Atto, Thanks mate, at present I've booked the car into a Automotive engineer's shop to be assessed. Hear from you next week. Have a safe jouney Buzzbomb

Atto, Thankyou for responding. I'm having a difficult time resolving this issue. It sounds like a resonance coming from the exhaust. Kinda like a hum...hum... The car also makes a peculiar noise at 120 Klm/hr and coming back through 100 Klm/hr So far Lexus has changed the tailshaft, put two new tyres on, replaced the front rotors, and placed a resonator behind the cat. converter. The later making a slight difference. When the problem became "unfixable" I was told it was a series "characteristic". So if I can find one IS200 thats runs smooth, Ive something to argue with. I hope your car is perfect - they certianly are a nice car to drive. I traded a BMW318 in on this car and I consider the Lexus a better deal. Except for this bloody noise. Mate, where are you situated as I'm in Queensland. Would you be willing to have your IS checked out at a Lexus dealership? At my cost. I would appreciate your response. Regards Buzzbomb

I have an IS200 that has a harmonic vibration between 75-80 Klm/hr. Lexus Australia have told me it is a characteristic of this series. This was after the dealership tried to rectify the problem - which I might add took approx. 6 months. I would like to get feedback from IS200 owners if they a have similiar problem. MORE TO THE POINT - I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU IF YOUR IS200 DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM - PLEASE!!! I have a genuine problem that I'm trying to resolve and I need to hear from IS200) owners that do not have this problem.
