Can someone please help me understand coil overs vs shock absorbers ?

OK - great ! Price fitted ?

Hi all, I have some leaking rear shocks on my IS250 :( Quote to replace $610 each + labour. Anyone know of any other after market options or second hand ones available in Sydney ? Also, if anyone know of any good mechanics that could fit them also near Castle Hill or Homebush it would be terrific. Thanks again ! Cheers ...

Are they definitely 4300K ? According to chart from this seller 4300 is yellow ? When I look at the front of my car of existing light it definitely does not look yellow ! I just don't want to open up driver side light ... it seems quite tricky to remove light bulb on this side. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-x-D4S-HID-XENON-HEADLIGHT-UPGRADE-BULBS-FIT-PHILIPS-XenEco-Xenstart-Osram-4300-/330941273604?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d0da31604

Hi all, I have a 2006 Lexus with HID lights. Finally one of the has blown. Other than d4s assume they are 6000K ? Also, where is the best place to source a replacement one from ? Cheers ... Jose

Wow - Lexus sells on ebay ?

Anyone know where to get some original or close to original front floor mats at a reasonable price ? Or even rubber ones that do not get so dirty and are easier to clean ? Unfortunately the ones from previous owners have taken a beating ! Cheers ...

Photos ?

Anything in Oz ?

What about this ? http://www.whereismaps.com/buy-map-updates_built-in-car-navigation_product.aspx?view=13&devicedesc=Suitable+for+all+Lexus+models&deviceid=347

Anyone know where I can pickup a leather gear know (mine is bad) and ashtray/lighter ? Tried ebay and no luck. Cheers ...

OK. Where can I buy just the map upgrades then and does it include speed/red light camera warning ? Also - can I do this myself ?

Wow ! Cost ? Time involved ?

Anyone know if a 2006 IS250 satnav can be upgraded to new interface ? Also, how much does this cost ? Many thanks !

OK - I will be removing light and following this video. I am pretty sure there is something loose in there. Panel beater quoted me $780 so figure I can give this a go myself first. If I stuff it up I can always take it to them. Has anyone attempted this before ???

OK - as with any second hand purchase one slowly discovers the previous owners neglect ! I see that one my headlights is not right. The bulb is sticking out slightly. I have attached pics to show this. Now ... anyone see this before or have any idea on how to fix ? I have the Sports Luxury IS250 with lights that move as you turn so not sure this is a DIY challenge ? I would hate to think what Lexus will charge me here ...

Anyone know how to remove the plastic rivets in the engine panels ? It's driving me nuts googling and no luck.

Looks like autobarn (up the road from me) does not have these leather products ! http://www.autobarn.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=autoglym

Any products I don't have buy online ? Just want to purchase right away this week. Cheers ...

Hi all, anyone tried cleaning and restoring their car leather seats lately ? The previous owner did not really look after his seats. Am thinking of perhaps steam cleaning ? Appreciate others thoughts / help/ ideas !

OK - I slowly lifted up and pushed back down. Good as Gold !!!! All fixed !

anyone ?

Silly me .. yes ! I meant to say speaker grill not battery grill ! OK - I am tempted to pull it up and see if I can re-seat this however don't want to ruin it. Hoping someone here knows fix. :)

Hi everyone ! Love this forum ... Just purchased a 2006 IS 250 Sports Luxury. It's awesome ! Few little neglected items from previous owner however hoping this forum will help me get these sorted. Cheers ...

After buying my first 2006 IS250 Sports Luxury I have 2 questions for everyone here - 1) Is the battery panel in front dash sticking up slightly normal ? I have attached pics. 2) How can one remove the front door storage area to clean. I have a feeling previously owner was not very clean and there is some sticky stuff in there I am unable to clean. I have also attached pic of what I am talking about. Many, many, many thanks !
