I removed mine last week to fit a new one and I used mole grips, if yours won't move with mole grips I think you are going to have a problem even if you get a proper key, obviously jammed in somehow it is only plated alloy so it is probably corroded inside the thread.

Ok,Will keep trying,thnx for your reply. :duh:

Hi,I know this has been on before,but no one replied.

Has any one got or know were i can purhase or borrow, a socket to fit the antenna nut on my gs300 se 1999, only im going to change the mast and fit a new one ,and nut.there is a special socket to fit this kind of nut.but i dont know where to get one from.

Dont fancy the idea of useing a screwdriver in case i scratch the paintwork.

Would appreiceate any help.

Have tried using mole grips etc,but it wont budge.

Thnx :winky:

It can't be a fuse unless it's loose.Sounds more like a connector or bad earth as you state that the fault is intermittent.Check for dirt,rust etc around your earth points.

Hi,Have already done that,but just been and tried again,by changeing the lead from the low beam ballast with the high beam it works ,so defo the ballast has gone.just didnt know that they were differant connecter leads on the low and high .

dont seppose you know of a ballast for sale do you .

Regards,

Hi,

Can someone help me with a problem please.

I have changed both high and low headlights,for the hid with ballasts,been on the car for above 12 mths,with no problems.

Then over the past couple of weeks,the left nearside headlight low beam as been comeing on intermitantly.ie switch on lights no left hand one,switch on again and it comes on,and stays on.

Then after a few days the same side as failed to come on.

i have replaced the ballast and bulb, fuses (under bonnet by the battery)and still no joy.

So it seems it could be in the loom unless there is any other fuses that i have missed.

Any ideas

Sorry about spelling, had a few beers.

Bonded windscreens contribute to the structural integrity and stiffness of the car.  You may not believe it, but if the windscreen is not fitted correctly it will effect road handling and crash safety.

I had mine replaced about 4 weeks ago,by autowindscreen,they came to my place of work on the friday about 11.00 drove home at about 4 ish,noticed on the following day that the windscreen had sunk on the passinger side,so rang them ,arranged for the following friday,the problem in the first place was that there was supposed to be a thin rubber type strip around the inside of glass,that the glass rests on,but on the first screen it was missing, so the second one fitted purfect with no problem,all it cost me was the 60 excess.for two screens,lol

Hi,Anyone got an upto date satnav disc for my gs300 1999,

Hi,

I have just fitted Hid kits on my gs300se 1999,so i wouldnt think that you have them fitted,think they only fitted them on 2000 upwards.

They make a hell of a lot difference though, (their bostin) as they say.

As for the h/light leveller its there for you to change your lights if, for instance you have a weight in the back,you can adjust them down.

Hi Blackbird

Where did you get the HID kit from and how much did it cost?

Matt

Its a company called Mobileautocare, on 01949837526, name is Andy,not sure if he has any more of 9006 tho might only have the 9005 which is the main beam.

You can ring him and find out. cost is a couple of hundred quid.

You would need to fit a lower profile tyre to keep the same circumference otherwise your speedo will be out. Something like 265x35x18.

Thanks,understand

Hi, Can i fit a slightly bigger tyre on the back of my gs300 1999,fitted with 245x40x18 at the moment ,so could i fit say 255 0r 265x40x18 instead.

Thanks.

these have a tendancy to be buckeled.. i would have them checked at a local car tyre place before parting cash.

The laquer will need to be stripped and repainted.. thats probably 60 a wheel.

I have had experience with these wheels so thats why i went aftermarket in the end

Hi,These wheels are as straight as a die,came off my own Gs300 se only last week.steering was perfect and no wobbles,so they are really ok.

just need a refurb, just had a good deal on some new ones thats all.

Hi,

Can someone please tell me the type of headlght bulb is fitted in my GS300 se 1999, is it 9005 or 9006 just the low beam please,

Thanks,

Hi,

Ok, how do i eject the cd disc out of the satnav unit in the boot of my gs300 1999.

I want to find out if it needs upgrading.

please help.

Thanks, steve

Hi

Can anyone please tell me ho to post a piccy on this forum.

I think the DVD version kicked in during October 2000. Look at the arrangement of buttons around the screen. If there are buttons down the left edge it's CD, no buttons and it's DVD.

A 99 is almost certainly CD if I'm right (and is considerably cheaper to get a later version of than a DVD).

←

Thanks for your reply,there are buttons on the left so it must be a cd.

Hi,Andy,

Sorry to hear about your prognosis, its :tsktsk:

Our thoughts are with you m8.

Hope every thing work out for you.
