[i][/i]Hi All,

I am recently the proud owner of a fantastic SC 430 it is now 8 years old done 45,000 mls full Lexus Service History.
Need some advice please,

2 things,
1. Engine Shaped Orange Warning Light has just come on, yet the car is running perfectly?
2. When would you recommend that I get the Cambelt Changed as according to Lexus Dealer I should get it changed next year?

Thanks for yor help,

Tel

C'mon Guys please help as I am not in anyway Car Maint Orientated and just don't want to be ripped off!

The check engine light could mean a lot of different things mate. You will need to get the fault codes read either at Lexus, or a local garage.

First, check that the fuel cap is on tight, as this can put the light on.

I do have the same issue, but its booked in tomorrow and while its there its having an MOT so fingers crossed.

Well a few little bits for the MOT, Headlamp bit high, number plates and a leaking brake caliper, but as it was only replaced recently that was changed under warranty.

As for the Orange Light, they read the codes and think it might be a Lambada sensor, but it did pass the omissions test?

I've been told cambelt is 10 years on my 2002 SC430. I checked with 2 Lexus garages and they both said the same. Apparently it's about a £500 Lexus bill for the work.

I got my cambelt done along with a service for £600 at Glasgow Lexus. I did use the phrase "is that the best you can do" down from £700.
