  1. Morning Guys

    I do not have cause to request assistance and advice for my fantastic 02 GS300 very often. Admittedly I do not have a high annual mileage. When I do drive it, it is a joy.

    The most recent work was to have the wheels aligned by Lexus Birmingham which whilst expensive, did the trick. It runs smooth.

    My Battery is not holding a charge. Does anyone know the best place for a replacement near Alvechurch / Redditch / South Birmingham / West Midlands?

    Thanks Guys

  3. Hello Ladies and Gentlemen

    GS300 SE June 2002 02 52500 - owned since October 2006 lovely driving.

    Only issue excessive outside tyre wear on front tyres.

    The 'engine' warning light came on last week, so I obediently booked in with Lexus Birmingham who explained it would probably be the oxygen sensor and advised the cost. Whilst there they noticed the tyre wear and offered a full geometry test, but would need new tyre first, so agreed and went ahead. Drives better now!

    Cannot fault Lexus service (IS250 to drive home - noticed the reversing camera, so I reversed there and back all 32 miles - don't tell them will you) except you know what! £436.48! Tyre came in at £107.81 which was not as bad as I thought (she forgot to mention the VAT on top!)

    Where did I go wrong? How could I improve next time?

    Thanks and all the best Speedy

  4. My brake warning light seems to be feeling a bit left out and has started coming on - it's always when the car is cold, and it comes on while the brakes are on and goes off again when they're released.

    After a few minutes it stops happening.

    Any ideas? I'm hoping it's something simple like a bad connection to a bulb..

    Did you sort out what it was?

    My 4 year old GS300 is doing exactly the same. I've booked for Lexus Bham to look it over for £47.00 odd!
