Thanks, mine also has the same residue. Another common fault (key barrell being the other one) that my Lexus has. Appreciate your help.

Thanks to all for the advice much appreciated and well recieved. I also think they are pulling a fast one and the attitude and knowledge of the service guy isnt going to win the garage any awards for customer service. I will try another garage in the hope there is a decent one out there and get a second opinion.

Sorry meant to write, might not need replacing, obviously.

Not sure where its leaking from all they said was it was leaking. Just called them and queried it and they admitted that it migh need the belt changing after all. Amazing what a difference 5 minutes and a bit of knowledge can do. They will re-quote. The other thing they said was the frame needs re-allignment, which can take up to another 2 hours and £180. Ergonomic machine required apparently??? Can any Lexus dealer be trusted?

T Reg 99. IS200.

Just been given a quote of £2k to change a water pump on my IS200. Needs a new CamBelt apparantely as cant do one without the other. Quote was from Lexus in Bracknell. Sounds well OTT to me. Am i right?

Just joined this so forgive me if this has already been covered but is it easy changing the spark plugs on an is200? Not lifted the bonnet to even attempt yet so could be asking a completely stupid question but... Found a great deal of good information so far so glad i joined.
