Hi Guys I need to change the 6 spark plugs on my car it looks as though there is a bit to remove to get to all of them, anybody done theres if so can you give a breakdown on what has to be done. Thanks Norman

Great stuff Thanks very much for your help Norman

Hi Guys I need to replace my headlight washer actuator has any member done one if so could you advise the best way to remove and replace. Cheers Norman

Thanks Colin :) Does that do anything clever? Resets the ECU

You should of used the jump leads that are in the back of the Audi mate :D Not even opened the boot, didn't know you had any! Might try it later in the week then, but won't be using the Audi to jump start anything ;) I read somewhere about jump starting possibly causing issues with ECU fault codes on German cars, so will use my cousins sisters yaris if need be :) I have used a jump start on my GS300 with no problems but I do use a surge protector across the battery terminals to be extra sure of no spikes.

Norman Heh! aido what a great reply it is full of loads of goody's including bodywork etc. now I have looked into it in more detail it is full of great information. you came up trumps again buddy. Norman

Hi Aido Thanks mate but it is the wrong one my nozzle is part No. 85044 and the setup is different to the diagram there, would that be the Mk1. Norman

Hi Guys Does anybody have a parts diagram for the headlight washers for the GS300, I have bought the washer nozzle which is the part that fixes to the bumper but I need to know what parts it fixes to in case there is something missing on mine. Norman

Sorry guys I forgot to follow up on this for members benefit in case they get the same problems. There is another fuse box by the passenger side tucked away awkwardly but I found a 10amp fuse blown and on the cover it is listed as DOME I could not believe that one 10amp fuse would cover radio,interior lights,digital clock and remote locking but we live and learn.

As you all say guys utter load of crapp and should be banned from being sold,if you see his feedback the same as others selling this rubbish a lot of people are buying it. There is another scam on the net about running your car on water and it is very expensive (BEWARE AND DON'T BUY)

Thanks Aido Your a star just what I wanted forum comes up trumps again. Norman

Thats a shame I will keep looking

Hi Aido I don't really know I think the radio was a separate book

Thanks Aido I got my car hand book from them but did not think of them for a radio one (It's called Old Age LOL.)

Hi Guys I have put this on the GS300 forum as well but thought some body on the Is200 may be able to help. I need a users handbook for the original radio that is put into the GS300 can anybody sell me one or tell me the best place to buy one. Many thanks Norman

Did mine a couple of years ago & cost under £100. Fairly simple job, 30 minutes or so but I can't locate the thread at the moment. Electric door lock actuator (Drivers door on mine) had to be purchased from Lexus & was approx £130. (Slightly annoying as it was only a small 12V motor that was faulty, but non repairable without destroying the housing) Again it takes about 30 minutes. (always quicker if doing jobs for the second time) :winky: Good luck with your repairs & finding the fuse. Regards, Max. Thanks for that Max, some guys on the US forum have bought the small motor you are talking about and done the repair for £1.50 but I have not been able to get a motor over here without knowing some details about it regards size etc. there a write-up with instructions on how to do it.

Hi Guys Many thanks for all your replys, regards door actuator part No. 6913030110 it just does not work on the remote or even if I lock the car with the key by all accounts it is a common fault on the Lexus so needs replacing I have checked the door ECU located inside the door (one for each door) by swapping them from one door to the other and they are OK. As regards the advice about earth points and fuses I think as you say I need to check all the fuses and the earth's. Regards the battery it has been 100% since Boxing night but I think the CD-Radio has a problem because that was when I developed the flat battery problem and I have not used it since and the car has started first time every time so I suspect a dead short somewhere.. I am after changing the radio for an aftermarket one as the digi display is completely shot which as I understand is another Lexus common problem but used it because it did not concern me that I could not see which radio station or what cd I was playing I did put a request on to the Is200 forum to see if anybody had done a replacement on there car and if so which one they used. Like a lot of people I have a garage but it is full off things like the mower, pressure cleaner, car vac, etc. so no room for the car so repairs have to be done on the driveway and because it is so cold will have to check fuses and earths when it gets warmer. Have a good new year and hope the recession does not effect any members too badly. Regards Norman
