Water Pump

[sercombe]

Been to Lexus Stockport today and very poor service. I asked them to check over the car they said they would valet it and the things I told them to look at they never bothered to and secondly never valeted and I saw one of their mechanics driving it with no cover on the seat. NOT A VERY HAPPY PERSON AT ALL!!!

Anyway they came back telling me I need front discs and pads and a new water pump with bypass. quoted me £489 for the water pump and bypass and £295 for pads with skimming discs. Anyone got a rough price on the parts and labour for theses jobs as I am aware from previous experience with Lexus stockport they add a % on higher than the other dealers????????????????

Did you ring steve at charlesworth motors ?

[sercombe]

yes I rang him about the service, he quoted me £200 labour charge while i go and get the parts. To be honest once id priced all the parts up it didnt work out any cheaper than what a garage in stockport would charge but I just have to accept that the service will cost near enough £600 because of it being a major service.

I took it to Lexus stockport just for a check over to tell me whats wrong with it with no work being carried out. Its costing me some money this car is.

Have you tryed chris s for the parts you wanting ?

water pump new on eBay still in the box in Oldham to :D

What parts are you after eg. cam belt air filter oil filter etc. ?

[sercombe]

Parts Im after is: -

Engine Oil

Oil Filter

Air Filter

Pollen Filter

Anti Freeze (Replace)

Gear Box Oil (Replace)

Spark Plugs (x6)

Timing Belt

Tensioner

Idler

All that from Lexus is roughly £325. The most expensive parts are the Idler and tensioner as these are £55 each. thats a 60k mile/6 year service. Plus £200 for the labour charge in Glossop = £525. Ive booked my car into a local Merc/lexus/porche dealer for thurs for £570. they are local and they givin me a courtesy car. i just thought it wasnt enough of a saving to bother having to get the parts myself.

The Saving is probably need now i need a water pump and brakes as well. Lexus say i have frotn brakes 90% worn. should this of passed the MOT last week? hmm???

Anyone that can save me any money on these parts then i can be tempted to go to glossop and cancel my appointment for thursday.
