Hi
had the car a few months and all in all very happy with it. one niggle - the driver's door is very stiff and often only closes with a heavy pull if sat inside. have have oiled/greased the little arm and hinge points (that i can see) but it's still the same. anything, other than stripping down and replacing hinges/etc i should be doing? thanks. mojo

Hi
fairly new to the forum and Lexus. It's my first lexus, actually: 2007 gs 300 se-l. Anyway, love the car but had this problem twice, now: check vsc as well as a series of lights: engine management, traction control and brakes. the first time, i took it to a mech who stuck his machine on the car, deleted the faults (but found nothing stored). two weeks later, the same thing again. Any suggestions/ideas hugely appreciated. Done a google search and found little of use.
thanks.

Gs 300 2007: Check Vsc And Warning Lights

erm, hello - again
so sorry for not replying to this post in a more timely manner. i didn't go into cardiac arrest or anything but merely had problems with a. my pc, and b. the car!. also, i did check back on the post a few times but nothing much seemed to be happening. anyway, be all that as it may.... an update, i suppose, might be useful.
so, had the computer obd reset thing done twice; the second time i got it done i also noticed a sidelight bulb was out so got that changed. the mech mentioned that sometimes even daft stuff like blown bulbs send these electronics haywire. a friend did some deeper searching online and also found one or two instances of blown bulbs setting off the xmas lights.
so now, about 3 months and not that many miles later (about 1200), the fault has not returned. i'm hoping it was the blown bulb because there's no damned way i'd be forking out 3k; and i imagine the dealers would play hardball if i were to try and pursue it under warranty (now gone over 3 years but the 5 year thing i'm sure they'd still dispute because that is what every dealer i;ve ever dealt with has done).
anyway, got me a new fault. only it's not really a fault - just a heavy and stiff door. i can live with it but it can become a little irksome at times.
hope the update is useful
thanks again for all the replies
