Hey guys,

I am 99% either blokes will look after my car without dramas however I was just wondering who would be better suited to do a major service on my 1998 LS400.

Niall in botany or Nathan at Grey imports?

I have used them both before and have been happy with both.

Major being a 200,000 service. The car has a full service history up to 191000kms so I believe the 200000 i should do engine oil, trans oil um what else ?

Adam, check the service books, you may be looking at timing belt and water pump? I someone who got their JZZ30 200,000K service done with Niall and he did timing belt / water pump again.

Hopefully it doesn't need it though, that'd be pretty expensive.
