Hi All, New Lexus Owner


Recommended Posts

Alright there every one.

Got my lexus a couple of months ago (is200 s on a xreg with 80000 miles with full Lexus service history) and was really happy when i picked it up, but within a week i noticed a few problems. Luckely being a vehicle technician and quiet friendly with the head mechanic at lexus Bolton (Neil), I'm getting through the problems. First Job i did was the timing belt and tensioner, which was a good thing because there was a chunk missing out of it, also found the water pump was leaking and the by pass hose was leaking which is situated above the water pump, I replaced them, flushed the water system and renewed the anti freeze, every thing was fine untill i checked my water level a few days later, it lost a litre!, topped it up and it lost anothere litre a few days later, I gave it a good check and a found the radiator was leaking, so replaced the radiator and now its seems to be good.

Now we've got this warm weather i decided to use the air con, to my shock, it wasn't working, checked it and found the aircon rad was shot, so i've replaced that this week and that seems to be working fine now. Oh yeh one last thing the cd player stopped working, but luckely the guy we use at the garage i work for has repaired a few of these cd players, so he has it for repair, so no stereo for a couple of weeks!!!!.

But after all this i absolutly love the car, very quiet, very smooth and alot quicker then my old car, i use drive a Merc C class 1.8 very boring and slow!!!!.

I will post some pics of my pride a joy soon.
