Hi !
New Lexus GS430 owner. Model is the 2001 GS430 LS with Nav.
I have recently bought a Gs430 - enjoying the car hugely. I switched from a Mazda Mx3 and was active on the forums over there for the past 5 years ( although I rarely had to use them as the car was so reliable.=-)
I need to order some parts, and was wondering about the best places to source. I am new to this forum, so if this breaks any advertising rules feel free to PM me, or moderate the topic as you see fit.
1. I am showing a check engine light - I ran my OBDII reader on it, code P0135 which tells me the O2 sensor 1 bank 1 is faulty. Through forum posts I found the pre-cat O2 part on densoaftermarket for 70 pounds. Is this definately the one to go for or, or is there a preferred uk supplier ?. http://www.densoproducts.com/resultsSearch...Number=234-4138
I have been looking at the online workshop manual at http://bahamutcars.free.fr/workshop/GS_97-...ents/index.html but it still leaves me a little fuzzy about which one it is. Is it accessible without dissassembly of anything... or is there a photo of it anywhere ?
2. The spark plugs are due for renewal at 60k, I understand there are 8 iridum plugs to change, any good suppliers ? I understand lexus want an arm and a leg.
3. Aux Drive belt - its due replacement at 60k, looks like an easy job
I prefer OE spec independantly sourced parts, as oppposed to universal or pattern parts....but if they are "known good" I will compromise my standards.=-) .
