hellow GB, Sorry for the lag in replying. Thank you for your reply and and advice. There happens to be an independent garage not foar from my home. I've been there before, and know it's reputable. I may drop down to have it give the car an evaluation then compare notes. The car sits a lot, but it's getting close to 26k now. The budget can use a break, but the maintenance will be taken seriously as the car is in like-new condition. thanks again, Flyby

My wife's '05 Es330 has barely turned 25k miles, and has been garaged since day 1, only driving in snow once for a brief period. Her dealer recommends she have the timing belt and the water pump replaced. The watyer pump just because it's there to get at. We've performed routine maintenance but the mileage being so low, I'm not certain I need to replace the water pump. How about hoses? Those weren't mentioned as needing replacement. not dried out, I guess. I did replace the tires after 7 years on age alone, but sort of worn down though Abe's head was not covered.Opinions, please? thank you
