    The whole things needs replacing. So I have the rear bit for £300 ish but cant find the other bits I would need. Anyone know what to look for?! Central bit?! Not very knowledgeable on these things.

    Looking for some advice. The exhaust on my '08 Lexus IS 200 has dropped off, as the bracket rusted through. I have been quoted £2700 for a genuine replacement and £1500 for an after market. Any recommendations for a cheaper alternative would be great, as may as well scrap the car as it is only worth around £3000 anyway.

  8. mrteach1973

  9. mrteach1973
    New one for me. Light works but is not quite bright enough However, will get it replaced but which lamp is it refering to on this photo? In the UK so drivers side is the left as we look at it.

    The point is that the schedule of works states replacement and NEW. So an exchange indicates that they are correcting a problem they have caused by fitting a faulty item originally. The item they replaced was originally fitted by another garage. It is them I have to send the unit too to get a refund. Surely the surcharge and this whole process needs to be clearly visible in their T&C's or the schedule of works for any one looking to use the garage for this kind of work?

    Hi I just had the alternator fixed on my Lexus and the garage are saying if I want the old alternator to claim a refund from the company as it is faulty I have to pay them £160 for it!? Is this common place? Do the garage now own the old alternator? Many thanks

    Oooh! Ok. Will give it a go tomorrow. Exciting!

    So did the tests as instructed. Without engine on: 12.5 Then with lights on 12.04 With engine on: 14 Then revved 13.7. All the heaters lights etc 13.4... Not sure what to do now...

    Is it the bit that goes into the part attached to the actual case, rather than what looks like two wires coming together? Thanks
  16. mrteach1973
    I was wondering if anyone had any tips for removing this wire from the positive side of the plastic surround around the battery. I can't seem to work it out. Is it the black bit actually on the plastic case I need to pry away See image below. Many thanks
  17. mrteach1973
    That sounds like great advice. Will borrow one tomorrow from my neighbout and give it a whirl. Do you know what the tester should be set too? As in current?
  18. mrteach1973
    Yeah all good.

    Hi What am i looking for in regards to the numbers for the battery when testing it? Do I need to do it with engine off and on...with revs or not? Many thanks for your help.
  20. mrteach1973
    Hi. The battery connectors are really clean as is the battery terminal...

    So when I turn my Lexus IS250 on and put the headlights to full beam, they get brighter than dimmer in time with my engine, as the engine idles. They arent that bright either. Do people think this is related to the wiring or maybe the alternator? Im thinking more the alternator as it seems to happen in time with the jerky idle. Any help would be fab. Lexus IS250
  22. mrteach1973
    Should also say that the bumpy idle seems to sync with the lights getting bright and dim. What does that mean?
  23. mrteach1973
    Hi After some advice I think my alternator is on the way out as when my lights are on full beam they flicker and go bright/dim/bright/dim. I heard that if you whack everything on inside the car heaters, radio etc and then have yoru lights on and floor it, they should get brighter if the aternator is working well. Does that sound right? Anyway there was no difference in brightness and the full beam kept getting brighter than dimmer repeat.... Does this sound like the alternator is failing? Or does it point to another problem. The car seems to rough idle as well
  24. mrteach1973
    Hi I had my alternator replaced with a RTX back on August and I think it is failing again. Flickering lights, rough idle, battery light is flashing on and off intermittedly Does this all make sense? Anyway been quoted for a LUCAS alternator as the DENSO ones are on back order. Any one have any experience of these and whether they are worth the effort? Many thanks

    I was just wondering how you can tell by looking, if the battery is the original battery? My car is an IS250 2006 Sport Model. Many thanks
