GS300

Hello all

Just bought a 05 reg, mark 3 GS300. Needs a bit of work, exhaust and possibly water pump/belt. The alloys are dire, so again a bit more TLC needed. Looking forward to sorting it out, lovely comfortable car.

I live in South Devon, are their any Lexus specialist near to here.

Please let me know.

 

Thanks

 

Mark

Hi Mark, welcome to the LOC and congratulations on becoming a Lexus owner.

I don’t think there are any aftermarket exhausts made for any Lexus model and OEM are very expensive for mild steel, many members have opted for a custom stainless steel cat back system which works out both cheaper and longer lasting.

Lexus alloys are renowned for corrosion and a full strip and repaint is the way to go.

If you don’t have a confirmed cam belt change date just do it along with all the other associated bits including the water pump.

Go for a branded kit (usually Aisin) and take a look at Rockauto.com for parts as even with shipping and VAT they are usually half the UK price.

Thanks for the welcome.

Steve thanks for all the additional info. Who would have thought that importing parts from the USA with all duties paid, could be cheaper than the UK.

Will definitely check them out.👍👍
