I bought a LEXUS ES300 96 with 77000 miles on it recently. Owner has not replaced the timing belt .. I dont have the owner's manual..Can you guys tell me when to replace the timing belt..also he didnt seem to tune-up the engine also...I am getting only 300 miles per tank mileage..is that usual or should I tune up to get more mileage... TX in advance for the suggestion..

Happened to me last spring, sounds like you need to replace it. Not that tough of a job. I bought my replacement off of ebay for about $20.00. The install took about a half hour. Most likely the plastic track inside the antenna broke apart inside the motor. What i did is took the entire assembly out of my car. 1. Take out of car. (Usually held on with a few bolts.) 2. Unscrew cover the to the motor housing. 3. Locate the piece of track that is broken off inside. 4. Put on the new antenna. You will probably see that the instructions say to turn ON the radio, and then feed the new antenna track attached to the metal antenna down into the motor. Then turn the radio OFF and let the plastic track slide into the motor. This should pretty much take care of it. Im sure there is a site with better instructions on it, when i bought the antenna off of ebay it came with online tech support. Hope this helps Chris ← Thanx guys. I will try buying on ebay and replace it myself..

HI I bought a LEXUS ES300 96. The power antenna does not go up and down. when I switch on the radio..it makes some loud motor winding noise but the antenna doesnt go up and down..can any one suggest me what should I do...

HI Guys I just bought a 1996 ES 300 for 7K and 77K miles on it. Do you think is it a good deal. I forgot to ask the owner about 60K mile service. Since the owner is out of the country how do I check the 60 K maintenance was done...Also When the car runs on rogh road..the shocks seems to be rough...do I need to repalce any shocks..??or some thing else is causing that...I appreciate ur advice..

I just bought a 1996 LEXUS ES 300 with 77K on it (single Owner) . Runs excellent. I forgot to ask the owner about the Timing belt replacement. Have you got any Idea when is the necessity to change the Timing belt @ 77 K. He did not give me the manual to look for the Maintenance schedule. also any input about the critical maintainance (if necessary) tips at this mileage would be appreciated... Thanks in advance.
