  1. Colin many thanks for the input, I dont have the details of these will try and get them in the next few days. Colin I have now managed to get the error codes, they are P0300 (Random misfire), P0301 (Misfire on cylinder one), P0302 (Misfire on cylinder two), P0304 (Misfire on cylinder four), P0306 (Misfire on cylinder six), do you know if there is any way of getting any additional info on the possible causes of these codes?

  3. I had the same problem and if your only getting say 5 miles to the gallon then Aberdeen Lexus told me it was the o2 sensor there is 3 of them and its best to replace all 3 at same time hope this helps m8! Begards, B Many thanks for the feedback. The problem does not appear to be affecting the fuel consumption, still getting roughly 5 miles per litre, just intermitently struggles to accelarate, for those old enough to remember such mechanics it is like the float valve in the carburetor occasionally gets stuck and not enough fuel is getting through.
  4. I have a 2001 RX300 that I have driven for several years, the car has now done more than 144k miles and so far I have been very pleased with the car and Lexus service. Several weeks ago I started experiencing a problem when the engine warning display started flashing, then went on fully, quickly followed by the Vehicle Stability Check (VSC) light. Lexus dealer read the error code as a random misfire on several cylinders. The problem has progressed with the symtoms now being an intermittent lack of power, all the plugs and power packs have been replaced, the engine warning light does not now flash but the VSC light is on continuously. The lack of power "feels" as if there is no fuel getting through. The car had an LPG conversion some 80k miles ago and the problem manifests itself on both fuels. Lexus suggested compression testing and this showed a small reduction on one of the front three cylinders but I am sceptical that this is the cause of the problem due to the highly intermittent nature. Error codes being produced still say random misfire. I wondered if any other owners had experienced any similar problems or could suggest a solution?
  5. I have recently purchased a 2002 RX300 and am now a Lexus convert. However my previous vehicle was a dual fuel Estate and so whilst the MPG is similiar the costs are substantially different ( the estate had dual fuel fitted when I purchased it) I have seen conflicting comments regarding the fitting of LPG conversions to the RX300, has anyone actually done it? Other 4x4 owners have achieved substantial savings and so I am keen to make the conversion but am concerned to "disturb" the cars significant engine management system etc!!!
