  1. Are these long life plugs ie 60,000miles? I thought you needed Denso IK20 are these the right ones?
  2. Will these work for the IS200 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DENSO-IRIDI...sspagenameZWD2V
  3. I'm trying to find cheap spark plugs for my IS200 I believe I need Denso Iridium IK20 but I can't seem to locate them on ebay? Can someone send me the URL? Thanks
  4. Hi I have a couple of question of my 60k service for an IS200 (51 reg) 1 When I press the Traction control button the light doesn't come on the dash as my previous car. What could be the proble? If its a simple fuse which I'm hoping it is where is the fuse located and where do I get one from. 2 Also the cambelt needs changing I need to buy the belt but whats the part number on the tensioner and idler? Do I have to change both the tensioner and idler? 3 Where's the cheapest place to buy an air,oil and pollen filter and should I go to Lexus for these or are OEM's OK? Thanks Sunil
  5. My car has 58,000 on the clock but it's a December 2001 so I suppose I should get the cambelt changed, but I do have a few questions. 1 Can I get away with it if I get the mechanic to do a visual inspection to determine any obvious signs on the belt? I know it's risky with no guarantees but I'll be selling it in about 12 months and I will only add another 4000 miles? 2 As well as the cambelt what else needs changing? I've been told there are two tensioners but only the larger one needs changing is this true? 3 How long would it take a competent mechanic to do the job? (so I can judge what he should be charging) 4 Does the mechanic need any special tools besides the obvious? 5 Is it a big job for the mechanic or is ir fairly straight forward? My mate had an Alfa and it was a nightmare!!! Thanks in advance
  6. Are these the correct ones for the IS200? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DENSO-IRIDI...sspagenameZWD2V Does anyone know of a cheaper palce?
  7. I need to buy spark plugs for my is200, I'm assuming I need 6? I'm going to buy it from ebay but there are two types NGK and Denso which one should I go for? Is there a difference? Thanks Sunil
  8. How do I PM you? I am interested maybe you can PM me? Thanks Sunil
  9. I've just bought an IS200SE (2001) last friday but I do have a few questions: 1 It will need the 60,000 mile service soon and I was hoping to buy the parts myself and get a local guy to fit them. The oil filter, airfilter and polen filter I'll buy direct from Lexus. Where's the cheapest place to buy spark plugs? I've heard ebay's pretty good but any advise? Lexus are charging £60 for 6 which seems steep. 2 What oil is best, fully synthetic, semi synthetic or magnatec (we'll be doing lots of short journeys) 3 The car will be 6 years in December is it wise to do the cambelt or shall I wait a while. I know it's every 100k or 6 years but it's done 60,000 so I was hoping to get away for it for a while. Anyone heard or a cambelt snapping? 4 There's a grinding noise towards the back driver wheel once I reach 40mph but disappears at low speed any idea on what it could be? Thanks in advance for all opinions and advice.
  10. I would have thought £5,000 was way too low. I'm thinking more like £6500 and I will be doing a HPI check. Parkers say it's £7,330 for a private sale????? Confused
  11. Hi, I've agreed to buy a Lexus IS200SE and hopefully will be picking it up on Saturday. Below are some of the details, what would be a cheap price for it. It's a private sale: IS200SE 2001 (51 Reg) 56K full service history all Lexus except for 1 (will need the 60k service) Silver No scratches or dents 6 months MOT and Tax 2 New front tyres HPI clear Current owners had it for 18 months and sounds genuine but there have been 4 previous owners. What price should I be targeting to get a really good deal, it's a private sale? Thanks
  12. I need to buy jump leads for my 2litre lexus There are loads on ebay but they have different amp ranging from 50amps to 600 which one do I need. Thanks Sunil
  13. Sold mine about 2 months ago as the mileage was creeping up. Also looking at 323and C180 (abviously with a bit of mileage) but just can't do it. I think it has to be a IS200. I've looked in the following place but if anyone has any other suggestions I'dd appreciate it: autotrader exchange and mart loot ebay gumtree
  14. I've been looking for IS200 for 2 months now but is it me or there aren't any decent ones around. If anyone is selling theres PM me I'd be interested: Any mileage. X reg or above SE model £7500
  15. 81,000 miles and thats lower mileage! ← Yep to me 81,000 is lower. My first one had 94,000 from what I've read mileage doesn't matter too much on the is200 provided it's been looked after. Everything works but if I buy it I'll get it serviced by a local garage and not Lexus as it would kill me. I'm thinking of http://www.nationwideautocentre.com They seem good take a look at what they check for a full service this looks more comprehensive than Lexus? I'm having second thoughts......81,000 on the clock is ok isn't it???
