I need help finding a replacement driver's side front door handle! Any suggestions? I've called every junk yard around with no luck, and I've scoured the internet trying to find anyone willing to sell me one. My car is black, but I'm about ready to just buy the first one I see regardless of the color. Does anyone know if the Camry's handle will work? They look pretty much identical from what I can tell, and they're cheap and widely available. This is driving me crazy- Any help is greatly appreciated!

In December of last year, my '97 es300 wouldn't start. When I turned the key in the ignition, I would hear a clicking noise but the car wouldn't start. I had the battery checked (it was new) and it was fine. Finally, I took it to a shop and after 3 trips paid a total of $850 to replace the starter, the plugs and wires and one of the fuel injectors. That seemed to work, because the problem was solved and my car would start like new. Now, 8 months later I find myself in the exact same situation. The car won't start and will only make a clicking noise when I try to start it. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could possibly be happening? Thanks!

I have a '97 es300 with about 170,000 miles on it, and I've noticed over the last few months that my car seems to be riding lower than normal when I have additional people in it - to the point where I'm afraid I might bump the road if I'm going too fast over uneven pavement and things like that. To my knowledge, the struts have never been replaced. Does it sound like it's time to replace them or is there some type of repair work that can be done? It seems to only be a problem in the rear of the car.

This might be foolish of me, but I usually just find the fuse for the trac off light and pull it out for 30 seconds, which resets it for a month or so. I do the same for the check engine light ever since I took it to a mechanic and paid to have the o2 sensor replaced, which didn't resolve the light on issue. If I were you, I would only reset the fuses as a last resort, but it's worked for me without any problems.

I have a '97 es300 and my AC just stopped working... in the middle of the summer.... in central Florida . Anyway, when I turn the car on, it makes the noises like it's trying to turn on, but nothing happens. It usually would make this whirrr noise and then the air would begin to blow cold after a split second. Now, it just doesn't blow at all. Nothing happens. The worst part is there were no warning signs. Any ideas what the problem could be/fixes?

I have a '97 Es 300 w/ tan interior and the latch that keeps the center console top lid closed (the leather covered part) snapped off and broke into about three pieces. Can I replace just the latch, or will I have to buy a new lid or even a whole new console? If I can replace just the latch, where can I get the parts? If I can't replace just the latch, does anyone know where I can get a lid? (I've only seen one on ebay in the last few months) It seems like it might be pretty easy to replace the lid, but since the leather is still in decent condition, I think I'd rather just replace the latch. Also, The cup holder has been broken since I got the car... any advice on how to fix that? Thanks!
