Looks really good. Can wait for a IS-F meet and look at the car in flesh. Any ideas when the next meet will be?

With the dealers pricing varying so much; does anyone know what the cost is to change discs and pads all round, labour only at lexus?

Hi James, How did you get on? I am currently looking for some pads for front and rear. I have ordered discs all round (brembo) I ended up paying £318.00 for all four. I am still deciding between Hawk, EBC (yellow stuff) and Porterfield. Any recommendations would be welcome from people that may have any of the above. I know Peter is a big fan of Porterfield and I have read some very good reviews of them on the forums. However, equally I have read good reviews of Hawk and EBC. I am currently on the second pair of EBC (redstuff) on my Golf R32 and I have been very pleased with them. Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers Sully

Hi guys, Just thought I would let you all know I had my water pump replaced under warranty today. I have been on the US website and many owners did not know they had a leak until they checked as the coolant level decreases slowly. The easiest way to check is to lift the bonnet and then shine a torch towards the bottom left of the engine. If you can see pink crust then your water pump is leaking. My advice would be to check yours in case it is leaking. Sully

Mine is 08. It did not come with warranty. I purchased warranty when it went in for servicing around 6 weeks ago. I got the 2 years for the price of 1 extended warranty. I have been on the US owners site and a few people on there were not even aware their pump was leaking until they checked. My advice would be to check yours. When you lift the bonnet just shine a torch towards the bottom left of the engine. If you can see a dried stream of pink crust then the pump is leaking.

I would most definitely recommend the warranty. I noticed the coolant level was down. Checked with torch towards the left side of the engine and could see coolant that had crust up on the outside. Car went into dealers and warranty has covered for a new water pump. Will be collecting car later today. Sully
