[tonyr5500]

hi there,

iam in need of a exhaust gasket that goes between the down pipe and the cat, have looked online and can not seem to find any thing in the uk, have called eurocarparts as soon as i got as far as exhaust gasket and lexus he replyed main dealer, kwitfit what to rip me off and tryed to sell me a new exhaust before even looking at it (and that was on the phone!!!!!). can any one help as to where i can find one of these gaskets ? without having to pay main dealer prices !!

many thanks.

Have you tried LEXUS for a price

Don't just assume main dealer is always expensive.

Sometimes have good deals - recently people buying batteries for example found dealer was best.

Worth checking with them just in case.

Some do mail order - One through these forums here

An impact gun is a labour saver on jobs like this,I got myself one from Aldi a while ago,12 volt cigar lighter operation,never failed yet.

exhaust fixed ;) well almost just the join n/s back box to look at seem to have sum water/condensation dripping from it only a small amount tho,

this ended up being one of them jobs that you think will only take 30-60 minites !!!! no try 4.5 hours because the last owner or may be the one before that new the gasket was in need of replacing instead of doing what i just have and probable every one else that has a gs300 and spend £11 plus an hour's work, :iraqi-info-minister:

no they spent £40+ getting it welded by a cowboy that didnt do the whole thing only the side bits where the bolts go but they also welded the dam bolts, :megaangry: so out came the angle grinder not the easyist of jobs i must say but got there in the end after a few choice words ok more than a few .

thanks again to every one that helped, :winky:

i seem to have a new issue which i will start a new post for
