    Been drifting again then Mike with that tyre wear 😀 Rocker cover gaskets for the oil leak, a couple of OEM LBJs and a good dose of rust killer.

    Specialist Classic car insurers’ will provide what you need, I think it is called “Laid up” cover. You can also an “Agreed Value” as opposed to “Market Value” reflecting the cars real value and the policy generally covers spare parts as well. Once you put the car back on the road you can obtain cheaper classic insurance based on an agreed mileage limit again with an agreed value. If you look in classic car magazines there are always plenty of companies looking for business, mine was with Footman James.

    Hi Ian, welcome to the LOC and congratulations on the NX350h purchase. I take it this will be your first Lexus ?

    The problem with OEM is that Lexus only supply the complete assembly so for example a complete lower arm.

    Nothing too major looking at the MOT history, actually expired last September. Looks like a very busy doctor doing around 15,000 in a year but then fell lower. A child seat was fitted at one time .....lucky child 😀

    The inner clusters appear to have a separate gasket seal but the outer units don’t. Clear silicone sealer may be the solution after a good drying out and cleaning.

    I didn’t think it made any difference with HID headlight units due to the flatter beam pattern?

    LS 400

    Hi Lien and welcome to the LOC. Finding a good one at a reasonable price is becoming harder by the day, it’s just a matter of waiting for it. Just bear in mind the youngest models are now 22 years old.

    Just unclip the mirror stalk cover and look for the wiring, pretty sure the auto mirrors are standard fitment across the Lexus range, even my old 1994 had it.

    So if you request Toyota Type IV or WS that’s what you get guaranteed? I must admit the picture of the machine looks like my Mig welder though 😀

    A 15 mile drive could damage the cars with unburnt fuel going through them particularly if you have already done the same from the dealer. Recovery is your safest method. Did you check the connections to both ignition coils as suggested?

    I know you could buy a modified ECU for the early LS400 models, they were called MINES ECUs and it was basically a plug and play swop for the original. Fifteen year’s ago you could pick one up for £150.00 but now you’re looking at £1000s if you can find one! http://www.mines-wave.com/english/CATALOG/ECU/VX-ROM_TOYOTA.htm

    Welcome back David. Yes it’s a good idea to do the radiator/cooler, fortunately my 2004 had already been done along with most other things before purchase.

    My epitaph could read “ Here lies Steve who passed peacefully away while patiently sat in his car sat at a red traffic light”

    Tokyo only and at that I get reminded my toll card is out of date every time I start the car 😀

    I’m happy to leave mine with just 1 FM radio station, a choice of 6 CDs and a Japanese satellite navigation 😀

    Hi Iain and welcome to the LOC. It looks like the same colour as mine which is Phil’s old car.

    Just been watching the weather report on TV. Apparently it is going to get very windy in the early hours of Sunday. Makes sense as a lot of people tend to go out for a curry on Saturday evening.

    You really need to get one of these.....20 BHP power increase, a 2 second faster 0-60 time and minutes to fit. 😀 https://tinyurl.com/2p97bvhe

    Be aware of the AA unless things have changed. They don’t provide recovery after an accident regardless of fault and will not recover your car and passengers if the only driver is incapacitated. I once suffered a broken right foot whilst on holiday in the Dominican Republic and after being provided with excellent travel insurance healthcare arrived back at Manchester airport with a plastered leg. Rang the AA who at the time were my bank’s provider to be told no they don’t provide this service leaving me stranded at the airport! Now with the RAC who provide both these services.

    As George and John have mentioned take it back to Lexus, they did the work and the car was firing on all 8 cylinders prior to this work being carried out. Given the age of the car the electrical connectors tend to become brittle particularly the injector plugs, LT coil connectors and the spark plug leads are easily damaged during removal.

    Have we reached the minimum number here for the stand?

    I thought that was the guy who shot JFK. my brain cells are diminishing. 😀
