Thanks very much to Vikin9 for the explanation and photos. Now at least I can see where the tabs should be... and I'm sure a little ingenuity and epoxy will do the trick.

Thanks much,

Rich

I have a '94 GS300. The front leather seats have split and cracked... just the seats (the back rests are OK).

Anyone know if I can buy good quality replacement covers, prefereably just for the horizontal part of the seat?

I had a quote today from a local upholsterer: $600 to re-cover the front 2 seats in leather. I'm looking for something a lot cheaper, if possible...

Thanks,

Richard

Thanks to Vikin9 for the fix suggestion... I'm very handy in the do-it-yourself department but I can't see how or where to put the wires in... And I can't see where the "plastic fingers" are, or would have been, on my cup holder. And not easy to explain, of course...

Hi,

Yes, I have the same problem as Kino... my cup holder pops all the way out. There must be a clever and simple solution, surely?!

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Rahn,

Thanks for the reply. I'll try eBay for the shocks...

Re. the key: I don't know where the dealership got it from, but after reading the woes of other people, I think I was really fortunate!

Here's the number of the Lexus Dealership in Oxnard, CA:

DCH Lexus of Oxnard

Parts tel: 805 988 8598

Or e-mail: info@lexusofoxnard.com.

Good luck!

Richard

I have different info from all other replies.

I recently lost my one and only key to my '94 GS300.

My local Lexus Dealership, DCH Lexus of Oxnard, CA, ordered a replacement key for me over the phone: total cost $89 including $20 for overnight freight from the East Coast. All I had to do was show them proof of my ownership of the car when I collected the key.

Then AAA (as a Plus Member) reimbursed me fully.

Maybe I'm just a lucky guy! But that's what just happened (March '04).

Then the key I had lost tuned up found... so now I have two keys :D

Hi,

I have a 1994 GS300 (automatic). I need a replacement shift knob, brown leather. Anyone know where I could get one from, without paying the earth?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi,

I have a 1994 GS300.

The trunk shocks have lost their strength, so I have to lift the trunk manually (it stays up OK once it's up... even without Viagra )

Anyone know where I could get cheap replacements?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi,

I have a '94 GS300. When I press the dual cup holder in the center console, it slides out OK, but there's nothing to stop it, so it comes all the way out. Is there some clever little trick to stop it from sliding all the way out?

Thanks,

Richard

Hi,

My first foray on this great site...

I recently bought a 1994 GS300. It runs well, and looks great (now it's had a major detail - I bought it at an auction).

I opened the hood and was pleased to see a big matel thing, which I take to be the engine. Good so far.

But I just noticed that the little black plastic "DIAGNOSIS" box is empty... What's that mean, then?!

Thanks,

Richard
