Just got my is250 used a few months ago and I noticed last week that the rev counter goes up a few k when accelerating on the motorway!
I figured the clutch is starting to go so I phoned up a local independent for a quote and they said the DMF needs replacing with the clutch for a total of £1300.
Not really what I wanted to hear after only owned the car for a short time :(
I am doing som reading and it seems the DMF is a weak link and that it can be replaced by a single mass flywheel to make it more robust. I can't find any thing on this conversion anywhere so far and figured this would be the absolute best place to ask.
So a few things
Is this a common fault?
Is it likely the clutch that's gone here, or could it be the DMF as well?
Should I replace the clutch or both the clutch and the DMF?
Should I replace both with a new single mass and presumably the associated clutch & spring kit? If so what do I use?
I have a Lexus is250 with a 57 plate.
Hope someone here can help me out a bit.
