keep you in the game, worry-free. As of today, all Xbox 360 consoles are covered by an enhanced warranty program to address specifically the general hardware failures indicated by the three flashing red lights on the console. This applies to new and previously-sold consoles. While we will still have a general one year console warranty (two years in some countries), we are announcing today a three-year warranty that covers any console that displays a three flashing red lights error message. If a customer has an issue indicated by the three flashing red lights, Microsoft will repair the console free of charge—including shipping—for three years from the console’s purchase date. We will also retroactively reimburse any of you who paid for repairs related to problems indicated by this error message in the past. In doing so, Microsoft stands behind its products and takes responsibility to ensure that every Xbox 360 console owner continues to have a fantastic gaming experience. If we have let any of you down in the experience you have had with your Xbox 360, we sincerely apologize. We are taking responsibility and are making these changes to ensure that every Xbox 360 owner continues to have a great experience. This will take a few days to roll out globally, and I appreciate your continued patience as we launch this program. I've posted an FAQ that should address some additional questions, and we'll update it over the next few days. I want to thank you, on behalf of all us at Microsoft, for your loyalty. Welldone Bill gates this is going to cost Microsoft 1.5 Billion dollars Matt

  21. Just a quick question Ref the K&N Life time Filter, replacement for std stock air filter Is it worth Buying one before i shell out £40.00 on one and if so will i notice any difference to acceleration or not or is it just a sales ploy Cheers Matt
  22. It's on the engine cover where the Lexus logo is, unclip the "clips" at the front and back of it. bit off Topic but where did you get that K&N Lifetime filter and how much was it is it the same as the ones on Ebay cheers Matt
  23. Your asking for it I do like the caliper stickers do think they look good. But they as said they are just stickers at the end of the day!!! Lets just all be friends :) Well said lets all just be friends :D
  24. You should try the curved caliper stickers i get 14 more MPG :P Ah now i Know what they Mean Its not go faster stickers it's go Further Stickers :P
  25. I usually get 400 mile to a tank or 100mile per Qtr line but with the price of the fuel creaping up again it becomes a bit costly to fill the tank as it is coming towards summer (petrol companies put it up during the summer as more people on roads) But i dont think you will ever get both luxury and fuel economy(petrol) in one car it just dont go together Matt
