Recommended Posts

Hi All

I have a lexus Is200 SE 2001 which has 87,000 on the clock, I've read that the cam belt should be changed at 100,00 but I think for peace of mind I may get it done sooner.

Would really appreciate some advice on this please and how much I should be expected to pay.

Thanks :phone:

Hi Craig, £125 for a gaites cambelt kit off e bay, then you got labour time unless your changing it yourself.

I would do the cambelt at 60k intervals,best to be safe than sorry.

Thanks.Lee.

I've been a bit slow on my updates.The paintwork is almost finished.

Rear bumper had to be painted 3 times due to reacting, cheap paint used previously on it apparently.

Got myself a replacement LSD diff which has been fitted, used Gulf Competion LSD oil and replaced the 2 x 10mm collapsable washers for the drain and top level bungs.

Got myself new original dealer number plates and tax disc made up.

Not much left to do for now, fit number plates, aluminium sport pedals and a few oil breather hoses to fit.

then off to get my windows retinted.Once all this is done, gonna fit a new fuel pressure regulator and it's off for mapping then.

Thanks.Lee.

Finally got my car back on Saturday, paint done now, my new original dealership plates and tax disc now fitted and my freshly painted gearknob also fitted.It was a full day yesterday for polishing,waxing and cleaning.

Here's a few pics from yesterday.

Finally, my mate fitted the rear plate on the wonk,must have had to many shandys the night before..lol.

Replaced the rear light but once fitted, I have now noticed it's the wrong colour tint to match the other rear light,I'm not happy,gotta find another light now and I don't even know which of the 3 different types it is.

See the difference in the rear lights?

This is the correct light

This is the replacement which is a fair bit lighter.

Had a really good deal yesterday at ATS Euromaster, I wanted my air con regased as it was non existant, anyway I had the regas and the anti bacterial treatment all for £33, nice and cold now, it's spot on.

Here's a few pics.

I managed to straighten the rear number plate and looking at the rear lights in this pics, they look the same, I'm not sure now if it was just the sun light that made them look different last weekend,I'm still not 100% sure though.

I had the window tints done today,took all the old film off, left the
fronts standard now due to insurance and police etc.Had new fitted to
the rears,I stuck with the 35% tint I had already on there, looks great,
nice and fresh now.




Thanks.Lee.
