Bro I doubt if you will get a quick response on that engine here, I will advice you go to ladipo if you are in LAGOS or state the location you are and someone will definitely help you with the closest location to get a good one.

Thanks sultaan you can help by quoting price of the original thing and possibly pictures to help this person and others looking to get the said part.

serious? What's the price of the original?

Hello,
Can someone tell me the price of a complete engine for Lexus Rx300 2001 model?
Thank you

Belt is indeed not an "original" part at that price. OEM or good aftermarkets like Aisin etc, cost much more. I've had trouble with cheap fake belts before, so I now order all mine abroad - of course only possible when you have someone there willing to help you out.

That's exactly the problem in Nigeria. From my enquiries and observation through spare parts dealers, most car owners prefer the cheap fake and substandard products. Hence, spare parts dealers have invested huge in importing these substandard parts with quicker turnover and profit. It is even worsened by the fact that there is no Government regulations in terms of the quality of products that come into Nigeria.

However, a few car owners desire to pay for quality but can hardly find them available in the market. Recently, I went to buy the timing belt of my vehicle (3MZ 3.3 FE) engine. Because I had seen the one in my vehicle while changing water pump, I was not satisfied with the belt the dealer presented to me. After explaining to him the type I wanted, he said I can never get that in any spare parts shop in Abuja. That if they import that quality, nobody will buy it. I was planning to place an online order for it when he called me from Dubai to say that he saw my specification and how much it costs. I told him to buy it. A week later, I went to his shop to pay and pick it. Surprisingly, someone (apparently a mechanic) who also came to buy parts asked if I intended to use my car till old age for buying that kind of quality at that price (N13500).

Evidently, by extension, peopls's perception in Nigeria about a given product is tied to the relative small amount they can pay for an equivalent or a close substitute of the same product even if quality is compromised.

It is a VW iyana itire would be his best bet.

If your car still use 3 belts it should be N2500 minimum serpentine belt should be around N6000 minimum. The belts should las 5-8 years easily manufacturers recommend you change them every 5 years or 60000 miles .How often do you change the 1000 naira belts?

Can you advice me on the quality of this rotor?

Average cost in Nigeria is N50k. Infact Briscoe and Emordi parts(best dealer for genuine Toyota and Lexus parts) sells N120k for the same part.

i am also considering this

if u are buying from amazon and u don't have an idea of d quality of the product, best bet is the reviews from those who have bought and used. Based on dat I think the timing belt and water pump are high quality. Before u conclude on fair price, check the shipping weight of d items. That could be a kill joy.

Front passenger side of honda accord DC could be fixed at #8000 for clear not tinted in Lagos

Rotors and brakes are very cheap I usually buy the generic brands because they last along time for regular driving. usually change rotors every other brake change and most will easily last 5 years.I bought my jeep in '08 and changed both after 5 years but it was still good.even the rotors on the 2000 jeep was the one from factory still had the clips on it

You don't need the slotted ceramic stuff, semi metallic and mid price rotors are good enough.

The brakes and rotors on my ford with 90k miles on it is still factory. Most wont even drive 90k miles in Nigeria after 10 years.
