Help For A Newbie Please

[Anubis]

Hi All,

I have recently purchased a imported harrier 1998. It is a lovely car, low mileage and I am a true believer in Lexus quality now. I have some questions which I hope some of you can answer.

I currently have the eagle front badge and was wondering how easy is it to remove and put a lexus badge on?. Do I have to replace the entire grill?

2. It has 16" alloys on it. The centre caps are toyota's. If I want to replace these what are the size do I require? 50mm or 60mm?

3. I currently have no locking wheel nuts, and I went to the local Halfords and found them very unknowledgable, saying that the yr 2000 RX 300 wheel nuts will not fit?, I would have to go to a toyota garage, is this true?.

4. The trip computer reads km/l and km/h. To convert this km/l to mpg do I have to times the figure in km/l roughly about 5?

Many thanks in anticipation,

A.

Welcome to LOC I hope you enjoy your car They are a superb model.

Q.1 A Lexus front L badge will fit on your existing grille. ( easy fix 10 mins)

Q.2. Measure the diameter of your existing centre caps then get the same size L ones.

Q.3. Locking nuts you should be able to pick up at any Alloy wheel centre.Or decent accessory outlet.

Halfords are a waste of time.

Q.4. Kmh / Mph. 100KM = 63 MPH

Hope this helps

Many Thanks again,

eBay has them on regular. Decent prices. I might have some in the garage. Let me know what the diameter is. You won't be on here long before you realise those 16"s Have GOT TO GO !!!
