Hi all, My lexus Is200 ltd yellow edition has some high kays and seeing that I want to keep the vehicle I was hoping to do the required servicing on it by myself and via a local mechanic when required. Naturally I have been after the workshop manual, for the Australian Build IS200 1g-fe. Not the US IS300 which has a different engine for which a workbook seems to be posted. As quoted by lexus of brisbane the complete workbook is made of of three parts, Part 1 - $122.00 Part 2 - $175.56 Supplement - $14 They have to be shipped down from sydney too. I'd be keen to get one of these but for a total of $312 I was hoping to find a cheaper alternative? Any ideas? |

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Lexus-IS200-300-wor...VQQcmdZViewItem Has anyone bought one of these from ebay? Are they worth the 30 dollars or so it will cost? |

Because the IS300 and IS200 have different motors in them and i'm guessing different driveline suspension I would think not. My investigation showed that the ebay manual was definately the best way to go and I have heard from other users that it is quite handy to own! |

You know a good mechanic just requires the necessary computer for interfacing with the Lexus ECU to check engine warnings and the like. But apart from that, servicing an IS200 is no different to any other car - keep things tight, replace consumables and wearing parts where necessary. By necessary, i mean dependant upon the useage of the car. There are no hard and fast rules for servicing, and while manuals say - replace t-belt at 100k, for example, if your thrashing your car around town every day, you may wear through the belt quicker. A visual inspection will reveal if it is wearing quicker. IS Motor Racing here in Sydney service a few of our cars in the club, and i've got nothing but praise for their work. Better than what i was getting from Lexus. |
