hiya, new to the forum and ive just bought a 1999 lexus is200 but it failed mot last week
failure sheet was
-nsf tyre below minimum tread depth
-front brake pads below 1.5mm
-nsf brake binding
-front (joint) exhaust has major leak of exhaust gasses
-exhaust emissions lambda reading after 2nd fast idle out of specified limits
advisories
-RBT front brake imbalance 25%
-nearside rear indicator slightly discoloured
-nearside front anti roll bar linkage slightly distorted
-offside front anti roll bar linkage slightly distorted
-rear exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gasses
-front brakes only just met the front brake imbalance requirements. needs adjustment or repair
Now, im going to be ordering the parts and getting the car back upto standard and on the road, currently looking at perelli pzero tyres to match whats on the car (225/45/17) looks like im going to have to pay £100 a tyre unless you guys know anywhere thats a little cheaper?

front brake pads ive found mintex ones for £20 a set
rears are £18.90
I shall be giving the calipers an overhaul
the disks look perfectly fine that are on the car, so dont need to buy new.
Exhaust i shall look at this week, if it needs replacing i'll buy new.
The car has covered just over 62k, im wanting to service it and make sure its running tip top.
What oil and filter do you reccomend?
air filter?
coolant?
Also noticed one of the belts needs replacing (auxillery/alternator) could anyone tell me the size i need to replace this one?
and its missing the ribbed belt for the Air con, if anyone knows the size for that?
any help with the above would be brilliant
Cheers
Danny
