Hiya

Does anyone know were i can get a metal Gs300 Sport Alloy locking tool, i have searched this site silly but remember seeing it on a forum. The plastic one has disintegrated to nothing.

Thanks

Hiya...

Its not the fuel pump as its in the tank directly behind the rear seats.. Only suggestion i can tell you about the pump that if the car is left parked up for a long while and no petrol in it the pump will rust up with the condensation in the tank... However good news is that u can take the pump apart and put it back together again with a bit of work... It a high pressure pump so watch if your taking it out...

It a complete nightmare to get at the pump mind u...

With thanks

Hiya...

My car started doing it again this time it doesnt go off until i unplug the Battery...

Just the siren no lights or horn etc... Goes for say 20-30 secs and then stops for less than 10 and goes again...

Any help would be apperciated.. Also does anyone know were the alarm is located in the car till i brake the connection...

Thanks...

what model do you have?

←

Mk1 1997 sport Uk ...

Thanks

Hiya..

My alarm keeps going off when the car is started and moving along the road... Any ideas??? And what about disabling it completely... It does this at stand still as well but only when the car is started... It goes off for approx 30 sec goes silent for 3 and goes off again...

The car works fine and no lights are lit on the dash etc.. The only thing out of place is the alarm keeps going off..

I pulled the Battery out left it a while to reset the ecu but no joy...

Any info would be apperciated..

hiya all

Right see the thingy that stops the blades lifting at high speeds were do i get another set of them... See i didnt see them when i last changed my blades through them out so now i dont have any and at 90mph or so the visablity starts to get poor in the rain... Any help would be apperciated...

i dont know but if you find a metal one be sure to give me a shout as i need one two.. The teeth on mine are dead and i had to use it and a part of vise grips last time in a nice warm garage but in a cold dark road it would be a nightmare...

Thanks

How did you get on .... Let us all know...

The gs300 has the same engine as the mkiv supra which means there is an endless supply of upgrades avaiable for it... Just remember that the auto box isnt that good at large hp but can handle up to 300ish...

I got mine at 243 with some simple upgrades that cost less that a good service...

I dont want to make it to fast as i stepped out of an M3 Evo which was far to fast for rear wheel drive and into a powerful but elegant lexus...

If you have say 3 grand you could have your lexus flipping the flat cap back with some kick a** horse power...

I raced my mates cosworth in a staight line and he didnt kick my butt... he won but no my that much there is somthing about them turbos ;)...

I removed the gold badges on my 97 sport and it does have pins on the lexus the gs 300 and the emblem... I just used a heat gun with no floss or fishing line... How ever it seems like it would have been slightly easier to use the fishing line to start it... There are little plastic things inside the holes to grip the pins on the badges... I removed these two and then got the holes filled and resprayed... Looks a lot better but this is coming from someone that does not like badges...

I am working on removing the GS 300 in the boot refector part... Will keep you posted as everyone says its impossible...

Hiya dude

Right man its all sweet... Just tell the top man that you are unhappy the other dudes you spoke to and was looking to chat with someone with a bit of power... and you would like to have him rectifiy the situation... Explain that you left the sheet with them and its simple they replaced the wrong side... also explain that this has been a handlen for you as you have more important things that you could be spending the short time you do have on this earth doing... So i expect that this problem will be rectified promptly and at no additional cost to me...

If you really want to throw the boot in tell him that you find it inconcievable that they replaced a perfectly working wishbone... then ask him are you letting apprentices work on my luxury vechicle as i read that Merc only have qualified techs work on customers vechicles... blahblahblah Is this the standard i can expect when i bring my car in for the next service....

With Thanks

Hiya

My mate makes plates as he owns a sign shop but noone has ever said anything to him about registering with anyone... The funny thing is i dont think that law applys in Ireland anyway... So if anyone needs plates i can get him to make them up for you guys legally...

Thanks

Hiya

Hiya

I dont want to sound like i am an expert but i have a book for timing belts of all makes and it says that this engine inline 6 and v8 have been identified as an interferance engine... This means that if the belt nips its game over and a bucket load of doh to fix...

Think about it 24v and 32v at say 12-15 quid each no to mention the stems, head gasket, belts, idolers, bolts and the labour i had a diesel 2.5 master that nipped and it cost me 900 quid to sort and there were only 4 vavles hit... And thats me removing and replacing the head myself...

Hiya does anyone have the new update cd or were can i get one also how do i tell which version of the software i have v reg ls400... Anyone know if there is details for N.Ireland on the newest update...

HIya

The dipstick on for the gearbox oil is strange so i checked it again... On mine it says HOT and COOL point is when i checked it and it had not be started for a few days the oil was just under the top nic for HOT... If this make since to you what does that mean... I thought it should be down the bottom at the top nic of the COOL...

Oh yea there is no noise when i rocked it back and forth... Any other suggestions...

With Thanks

Ok man i checked the level it was ok.... Anything else you can think of that could be causing the problem...

Thanks

Hiya

I have a mk1 gs300 sport 97... If i am driving along and pull the shifter from d to 2 or 1 for engine braking i get a fairly big viberation and a tiny noise... Likewise if i come to a stop and put it in to Reverse and i also get the same vibration... It doesnt happen everytime but quite alot... I just wanted to know if anyone has ever heard or had the same problem and would know what it is or what to check...

With Thanks

Hi mate

I read your post about it thats a shame.. buy any chance did you check with your local council office or even the cop that called to your door???

Oh and tell us this how far away from your house did the guy get and is there any bars between your house and were he smashed it...

Thanks for taking the time to reply... And just in case you get any more info on the car i would be well interested in somthing like that...

Thanks

Hiya all

I was wondering do any of you know where a damaged gs 300 is... I am willing to look at anything as long as it a repairable. I like the mk1 better than the mk2 so if anyone knows were any are lying please get back tome..

Oh

After a lengthy search around the net I found a stolen recovered 97 sport if anyone is interested i think it was 6000... Found a few ls400's and a is200..

With Thanks

PS great forum!!!!
