Good man, how hard did you find it to do, and how much pas fluid did you get through.
Can be a bit messy tho if you rush it

Hi phil I used about 3ltrs of fluid to flush it through I used a cork to plug the hole but yeh must admit bit messy
Reminded me of being back on the challanger 2 tank if I'm honest with the smell of the old fluid
Defo need to change the belts where's the best place to buy them from

try camskill mate, dont know if they do PAS belts though

That's an excellent and detailed explanation on changing the PAS fluid Phil. I've done most things on cars in my life but I have never changed the power steering fluid and I must admit I wouldn't have a glue how to do it.
I think it would be a good idea if someone could transfer this to the Workshop how tos, unless you want to re-write it there:whistling:
For the belts I would recommend Gates belts there's a set on ebay at the mo http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEXUS-IS200-ALTERNATOR-BELT-AC-POWER-STEERING-BELT-/220463116623?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3354a0314f#ht_565wt_828 good price too.
