  1. Hi All, About 4 weeks ago my GS which I've owned for 6 years without a problem like this,started misfiring? up on inspection by a mechanic mate we found spark plugs 2 & 5 full off water we fitted 6 new plugs and dried everything out and hay presto engine ran like dream till yesterday then it started misfiring again and yes plugs 2 & 5 were full of water again? The plugs looked like they had been in for years all rusted up? We replaced the two dried out the leads and again engine run like a dream, what we can't work out is how the water is only getting In these two plugs only? (No lose of coolant) Has anyone else had the same problem? Cheers Eric
  2. Hi Rob,Could you let us know what your solution was please as I have the same problem and I aint paying lexus for two new hubs. Cheers Eric
  3. Hi, I had the same problem about 2 years ago and lowrideruk is right £2000 from lexus and then fitting and vat on top, I got a second hand one through 247 spares for £600 and £150 for fitting at a local garage I use, been ok ever since.
  4. Hi All, Anyone going the Tatton park sports and classic car show nexy weekend on sat/sun 22/23 Aug 09?
  5. That does surprise me,Did you ring euro car parts or euro parts there are two differant companies, Just to prove I paid £37.70 here is a photo of the invoice all i can say someone at euro car parts made a big boob if you phoned the right one, but a good one for me LOL
  6. Hi, Give Euro Car Parts a call, I used the Chester branch and had to be picked up of the floor with shock at the best price ever £37.70 including the vat yes £37.70 each, how they can charge £144 on ebay and even more at lexus is beyond me.
  7. Hi satnam, Have you sorted your problem out yet? I had the same problem not long after buying my 1999 GS300 sport with the same lights staying on, it turned out to be the master brake booster as Lexus call it to me and you its just the master brake cylinder in any other car but more fancy, and i'm sorry to say very expensive new from Lexus £2500 quid plus fitting I sourced a second hand one for £650 plus £150 for fitting, I did see one on eBay a while ago now for £1500, hope this helps.
  8. Hi all, Thanks for the tips, But she died on me today would not turnover at all, wasn't the battery, it did turn out to be the starter motor after all £108 for a recon and £30 for fitting, (not at a Lexus dealer either LOL) the garage said they have never ever changed a starter on a Lexus till now ( just my luck) and I thought these Lexus's were supposed to be reliable and bom proof, that's a starter and brake booster in 18 months on a 70000 mile car? £1000 spent approx, getting like the Fords and Jags ive had, but at the end of the day all cars can go wrong whether its a cheap car or a super car, but she's great to drive.
  9. Hi All, Can anyone help me, The problem i have is that when I put the key in the ingnition the steering wheel comes out as normal I turn the key will not start it does this 3 or 4 times then starts all the lights come on the dash, could this be the starter motor or something else i say starter but it does not make a clicking noise like other cars ive had when the starter packs in. Thanks Eric
  10. Hi All, At last I have some pics of my black Tom's GS300 sport, sorry about the wait I have added alot of TOM'S and L-Tuned aftermarket parts, new tyres,rear lights, F & R upper and lower strut braces, clear side repeaters to wings and door mirrors with more to come hopefully. http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/c...er/P3021326.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/c...er/P3021328.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/c...er/P3021337.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/c...er/P3021324.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/c...er/P3021323.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/c...er/P3021322.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/c...er/P3021329.jpg http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh102/c...er/P3021335.jpg
  11. you need to connect the ac control wire to wire 5 of your ac control main harness. then connect the data wire to the tilt and teloccopic ecu wire 7 the white one . next to the steering column under the dash. the speed sensor can also be connected to the tilt and telocopic. you need connectors for the nav unit and a y connction for the pioneer digital amp to get the navigation voice commands frrom your drivers door speaker. also 16 foot sheilded wires to go to the 1999 disc drive computer which is located in the trunk. it took me 2 days working 12 hours a day to do the install with a perfect functioning system i have also installed the latesat nav system dvd disc computer system from a 2005 into a 99 gs300. that took me 4 days of 12 hours a dayto do the install. its kind of like mountaijn climbing for me. they said it couldnt be done so i diid both the 99 gs nav into 99 gs300 and the 2005 gs nav nav in the 99 gs300. the gs is the only lexus which had the same dash fitting from 99 to 2005 making the newer nav conversion possile. the ls430 changed dash size so no retrofit to the 99 2000 ls400 possiblre. Hi All, I have now had my 1999 Lexus gs300 for 7 months and loving it, I have got hold of a touch screen radio from another 1999 gs300 but without the satnav from the boot, i was told the system would be a straight swop by a local radio shop, but we all now know the answer to that, I was wondering if any one has done what Piodx has said above themselves, and does the radio /cd work ok without the satnav? I have sent piocdx a PM ages ago but he's not answered.
  12. Thanks for the replies, Yes LFC doe's stand for the Mighty Reds 5 times champion league winners soon to be 6 hopefully :winky: :) , I don't pick the car up till friday, then i will take some pics over the weekend after giving her a wash & polish.
