Check the spare, that one may be the correct way around.

e-shift is only on face lift GS300 models (Oct 2000+)

happened to my Dad, 2 years later he is still waiting to get back his excess, should be going to court at some point

a lot of old technology plasma screen are becoming available. Most have a poor resolution and are not HDTV ready, which Sky and cable companies will start transmitting next year.

Maybe a quick spin is fun but certainly doesn't have a driving feel good factor that the IS has. Also there is a big difference in driving between a 300 and a 430.

whats different with the Interior Colin? to be honest I only noticed the widescreen satnav and some chrome trim ← You can't do much about the sat nav but there is chrome trim around the gear selector. Trim around the instrument cluster and centre air vent is darker colour which breaks up the large areas on the same colour. Instrument cluster trim also has silver edging. The centre of the steering wheel has a chrome L badge but you would need to replace the airbag so it's very expensive to do that. Ash tray is now wood rather than plastic All small changes but make a big difference to freshen it up. Face lift changes listed here: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/knowledge...ex_v2&id=69&c=3

you can get a GS300 cheaper than an IS300. IS300 is a much more sportier drive though.

Very nice Brett Those new rear light cluster also really improve the look. Are you going to update the interior too?

Agreed

which Philips model is it? 32PW9509? http://www.homecinemachoice.com/cgi-bin/ou...053_WV_0904.pdf Should be able to pick it up for under £800.

and look better

Why not just phone up your dealer?

Pixel Plus 2 is the best picture enhancing technology out there at the moment which is why the top end Philips LCD screens come out top on all the reviews/awards.

I find it smears the screen when you have to use the wipers, e.g. driving around town so I stopped using it.

Might be worth getting the battery checked.

If the clicking is quite and seems to come from the top of the engine then it is probably just the starter relay you can hear in the fusebox. Sounds like the starter solenoid has stuck. Removing and cleaning may well fix the problem.

As long as your dealer attempts to fix the problem whilst in warranty all work should still be done under warranty even if by the time the fault is fixed the warranty has expired. Get it booked in.

You can drive more ecomonically manually rather than using cruise.

vvt-i doesn't kick in so it shouldn't a problem with the variable timing. The kick comes from ECU altering the timing advance and changing air path into the engine. Your problem does sound like a restricted exhaust and it would be worth removing the downpipe to inspect the precats and look at the front of the main cat for any damage.

Toyota use Aisin-AW for their auto transmissions. Basically a Toyota division that was made into a separate company - same sort of thing as Denso.

I've spoken to a few people who think it's over the top and looks slightly out of place.

Couldn't remember if it was a 2.2 or a 2.4. I've seen released info on the engine, some claim 180bhp and others slightly less. Maybe the 180 is a PS figure not bhp?

I would use a proper Toyota one.

Yes 1999-2000 GS300 sport had the large spoiler 2003 onwards GS300 sport have lip 2003 onwards GS430 sport have large spoiler
