The belts are, alternator on right and aircon and power steering belts on left and of course timing belt under plastic covers.

Also, if you are going to phone, you can try one than one dealer if your nearest one is not particularly helpful. Staff at Lexus Hedge End (Southampton) are always extremely helpful. I recommend that you speak with Dan in sales or Julie in the service department. If they can't answer your question, they'll go find out from you and get a techie to phone you back.

We will let you off with the BMW slip up.......But are you sure you want the highlighted comment on a family forum... :lol: Nearly fell off my chair!!

After a couple of days with "C" firmware i am a happy camper. not a glitch!! But i want it too work an week more before i am convinced that it is fixed.

Just remember that there are no effective ways of making the IS200 more economical, so don't waste money on pointless nic-nacs like Induction Kits, Exhaust modifications, Filters etc all of which claim to improve mpg but do not and don't stand up to proper testing. The only ways to minimise fuel consumption are the usual - correct tyre pressures, everything running properly, brakes that do not bind etc., and keeping the weight of crap you lug around down to a minimum. Most importantly learning to drive it like a smooth six and not like a stolen Fiesta on a track day. Enjoy it. The IS200 is a great car and set new standards.

Come on boys everyone is allowed their own opinion or take on the subject and because we don't agree with it doesn't make us right. Big smiles all round just like when we are driving our LS's. Mike
