My Service

99 V IS200 SE, 70k service.

Cheers Simon, directions were spot on mate.

Service went ok, brake fluid was really dark so they said it needed replacing. Cost £226.67 in total - and being a GOLD MEMBER saved me around £30 :D

Water pump has leaked at some point, was told to keep an eye on it.

Front disks need skimming on replacement but they said it can wait till the 80k service.

Rear shock (O/S) is leaking, but are usually replaced in pairs so said it would be best to wait till the 80k service. I can't remember exactly how much, but i was told new shocks will cost £320 or similar - will it be more beneficial to me to by uprated non factory shocks?

Hope the water pump holds out, the technician told me it'll take around 3 hours to replace, at £80+ VAT for labour + the price of the pump Ive just gotta keep checking my temp, coolant level and radiator.

Nice place, felt very at home. Craig Brown was a nice man, helpful.

Mine has just had it's 40k service and has the same problem with the water pump. It's going in a couple of weeks for that to be fixed and the front ball joints too. Shame it's just out of warranty. :(
