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.
