Full Version: Rx300 Failure
My brother in law has a x plate RX300 with 65k,he has owned it for 4 years. last month,without any forewarning,one morning it wouldnt start and called his local garage to have it picked up,and was then subsequently forwarded to Lexus in Glasgow who(eventually)diagnosed it with a broken camshaft.!!!.Till now the bill is £2000 with a further 3500k to fix.Just wondered if anyone has heard of this before to this engine.Not looking for an answer just maybe some thoughts from you guys.

I have not checked my self but at that price, is it not going to be cheaper to try and get a reconditioned engine?!
