  1. Does this apply to the 300 aswell as the 200. Thanks for any reply.
  2. Don't bye cheap ones your luck out more than likely been there done that.
  3. Had squeak from mine was engine bay. And was the timing belt was dry. My bro( who's a mechanic) sprayed silicone spray on the belt. No noise now. Any spray like ***** Pitt shine or dash cleaner is a silicone spray. Hope get it sorted
  4. Had same prob with my 300 wen bought it management light would come on intermittently. Then after a while wen engine was cold would be on till warmed up an turned on then of. Me dad put on diagnostic and said was lambada (sensor 3 pretty sure). Found really good read in car mag will find out which 1 as there doing up a is 200. It said that these sensors stick open wen old. On start up or wen cold. Was gona bye cheap 1 of e/bay. But me dad beet me to it an got one from Toyota. E/bay £60. Dealer £128 including vat. Had no probs since. Touch wood. But did read else were that not good idea to put after market parts as far as sensors an like we're conserned. Hope u get it sorted. Will find out car magazine with read up in an post on here cheers
  5. I have a 300 sallon on a 02 plate with 60thou on the clock had gs300 before, same engine but considerable diff in performance. I test drove a 200 sport just after buying is300. And at low speeds not much diff. But wen u want it to its got a lot more get up an go.ALOT:). As for mpg best on full tank 463 miles. Not great round town 20mpg tops. But Gota expect that. Ifu drive sensibly then is pretty good considering it's 3litre. Alot better than the gs I had before. Only one thing with the cost of fuel going on like it is. An u hot a lead foot will start getting pricey. In boots as well done 8000 since had it an all ready had new boots all round. And now need new ones. And it's not worth putting cheap tyres on a this sort of motor. Hope u get Wat your lookin for. Ps. It's nice to have a 300 wen pull up next to a 200. As though they look the same, but you defo will tell the diff wen pull away.;)
  6. Pretty sure it is. But check that it's a sport ecu,etc, and engine. Like for like. As think the sport model ecu's are diff to standerd is 200's
  7. Was thinken along same lines as its the same engine as supra. Also same as older gs 300's. As this was my 1st car. But did the they' put manuel box in the Gs300's with that engine. Or is that out of the question.
  8. I have is 300 an think the same awfull system literally cuts power wen u want it. I have enough power in my 300. to get the backend out. but even when I turn my TRC off. it still cuts in when it feels like it. think it's a great idea to be able to turn off fully and on constantly when you wish. Is it that simple. To just rewire it.
  9. That's wat I mean. Sideways action. Don't happen to good with auto. But saved my life as just pulled tendons in ankle falling of down hill M-bike lol so need the auto now. Still like u say would of been nice with manuel box. Respect for reply.
  10. Nothing wrong with it apart from its an auto not what I wanted but couldnt find a saloon 300 with manuel transmission.
  11. Can i swap the e-shift auto box for a 6speed manual. In my is300. If so will I need to do the hole transmission, and how much work is involved. Would I be able to use a donour car for parts.
  12. Welcome to the Lexus forums DannyWSmithy :)
