Dealer said camshaft position sensor. Would this be related to his fitting of the timing belt considering it started within 10 milesof the garage after the belt was fitted? Quite possibly, but a faulty CPS usually means the engine won't fire up. Car fires up and drives. If the sensor is faulty and they replace the sensor I will be happy. I am concerned that the sensor is not faulty and that the error message is accurate. It would be strangely co-incidental that the sensor becomes faulty immediatelyafter the timing belt was fitted. I strongly suspect something went wrong when fitting the belt in relation to the camshaft position. They want the car for the whole day.

I am going back to the dealer tomorrow. The lamp is still on and they have changed their minds and now say it is something to do with the camshaft? Can anyone throw some light on this for me?

Could be something like that. I have begun to notice a pattern. There is a new system being installed to sense these automatic passes. The beep has only started to appear since this has been happening. Also because of the new system being commisioned sometimes it does not pick up the passes. Guess what, the beep only happens when my pass is about to work. Still a couple or cars between me and the booth but perhaps as Monster-Mat says it is the TA system picking up the sensors about to work properly. Where are the toll gates? I will begoing down from Dundalk to M50 and on to Galway today and will try out to see if it happens for me.

Had my timing belt changed last week. Cost, inclusive of 90,000 mile service and VAT was €791.00 AND they left me with warning lamps illuminated. Not happy!

In addition to GALLA 4 (excellent) suggestions http://www.travelodge.ie currently selling rooms from €40 per night. There is no such thing as good value for room rates on weekends in Ireland. We all get married on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, so hotel rooms are always heavily booked at weekends. You can also try www.wotif.com. and see if they have any value on offer. Finally, there is a very good B&B beside the Stillorgan Park Hotel called the Priory. www.thepriorytownhouse.com Na be ag marchiocht na cailini anseo!!! Slainte. Conchuir

Have you enquired about importing it to another EU country like Ireland? Once registered, you can transfer within EU. Try www.revenue.ie for info. There are thousands of imports here and also an active export business for vehicles to the UK. Just a thought. Look for a back door entry. I imported my car INTO THE EU (from Australia via Belfast then Dublin) as a change of residence item without paying taxes here or in the UK. Good luck with it.

2000 Lexus IS200 Sports Luxury, 6 speed Aussie car in Ireland. I just had my first timing belt service this week and the car has travelled 150,000km (93,750 miles) from new. I have never had a warning light illuminate until I picked the car up after the service. I drove for 20 minutes and stopped. No problem. Later i drove for 5 minutes and I get a warning light. I returned to the dealer who reset it and said it was a phantom warning, to do with the Key being recognised by the immobiliser. I drove away and 80 miles down the road I stop the engine again. (To this point, no warning light). When I drive on from here, I get the same light comming on. It is driving me crazy. Can anyone advise on how to overcome this problem? Car opens, locks, starts, drives etc. I am scared that I will be left on the side of the road with no power or something. The dealer is 140 miles away from where I live and offers no explanation as he is stumped by the problem Oh, the timing belt at 150,000km... Well, I saw the one that came out. Was very lucky it had not broken. Aussie IS200 manual says to change at this milage. I will believe and take the local advice here to do it at 100,000km (62,000 miles).
