I have owned a 96 GS 300 since the summer and very pleased with it too! I have previously owned 5 series BMW's the last being a 535 manual. The spec of the Lexus, the ride,the stereo all surpasses the BM's spec although it does'nt quite have the punch of the 535, perhaps this is due to the extra weight of the Lexus.
With one of my previous BM's the electronic heater valve packed up and gave me a luke warm heater. My Lexus has the same problem ie the engine warms up fine, so no thermostat probs, the heater blows luke warm on a run but on idle blows very cool. My question to any one with any knowledge of this problem, has this car got a similar valve? Thanks in advance for any info
