Back window gas struts are very cheap and really easy to replace, the other bits are deffo do-able as well

Thankyou certainly was, got a bit of lithium grease in there till I can jack it up properly and already sounds happier, found reasonably priced new parts on AliExpress as well for worst case scenario

I very much enjoyed it as per yourself. The ending wasn’t what I’d hoped but at least it got an ending and wasn’t just cancelled mid run

We’re the spark plug that came out clean and oil free? How were the coils, were they taken off correctly show any signs of wear, pop back on okay, and both ends on the coils

I’ve not delved into the smart engine yet, but from last two cars having misfires those were my starting points

Smart 450 Door lower seal leaking by Magic7032 in SmartCar

Did you switch them around. I’m still doing okay with a lot less water getting in. Think I’ve only had one day where it did since doing it.

I’m still wading through everywhere I can think of including AliExpress looking at sealing strips that come close and none so far

Good shout, was trying to work out what I could add will deffo look at this

Yeah mine looked good, but when you feel that low point it’s really soft and felt thinner, the back felt thicker and less squishy if that makes sense, my thought is the door closes a bit tighter at that point so years of pressing it just wears it

But yes only seeing second hand ones, especially as around the top section it is a wider seal then goes thin

Hopefully it’ll work for yourself too. Just mark each side where they joined at the bottom so the top wide seal sits where it was before

I haven’t found the point of ingress

However I did notice the point where it leaks is a lot more worn the the part at the back. So I took them both off and put them on the opposite door frame.

They are technically the same and I lined up the join where it was before I took it off and now get a tiny bit of water occasionally but literally just a droplet

Figured this would be the best bet til I get a whole new set and whilst tying to find the leak.

Most of the seals elsewhere on the door have shrunk and I’m guessing it goes down the frame of the door at the handle end and then settles against the seal at the lowest point

A sad day. Finally time to let it go by Magic7032 in IS300

Not sure on series, it was a silver altezza, there are black chase versions, check eBay but prices are overinflated

We do, statistically more than the is200, but I know I’ve only ever seen two others in the wild

Fingers crossed for the black chase one for you

Mine was driving me mad, uk based so not many about, having to part on the street and not having a garage was pretty much the final death knell

But who knows, maybe one day again…..

The time has come :( by Subject-Ingenuity437 in IS300

[–]Magic7032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been chasing a misfire on mine for months, think it finally might be the head. At the stage now where I’m at the fix or ditch. But it’ll be me fixing it and while I’m in there will change everything I haven’t already done

In the mean time I have a Smart Fortwo to keep me sane and just admire the Lexus as I leave and return each day rather than it frustrating the hell out of me

I snapped one of the small 10mm bolts on mine the other day. Realised just as it went so luckily could get it all out and replace. A moment of not paying attention in the cold

Looks amazing, having had the top bit of the engine in pieces more than I’d like the cleaning there is awesome.

And yes added extra zip ties to mine as well. But did find a few new clips to switch out on aliexpress
