Hi Tigerfish
well the story is that Lexus wanted 175 my local garage wanted 260 to fit it so i shopped around on e bay and a 2001 model being stripped in london,and this is were i had it from and it looks new at 35 it will do me. the problem is is where they put the rubber or foam on the two ends where it tucks behind the rad these hold water and it go there,i think i if they made cooler shorter and rubber pipes go behind rad there would not be any problem,I have kept my old one to see if it can be repaired in anyway, I think the price of 175 is taking the p---- a little bit for a bent bit of pipe.

Good result on finding a decent replacement. Have you done anything different when you put it back together to stop the water trap on the foam ends?
No i didnt i just wanted to get car back on road and the foam is to protect the pipe from rubbing on metalwork, but may do something about it some time later I have old one to work from . y u are on can you answer a question please that is if you know the answer they have a radio i will be buying for 80 with LCD all working ok, same radio as mine but buttons worded different.
mine say other one says DISC this must be the same thing?
mine says ASL other one says TXT not sure about this one?
also is wiring plug the same

Sorry mate, I know fook all about the hifi setups other than the Mk1 GS's. Is it a GS or Aristo that they are breaking? Maybe that has a difference. ASL I seem to recall seeing something about a while back and is something to do with speed sensitive volume settings. i.e. it gets louder the faster you go etc. Could be wrong though. If that is the case, there is probably a wiring difference for a speed pickup, but that is just a guess.
ya thats what the ASL dos which means audio sound level, but cant work out what TXT means, anyway it is a GS300 MK2 2001
Only thing I can think of for TXT is CD text. Maybe it displays track names if the CD you are playing has CD Text on it.
