    There's pretty much no price difference in maintaining a 200/300. Lexus Bristol has told me that the service plans are identical for a 200 and 300. As I've said before mate, my best friend drives a 300. He had his cambelt and water pump done at Lexus and cost him £480ish...also on the 300 you don't need to change the tensioner as apparently it's more robust so if anything it should be a cheaper job on the 300 compared to a 200.

    Be careful changing your own cambelt. I know someone who changed their own tensioner on a chain driven Honda S2000 and he didn't torque the tensioner back in properly, chain snapped!! Engine a mess, valves bent etc....

    £800!!! Never Panya! I paid £350 for just cambelt and tensioners, idler. With the water pump would've been just under £500...

    Hi Lee. Welcome to LOC :) Some pics would be great!

    Hi and welcome to LOC. The Aero wheels will bolt straight onto any 1st gen IS200/300 :) They are indeed rare, good luck finding a set. Also they don't come cheap. In mint condition your looking at £5-600 for 4 without tyres!

    I have the sane problem. Don't think there's an easy solution.....

    Ok I'm gonna go for it! What I'm worried about is that I have to do 20-30 odd miles on the motorway and there's no services so I don't know if I'll have the guts to turn onto the M4 with the fuel light on!
  10. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    I think this is the best I've ever achieved! I've not really been driving that carefully! Nearly all motorway. still not gonna get 400 tho!

    Wish I lived near Coventry.... Lol :)

    Congrats.... Nice 1 :) £20 for an MOT? Wow must be cheapest in the UK. I believe the VOSA recommended price is £54??

    Well tell us what it is Panya.... Or is it a secret? :)

    I'm coming from Swansea so mine will be completely filthy! And no I'm not stopping to clean it....
  15. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    That's them :) ^

    There's no need for you to quit the forum just cos you don't have a Lex mate! I'm still a active member of the Primera owners club and the Z car club and I own neither anymore. It's the people that make the forum what it is fella... Stick around :)

    Mileage/age shouldn't be an issue as long as its been well maintained and serviced regularly. :)
  18. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Do you still have the original OEM blades? If you do go down to your nearest Lexus dealer and they'll replace just the rubber for you for £20. These are the best. If however you don't have the original blades I found PIAA flat wipers are the best but not cheap. £40 for the pair.

    Way overpriced if it doesn't include plugs and not even an air filter.....
  20. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Yeah but there have been cases of the gasket going for a second time and Lexus won't do it twice for free. I'd be more inclined to look for one on its original head gasket with a full Lexus service history and around the 50-60k miles mark. That way if the worst happens Lexus will build you a new engine for free :)

    Hi and welcome to LOC :)
  23. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Cabin filter not on any service? Wow it's on every service including the 10k intermediate service on the 1st gen IS.
  24. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    Get them^^ lol :)
  25. ChrisIS200SportTTE
    I wouldn't buy those mate. Trust me the IS is a fussy thing when it comes to plugs. No difference between NGK and Denso that I can tell. I've had both types in my car. But buy one of those two brands and all will be well with your car :)
