Sounds feasable. Will wait for any more replies before I tend to that.

I have a problem with the above and searched all over but although the problem is mentioned no solution is evident. The problem is all the lighting is fine but on startup the tach & speedo stay at zero. A couple of big bangs on top of the dash usually brings if on, sometimes it comes on by itself after a few miles. I've had it out looking for bad connections and also the cluster was fully renovated a couple of years back. The odemeter and cruise work fine. Any ideas on this would be welcome. There is nothing in the sticky concerning this. It is not always both dials, it can be either or both.

Get your antenna from ebay and make sure it's stainless steel. Here the tutorial. http://www.lexls.com/tutorials/audio/powerantenna.html

MAF is the first thing i'd look at and there are plenty of posts about it.

I've never had a noisey tyre and I've tried a few. P.S. I'm stone deaf.

Surely it is easier to check the fluid level and the pads than to wait for an answer.

Lexsmoov you should start your own thread but it does sound like the serpentine belt has gone.

If the bumper is easily peeling it has been either replaced or repainted incorrectly. Probably not correctly primed. Lexus will sort it out I'm sure, after rollocking their paint shop.

The engines were different from 97 and they are interference. If the timing belt goes it's a big expensive job so check if yours is the earlier one. If it is an earlier one I'd not worry for a while yet unless you are itching to spend some money. If it's the later one get it done asap or this gem may not be the bargain you thought.

I'd be looking at the mass air flow sensor. It is in between the air filter and the engine.

Dead right, pull the sidelight forward and you are there.

Biggest cause of noise is Tyres. If your tyres are due then that is the first option. Even new ones can cause it so do a search on hear for the best ones to get.

This is a common fault on these cars. There is loads of threads on all the Lexus sites. Do a search and you'll get more info than I can give you.

You'll get more mpg using cruise control, I get high 20's on a run.

No idea but brake wires go through the trunk hinge harness and that is a problem on these cars.
