Evening guys Had my car up on my mates ramps today to have a look under car to make sure everything is as it should be. Found coolant residue on parts as pictured below. Is the water pump failing? and what is the pipe it's coming out off? I don't lose coolant, or have the need to top up, well not often. Thanks in advance

MIJ are custom exhausts! they make them to suit your needs. I never doubted that..and they are probably within your region.. I was talking about the big picture
-
Not much help, but I've also seen puma systems on ebay - wonder what they are like Normally the best bet is custom, but that can be costly
-
Thanks a lot guys for replying with useful information, and the link :) As it goes for fitting, are they just 3M and screw down jobbies - or will I require a fitting kit?
-
Morning guys I am thinking about getting a second hand rear spoiler with brake light for my GS300 MK2. Are these difficult to fit, and is there anything additionally required to fit the rear spoiler? Any guides? Thanks in advance, Addz

Hope someone can shed some light. My blueprint upper control arms turned up today. The ball joints appear to have no grease in them, just air when I squeeze it gently? Can someone confirm these are ok? The bottom genuine ball joints had loads of grease in them, but the blueprint upper control arms appear to have only air in them? Regards, Addz

hi i never really looked at them as i had them delivered to the garage direct and they fitted them for me.they came complete with bushes and top ball joints. i did see them before they were fitted and they looked good quality.sorry cannot be more helpfull. cheers kev. No problem Kev, thanks for your input :)
-
Thank you very much chaps. I've used blueprint on previous Toyotas, but mainly engine service parts. Nothing to do with the suspension side. Kevin, the upper blueprint front top wishbone - was the physical structure of the wishbone thinner, also how did you find the bush and ball joint quality? Thanks :)

Evening guys. I don't normally look at ebay parts, but seeing as Toyota want so much for control arms, I thought I'd see if these are any good. I popped into Toyota and they wanted something like £450 odd per control arm. Ebay you can buy them for £70 each, but are they actually worth it or any good? Anyone who has used these, or knows anything good or bad on them, information would be highly appreciated. I am soon to replace ball joints, and outer tie rods so thought it would be an idea to replace these. Regards, Addz
-
That looks really nice - not seen one in such good condition before
-
I payed about £120 at my local garage, and I supplied the belt
-
I also get a knock over bumps, and uneven roads. I am going to replace ball joints and see how it improves as these cars are prone to eat them

Cheers andy, it says 5w30. As my motors done 90k do I go for Fully Synthetic or Part synthetic? Thanks
-
It that fully or part synthetic 5w 30? Also which would you recommend when I do a full oil change? Thanks
-
What oil is currently in your engine? I have no idea as I purchased the car recently I need to top up the oil so need to know which oil I should apply Thanks guys
-
That would be brilliant Rick
-
Evening guys. Which oil brand and grade do you recommend for a MK2 GS300 2000 plate with 90k? Input will be appreciated :) Regards, Addz
-
They look very nice Tigerfish
-
I will be going for a similar colour - thanks for input Thanks for your reply Do you have any pics? Not at the moment. I can do some of the wheels off the car in the morning, if you want some on the car, that will probably be at the weekend unless I end up putting them on one evening. Will be nice them once they are on :)

Thanks for your reply Do you have any pics?

Evening I am getting my alloys refurbed soon as they aren't looking too great as they are flaking. Whilst I am getting them refurbed, I'm not sure if I should stick to the original silver colour, or go for a Graphite grey/Gunmetal grey colour? What do you guys think - input and photos welcomed My car is a MK2 GS300 in silver with the 5 spoke alloys Regards, Addz

Afternoon guys I am pondering on getting a rear spoiler for my MK2 GS300, and have gone through ebay to which I've seen a few different styles. Can anyone recommend me a good spoiler, preferably without spoiler light. I have come across this - any reviews on it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-GS-GS300-GS400-GS430-Trunk-Lip-Spoiler-1998-2005-/200647751597?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb789b7ad Regards, Addz
-
Thanks. I will keep an eye open for a set. 39bus - if you hear of a set by chance, do let me know, or point me in the direction. Thank you in advance
-
Super - always nice wrapping alloys with good quality tyres. I'm guessing these are off a LS400
-
Brilliant! Thanks fot the info Where did you purchase from?
