Hi Folks
Just joined, thought it looked a good place to place to get some help and guidance with owning a Lexus - even though i have had it for over 4 years lol
Hope to make a bit of a contribution as well as learn a thing or two

Hey folks, i've stumbled across this site a few times through various search engines but now decided to join. Hope to catch up with you soon.
New / Second Cylinder Head
in Engine & Transmission
Posted
I made the mistake of taking my IS200 to my regular garage for a service. 6 months down the line the engine management light is flashing like disco light. The short of the story is, according to Lexus, whoever replace the sparke plugs knackered the thread on the sparke plug and therefore knackered my Head Cylinder. Lexus being Lexus is asking for £2500 to replace it, excuse me while i pick my jaw off the floor i thought. They then confessed £2100 would be labour costs, i nearly fell off my chair as i thought, i should be a mechanic. I have no intention of letting the garage off scott free and am seeking damages but i fear it will be a long drawn out process. For the moment i just want to get the car back on the road so I can enjoy driving it again.
Anyway, so what i was thinking is, if i was to go to smaller garage, how much could i expect to pay for the cylinder head if purchased online and how many hours labour could it take and cost?
