Hi guys

Just gave the car a clean out today and noticed the two fuse boxes in the footwells

so i removed the covers just to see what fuses are in each one (for future reference)

What i did not notice was any removal tool for the fuses and there was no way

i could remove any fuses with just my fingers if i needed to.

So i take it the mk2 gs300 came with a fuse removal tool but mines is..

a,, lost

b,, somewhere where else i can't find

Can someone tell me where i should look to find mine,(if i have one)

cheers

and happy Easter

Alan

I had pretty much the same problem

I got mine removed by the the rac for £20 with no damage to the wheels.

Alan

Don`t know if this is the same type of setup but this is

for a gs boot...

Hi guys

I have tried following a few links on the forum for a pdf download of the workshop manual

but they all seem out of date/deleted.

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction for a working pdf download

of the mk2 gs300 se workshop manual.

cheers

Hi Guys

Just back from my first long run since buying the car (1998 gs300)

Sitting on the motorway with the cruise control set at 60mph

and the sat nav saying 57mph all was good with the world.

Then i got to wondering about the revs,

The engine was spinning at 2000rpm at that speed

Can anyone tell if this is correct ?

does everyone's car sit at 2k rpm or there abouts at an indicated 60mph ?

Just shows i had nothing else to worry about in this great car lol

cheers

Alan

I got one of these last week...

I am getting one fitted the end of next week so i was just wondering what to expect,

cheers

Alan

The link works ok for me

Alan

Hi Guy`s

Just a wee update on this,

On the way to Lexus Edinburgh this morning to enquire about a new lock nut key

and the other half decides she wants to go shopping first.

So as i drive into the morrisons car park i seen an rac van sitting

so i parked next to it and asked the driver if he knew of a way to remove the lock nuts

anyway long story short,,the wheel lock nuts are no longer a problem.result

cheers for the input guy`s

Alan

cheers for the reply,,

Has anyone ever had to do that here,,just to get an idea of cost.

cheers

Alan

Hi Guys

I picked up my new (to me) 1998 gs300 last week

I am pleased with it so far apart from a couple of small niggles,

1, exhaust is blowing a bit,,soon to be fixed

2,brakes seem a bit spongy/soft,,hopefully just need a good bleeding (no warning lights showing)

3,no locking wheel nut removal key.

does any one know if lexus could supply a key (i have a four digit code in the service book)

I will try to upload a pic of the spare lock nut incase someone has a spare key that will fit.

cheers

Alan

Hi Steve

About halfway down the page on this link is states it has a camchain rather than a belt

http://www.familycar...sts/LexusLS460/

Alan

Only thing i can suggest is to slacken off the bleed nipple on the caliper

then try to push back the piston(s)
