    hi i have tried every type of wiper blade and in the end bought a set from Lexus and no more problems with juddering. I found with the flat blades as you got up to higher speeds the flat blades flexed and they were not cheap blades so give Lexus a ring as i paid about £4 for the near side and £25 for the offside money well spent

    Hi did they check the gas pressure as low pressure would stop the pump from working

    hi the reason people change the water pump with the cam belt is that if it leaks you have to remove the cambelt to replace it so it can work out cheaper to do the both at the same time but the cambelt does not drive the water pump

    hi the drain plug is in the bottom of gearbox sump to fill the box remove gearbox dipstick and fill though the dipstick tube to replace the filter you have to remove the sump

    hi i think its 40 000 miles you need to change the filter too you wont feel any difference but if the filter starts to block it will starve the auto box of oil and this will destroy it
