TigerFish you are amazing! Thx.

Although I know where I couldn't tell you what it's called. Done some Googling yesterday but couldn't find a diagram of the exhaust allowing me to name the broken section. Anyone got a diagram?

Sounds fantastic but only because it's cracked. Kwik-Fit suggest I need to replace the whole thing but didn't have a price (as it's non-stock) but will have a price by tomorrow. Anybody got any idea what I can expect to pay or where I might source one? Cheers John

Hi, On Thursday I moved a little quicky off from the lights, I had an annoying Range Rover to my left. A couple of miles later I notced that the the power felt a little lumpy, initially I though it was dirt in my fuel (and the fuel light had just come on). The lumpy power feed continued for the rest of my 10 mile journey home. Sadly the following morning it's still here. It seems to strugggle to go above 2,000 rpm and seems to want to change up (slowly) at about 2,000 rpm!!! Is it possible I over revved the engine and it's gone a little over protective? Cheers Jonny

Thanks for the Blackcircles website. looks good for both advice and price. Cheers Jonny " steering judder".... usually thats more likely to be warped brake discs! I thought that too but the front discs were replace at the last service!! Cheers Jonny

I know it's been a while since I was here but I thought someone might help . My GS300 is booked for a service this coming Friday and I hope to have the tyres sorted before then so I can eliminate the steering judder under braking. Yep I got that too. I blame my wife she been taking it to work recently!! Any comments on recommended tyres welcome Cheers Jonny

Hi All, Not been here to often sorry but I'm looking for help/advise. I have a 1998 Lexus GS300 with Michelin Pilot Primacy on the front and Yokohama A460 on the rear. The Yokohamas on the back need replacing and might use Yokohamas again. But should I use Yokohama A460 or is there a better alternative? I do a your average mixture of motorway and A roads, covering some 20,000 miles per annum. And happy to pay around £250 for the pair. Obviously I'll happily pay less for the right choice :D Cheers Jonny

SteveJ, Me thinks you done the right thing..... I've only had my GS300 4 days and I payed more that I originally wanted to spend (granted I bought a Mk II rather than a Mk I) but got a better car. So my available conversion budget is GONE :o so I'll stay petrol for a while and convert later in the yr. No way will the government (and don't get me started on them :tsktsk: ) be allowed to hike prices too much too soon. Still reckon over next three yrs I'll save money and make the car more marketable by converting. Enjoying the first days Jonny -

Agreed the gap in price between petrol and LPG will narrow but it's likely to be near 10yrs before they meet, if at all. Have a look here has an excellent calculator http://www.greenfuel.org.uk/ Cheers Jonny -

Sure is a dilema, want the GS300 but man they go through fuel like it's free. My previous car was a Nissan 200SX and that too drink especially if you booted it!!! John -

Hi Colin, Had a email from Lexus Contact Centre, they don't recommend converting to LPG. They never said don't do it just that the have no authorised/recommended dealers so cannot offer any suggestions....... other than the LexusOwnersClub. Suppose that is some form of recommendation for this site. :D John
