Lexus LS400 service - advice needed
Discussion
My dad's LS400 (P reg) is in for an "A" service at the moment - this is the lesser of their two regular types of service.
However, there are a number of things that had cropped up and that's made us baulk at the cost given its mileage (304,000) and age. They are :
Front main oil seal leaking
EGR pipe split (no idea what this is?)
Power steering pump leaking
Rear pads worn out.
They've quoted £2115 all in, which seems just a touch excessive to me, even considering it's a main dealer.
Ideally he'd like to keep it as it still runs fantastically, is in nop notch nick inside and, barring a couple of minor scrapes on one corner, outside. Mainly because its prime function has been motorway cruising really. Plus the cost of replacing it with something equivalent is, I imagine, going to be prohibitive.
So I guess I'm after two things
1) Can anyone recommend a decent indy in the Reading area who have experience of Lexii (I've been watching too much Alan Partridge)
2) Confirmation (or lack of) that all these things do indeed generally cost that much.
