JK aside get a new Mechanic.

They're not the same engine. How about you start maybe explaining your engine problems.

Echoing above, the 350 and 250 do NOT use the same engine. I'd say find a new mechanic, but to be fair, I'm pretty sure Lexus doesn't have a physical presence at all in Nigeria so it's not like they would know any better. Unless, this mechanic only works on Lexus models, then I would def find a new mechanic.

You'll likely have to source an engine online/overseas, but you'll need to find out where your car was imported from and source the engine from there as some emissions controls and what not from say a US model aren't necessarily compatible with a JPN model.
