    Yeh i agree. How long you had your car for?
  2. Vlad

    Rust

    Maybe because it's heavy?

    I think lexus is made more for luxury not performance. If you want a faster car then Lamborghini i suggest you honda civic 😂. Unfortunately i can't drive stick otherwise would get a civic. The automatic transmission is not good on them

    If it's really £80 then it's cheap. I can just buy the plugs and give to a mechanic to do it for me. Which model you guys have?

    Yeh that's not bad at all if they really change it lol because as we know some mechanics can lie and you can't check if it's done unless you see it yourself

    Where can i buy the original plugs, it's Denso but ik20 or ik22 ?. I guess is about £20 per plug and £30 to put them on. And you sure they change them? Lol. Pour out then use clean brush for next time also?

    Haha Indeed im supposed about Vlads in here. The service history it's from lexus and and the car looks like it's been in good hands. Just gonna go to a local garage on Wednesday to check everything up and see what they saying.i guess i got the car at the wrong mileage coz its the service time and i didn't know about it lol feeling a bit stupid coz need to spend extra money now. But i think break pads needs changing, oil, filter, spark plugs and put that thing for rust if the metal is not destroyed and the car is fine.

    Rust

    That's why i bought it coz everybody says it's reliable. But i guess if you do service every car on time and what it needs then it will be reliable. Also some people say you should service the gearbox and done say no, that's another completed thing lol. Hahah image. And it's even expansive to buy the tools i think, better but the parts and let a mechanic do it (if you trust him) coz plugs needs to be done once every 60k if im not wrong. And yes looks like breaks are issues on this car coz its heavy. I drive it on S mode and downshifting so won't use much break. To remove rusty stuff is a headache for sure lol

    Thanks guys, it's my first lexus btw. I suppose you can do lots of repairs by yourself on this car isn't it.

    Thanks mate. I'll let you know what mechanic says tomorrow. By the way the car has done 62k miles and i think spark plugs never been checked either, should i go for that too?

    Thanks for reply. Im not expert in cars and don't know how parts are called, i was looking to find the name of anti roll bar actually haha. So i just checked now the price of the anti roll bar and is not that expensive. But hopefully the place where it's attaches is not rusty, which is the body i suppose. Yes I'll go to mechanic tomorrow to check underneath also and scan it also. I was thinking to change the oil coz its a used car and it's good to be done, but the oil is so clean on the dipstick
