To test the sensor, put it in reverse with ignition on, put your ear next to the sensor on the bumper if you can her it clicking its working. If not its not.

If its not working try warming it with a hair dryer, if any water has got in it will dry it out.

It did on this

<-------------

As for having the standard beep when in reverse and then the extra beep with sensors, it seems bonkers to me - I would have one disconnected.

As far the light, I also think the wire to the parcel shelf light will have been re routed to the spoiler.

You just need to split it and connect it back up.

Although when I had mine it was very bright at the back with all the brake lights on so I disconnected the spoiler light rather than the parcel shelf one.

Ask one of the local Hoodies to take it off, they are experts at removing Lexus valve caps.

yeah and BMW ones

A kid up our street took mine, but my lad saw him.

10 minutes later his old man was shouting at me as I was taking two off his bike, 3 minutes later the other 2 came out of his pocket much to the embarrasment of his dad

:winky: one back for us car owners

two weeks later they'd gone again . little b******d

is it when braking during a slow manouvre?

could be a stuck caliper, had it a few times on mine, just needed freeing up........ till next time... recurring....

Make sure you have kept them clean though so they dont have any excuse to blame you

u have metal valve caps i assume?

How u guess wont b makeing that mistake again :duh:

1. Use mole grips.

will probably knack the thread on the valve but at least you will be able to get air in.

and plastic caps will probably cut their own thread in the plastic if you put plastic back on.

2. alternatively if the lock screw is accessesable - drill them ... carefully

3. or hacksaw across the top and try to spread them open if you can

Saturday - 1.15PM

First one (of the few made) that I have seen.

Most yellow cars look a bit tacky to me, but this actually looked great.

I use luke warm

I heard to hot and it takes off the wax.

My wheels take longer than the car (1hr +) so first I also wash and rinse each panel then "chamois" it, but not with a chamois I use a microfibre cloth.

Then start on the wheels

Its good but not as good as Supernatural or Heroes

Actually a mate bought an Audi S5 recently and it is just awesome, and the sound

No it doesn't

If your restricting the clutch returning to its normal position then that would be like riding the clutch surely ?!!!

Maybe he's just after your £450 when the clutch is worn out

Mine squeaked when pressing the pedal and it was a dry bushing somewhere underneath I am sure. Its a few years ago now but I am sure I sprayed dry lube on it to cure it.

Try doing a search for "squeeky and clutch"

Get that clamp thing looked into !!

check this thread ( clonking threads)out - and the others in it

bit of a nostalgic moment for me going through my posts to find this thread

My mate did mine for £ 50

Theres been a company doing "home" paint jobs in an unused carpark next to our place.

Looks ok, they turn up a van, erect a big tent then repair and paint cars under it.

Seem to do bumbers mainly.

Bit odd really but probably cheap as low overheads.

:eerrrmm:

Looking at getting an IS220D SE for a new sales man.

Will be getting a contract hire car

Any one had a good experience and more importantly a good deal that they would recomend the supplier.

dont get a 330 , thought my IS was bad but this is ridiculous, I blocked the street last night, an RX had to mount the pavement to get past me.

nice car

nice plate

Sorry mate - missed this

Yeah my hands :P

No , a piece of wood, the brush handle snapped, so did the hoe, so a piece of 2x2.

But youve probably sorted it by now, soz

If the springs are on the pads ok, then it might be a stuck piston in the caliper.

There are two per caliper on the front

If you can take the pads out, the instructions are on the site and its easy, then get someone to press the pedal and see if they both move out.

You will need to lever or press them back in to get them back far enough to get your pads back in.

Done it loads, mine suffered from these on and off for 3 years.

Get an autotrader and see which breakers have any IS's in.

Some of em will post out to you.

One of mine was a bit rusty on the edge of the tip, but I just dabbed some mat black paint on it.

Clown

Nerves

WTF

No i have lost my "e" of the desk top

:duh:

If your using XP - then copy the link below to your address bar

C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe

Cheers mate.

I have just "added" it back in through settings.

Strange how it must have been "removed"

I seem to have lost "paint" on my pc

Weird

Any one know how to find where it has gone or where to look (please dont suggest my garage :duh: )

fingers crossed it isnt that then.

yeah as i say its fine when ur driving, just when ur staitionary.

is it easy to tighten the belts? havent investigated fully of where all the bits are yet

Pretty straight forward to tighten, A bolt round the back needs loosening and I think one at at the front as well.

I thought I had a photo - but must be on home pc

(oddly I had to loosen mine to as loose as poss without slipping as it made a grinding noise when tight - as a result of a crash)
