I don’t know what to do. Do I get 18 inch wheels.. if so what size tires are standard on the sports versions Refurb my current alloys (17 inch)? Buy some different 17 inch wheels? Where can I get new small centre caps. they are about 50-60mm diameter? Ebay Item number: 140077061331? would these be to narrow?

I have 17" at the MO. Cannot afford 18 and the tires a too expensive!!!! Do Clear Rx300 side repeaters fit straight into Lexus GS300 MK1? If so I am getting a pair as I hate the orange bit inside mine!!!! What wheels size and tyres do you have?? Cheers

Ebay Item number: 120075688064 Would these look good on a MK1 Lexus GS300. They take the same tyres as mine...

Is it possible to get an integrated key from the dealer?

is it possible to increase the size of the antenna on the car??

I just checked on my MK1 Gs300 and they have 4 wires.. i think i might buy the ones with the connectors dont fancy have 4 wires spliced!

Honestly folks!!! The connector is just that - it is a plug with a wire coming out!!! - nothing to get too excited over. Just give it a quick clean before plugging it back in... common sense. There is only 1 wire to join - I've used eletrical terminal block (avaliable in B&Q, Wilkinsons, Maplins etc etc for a few pence) and mummified it in insulating tape. This is a perfectly good electrical connection and is perfectly safe and efficient. I paid £33 from the States (inc delivery) for all 3 although I have only fitted 2 as yet because I am not too keen on ripping out my carpet in a search for the rear access panel :duh: Does anyone know exactly where it is before I make too much of a mess? Please check earlier in the thread for the guys ebay name where I bought them. Has it made a difference to the mpg? Well it's early days yet but the signs are good. I have done 120 miles on about £20 of optimax which is just under the magic 25mpg I am looking for. I'll tell better when I brim it next. The fuel guage needle certainly isn't plummetting like it used to But please do the job yourself - unless of course your on Beckhams' wages!! It really is a very simple and easy DIY job which I would imagine is very hard to get wrong. If you can change a 13 amp plug yopu can do this job. if its only one wire I can get the cheaper ones. By the looks of the picture it looked like 4!!! can u PM me the item numbers u bought so i can get the same!!

You do realise the sensors can be ordered from the States at a much cheaper price, and it's a job that you can do at home? All the info can be found in earlier posts in this very thread. Yeah I saw on this forum. I was just amazed at how much Lexus was charging. If the ECU reset doesnt work I will order them. I am not sure what to get. Do i spend about £100 plus P and P and get the sensors with the correct connectors, or do I spend £45 plus p and p and get the univesal sensors?? Is the save of £45 a false economy as I would be splicing the sensors to the old connector

do you know what number that fuse is?

How good is everyone’s Central Locking Remote. I just had my battery changed but the range is really poor and temperamental. I can press lock pointing straight at the car and nothing happens, and other times i can lock it from my pocket. Any ideas on how to improve this?? cheers

How do I reset the ECU. The Lexus Garage advsied me to disconnect to battery for 1/2 hour. Is there another easier way? How long do I need to disconnect it for. Is it aprox 1/2 or at least etc cheers

Does anyone have any idea if the bulbs the light up the dash are accessable? and what kind of bulbs they are

I Just spoke to the Lexus Garage. The sensors cost £141.15 for the front and £185.73 for the back!!!! Plus 1 and 1/2 hours labour. The guy advised me to first disconnect the battery for about 1/2 hour. The GS300 has a self learning ECU. Thus if you bought yours second hand, and the last driver was a slow lane driver, the ecu could do with a reset and thus the 1/2 battery disconnect. I'm gonna try that first. If this doesnt work I will have to order the sensors.

I have a 1997 MK1 Lexus GS300. I got 19 miles to the Gal on last fill up :-( about 280 to the tank. I think i have the o2 sensor problem, however, i need some advice. Do I buy universal sensors and splice them in? Or spend a bit more and get the ones with the correct clips... Also how do I test/clean the existing sensors.... a blow torch???? Can someone tell me what to look for to find the sensors. cheers :-)

Has anyone installed universal Angel eyes in a MK1 GS300. I thought it might look quite good around the main beam eye. Any thoughts?

I think people are getting confused. I mean the bulbs that light up the instrument panel, not the front headlights. Can those bulbs be replaced. I know i might have to take out the instrument panel, but does anyone know what kind of bulbs they are? aside: where do I get HID conv kit from and how ££££

I have a Lexus GS300 MK1. 2 things: 1) I have noticed that the instrument lights are always on. Is this correct? 2) The lights seem a little yellow dirty, I have seen on other cars (merc) they have a crisp white colour shining through. I was planning on changing the bulbs to LED bulbs, however, not sure if can get to the bulbs easily and I do not know what kind of bulbs they are. Also will the dimmer work? or effect them... Does anyone have any ideas? Cheers Kryz
