Hello to all and thank you to all that reply i have a R A M cat 1 alarm and imobilizer fitted just being out to my car and all my hazard lights are flashing but no horn as i would hear if some one had try to force it, if a take out the fuse under bonnet they stop flashing have replaced with spare fuse but no difference, tried to reset with the little black plug you get still no difference, when the fuse is out the indicators do not work have left fuse out, but what i found strange was that when i locked it the indicators flashed as per normal? have pushed and wiggleled all fuses and relays in fuse box had the engine running and heater on while i did all this, any help or advice and at what cost your actions for me to do thank you all once again.

Unfortunately this is extremely common on the OEM head unit, I have an IS200 and it happened to mine. Basically the head unit is on its way out. You might be able to give it a whack and get it to work again, or take it apart to get the CDs out, but the unit is very prone to this sort of failure.
There are lots of threads about getting aftermarket units and how to install them, fascia adaptors etc.
thanks for the reply just whack it cool like where abouts and how much force ?can not see to many srews is it a whole dash board out job or is they a way of just taking the front off and how long a job is it ? cheers (-:
Ps cost ?

hi at a rough gess what are the co 2 emmissions for a standard 1998 4door Auto Altezza thank you
HT.

where you have the speedo surround ( the funny goldie bit) there's 2 screw in the top of it I think, and 1 down below where the ignition key fits in around where your knee would be
once you've taken them out you should be able give it a bit of a pull and it'll come off
then there another 3 holding the cluster in you should be able to see all of these
Have done that all seemed ok took the plug off gave it a clean but still the same problem
cheers.

HI,jack up the drive wheels,remove connector from switch,start the car,and put in 3rd gear,put a ohms meter across terminals,and read off the ohms,u should get 16-17,0 ohms at idle speed in 3rd gear,if not ,the switch is ######.Idon't think it's the gauge,they never go wrong.hope this helps B)
hi,yes it is a simple job,but i need more details of your car,eg the make,year,auto or manu.then i can take u through and how to test your switch,maybe it just a clean. B)
hi, try changing your speedo pick up sensor.your sensor is magnetic, and pick up all the iron filings from the gear-box B)hi my speed ometer keeps sticking at the top end speed i do and comes down very slowly when i stop it does then go to zero the milage keeps ticking up any advice thank you.Is that a simple job or how much at a garage thank you and where is best place to buy one cheers

Think he means the speedo cluster it's self
think theres 3 screws in the speedo suround you will need to remove and another 3 holding the cluster in place, once these are removed you will be able to lift the speedo out to check the wiring loom and plugs
Hi thank you will look i take it you mean on the dash board have noticed screws under the steering wheel where your feet go well legs go?
Cheers

hi all once again, i was given a key for my altezza which works on ignition but not on the door so i assumed the door had been changed as had the lock, anyway, i took the lock out and tok it to a locksmith and he said no way as it is a special lock, chip key or something but i told him my car has not secuirty whatsoever inc an immobiliser which was never installed so it is a standard key but he said go to lexus/toyota, so i did and they said they do not have the codes for a import, but can give me a lock set off a uk is200 but cannot guaratee it will work in the door,
any help please, are the locks for the doors in an altezza the same as a uk is200?
