Thanks. I'll do that. So you think it's unlikely the seals around the glass roof leaking?

Hi All After some advice please. My GS300 sunroof is starting to leak water around the sunroof... I think the seals around the glass sunroof are worn and need a new seal around. Any idea how I can reseal? I couldn't find any seal specific for this car. Can I get get a universal seal and fit around the glass? Just after some advice on how best to approach it and type of seal I need? Thanks all!

Hi Matt They are rare wheels, its hard to find the staggered wheel set. I've got a set on my GS300 Mk1. Even rarer to find one that hasnt been welding etc. Are you looking to sell them?

GS300 1996 Start Up Issues Help Needed To Save Car!
J4AVX replied to J4AVX's topic in Engine & Transmission
Hi All. The cars back at home now parked up. Mechanics gave up on it and sadly no body has been able to diagnose the issue. Its off road now and will try and see if I can get some other mechanics to look at it but for now taking a little break. -
GS300 1996 Start Up Issues Help Needed To Save Car!
J4AVX replied to J4AVX's topic in Engine & Transmission
Yes security light goes out, we don't believe it to be an immobiliser as the start starts and can give it a few revs before it cuts out. Once it cuts out then there's no sparks. Does you or anyone else know if I buy a replacement ECU module, does it need to be reprogrammed? The conclusion so far is its some sort of signal issue somewhere. My mechanic has given up on it and my only option is now to book it in at main Lexus dealers.... -

Hi Colin. Thanks for your reply. The mechanic did a diagnostic test (the old school blink test). No errors came back at all. I was hoping this would pick something up but no joy sadly -
GS300 1996 Start Up Issues Help Needed To Save Car!

Thanks Jon Dee. I will pass this info onto my mechanic. My last option to consider is buying another GS300 and doing a full engine and electronics switch over. It will cost me some money but its a car I want to keep alive -
Hi All I'm in need of desperate help to save my beloved GS300 sport 1996 MK1. The car starts and cuts off within a few seconds. Been with a mechanic for 2 weeks and no joy. I have changed the following but still issue persists! Distributor Crankshaft sensor Ignition coil pack Ignition ignitor Sparks Can anyone help or recommend anyone who could look at this? I really want to keep her alive and on the road but I've hit a brick wall! I don't want to end up selling her for parts. Any help is appreciated. It's GS300 1996 mk1 sport. 2JZ GE engine.

Hi All I've owned my Lexus GS300 MK1 1996 Sport for 8 months now. Absolutely love it. Had new springs fitted All wheels fully refurbished Brand new tyres Machine Polish Full Service done Not many of these MK1 GS300 Sport around, doing my best to bring it back to really good condition and keep it completely stock. Its a dream to drive and has the legendary 2JZ GE engine - super smooth. Enjoy :)

So had lambda/o2 sensor replaced but problem is still there! This is exactly what happens: Starts up fine when I start car first time for first use. After driving a while, turn engine off and come back to the car after a short while then starts up and cuts out straight away, start again and doesn't crank just keeps ticking. Take the key out put back in and starts and cuts out. 10 15min later starts normal Driving me nuts!

Hi All I have a Lexus GS300 MK1 1996 (S140) that i have had for 5 months. Recently starting getting problems with starting up the car, the car cranks but doesn't start up, then randomly sometimes it will start up. When i turn the engine off and try starting back up, it starts up then cuts out within a few seconds. I can't find any mechanics/garages who have a diagnostic machine to run due to the OBD port being so old (its a circle 16pin one). Been told it 'might' be a Camshaft sensor any advice is appreciated. Thanks

Set of 4 suspension springs for sale. For Lexus Gs300 1996 mk1 1st gen. Tool them off my gs300 as I've purchased full coil over set. In good condition. Make me an offer I'll let them go pretty cheap. Buyer must collect or I can delivery within 35mile radius for a very small charge to cover fuel. Pics available

Hi All Does anyone know where i can purchase some coil springs for GS300 MK1 Sport 1996 model? I need front and rear replaced. I have searched all over and can't find a company that stocks them? I've been advised to get custom made ones. The GS300 Sport MK1 came with 25mm lowered springs so I need the same ones. Anyone know where i can find or any recommendations on custom made springs? Any help is appreciated.

Hi All I've just purchased a Lexus GS300 MK1 Sport. Finally found one after looking for a while. Prev. had LS400. Any MK1 Sport fans out there that i can connect with please? I've got a list of work that I need to do! Can anyone tell me what the standard MK1 Sport suspension set up is? I'm looking for some after market springs to lower the car down to 35mm but finding springs is impossible! (Pics to follow very soon, waiting for a nice day to take pics)

Hi All Fitted some new LED number plate lights today on my LS400. They were around £4 off eBay. Its a quick and easy upgrade and makes such a big difference! Gives it a more upgraded look... very bright I must say. Gave the plastic lenses a good clean aswell to enhance the brightness 🙂 Next job for weekend is upgrading foglights to clear white ones to match with xenon's 😄 excited!
