Hi I have a 1995 Lexus SC 400 and am having trouble starting it due to bad gas. I had the fuel filter changed once already a the shop and it ran that day but they didnt empty the bad gas. i put some fresh gas and fuel treatment into it bu now it wont start again. Can anyone tell me where the fuel filter is located so i can check it out? also any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank You.

Under the car, just in front of the driver side rear wheel

are you sure its due to fuel,as there is a fuel ecu that fails in normal run mode but ok in start up mode , which means the car will start but almost immediatly stop.

My 93 SC400 started to make loud sounds when turning the wheel. p/s fluid is at correct level. Was told about a filter that may be clogged due to worn out tubes. Does that sound right?Where's this filter? if that's not the problem, how difficult would it be for me to put in a new pump myself?

Thanks in advance.

first check the level of the fluid.top up and bleed if required.

if your p/s pump is starting to make noises then it is coming to the end of its life especially if it is the original, there is a refubishment kit available for it, but it may be beyond an amateur to fit without workshop facilities,however taking the old pump off and replacing it is not difficult, but it is imperative that the air is bled out of the system after refilling the system with fluid, this can be done by running the engine and taking the steering from lock to lock at least twenty times or untill all the minute bubbles stop appearing.

Hey GSlide can we see a front on shot of you car with those chrome Ebay ones.

I'm so torn!! I don't know if I like the black ones or the chrome ones better.

some of these lights have found their way across the big pond to the uk and some have been fitted to soarers but there is one big problem with them , they are orientated in the wrong direction for driving on the left side of the road,this has been over come by some by taking the units apart and rotating something inside, can't remember what but it appears to realign the beam so it becomes acceptable to our ministry of transport testing, does any one over in the usa make a unit for use in the uk or japan or anywhere that drives on the left? there could be quite a market for them!

hi all you lexus americans

i'm writing from the uk about my soarer ,(just purchased), we have great difficulty ,so i have been told , in getting the sat nav converted from japan to uk , do you have the same trouble ,or do yours come in already to go , over here they are what is known as a grey import, toyota name changed to lexus never destined for the uk but get here just the same , anyway if you know of an english conversion which would also convert to uk please let me know
