  1. You need to keep the blueyonder cable modem so you need to get a dual ethernet router Somthing like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/in...oduct_uid=51436 PS has your Internet bandwidth been upgraded yet?
  2. No point in having a router if you don't want NAT, otherwise only one machine will be able to connect out. Linksys and Netgear do good home routers.
  3. EE means an error on both sides, EL is left and ER is right. You can reset the unit by holding down the power button for 2 seconds. Manual is here if you don't have it: http://www.tein.com/ti/inst/edfcu.pdf
  4. FYI, 1394 is an IEEE 1394 or firewire or Sony iLink port (whatever you want to call it). Normally used for digital video
  5. Are they around £300 + VAT?
  6. The Philips Blue vision are more white than stock bulbs but don't really compare with HIDs. Still they are good value and the only real 'legal' choice.
  7. Here is some pictures of the different types, don't know if that helps. http://www.piaa.co.uk/bulbs/bulbshow.asp?ID=xtwhite
  8. Epson printers always do well in photo tests. Worth getting one with individual colours otherwise it gets expensive if just one colour runs out.
  9. TRD and cheap are not normally two words you see together :)
  10. The CEL will go out if the engine goes through 3 starts without an error. The error code will still be stored in the ECU.
  11. They may stick out passed the wheel arches - which is illegal. They may rub - mainly on the front with full lock They may affect handling and the steering wheel may no longer self-centre. It would be worth testing them if you can before you purchase them.
  12. I think the speakers are active which may complicate things. Worth posting that question on the US forums - there aren't many GS owners that have a modified stereo system in the UK.
  13. You need to short the E1 and TE1 terminals on either the DLC1 or 2 connectors for it to display the error codes. However OBD-II was implemented on the LS around 1995 so you may have OBD-II diagnostics. If that is the case you need to plug in an OBD-II reader to obtain the codes - the E1 and TE1 method will not work.
  14. Are you saying they are made so badly they vary between 35 and 42 The series II sport wheels are: PCD 5 x 114.3 Offset 45 Bore 60.1
  15. Yes they are the LS ones. Picture in here: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/ind...howtopic=10257&
  16. The more I hear about the TTE S/C the more I conclude that it is very poorly designed.
  17. Is the rattle not just coming from the sunroof retractable cover? That tends to rattle. Can you press on the sunroof whilst driving and it stops the rattle? I know of people in the US who have had the sunroof replaced under warranty because of noise but that would be very costly.
  18. The problem with the article on autosite is it is just a re-write of the Lexus press release but using incorrect information. The actual information that Lexus have released is that it will: not just that it will deliver 27.6 mpg http://www.lexus.com/about/press_releases/...pr_01_06_a.html
  19. There is a guide. Have a look in the knowledgebase under the series II GS: http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/knowledge...ge=index_v1&c=3 There is also a list of the changes made at the end of 2000. Worth getting a facelift model if possible. Should be able to get one within the budget. The Sat Nav part is basically the same however it has a touch screen so you can enter addresses etc much more quickly. The screen also controls the heating and audio and you get a fuel computer as well. Haven't written the model history yet but basically in 98 the S and SE were available. In 99 the sport came along and the SE got 17" wheels. End of 2000 the model had a face lift and the sport was discontinued. Then the S model was just named the GS300. A year later the GS300 was dropped leaving only the SE until July 2003 when the sport made a comeback.
  20. It's going to be 2 or 3 mpg less than an IS200 auto.
  21. The LF-C is a concept. Some of the design elements will appear on new Lexus models.
  22. make sure they are complete with centre caps.
