That code is Bank 2 Sensor 2 alright - it's the o2 sensor which is on the exhaust right under the right hand (Your passenger) door. Tricky thing with changing this o2 sensor is that the wires from it go up through the floor of the car and, while you don't have to remove the seat, you do need to get under the footwell carpet so lot of ripping of dash & trim to allow this. Other option is to cut the wires under the car going to the existing sensor and splice on the wires from the new sensor which means you have no messing inside the car but being honest, if you've the time, always better to do it right and just plug in the proper connector inside the car! There is an excellent tutorial on the web (I'm sure it was on LOC) for replacing this sensor - I can't find it right now but I know I found it previously using google and it was step by step with photos and really helpful when I was doing mine. Also, rockauto.com is the way to go for the sensor - Cheapest I could find at the time, Original Denso with correct wire length and plug, and delivered to the far side of the Atlantic in about 2 days B) FINALLY FOUND IT B) http://www.clublexus.com/forums/showthread...sor+replacement All the info ya need!

Hmmm... All well and good now but how are you going to get on taking her down the isle with her stopping to pee on every pew in the church ?? :P Still probably worth it - If she chases sticks and cars I bet she doesn't nag you about coming home drunk or driving fast ;)

Spot on but don't like the IS - too small, IS300 Sportcross rarer than hen's teeth here anyway and poor dog would barely fit in the back, it's more of a different shape boot than a proper estate/station wagon, really is tiny!

Good points - Thing is estates aren't as prevalent here in Ireland as they are in the UK so a custom estate here would be very unique and I like unique ;-) The Avensis is a definite no no - My dad has one and while it's a fine car it is many many classes below the GS ( The Avensis actually replaced the Carina in Europe - The Camry is a bigger model and has been available here in different guises since the eighties). I get where you are coming from with the Camry Wagon though as I considered them when looking for my GS and possibly would have bought one had I found the right car. Here's a picture of Pepper in the GS (For once, not wet to the skin with sea water and covered in sand):

Good idea but I just can't see my gf running daft around the beach and chasing sticks into the sea, pity really - Dogs are for the beach, women are for the bedroom :D Also, it wouldn't be just for the dog, I prefer the shape/looks of estates but don't want to part with my GS.

Just posted this on the Uk LOC forum but thought I might get some replies/ideas here too.... I have a GS300. I have a big hairy dog that loves the beach (She's only allowed in the GS when very clean and very dry). Saturday morning comes and I'm driving dog to beach in company van when I would love to be driving the GS. Would it be possible to turn a MK2 GS300 into an estate? I'm thinking of contacting coachbuilders for opinion - If it would look good and cost 2 or 3k I'd go with it, plus I'd have something unique :-) And before anyone suggests an RX - I hate the look of the MK1 and can't afford the MK2! See pic below - (Photoshop difficult after a few drinks) ;-)
