Hey all, I've got a few problems with my newly acquired GS300 ('99), and thought I'd ask here for some help and guidance before getting into it this weekend. I will search for topics too, but I'm at work at the moment so thought I'd at least ask for help at the same time! :) Problems: Steering wheel tilt motor is intermittent - telescopic motor is fine, but upwards and downwards tilt only works occasionally. Braking (even at slow speed) sometimes the brakes release almost like ABS, meaning that I roll forward further than I expect. VSC, ABS and VSC OFF lights come on occasionally, and stay on for some time (10-15 minutes) before disappearing. I was told this might be an ABS sensor (possibly linking to the above) but am curious what others think. Front brakes click once when applied almost as if they slide into a notch (best way I can describe it), so it sounds like metal on metal, but they don't judder under pressure and the calipers are firmly attached - no "visible" problems. I'm going to be working on the car all weekend but just curious if anyone has any idea as to what may be causing these problems, so to give me a bit more of an insight as to what I'm looking for/at. Thanks in advance! :) Dave

Hey all, Well I thought I'd join up and say hi! I'm the new owner of a 1999 GS300 and have quite a lot of experience with the 2J so should be a lot of fun! I've had a whole host of jap motors, my favourites being a few gorgeous CRX SiRs (mugen and glass roof), and my latest mkiv Supra aerotop. I sold up to buy an Audi diesel but can't seem to stay away from Japanese cars! Anyway, looks like a great forum so hopefully I can contribute both to the banter and also the techy knowledge :) Dave
