Serviced it myself last month, fluids, filters and plugs. Would never go to a stealership again. Haven't done alignment though. Deffinatly worth a try, good idea, thanks, will do that after I change the brake pads.
Think I may have sorted some of the gearbox issues though. Disconneted the Battery for an hour and went for a blast. Seems smooth through the box even on kick down now. Would still be intersted if anyone has experienced the hissing sound on a cold start.
The gearbox oil is brown, think its time to change it. Anyone done this themselves? Is there any sort of internal filter?
Had a look at the MAF sensor aswell, looks dirty. Will pick up some circuit spray and give it a clean see if that helps ecconomy.
Thanks for the responces.

30 MPG, seriously, guess there's somthing wrong with it then. Already given it a full service including plugs. Any ideas what it couuld be?

Yeah I dont drive slow either, Thought 20 MPG was good!! What does your mate get, does he drive like a granny, lol. I only got 15 MPG out of my old Impreza, it was 340 BHP though. Gave me 9 points too!!

Thanks for the welcome and reply.
I am averaging 20 MPG mixed driving, no different to petrol. Not too bad for a 3 ltr.
Was
just lookin to see if anyone experienced similar things with their box.
When stopped at say a junction, foot on brake in D. When puling away
there is a pause of about 2-3 secconds before it moves. it revs (sort of like a slipping manual clutch) then jolts forwards. It doesnt happen all the time.Also occaisionally
when starting from cold it doesnt want to creep forwards or backwards,
needs a lot of revs to move. If i turn off I hear a hissing / gurgling
sound from underneath for a few seconds 10-15. Then it drives normal. Weird or what.Looked on a few forums and these boxes appear to be bomb proof. Any reccomedations for gearbox specialists in the North Wales or North West.
Thanks.

Hi all.
Bought a IS300 runiing LPG . Bit rough round the edges, but I love it. Done 156000 miles (90,000 on gas). Intending on keepin it and doing it up. Not seen many running gas, if anyone has any questions on it I will be happy to answer.
Got a problem myself with the auto box, could do with some help. I have searched around but no luck.
If there is anyone who knows these box's their help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
Sorry about the terrible pic.

Thanks Steve, can you buy the sealer and filter from independants, or only Toyota like the fluid? Sump off is the way forward I think.
