Hi Guys My starter motor appears to be developing a flat spot on the comm. Will a starter motor off a series 1 fit?. My car is a 1999 not sure what the series 1 is but I could probably find out. Thanks Probsat

Hi Seagram Please read from the link below http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...mp;#entry485543 I have since done 15k in mine and it is running really well. Just filled up at 49p per litre and still getting 5 miles per litre approx 10p per mile. If I really hammer it (never need to though) it will switch over to petrol. The petrol guage still drops when on lpg but eventualy resets itself to the correct level, please ask your installer if they have a fix for this because mine doesnt cheers probsat

Etching primer is a must when painting alluminium

Hi I did mine with the greyish paint and with my car being silver the wheels look really good. Dont forget to use etching primer which contains an acid this penetrates the alloy to stop premature flaking. Cost me £50 and a full days dirty work using Nitromors paint stripper, masking out the tyres was quite time consuming, mind you by the time i got to number four i was pretty quick! cheers probsat

simply unplug the aerial in the boot probsat

OK, don't answer this question now because..... I'm after putting a deposit on the 00, flights booked and going to collect it on Saturday :winky: Fingers crossed I won't be disappointed when I see it! Hello Good luck with your purchase, sure you will enjoy the drive cheers probsat

Thanks for the reply, how much is a full system? cheers probsat

Hi Guys Where is the cheapest place for exhaust replacement, non of the exhaust centres list them. Cheers Probsat

Hello Both of my door rubbers are coming away from the front doors in the area that you describe, the rubber is actualy torn. As temporary fix I have used araldite on the inside of the doors. I will do a better job in the spring. Regarding the panel lights, mine always dim when I drive it into my dark garage, they must be wired into the auto lights sensors either side of the front dashboard, the reason being is that you dont need the display lights as bright in the dark. Simply turn them brighter and they will be as bright as in the day but not full brightness thus saving the needles ( didnt know that fact ) Cheers Probsat

Hi Chris Thanks for the reply, the only drawback is the fact that it is very expensive locally at £1750 plus VAT Cheers Probsat I have been running cars (including a few Lexus's) on LPG for years now and never had a problem. i have just had a GS300 Sport gassed up and cost me £950 inc vat, for the single point system, they offered the multi point for £1300 took them 2 days and did a quality job too. Hi I assume that you had your work done in Plymouth, have you got a contact number please. What is the economy and performance like? What is the advantage of the mutipoint? Sorry for all of the questions Cheers Probsat Yes it was in Plym 01752 249915 Economy is great 80 - 110 miles for £10 of LPG Multi point better economy but only by something like 3% but more parts to go wrong, so i chose single point which i have always used with no problems. hi i have purchased a tartinin97 single point system with donut tank from ebay for £150 for a mark 1 g3 300 sport 88000 is it worth insatlling it on this car i do about 25000 business miles a year but dont use this car its my toy but it would be nice if i wanted to go to scotland or so that i would be on lpg. is this single point worth a risk it is complete and for a mk1 gs or should i buy a brand new one any help would be apprecited cheers Hi I was advised by a few installers to have the multipoint system fitted of which I am very pleased with. I cannot notice any difference between gas and petrol. Maybe chris will give you some advice on how his car performs probsat

Hi Wow Are your cars both Mk1's ? if so there is obviously a difference if your fuel gauge is not moving when on gas cheers probsat Yes, i have sold 1 now though. Fuel gauge moving? i have not said that but no it does not move when on gas, the gas one does though! Petrol gauge does go down over time as it starts on petrol then it switches over. On the Mk2's the fuel gauge moves when running on gas because the ECU takes over operation of the gauge, and of course the gas fuel gauge drops. For example my low fuel light came on this morning and when I reset the petrol gauge the needle went up to just over half way again

till setting up the flash lube I am now using approx 6 drops per minute I will report back when I ahve done more miles.At the moment Regarding the fuel guage, now this is a right pain! There is a kit that is designed for the mercedes range but this does not work for the lexus. The theory behind it is that it pulses the feed to the fuel gauge, I have fitted a relay that is operated by the rear brake light circuit. The relay when energised breaks the feed to the tank sender unit, the problem is that there are 2 sender units so it isnt working correctly. Mine works as follows, the fuel gauge drops as if it is using petrol, when the low fuel light comes on I reset the guage in this way. When I start the car I hold my foot on the brake the guage is now showing empty, I then stop the car and take out the key. When I start the car next time the guage shows the true reading which in my case it is just over half full. The process then begins again ie: the guage will drop again, with this method the guage only resets when the low fuel light comes on. To add, during the first 1000 miles the economy and performance dropped slightly, this was rectified by resetting the pressure to 2 bar pressure. During the first 1000 miles the system beds in! At the moment I am only driving locally and I pay 43.5p per litre, for a £26 fill I get between 210 and 240 miles cheers probsat
