Reliability and legality would be my concerns, the spelling mistakes alone in the listing put me off. One section says includes cooling fan, read further down and no cooling fan required. Since when do LEDs needs a CPU to drive them? IP65 then IP68 rated so which is it,the latter suggests they can be totally submerged in water so good for submarines? Give it time when they are tried and tested and the price is down to a tenner a pair.

Hi, really sorry to read about your misfortune. Some of the above makes for some really interesting reading. When I bought mine, it was to enjoy her to the max. Its the 2nd one I have had. This one far better then the first. It does not bother me about the value, so long as I get as much time possible out of the LS. That's value for money to me. Others will think differently. The LS is used everyday, in all weathers, and is plastered in mud most of the time. Someone on here once said these cars are very much working cars and hate to be left stood. I have been very fortunate to have done a lot of miles and just a few hundred pounds spent on tyres, oil changes, etc. The time will come when I will have to cough up serious dough. If mine was to meet with the same fate as yours, I would be gutted. I have toyed with the idea of selling before anything goes wrong, but whats the point. The mechanic who does the maintenance for me, says just keep enjoying her. As others have said, keep looking, frustrating as it is. They are out there. Tom

You have not bought chips lately Steve...........they`ve risen from a tanner to over one pound!! Regards John

Not making excuses for them, but the week before Christmas was probably manic, and with the best will in the world they could have just overlooked/forgotten to call, I am very strong on getting back to my clients, but I have missed call backs before, give them as chance as presumably it will be easier for you to deal with them than go elsewhere?

Has anyone converted there full beams to these please? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H8-H9-H11-Car-Conversion-2S-ETI-LED-Headlight-Kit-30W-3600LM-Each-Bulb-White-/151920085224?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123.

If you want to mod your car and you enjoy it then do it!! Ask the opinion of others on here but ultimately make your own mind up. I added a spoiler to my Fsport because I like how it looks. It is purely cosmetic and I have no desire to make a track day car. Many mods to cars are cosmetic and there is nothing wrong with that. Enjoy your car Ed

Have a look on utube plenty of these on there , i would agree that they are better than halogen. But halogen are crap lights compared to the latest . That includes led and cree , but they are unknown life span and are expensive.

your mate must have more money than sense,most of the time when braking you are using regenerative braking so your calipers / pads aren't being used it is only when heavier braking is needed or at very low speeds around town when the pads are actually meet the discs

Good luck, John, with whatever you decide to do. I hope you find something good as a replacement for your LS400 and, who knows, another LS400 may come your way in due course. All the best. Colin

Same thing happened to me years ago with a Cortina 2000E - except I was in it at the time! (It was a 1975 model: I was so glad that I'd fitted seats with head restraints from one from a later year!) Might be a bit late in your case, but now that the book value of our cars is so low, the best course of action would be to strip as many parts off as you can and retain as spares for the next LS - or flog them on eBay. Seems to be the path of least loss. You say you got £250 - well surely those original alloys alone are worth more than that! Then there's the audio system, various trim items, the headlights of course - you get my drift. I still have two cratesful of stuff off my old 1990 LS - which is worth the space they take up just for the reassurance. Also, the good parts which I'd had fitted (such as PAS pump and alternator) I got transplanted onto the new car before scrapping the old. Stuff that wasn't compatible (such as roadwheels and refurbished climate panel) I sold on. Take your time in looking for a replacement - good ones are out there.
