My MK II GS has slowly been losing the characters from the LCD display Where is the best place to get a second hand replacement head unit to replace the existing one? I'm not that technical so I'm hoping for a one stop shop to replace the head at a reasonable price cheers Mark

Hi All, my little feller is getting toward 9 months - need to get the next child seat up. Is there a Lexus recaro type seat, or a Lexus branded one? If not what have you used that works well? I'm pretty sure I want to go ISOFIX Looked in the Lexus website but not obvious if there is anything cheers Mark

Lets try again!! Had a local mechanic change the front discs and pads on my S reg GS 300 - he used pattern discs and pads. Came back with a SERIOUS wobble on the steering wheel when you hit the brakes He swears he's used these discs and pads on over 30 other (non-lexus) cars with no issues Took the car to Lexus who fixed it - as soon as I said pattern discs and pads, they said - 'nah mate - gotta use Lexus parts - non lexus always warps' Is this true, or is it more likely the mechanic fitted them wrong? Just wondering as I haven't paid the mechanic yet!! Shame because he's been good until now on other things...

my mistake - I meant pattern discs and pads :-)

its a THB Bury take & Talk Just bought the Nokia 6300 bit that attaches to the universal bit. Works a treat. lovely

This thread just saved me a nasty call out - let the battery go flat - left the key in the ignition for 3 days :shutit: charged the battery off the wifes car, but could not start the engine - immobiliser light would go off. Tried all sorts of combinations of key in, key out, lock, unlock etc sure enough - wait six minutes with the key in the iginiton and it all worked - phew

I go up and down the country all the time My experience over the last 3 years - figures from Full tank - Empty ish Long run with Air conditioning turned off (saves quite a bit) - 360 - 380 miles Some motorway, some A road, bit of town (air con onoff/) - 280 - 300 miles all town and short runs - 260 miles you can get at least 50 miles from the empty light coming on, if you turn the air con off!! but its all worth it because after 2 hours getting to a customer, I'm fresh and ready to work. When I drove a Golf, I was ready to have a kip and go home again ;) Mark

Hi All, just wanted any thoughts before I start spending money/time In my GS300 MkII, When I accelerate gently there is a rattle at exactly 1800 RPM - it disappears when I get to 1900RPM. Happens in any gear, and does not happen when in neutral Any thoughts? I'm thinking exhaust. cheers Mark

I recently had a Nokia Universal Kit fitted to my GS300 II by www.nationalcarphones.co.uk Didnt integrate with the stereo as its amped on the GS and the mobile fitters run a mile. However they fitted a pod speaker under the passenger glove box. It is possible to fit a mute lead into the amp to kill the sound when the phone rings(although I've not bothered) Have to say I'm quite happy with it. Fitting is good, Sound is good, Mike works well, the tax disk arial is excellent - I've dropped 1 call in 4 months, and I drive all over the country Just my 2 pence worth...

Only problem with using the dealer is how long they will let you haver their loan car for. If your repairs are light I'm sure it will be fine I once had a car shipped to the dealer after a nasty accident and they took the loan car off me after a month - insurance wouldn't provide a car as the claim wasnt settled so I used the motorbike instead - good job it was summer Oh - and the dealer was .... Volkswagen. THATS why I drive a Lexus

I had the same thing on the Passenger side headlight and Main Beam light. Luckily I got them replaced under warranty as it means the seal has gone.

Check for wheel balance problems at 70 - 85 Mph, and also check the stereo LCD display shows everything clearly Apart from that GS300s are pretty solid Mark

I have the same problem on mine - it was intermittent and now I just get a little bit of garbage where the Radio station should be. Did anyone know a comapny that could replace the screen in the south? and how much it costs?

Got to say that I had the same problem when I had new tyres fitted - interestingly I'd just read the GS300 buyers guide article and it even mentioned the 300s are very sensitive to wheel balance - nice wobble at about 75. Paid 11 beans at the local tyre fitter and watched the lad do the balance. Sorted after that! I've resigned myself to having to rebalance the wheels at least twice per fitting!!
