N20LEX

Hi there. i am confused by the different degrees of consumtion that people seem to get from there GS300s. On a long run, (incidentally) when i first bought it, i filled up, went to notts and back to london drove around town and i got 294 miles before the light came on. Filled up with 60 pounds worth of fuel. (bear in my mind the boot was full of luggage and five people in the car(one way)). Am on my second tank now.. so will post how many miles i get from it.. Can everyone post the mileage they get off a full tank, so we can do a comparison.. plus just how large is that reserve !!! seems very large..

I got a very good deal, i paid 6500 pounds. No dents or scratches, 84,000m, FSH. Very pleased. Tank has just ended and gave me 291 miles with 240 miles on the motorway, i did fill up just as the light came on though. It took 63 litres of fuel (i think). 60 pounds worth of petrol at 96.9p per litre!!!

Im not sure yet, i only got it on saturday, but it seems to drink juice !!! Will check when the tank ends and let you know... what mpg you getting???

Had the car checked today.. no play in the wheels, but that doesnt explain the knocking noise when parking or reversing. maybe its in the calipers?? will try balancing the wheels next to get rid of the shake, but i am not holding my breath..!! ordered the hub cap from lexus stealer today.. 20.58 plus the vat. I just looked in my owners manual and it gives the procedure for correcting the wipers, you just pull them back into place... at least one problemis sorted!! Might buy a tom tom next !!!!!! the key is apparently 125 squid !!! plus coding. did see a website in the US that was selling the key for $90.. and gave instructions to code it to work as long as you have the master key.. any ideas anyone???

Hi everybody, I am a newbie just bought a GS300 sport in silver (1999 mk2 sport)on saturday and have some questions for you experts out there... The wipers dont seem to "park" down and are up from there normal position a little when at rest. Is this normal and should they park away?? Any known fix if this is the case?? I lost one hub cap oer the weekend while testing it on the M1 !! How much is one??? I have a terrible shake on the steering at speed.. i suspect its the front ball joints as I have read some of the posts and I also have hear some knocking noises when parking the car and tuning the steering. Other than that the car is excellent, very good value for money, the only option it hasnt got is sat nav ... which is a shame .. but you cant have it all. Also does anyone know how much a a spare key is?? I think you can program it yourself as long as youhave a master key??? Oh BTW does anyone notice with a sport that the front spoiler scrapes unless you drive extrmely slowly over speedhumps??? Mine is going to get damaged at this rate !!!
