teabag

Thanks Malc.

I found them on Amayama, at a reasonable cost. I have also found that most parts ar avaiable from swindon lexus under lexuspartdirect.com, although a bit more expensive.

Hi

My Is200 has failed Mot on rusty rear subframe braces, (they look like a long thigh bone in shape) my local garage said it may not be able to source them any more.

I think the LE is good value if you like the colour, as it has full leather with contrasting piping, and HID lights etc.

it would be my preferance, but the blue is nice!.

Hi guys

I have noticed a light rumbleing sound coming from the road wheels of my IS200 auto, the noise dose increase with speed a little, and becomes much more noticeable when turning to right or going around a roundabout, not so bad when turning left.

I think it is probably a wheel bearing on left hand side, not sure if front or rear.

is this a common or known fault.

The car is under 3 years and is still under waranty and has 40 000 miles on it, but I would apeciate some advice before I take it to my dealer (lexus plymouth).

Thanks

you need a router which is compatable with the X box to share the internet connection.

we use the Netgear RP 614 it works very well, have 3 computers and X box on it, and also is a firewall. cost about £50 from simply.co.uk.

network cables and other bits are cheap as chips from screwfix

Belkin offer a similar model it is cheaper but more complex to set up.

Xbox live kit costs about £30 and also includes you 1 year subscription.

our connection is telewest blueyonder 512Mb

hope that helps

nah to cold for that

yes and didn't need headlights when you got to a bare patch, cos you could see by the sparks they threw up.

studded tyres are better cos its mostly black ice we get in this country.

chains cause to mutch damage to road and car, used to have them for me 1600e when I lived near Princetown (dartmoor).

Anybody know why I got warn under the goldmember badge

maybe it because I'm worn out old b***er!

done mine

couldn't help but notice most of you guys are a lot younger than myself.

takes me back to when I had my 1600E

anybody got a pic of one, as I haven't yet seen any

might like it !

Hi All

I have just purchased a 2year old IS200 in strathcaron blue, it has a few paint chips on the bonnet, and a few which have all ready been touched in.

I would like to improve on the apearance, as best i can.

What is my best course of action, ie should I have the paint chips touched in, or is a bonnet respray the best way of dealing with them, and would I need to go to my main dealer, (for the respray of bonnet).

I think I have read somewhare on this site of a paint protection system on offer, but I have been unable to find it again.

many thanks Ken
