my old new ls430

[Chasdad]

Just did a 5 hour round trip with Mrs chasdad to collect it. First thing I've noticed it's either got a sticky caliper or it needs front discs. 

But most annoying is a tick tick that's coming through the speakers. The stereo isn't producing sound so could be the amp. But I've got sound through sat nav. Do they have a different sound source. 

Also on the audio settings when I try to adjust fader bass or treble nothing moves on screen. Could this be down to the amp .

Car is lovely other than that

Well done that man, we look forward to the photos.  The front discs are such a common issue, but only a minor one, I've noticed mine are just beginning to get a slight wobble when braking.  Still, easy and fairly inexpensive to put right.  I don't know but I'd guess the Sat Nav has a different source, I'm happy to be corrected.

Cleaned up pretty well. Few stone chips on the bonnet . Lexus paint seems soft compared to the volvo. Interior is really nice . Drivers seat a bit saggy

For some reason, your car is still up for sale on Gumtree

[Chasdad]

He did say he had it on there but all he had was people making silly offers without viewing. I bought it off of pistonheads. Says sold on Gumtree add if you read it

If it's still up for sale I might go and buy it as well as it looks nice!!!

It is😊

Well the wife drove it today and loves it. Never thought she say it but so much nicer than the volvo . Think I may lose it to her. I was running about in this before and she hated it.

I can understand hating that, unless you're a cartoon postman!  Interestingly, if I had to make a decision between my Lexus and my Volvo, the Volvo would win.  It's probably because my Volvo is pretty much the top of the range and has many toys, but also being an estate it's just so practical.  However, the cabin in the LS430 is just superb, vast and classy, and I'm sorry, but it's just far superior to the LS400, and certainly far superior to that French thing above.

The volvo is an s80 lux so is well kitted out .but I hate driving . On the other hand I actually liked driving the little twingo. Was quite nippy too being a turbo.amazing that I sold the twingo and had money left to buy the ls430 and have the money left to pay for its Cambelt.  

As anyone fitted front brake pads on a ls . Are they are pain. Thinking of pagid. Any advice

I fitted them on my LS400 and they were dead easy, I'm sure the 430 is just as easy.  I think there are some Youtube guides.
