  1. Hi all, have been told that my 2004 ES300 needs new rear suspension but Lexus no longer make all the parts. Suspension specialists also say they can't provide suitable parts. Does anyone have any suggestions? An option would be from a wrecker but how old and in what condition would it be in?
  2. What was happening was the car was shuddering to a halt, just before i stopped the gearbox would go 'thud thud' and kinda jerk forward a bit, in every other respect the gearbox was fine. It turned out that the gearbox needed replacing so i got a second hand one put in and it's been fine.
  3. I was approached completely randomly by someone in a carpark yesterday who asked, 'do you have trouble with your gearbox?' I couldn't believe it! This lady has an ES300 2003 model in NZ with exactly the same problem as mine as does her daughter in law. She mentioned something about a 'sensor/computer' was the problem and given me great hope to get my car fixed. Any comments greatly appreciated.
  4. My 2003 ES300 has a gearbox problem. Just before coming to a halt the car kinda jerks forward and the gearbox goes 'clunk clunk', also sometimes on acceleration after a slow corner. Does anyone have any ideas? I have had the valve body replaced but this didn't fix the problem. Any info much appreciated.
  5. Wondering if a 'clackitty-clack' clacking sound whilst driving on rough surfaces coming from front of my 2003 ES300 is the tiny plastic wheel hubs with the Lexus 'L' on them being loose and moving around? Has anyone had this experience or does this noise have a more ominous source? Any advice? Are they easy to remove and glue back into place to stop them moving? Thanks in advance. Sorry, just to verify, I'm talking about the actual hub cover, my bad.
  6. Any advice regarding sourcing/purchasing/fitting of a tow bar for my 2003 ES300. Apparently they are no longer available through Lexus. Regards
