Steve, do you have any achieves of the old forum?
could anyone help?
Hello PPL

Hi,
My is done 74060 yesterday. Yes you are right. I will not lose any sleep over the tensioner, idler or the water pump.
Will fix it when they are broken. The only reason I do the timing belt is it will be "behind economical repaired" if it went.
I wish there is a easier way to inspect the timing belt. How about make the cover transparent? he he
Felix
Good Question.
There is a very wide accepted practice that you do the tensioner and the idler and water pump at the same time.
I don't buy that.
"In 25 years of working for TOYOTA, I never replaced one because of it's broke, water pump yes, there is no need if it is not leaking" - the TOYOTA specialist said.
I am happy to pay £150 for the job. and keeping eyes on it every service or every 10K.

Just want to share the cheapest timing belt change
£O.E. timing belt £18.01
Lab: £130 inc VAT and O.E coolant. (TOYOTA specialist)
this is what he took out from my car.
He he .....
Very Lucky Felix..........
So glad to see a few familiar names.
Yes people do move on after a while, I noticed a interesting trend (tendency if you like) which is a few of old members here bought a Discovery or other kind of 4X4 after a while.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Sorry for being off the topic,
I quite like the idea of Carbon wrapped bonnet, anyone has any pics PLEASE
any idea the cost? and if any recommendations in midlands area?
thanks
Felix
bump in to a 4X4 last week.
Any one have a spare driver-side rear light for a 03 IS200?
PM me
Many thanks
Felix
P.S. sorry couldn't "start new topic" in buy and sell section.
why not, I can't see the reason.
don't try to find a cheap place to do that is the advice. 1600 - 1800 would be reasonable.
Good luck.
Felix
P.S. Make sure you find someone has done a few of these and insists a flash lube kit is needed.
O sharp tank is waste of time, get a big one behind the seats.
agree with above.
the gauge will reset every 150 miles itself. it happens on our old RX300 and my IS too.
you will get use to it after a few tanks
Felix
1st thing to check is if your tyres are balanced.
2nd thing is trying to find where the vibration came from, eg, front or back or engine bay
3rd thing to check is if the "shaking" only happens on a specific speed band, such as your said 65-75, how about over 75? (you may have to go to a private road to test that )
Good luck
I am sure you will have people to help you out when you have more details reported back to here.
