Hi, I have a problem in that my rear left ABS sensor is goosed. I have ordered an aftermarket spare, but it turns out that it was for the 'new' shape model rather than my older version and the supplier does not have any for earlier models. I could buy from Lexus, but at £169 I'd much rather buy an aftermarket (or even import it) one at almost a third of the cost. Can anyone recommend a UK based supplier who may have such an item, and if not a company who would be happy for an overseas order?

Thanks Manxman. I suspect the calipers or actuators could be the cause as it has had new front disks recently. As my problem is not causing any driving issues once going, or indeed pulling off at speed, then I'll have my local garage (like yours, a well established local company with masses of experience) and have them work out a fix for me.

I've just got myself a very low milage 2002 RX300 with only 42k on the clock, full Lexus service history and fully specced and all for 5k. Anyway, for that price I expect to pay another 1k to fix problems, and so far, so good, however after replacing all of the brake pads (the pads were quite worn on the rear and I though I might as well know were I stand with them all, so had the front done as well). I now have an intermittant problem where once the brakes have warmed the front RH wheel will bind should you try and pull away with gentle revs. On tickover its fine as well as using high revs. Just that a moderate amount of revs will result in the FRHS wheel binding considerably for a few seconds before releasing. Any suggestions as to what the cause might be?

Thanks, now all I have to look for is a good UK Lexus spares supplier as I need a new L\H rear light cluster (both parts)as the one it came with has a crack over both sections. I always say that when you get a used car (especially a bargin like this)you have to spend about £1000 to bring it up to standard. It even has 5 differant tyres, all in various states of wear!

Hi all, I'm about to get my first Lexus, a 2002 RX300. Its immaculate inside and out, has only 42,000 miles on the clock + full Lexus service history, and all for £5200! What I want to know is will it accomodate the Parrot 9200 MKI easily as I know (after much searching around) you can't swap out the fitted radio without stuffing the climate controls and I need Bluetooth handsfree and an iPod connection as I'm a business owner and often take calls in the car. Also does it accomodate third party speakers as replacements because I'm stripping the Focals out of my old Scenic RX4 before I part-ex it and having some cheap Sonys put in to replace them. And finally, how much would I expect to pay for an LPG conversion with dohnut tank in the spare wheel well? Sorry for the raft of questions, but I'd like to get all of the work done pretty soon after I take ownership (hopefully late next week) and want to start planning the fitting of these items so I can get it all out of the way and enjoy my new car.
