Collected the LS today after getting the aircon sorted and having new engine and tranny mounts fitted. Now I have lovely ice-cold air (not that it's needed as I write; weather's horrible) and a lovely smooooooooooth vibration-free engine. The very slight vibration I felt through the steering wheel at idle has now completely disappeared (using genuine Lexus parts). I kid you not. I decided to get the mounts replaced in order to banish an occasional single 'thump' I would hear from underneath when first cranking the engine from cold. I had the work done at Japex near Hemel Hempsted.. They are a brilliant outfit. Two Lexus trained lads who specialise in Japanese motors. Their customer care and service is second to none. They charge reasonable rates too and nothing is too much trouble. I can't rate them highly enough. Anyway, I'm off now to try the champagne glass 'ripple' test!

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie from the North East. Always wanted to own a Lexus IS200 and after a long and patient wait, I eventually managed to get my hands on a gem of a car. Picked up a 2001 model in black with 83000 miles, which has been cared for very well by previous owners. Interior is outstanding and even the original mats are in good condition, obviously been washed regularly. Only work I have done so far is cleaning, polishing and refurbished the calipers as they were in a sorry state. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Lexus OC mobile app

Very nice looking motor. Good job on those calipers!

Hello and welcome to the LOC. Could you correct some of the prices Lexus charge for parts like LS400 Upper Control Arms at £521.00 :)
