no offense but i think they are butt ugly ....oh no no dont get mad its just me.

jack the fropnt of the car up and take off the engine under cover. on the driver's side of the engine there should be an oil filter( you might need to take one more cover off) the oil drain bolt is on the oil pan. i believe its a 17mm

the lock button is to overide so you can change gear with out the key in the ignition or the brake depressed. its convinient when you need to move your car quickly when the battery is unplugged or something.

well you can only get toyota coolant from toyota or lexus as for where your coolant is going that may have to be looked at

any suspension wor done on the car?

you can try and buy one of those conditioners for your power steering

what color?

ductape is 200mph tested and proved by nascar

the wheel bearings may have some to do with but after 10 years no matter how many or little miles it has on it the weight of the engine and trans is on the engine and trans mounts (but i guess if there are very few miles on it its less of a problem) i recently changed both my motor mounts and trans mounts with some other things and a world of difference i felt. its more or less a new car! no vibration no noise of engine floating on a cloud feeling again

i think he means the ac fans they look like they are for the radiator

it helps if you have a ramp but well get the front of the car high enough so that you can crawl under it then jack up the trans a bit to take the load off of the mount. there should be a brace between the trans take the 4 bolts off then the brace comes off oh and the 4nuts? that are attatched to that is the mount to the brace( i know this sounds confusing) then it should just be another 4 bolts to take the mount off. good luck oh use a small piece of wood between the jack and the trans.

its somewhere in the gallery in the LS section(of course)

this might seem stupid but whats gumball? when you say fines is that like speeding? meaning is it that illeagal cross country race?

the expansion valve is in the dash with the cooling unit. bottom line if you are so affraid just buy all new parts

thanks ;) B)

yea if the fluid level is low then you better watch out for your alternator getting the ps fluid on it

try check your sun roof it starts to sink after the years and then the rubber linning starts to make noise with the wind. the sun roof can be shimmed to raise the height.

motor mounts, trans mounts need changing. i changed mine along with some other things and it runs like new

wait wait not a half inch, it was a 14mm socket or wrench for the tentioner

all you need is a half inch drive off of a breaker bar to "un" tension the tentioner. then slip it off. you might need to take the fan off. the belt diagram should be on the inside of the hood or somewhere in the frontal engine compartment.

mainly when the ac is on and when the motor gets a tad on the hot side

you dont need to take it off but its easier because it gives you more space and it keeps you from damaging your $400 radiator

common problem just check coolant level( like you did) and its ok so the sensor is a bit dirty or worn or what ever it is everybody has the problem. you cand try and clean it or buy a new one

tranny mounts, diff mounts, motor mounts, if the oil change doesnt work

if you have the cash buy an 04 if not fix it up like new (like mine )
