UV - I meant to ask you - I get some noise off my new slotted/spotted discs even when I'm not braking - it's very faint and I can only hear it reflected from parked cars and wooden fences with the windows open - like a sorta ticking - I'm guessing it's the grooves passing under the pads - does that sound normal to you?

C'mon guys - someone must know summink!!:bounce:

No - they're not lit:yes:

LOL - you're prolly right, although they're shedloads better than the Toyota ones that were on there. With 2 tonnes fo auto, you don't need to use them hard to make dust!!

Still here......:bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce::bounce:

Do note - if you don't have grooved already - these can sometimes be noisy ... esp. in reverse!

You certainly got that right UV - when I first got mine fitted I nearly jumped outta my skin when I braked!!

My main reason for buting the Greenstuff pads was that they don't shed loads of brake dust over my luvvly alloys - definite improvement!

Can anyone recommend a speaker upgrade for my GS300-2 please, and where to get the stuff in the UK?

Thanks:bounce:

You might wanna have a look at aftermarket brakes Les. I just put on a set of EBC Greenstuff pads (front and rear) plus a pair of EBC grooved front discs. Total bill was about 330quids. If you add on say 75 for a pair of rear discs - you're talking 400 pounds all done and much better brakes!!

The other thing I'd TOTALLY recommend, is take your car for a second opinion - to a decent NON-Lexus dealer - act dumb and see what they say.

No bulbs mate - it's dark

Hi Chris - welcome to the Club.

I'd like to upgrade the speakers in my GS300-II , what would you recommend??

Cheers

I use a few drops of Isopropyl Achohol on a lint free cloth

Thanks Canter - that was exactly the info I was after, as I AM using the bulbs for HB4.

Cheers

Rod

Thanks Canter!

Mostly I agree (in fact I've been working on a "Beemer Buster" avatar.)

There are (gulp) one or two that I quite like though (sorry) - notably the M5 and the XJR Sport.

I think that it's a reflection of our good style and individuality that we don't buy a car simply for the badge, like most beemer owners do.

I'm assuming it's the same setup as a GS300. The whole assembly will come out with a good pull - there's no screws. You might need to get a flat bade behind it for some leverage, but it WILL come out, I promise, You can then get to the guts to open it.

Good luck!

I wanna get the speakers in my GS300 Mk2 changed for something better - any recommendations please?

Welcome - it's great to see you taking an interest. My wife loves my car, but is definitely a member of the "I dunno what all the fuss is about" club and the "it's got a wheel on each corner brigade".

My youngest son (aged 1) loves my car too - but that's cos he doesn't like walking too far!!:lol:

No probs.

Is that your car <--------- nice kit!!

Can you get me a price for a grill??

There's lots of info on ClubLexus about it

Welcome back Les!!:lol::bounce:

Mine does the same sometimes. I've read that it's a common problem with the ECU. :(

Hiya Steve.

I've reviewed GS300 and Lexus Coventry, Leicester and Reading.

:bounce:

OK Andy - thanks mate:D
