I have had my cambelt done last week. The parts are £30 for cam belt and you are looking around £50 each for an idler and tensioner = £130 tops (can be got cheaper trade) - its advisorable you do them as well. Labour can be anything from £100 to £200 for it. i think Lexus stockport quoted me something like £260 for the belt being done with no idler or tensioner.

Id get the parts yourself and find someone down london that can do lexus timing belts cheap for ya!

As previously mentioned....make sure if buying the belt from motor factor you get a GATES belt.They are the best

Do you have to get the idler and tensioner? Seems alot of money just on parts to sort out the cam belt.

I had mine changed last month in Woodford

2.50 hours = £262.50

Consumables £8.62

Timing belt £28.17

All prices net of vat

I also had an MOT and found I needed two new tyres. Ouch!

Lexus Southampton charged me £551 inc vat for 100,000 service with cambelt a few weeks ago, didn't think that was too bad esp as they gave me an RX300 demonstrator as a courtesy car.. only problem was they found that the water pump was leaking so final bill was £695 inc vat, plus discs front & rear need replacing soon, oh and so will the the rear tyres..

Does anyone have the part # of the idler and tensioner??? I am preparing to do the cambelt change and the part # would help, because I am not going to lexus for my parts.

thanks,

it is advisable to replace the idler and tensioner as these are what causes a timing belt to fail.
