Thing is my car still hasn't done 60k, think it was just over 40k last year, but as it was 6 years old it needed the cambelt service. Although looking at kam05's list above and my invoice, it looks pretty much the same except for the diff oil change. On my invoice, I've got the service, the belt change, plugs, brake fluid and all that so it looks like pretty much the same service. I did it at Lexus Woodford, worth giving them a call if you're not too far away from them as I believe they dropped the price even lower than £695 a few months after I had my service done. Ok cool thanx Matey.. :D ..mines done 55K has full Lexus service but when i brought it she had done 25k and they had to give her the next sheduled service which was 30k (for free) so it kinda throws the service out instead of 10K,20k,10K etc its had 10K 20K... 30k (at 25K) 40K (at35K) 50K (at 45K) and now due 60K ( at55K) but shes only 4yers old so Not sure if its worth getting the cambelt done yet....? might just get them to do the 60K service and get them to check and let me know what the cambelt ,and tensioner is like.......

Parthiban did that include the 60K and the cambelt being done..?

Cheers Edeath ... i thought it would be approx that.... :shutit: better get me penny jar out and start counting... :duh:

So if i got the the "60K" service done and added the Cambelt change and water pump im guessing im looking at the best part of £1K....???? Just out of interest when does the gearbox oil get changed and the clutch fluid get changed...? Just want to make sure i get it all done before she goes.....peace of mind for me and the new owner......when she gets brought..... Thanx everyone for there help...appreciate it...

Hi Parthiban..im looking at getting a used Honda Accord Type-R.....having a look at one next few days its a Post facelift 2002 ( so no 5th syncro problems) its done 46,000 miles and is up for £5500 but will negotiate....... :D Dont really know how much to put mine up for sale yet....been looking and a few lexus dealers have 05 plate ( same age miles etc) up for £9.5 k so take in to the fact that they bung £2k on top im looking i think about £7.5 k ...but mine also has the TRD bodykit and styling kit alloys...so a little bit more expensive......but not much......

Thanx Trudi.... :D

Thanx for that Kam05... :D

One gorgeous shiny looking machine...... :winky: :D

Right folks i need some info and help regarding the dreaded 60K service.....at the moment i dont have the time to look up and sort out the "what has to be done" and "what optional stuff has to be done" ...im currently in the process of moving and its doing my head in...so... can someone be very kind "and with more time than me" Please,please,please put a breakdown of all the things that have to be done and extra stuff that i might aswell get done.... Its going to be done via LEXUS Dealership so all the stamps are up to date then....its on the "FOR SALE" section after the service has been completed... Really appreciate the time and effort .....Thanx..Dazz :D B)

You really need to talk to Tony Bones @ WIM.( WHEELS-INMOTION.co.uk )...Inner tyre wear is a common problem not only on the IS200/300 but also on the IS250/220d (but not as bad ) the lexus positions make the inner tyre wear worse and will wear your tyres out quicker...... Do a search there has been plenty of topics on the problem... As for the tyre noise...it will always become worse when the tyre are running very low on tread depth and near the end of there life. so to speak...

The IS200 doesnt have a MAF sensor..( I think the IS300 does)....i believe the IS200 has a MAP sensor....

S***t the little w****rs :tsktsk: really soz to hear about your car Asi ....does your insurance have vandalism cover like Directline insurance.....or is it not worth the money its printed on......?

Yeah cant wait to see this film ..loved the 1st one....the CGI is awsome.......also the young Megan Fox isnt to shabby either...... :winky: :P

Just try and be very soft on your brakes dont use prolonged hard stopping...if you go on motorways just ease back a little and gently feather them.......just common sense really...just dont go mad for a 50- 100 miles....

Yes 235 width fitment is fine on the styling kit "18" alloys...its the max you can go up to on a 7.5j "18" wheel...

Most if not all cars will have a slight tapping noise when its cold or very cold..i believe its normal as they are hydraulics tappets...the noise should go away after a few seconds.....

Ive got some mintex pads fitted to mine.....and yes they do tend to squel a bit not after hard braking but just feathering the pedal as you come up to a junction etc....AND YES the blooming brake dust is IMHO worse than OEM pads....after a couple of days the alloys are covered... :tsktsk:

WoW thats looks mental.....hope it arrives a.s.a.p

Thanx for all the messages :D a year older though..! :shutit: :P

Looking good Redz_uk.... :D

Just picked up the new June issue of Banzai magazine which has got a well sorted IS300 with a 2JZ-GTE supra engine under the hood,and thought i would let you all know if you fancy some light reading..... :D

Sweet looking car there Annes... :winky: :)

Well ive had new Top mounts replaced by lexus..i have had new shocks put on,and ive had the boys at WIM check both the top and bottom ball joints and they are ok.... :duh:

Get yourself a notebook cooler there about £20 ....if you block the vents up you could end up having your laptop pack up due to over heating....

I must also give a shout out to Tony and the boys @ WIM :D as i dont live far from them and i see them about all of the stuff to do with my car etc... They are always helpfull in dealing with problems like my shocks etc .....always go the extra mile to deal/solve problems for you.. :D
