Hi I want to hard wire a satnav into my mk1 gs300 but need an easy place to link into a power supply, has anyone got any suggestions. My cig lighter socket in the front does not work and I think it would mean I have to take out the tray to fix it which I dont even know how to do! Therefore am thinking about just hard wiring the wires for a satnav by wiring in an additional cig lighter source then plugging the factory stanav cable into that whihc could be hidden away somewhare, then I just feed the factory wire around the dashboard etc.

yes that still works ok, any ideas whats wrong? also every time I turn the engine on with the wipers not turned on the wipers still do a few swipes up and down about 3 inches very weird. Whats wrong, has anyone experienced this.

Hi my 1996 GS300 Sport has developed a strange intermittent problem with the front wipers, when I set the stick control to intermittent (first click down) the wipers move up and down about 4 times for only say 3 inches then nothing. Once I flick the switch to on full the next click down on the stick the wipers work fine. I have noticed however that the wipers do not wipe to the full extent that they used to meaning not to the side of the drivers side windscreen they stop around 2 inches short of where they used to. Nothing is different when the wipers are positioned in snow position or standard position (slightly raised or lowered when off) It also makes no difference when I move the frequency control, they just dont come on in the first position. This fault developed about a week ago, the strange thing is that sometimes they work ok and I do not have this problem all the time. From a previous post a long time ago I noticed the slight up and down movement 3 inches or so for a number of times but back then nobody knew why this was happening. Does anyone know what is going wrong with my beloved GS?

Ebay seller hve them sometimes. In the end I had problewms with my two back boxes it was cheaper to have a custom stainless cat back system made up whihc I got from a good place local to me for around £600 a very good deal.

Thanks for the advice i will take a look over the weekend when I next get some time. I know that the rear cig lighter is still working for sure as I tried my charger with that and it was still working so it may be the broken socket as you describe. I can remember if the clock was working now so will have to check. I will update you on how I get on.

Hi I popped in a phone charger the other day and now my front lighter does not work in my mk1 gs300 the rest of the console is fine ie the radio and aircon pods. I have had a problem in the past where a different item blew toat fuse which seemed to power all of the equipment in the centre console. i am a bit stuck now. What coul dbe wrong. Is there a seperate fuse just for the cigarette lighter aswell and where is it exactly?

I am pretty sure that if you have the correct model fob and follow the procedures in the guides that are in this forum then you will be able to re-programme the other fobs. I have done it before with a fob that was always kept as a spare as I think after a good while they lose their memory/ settings. It should be fine if you just follow the instructions on the site. search for the threads and you will have your answer.

Thats brilliant thanks for your help much appreciated.

Hi iI have a MK1 GS300 sport with the 10 inch rears its costing me a bomb to keep it in tyres so considering changing the rims. Will a standard 16 inch supra set of rims 8j front 9j rear fit my mk1 gs300? they have 225 40 16 tyres and 245 40 16 tyres on them right now would that suit my car ok?

That light is not an engine warning light. It is a brake warning. If your brake fluid is low it could be causing the light to illuminate. Check your fluid level and if it is low try to find out why it is low. Most likely cause is (hopefully) just pads wearing. As dave says its the brake warning light looks like ( ! ) on the console. If its not fluid or pads have a look at your handbrake signal wire as well might be a loose connection Thanks guys thats good to know think fluid just needs a top up. Nothing major everything is running mint now.

The light that comes on is the red one on the dash with the " ! " symbol. What does that mean? What could that be?

Hi I have a mk1 gs300 and in the last couple of days I have had the engine warning light come on when I am braking quite hard just for a second then it goes off again. its only happened in the last couple of days. any ideas what it could be. recently I have had new rear tyres fitted, topped up the oil but its going for an oil and filter service today and fitted a injen air filter. would any of those cause the issue. the car runs mint and little things like this really bug me any ideas help please!

Hi there can you recommend a company that I can use to get a custom exhaust made up for my Mk1 GS300 Sport? i would like to go off someones recommendation rather than just go to any old shop. If its in the midlands even better! Thanks,
