Nick It doesnt sound too good but as Chris said could be air in the oil system. I remember many years ago on a 1.6 cortina i had(the oil pump was external on Filter Housing) i took it off for some obscure reason. and bought a new one I fitted it on and it knocked like crazy I switched off called my dad i was only 22 at the time the first words he said did you prime the pump look of puzzlement on my face. My dad took pump off removed plate filled with oil replaced it and bingo no knock (mind my father was a Rolls Royce Engine Fitter)

Stephen Have you tried fleaBay theres plenty on there if you type in Google Gas A matic shocks it comes up with KYB shocks that will fit Lexus GS450 the yanks fit those as opposed to oem and by all accounts are better specced than oem I have not purchased any but was just looking and came across them. Its worth a try no matter what if yr car fails MOT thats it till you can afford what you want. sorry can be of no further help Robert

they may not be the correct ones as the gs450 will be made for the heavy battery in the boot i think you will have to have the 450 shocks

Also the premier and F Seport aew two Peice Discs

My old 2010 Gs450 s3 SE L had the auto locking feature too but my 2014 Gs450 Premier didnt have it i was disapointed at first but it went out of my mind The 2018 premier as it tho

Well Sami you are on the right track Just depressure yr tyres to the correct pressure then reinitlise it, at that pressure yu have set and all should be good it will set all to the 36 psi approx the pressure you should be running at

yes patch it back it is held on by a couple of bolts and the hole gets bigger and sheild drops of my 2006 did this all i did was get a large washer and bolted it back on no problem after that. yours might not be as simple as mine but im sure on observation you will sort it hth

Thank you so much for that info Colin It mostly went over the top really your Knowledge astounds me, it is great to have some one on our Forum that as this level of expertise It was only curiosity that led me to ask the question my 450 is running like a dream all the power that i need on tap I Did think it was not as quick as the mk3 SEL i had but that may not be the case it just felt like it, Also now that the Goodyear Eagles are bedded in (i hav done 2K on them) the car is whisper quiet and the slight rumble frorm passenger side as completly gone. Mind if i am on a really bad road you can hear the road but on normal well kept roads it is very quiet so all in all very pleased. Once again Colin and Chris thank you for the info Robert

Thanks for That Colin Quote The 2GR-FXS uses electric motors for variable valve timing whereas the FSE uses solenoids and hydraulic pressure. This allows the FXS to operate in both conventional OTTO mode as well as Atkinson mode. Atkinson mode keeps the intake valves open during part of the compression stroke to reduce friction and improve gas mileage. I believe they introduced the 2GR-FXS in 2016 for all models of the GS350.. not just the hybrid. I believe the FXS is a less mechanically complicated motor as well. end I gleaned this info from US site does this apply to our models

thank you so much for that Colin that does clear it up But i did think obviously wrong that the Mk 3 was also Atkinson cycle but i did notice that my 2010 450 accelerated a lot faster than my mk4 its still extremely quick i hasten to add i did think that they may have dropped the power of engine a little but thought no more about it as it is still very quick of the mark well for me that is Once again thanks for the info Robert

I always thought engine in the 450 was 2GRFSE but looking in my manual its 2 GRFXE mine is 2018 mk4 Premier I am hoping that Colin will pop up he usually knows these things or does anyone know there must be a difference TAI Robert

Just one item he as

Have you tried the one on Ebay from Latvia he is pretty reasonanble

Thanks for that but was just info that i required i am not yet in the market for an exhaust but just wondered about the noise level i like them quiet . mine as a slight snarl when i accelerate till it catches up then takes on the nice quiet slight hiss which i love.

Are the Stainless Exhausts noisy ?

Have you used a OEM filter or AM Because it needs to be A Carbon impregnated filter and i havnt seen any AM Carbon Filters And as Qumar said get a Air con Bomb put it on pass floor and let it do its thing with engine running and air con on full takes about 20 min

One thing for sure His expertise on this site will be missed

So sad to hear the news of John he was a very helpful man condolence to his family Rip John you will be missed

Mark Well" i will go to bottom of my stairs" i didnt know that just went out and checked mine and lo and behold they do not too sure of their use but very cool idea Thank you so much Mark this is my second mk4 premier and never found that out on the older one Robert

Colin Forgive my ignorance but what are butterfly headrests mine is the premier mk4 and the headrests cant be adjusted they adjust with top part of seat Robert

just a point on the tyres prior to fitting them ( they were concave by the way)that was the reason for changing them it had Bridgestone Potensa on rear were really concave on the tread fronts was not as bad i changed the rears on advice from fellow members on here but after a few miles the steering wheel was slightly off10 to 4 i thought that maybe the rear alignment was out . Anyway i decided to change the fronts before getting it tracked however an article i read on the US forum said it could be the EPS required syncing I have not heard of this before and i suspect some of our fellow members may know it too. The procedure according to one gent was get the vehicle in straight ahead position then with engine running turn steering Left to stop then right to full right stop then left again to left stop then back to centre Lo and behold the steering was then spot on never pulled right or left and there seems to be better feedback from the steering well pleased but as i said i am sure some members know this but for those that dont try it you maybe suprised. Robert

I too have had the Goodyear Eagle Asymetric and have done 500 ml on them and have found them outstanding the steering feedback is Brilliant goes round bends like the car is on rails Can highly reccomend them Robert
