  1. Does anyone know what is the model number of the ML amplifier in '01 GS300? Thank you
  2. Can you suggest an easy way to test the amp? If it is the speaker do you know if I can get another from a different source? Thanks again for your time.
  3. Hook up a test speaker and see if garble is still there, if it is amp is bad. If not speaker was bad. <_< ← Thanks Turbo, I thought about it, but then I figure that if the amp was bad all the speakers should sound the same. I am convinced that it is the rear speaker only. I guess I was trying to figure out why. If it sounds garbled does it mean that the speaker is blown? I do play music loud, but never loud enough, that it would cause the speaker to blow. The car is out of warranty (50K) and I do think the ML components should last longer. Anybody else had an issue with the rear speaker? Herk
  4. Hi everyone, Is there a way to tell if my rear speaker (’01 GS300 w/ML) is in good condition? It sounds like garble but not all the time. At low volume you cannot tell, but as the volume increases then you can clearly hear it. It started a couple of days ago. Thank you.

  6. Thanks guys. That is what i told her to do. I will post results once available.
  7. Hi everybody, A friend's '01 GS300 has the Airbag warning light on. I did a quich search for any reset procedures, but did not see anything for '01 GS. She said the light came on when she started the car Monday morning and it stayed on since. Any info would be very appreciative. Herk
  8. Are you sure is cloudy on the inside or there is moister inside the headlight? I bought a can of PLEXUS (no relation to Lexus) to clean my wife's BMW plastic rear window, and then I used it to clean my headlights. What a difference. I just spray on the lens, let it stay on for about 10 minutes, and then buffed it. Amazing results. Herk
  9. I'm afraid they did send me the engine filter, but when I called them he swore up and down that I had the correct part # to match the cabin air filter. They said I could send it back for a full refund, no problem. But that still leaves me without a cabin air filter. I called my local Toyota dealer, and they don't even carry a cabin air filter for a 2001 Lexus GS300. I don't know who posted the previous message, but I'm not sure a Toyota cabin air filter is the same as a Lexus cabin air filter, seeing as they didn't even carry a Lexus cabin filter. They told me to call the Lexus dealer ← I just received my filter from ToyotaandLexusParts.com. The bar code on the box says 'Element, Air Refiner', with the following part # 87139-50030 and it came in the red Toyota box. The charge was $25.50. Herk ← I just cheked the site and they are listing the price as $35.07 ← That is correct. But when you place the order it shows only $25.50. I just replaced the filter in my car and it is extactly the same as the old filter. BTW-The old filter was very dirty. I drove out for lunch and the air was on high for maybe a minute and then it went into low. Before I would drive to my destination and the air would be on high for about 5 minutes. I guess the clean filter does the job. Herk

  11. Thanks Neo. I see what you are talking about.
  12. If the leather is shiney and hard, then you need to apply a conditioner. I use Lexol leather products once every quorter. It keeps the leather moist and soft to the touch. I clean first and then apply the conditioner with my hands. Herk
  13. Hello, I was looking a set of L-Tuned 18" Salina Wheels on EBay for my '01 GS300. The following is part of the description "The wheel in this auction is recommended to be mounted on the rear of your Lexus GS and is not intended to be installed on the front." Could someone please explain to me why you can mont them on the rear but not on the front? Does size has anything to do with it? The size is 18 x 9.5, with a 45mm offset. BTW - the item number is 7965586133 Thanks, Herk
  14. Kojo, Welcome to the forum. Try this ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...sspagename=WDVW Herk
  15. I just spoke with the Brembo US office. (the 800 number is under "contacts" on their website) They mentioned that www.buybrakes.com is an authentic retailer for their product. They also mentioned the Tire Rack and some place in Florida. ← Thanks for the info. I just happend to look on the bottom of this page and saw the www.buybrakes.com advertising. It looks like they have several options regarding Brembo products. I will most likely purchase from them. Herk
