    Adjuster should be at the top, it is a PITA to see it through the hole in the drum where the rubber bung normally fits. If you can't free off the shoes there are 2 threaded holes 180 degrees apart where you can screw in a couple of bolts that will push the drum off the hub.

    No sorry.

    I've got to take a look at mine in the next few days (1999 LS400) so I'll try and get some close up pictures. Mine does nothing at all, no up/down or in/out, all supplies present to ECU, trying to get hold of another ECU just to eliminate it.

    I paid £850.00 for my V registration series IV with 130,000 about 6 months ago.

    I would be worried that the heat generated during welding would seize the plug in its threads, I would remove the old plug and replace it with a new one.

    Hello and welcome to the LOC. Similar problems have been reported with the RX300 with sticky gearchanges being caused by the transmission ECU. Another cause could be sticking shift solenoids, these are available as parts and can be replaced after removing the transmission sump. Lexus dealers won't replace parts in the transmission only the complete unit. Do you have any diagnostic codes which may help accurately diagnose the problem?

    Exported or written off may be the reason?

    Wonder why the front plate has been ripped off? Says it is taxed but obviously won't be under the new system.

    Hi and welcome to the LOC Need some more information, could you provide your engine type e.g. AS200,IG-FE16,3S-GE14?

    For a non mechanic as you describe yourself this is excellent, your mechanical skills are obviously better than you think. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to write all this up, I'm sure it will be of great help to other members.

    Hi and welcome to the LOC. All of the front suspension or just certain parts?

    I don't seem to get Lexus invites anymore perhaps a yearly purchase of an oil filter and sump washer doesn't qualify me. Made me wait nearly all day for an ISF drive on the last one even though it was prebooked, nevermind I used to mention events from Lexus ***** on here but not anymore.

    Should be a UCF20 model

    They appear to be chtome plated alloy

    If you can wait a short while the Amayama price for this part (89422-30030) is £22.37 plus shipping.

    If you do decide to go with the load resistors mentioned don't mount these on the plastic bulb housing as the heat may melt it. Mount them on a metal area away from heat sensitive devices or other wiring. If you have ever tried to remove a hot 60w home light bulb from its fitting you will realise what heat is generated.

    Hi Daniel,

    Just been watching Britains Oldest Drivers and noticed your company was in the end credits.

    A very entertaining programme.

    Regards,

    Steve.

    I will assume as a non gold member that you are giving these badges away and not selling them.

    I can't understand how a VVTI fault would cause the engine speed to increase by itself as this only affects valve timing. Is the idle speed correct? Have you checked for a sticking throttle cable/linkage, loose or damaged vacuum pipe? Another cause in the past has been the floor mat having moved and jamming the pedal.
  20. steve2006
    Have you checked that your headlight switch is not in the "auto" position as this may also affect the DRL brightness.
  21. steve2006
    Hello and welcome to the LOC. Do you have any new fault codes that have appeared? Also does the engine restart immediately once it has stopped or does it then fail to start after completely?
  22. steve2006
    I would also ask the DVSA to look into the MOT station that did the test.
  23. steve2006
    IIRC there is no level plug just a drain plug on the transmission sump which will drain around 2 litres.
  24. steve2006
    If this was a car dealer sale I would be looking at them for repairs at their cost given the short time you say you have had the car, if bought privately you now have the costs of repair. Any mention of this on the MOT history check in the advisories section? Personally I would stick to OEM replacements but be prepared for a shock (pun intended) when they give you the prices at around £280.00 each, they may do all 4 for a grand.

    How often do you use the other doors on the car, reason I ask is you mention that the other doors attempt to unlock but fail to do so. I have never heard of 3 locks sticking at the same time but it could be a mechanical problem with stiff mechanisms. The only way to be sure is strip out the door card and take a look at what actually moves when the fob is pressed on one of the faulty doors and go from there.
