Disconnecting the Battery fixes the RDS/Traffic Issues with the Radio. Took me two minutes yesterday, and now I have more radio stations than I thought possible. Brilliant. Great advice everyone.

Radio Problems

Has anyone had any problems with radio reception? My car recently has lost the ability to tune into any stations. If i do a seek, it just loops and loops (even with DX). I can get a signal by tuning manually, but its a bit weak, and as for RDS, well it has give up. Im hoping its only an aerial problem, and not the tuner itself. Mine is a 94 GS300.

Leaking Boot

I too have the same woes with my boot - lots of water on the bootwell, though thankfully its coming in from the left hand side, and not anywhere near the CD changer, will have a look at getting a new seal.

Hi All,

Looking at some archived posts, I see there are a few of you out there with an LPG converted car.

Can any one share some experiences, good and bad, about conversions?

I have a 94 MK1 GS300, with 120K great car, worth about 4k I suppose these days, and I have had a quote so for for 2K for a conversion (yikes). Anyone know of reputable installers who can do it cheaper?

I still reckon its better to spend this money on the car, there aint any other car out there better value for 6K,

Thanks for your help,

Andrew.

Its not bad is it, another dealership, Lexus Woodford inside the M25 quoted 297. More expensive due to their higher labour costs I expect, being close to London.

For a Series 1 GS300.

My car is due its 120K, 5 year timing belt replacement, which I am about to have done. Im going to get it done, probably at Lexus Southampton who have quoted £237 for the full job.

At the same time, ive noticed there is a noise starting around the front of the car with either a belt or a pulley, making a 'jingly-jangley' bearing type noise. Has anyone else had a similar experience with their Series 1 GS? Hoping its just an adjustment needed on one of the belts/tensioners.

All help appreciated!

Hi all,

does anybody actually know the location of the inlet vent you spray the stuff into on the MK1, i've had a look around mine by getting my head down into the passenger footwell, and looking as best I can behind the glove box

is it a glovebox out job and what does the vent look like?

hope you can help!

Andrew.

Hi there,

Does anyone know where it is in a Mk1 GS300?

Do I have to take the glovebox out, and what does the filter housing blanking plate look like? what is it next to?

any help much appreciated!!

cheers jaybo, I will go after this one with confidence now, i presume the initial bit - the black plastic trim - unclips from the front? there seems to be a couple of access points there

Any body got any tips on how to replace an instrument cluster bulb on a MK1 GS - mine has gone over the 60mph

Just want some advice before I wade on with a screwdriver!

If its a Lexus Succession warranty, then you are stuck with servicing at a Lexus dealer in order to keep the warranty.

At least with the warranty you know your servicing prices are fixed, as the warranty covers everything other than consumables,

I got a new exhaust manifold, instrument cluster bulbs and radiator out of my warranty. All done with no question.

insist on a lexus stamp as well

might sound a daft question, but can you determine the colour of the tint?

ie I quite like the gold tinge that the RX300 has - very lexus like - are there people out there who can do that?

Hi,

anyone got any advice on how to either clean or replace the chrome exhaust pipes on the back of the GS,

mine are starting to look a bit tatty now, and I either want some magic polish to clean them up,

or

some help on whether they can actually be detached and replaced?

RK.

Has anyone gone the other way, and replaced the indicators on the UK model GS300 Mk1 with the more orange unit that you see on US cars? Can you get replacements? I quite like them.

Andrew.
