I have had the car for some time but have never realy come to grips with the ECT buttons on the consule. I am aware about the Power button that it holds the car in gear longer but the other eludes me. In consequence I have used it mainly in the neutral position, that is without either in operation. At least no indicator alight on the dash. Thanks, I did do a search but no results found.

Should have said it is a 1993 es250 but same as es300 except for the motor and no electric seats

My air conditioning has an unpleasant smell. I have some spray in air conditioning conditioner but no idea where to spray it. Can any one tell me where the intakes are. I also have one of the needles on the rev counter completley gone. I know of the expensive repair for them but has any one tried dismantling the consul and using flourescent paint in the needles. I know its cheap but if it works

I have had the 2.5 v6 version for 4 years and have had a great run out of it. At this time I have done 146000 kms in it without problem. I bought it at 81000 kms. Mine is a 1993 model. I am in the mind to keep it for the forseeable future as I cannot see anything that would replace it. In my part of the world (New Zealand) we can buy them for about 1500 pounds and there seems to be heaps of parts available for them. The es 300 seems to be the most popular but there seems little other difference. Mine does not have electric seats, but I don't miss that. Thye needles on the dash are going with the rev gone altogether. I am nursing the others by turning the dimmer down a tad and don't seem to have depreciated any more. Good luck with yours.

If it is the background lights you mean, rather than the needles I got this advise from the US site. "Whack the top of the dash above the speedo with the flat of your hand" It worked for me. Needles adifferent matter.

Just to add to this I also have a Windom 2.5 v6 it uses the 2vz-fe motor which is used in the Camry Prominent. It may not be available in the UK but there are a number of these here in New Zealand along with many es300 Windoms Sorry that should read 4vz-fe engine. It basically has all the bells and whistles of the ES300 except for the electric seat adjustment. Same body etc.
