Done mate

if i remember correctly it was back seat out take off the two side panels and pop up the rear shelf do one side at a time put some tape round where the hinge bolts to the boot lid to make it easier to line up again it's a bit fiddly but not hard just a couple of hours best with two of you

Ade

Had this on mine about 3 years ago got hinges and springs from breakers £25 perfect ever since

Ade

LEX 11S sold for £10900 in 2003 with all the taxes came to £13.8k kin ell

Got a towbar on mine i think what they mean is it won't fit if you have

the rear under vanance on the bumper i have a whitter detachable swan neck

one and you can hardly see it

Ade

Hope this helps

Access it from underneath make sure the car is well supported

you will need a 24mm spanner (I think)

ideally you need a little pump thing to get the oil in as there’s

not much room if you’re not doing it on a ramp it’s a real pig

Ade

Nice Love that colour

Ade

I have one just cut the amount off you need so they are the same size and get it cut

some places say they won't cut them as the metal is harder than the original key ?

Ade

There HID headlights and some of the late IS200's had them fitted as standard

Ade

can confirm as above take out boot carpet next to spare wheel there is a little metal cover plate on some with the ignition on press the eject button on the DVD unit and out comes the disk they used to be ££££££££££'s but from mapupdates they are about £100 + delivery

Hi all. Damn useful site - changed front discs with no real effort thanks to the step-by-step picture guide!

OK, the problem. Common I guess, but what's the best way to fix the corroded bulb sockets on the back of the lamp body? Replacement I suppose but is there an alternative to going to a dealer? I'm too scared to ask the price there since I got stung for £14 for a bonnet clip and £80 quid for a new door mirror glass. What a rip off!

if it's beyond repair i think a new one is about £160 Each best bet is eBay or scrap yard

Ade

yup mines the same

Ade

Yes you can

Ade

so I guess it isn't anyone from here then ! lol

Now look what u started

Most plates with the numeric’s at 20 or below are classed as private same as 111 or 222 etc and according to the number plate bodies a plate the changes hands for monies is classed as private.

My plate was issued in 1954 and would sell for a lot more than a new Lexus are you saying as it’s a plate off an old car it’s worthless!!

I deal in plates for a living and you would not believe what sells and for how much.

Ade

Thanks for the clarification.... However you and I both know that any plate is only worth what someone will pay for it, however like many commodities that have no use, there will always be someone who will pay for the perceived prestige of individuality. So no I'm not saying that a plate off an old car is worthless, but other than the way that a reg plate identifies a motor car, it is pretty pointless.

That's true it’s all about individuality or showing off depending on your point of view oh and having very deep pockets a decent plate will cost many £K’s

Possibly
