hi, if iam just running to work and back shopping ect work is around 9-10 miles each way i get around 280-290 miles per tank, mainly on A roads having had a 8 cars in my 7 years of driving this one i will be keeping for many years to come worth the running cost 100%. hope this help.

i to have an is300 which due a service at the end of this month, put a post up a week or so ago about best places to get the parts ect was told to check toyota as they use the same parts as lexus but cheaper, there one in romford essex (rm3) may be abit far for you try google for toyota garages near you may/may not work out cheaper for you !! worth a try tho.

hi welcome to loc

Bit late, was posted a while ago when they first got it, and again in February last year. http://www.lexusowne...=1 yer didnt see it then. i did stop to look at that one for a fair amount of time as i was looking lol

just looking at the worlds coolist police cars on msn and come across this one is-f look kinda cool !!! what do you think ?

ok thanks for the input guys, will give toyota a call in a few weeks need to save up a few pennys 1st lol, theres one about 30 minutea from me as for the timing belt that will have to wait and till later in the year, theres a guy that lives a few doors along from me that is a moblie mechanic will see how much for him to fit a new one if i get the parts less than £70 on ebay will check main dealer before buying tho, (if he can do it that is) not to worryed about the stemp in service book as i ant looking to sell the lexus for a long time to come, as long i have paperwork from buying the parts. thanks again.

hi guys, my is300 is due its service at the end of this month, 51 reg with 83k two things i would like to ask :- 1) when is the is300 due to have the timing belt changed ? 2) wheres the best place to get plugs oil filters ect which are the best to get k&n filters ? ngk plugs ? i live barking essex not far from london, having just done my gold menbership does any one know if there is any where i can get discount on these parts thats near to me ? thanks

thanks tigerfish, that ant so bad as i think he only give £850 about a year and half ago looked on eb*y mainly dealers seller them for silly money £1000-£1500 thanks again.

hi guys, my girlfriends dad is thinking of selling his gs300 due lack of use, he is also going to sell it with the plate M11 XUS its a mk1 10 months mot 4-5 months tax, red 130k only done about 1k in the last year what sort of money are these worth now ? thanks.

ok thanks for replying, whats the best way to go about doing this ? thanks again.

hi guys, hope every one had a great christmas (too much food) right i seem to have a problem with my is300 :shutit: if any one could help that would be great :winky: went to go out shopping yesterday and she would'nt start engine was turning over and was getting a buzzing sort of noise which sounded to me like the start motor spinning but not engaugeing, (might not have been) if this was the case would the engine have been turning over the girlfriends dad has a gs300 and said that it was the same noise he got trying to start his with no petrol (parked on a hill) i had 3/4 of a tank so i no thats not the reason. managed to get her started after 3 trys ended up with 2 ton of white smoke coming out the exhaust am hoping thats where the carb's may have flooded went out to work this morning (2.30am) didnt have no buzzing type of noise but took a little longer to start than normal and had to push the accelerator a little, but when i finshed work this morning (11am) she started as normal could this be a one off or some thing more my main worry is ending up out some where and she not starting and having to wait for hours for recovery, but at the same time i dont want to spend money if i dont need to what with xmas, road tax, driving licence renewal, all in the same month. many thanks tony.

+1 on that :) never had any probs with them either. Andy yep me to not used them online, but use to go in one that was near me so much i was on 1st name terms with the store manager.

i know what you mean, when we get it within a few days it has gone again not good living so close to london.

send sum to the s/e only had about 1-2" of slush !!!! lol

cant see on ebay. are they on wheels? any more info on tread, cost etc. PM set with item number was looking at them today wrong size for me.

ok thanks bob king ;)

thanks, was just looking online tyre calculator on there if i work backwards on the size they say to stay within 2.5% with putting 205-55-16 on its comes back that its 1.06% will this not be ok i also put in the 185-60-16 which does come back at 0.5% which is closer i know, how much difference will that 1.1% make to fuel ect

was going to put them on my normal alloys but most places near me are charging £10 per wheel to change the tyres which will end up being £80 each year, :o was'nt sure what size tyre i would need if i changed to 16" alloy now i no "(205-55)" thanks :winky: if i can find a cheap set of 16" alloys then will go down the road does any one know what other lexus wheels have the same stud pattern as the is200/is300 thanks again.
