    Who was it that had their rear screen broken, managed to find a replacement only for kids to break it again so replaced it with plastic or something?

    Welcome Phil, Weatherstrip Front Door Glass LH ( I assume your car is LHD) 68172-24030

    I discovered something new and useful from this post as it prompted me to check before posting a reply. Mine has the reverse tilt mirror option which works fine but I never knew you could actually adjust the position.
  4. steve2006
    On your mirror position adjustment control if you set the selector to 0 I.e. the middle position between L and R it should disable the reverse tilt function.

    The picture of the rear offside, is that an optical illusion on the bumper or a pigeon with a chronic bowel problem? 😀

    You have to pay duty and VAT on the total amount ( goods and shipping) Duty is normally around 5% and VAT of course is 20%. £600.00 + 5% (£630.00) + VAT (£126.00) total £756.00. There is also a “Handling charge” from the courier unless you can prepay.

    The last time I saw Roy Wood (Wizard) in the village local he looked just like he did in the 1970s glam rock days 😀 I might ask him to re-release a song “Oh I wish there could be heating everyday”
  9. steve2006
    Well he’s certainly pulled the Trigger when it comes to his policies!

    Go on then Dan give us the insider information as to why insurance premiums have gone through the roof?

    Easiest way would be fit a speaker level to phono level converter and just use one channel for the sub. I would assume these converters somehow match the impedance of the original sub woofer ( Lexus subs used to be only 2 Ohms) and output the required dynamic range. Disconnect the speaker wires from the original sub, connect to the converter then phono to your sub amp. Where to obtain sufficient power for the amplifier is another issue with it located in the boot. Here’s an example https://tinyurl.com/36eyvk7h

    I’m pretty sure I read today that Starmer is trying to block a vote on the WFA in Parliament? No demonstrations and now no democracy.

    Regarding the parts this kit is very good on price and OEM quality https://www.amazon.co.uk/Aisin-TKT-021-Engine-Timing-Water/dp/B008EEYWKI/ref=asc_df_B008EEYWKI/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697233799567&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2211583315227901321&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9194682&hvtargid=pla-435682999408&mcid=764638e5e56a3dbcba95c9f939520b9b&th=1&gad_source=1

    Your assumption appears to be correct Malc given the response from my new labour MP

    Looking good 😀 I’ve seen the Celsior gold badge sets going for silly money, fortunately mine already had them fitted, subtle bling. Are the replacement rear clusters still part LED or using conventional bulbs?
  16. steve2006
    Vorsprung durch breakdown as they say in Germany 😀

    Hi Ian and welcome to the LOC. Congrats on your Lexus purchase, surely not a dealer presenting a filthy car!
  18. steve2006
    Probably due to the fact that any Maserati parts cost at least 4 times the price of Lexus parts and Lexus bits aren’t cheap. I remember going to view a Cambicorsa 4200 a few years ago to quickly discover the 2 rear exhaust boxes had been replaced with straight pipes, that’s a £2000.00 parts bill to start with.

    I get mine in March (subject to the pension age not rising before then!) but the bus stop is half a mile away so will still need the car to get to the stop. 😀

    Looking at that picture of the exposed connectors with the voltage and current available it makes you think it’s not far off the old 750 VDC third rail trains traction power!

    IIRC the early LS400s had single pot calipers on the front and 15” wheels, 92 on models had the twin pot sliders but required 16” wheels to clear them and the late model 98 on had the massive Sumitomo 4 pots. The rears remained as single pots throughout all versions. The LS430 continued with 4 pot calipers on the front but upgraded twin pots on the rear finally eliminating the seized slider pin issue.

    You have refitted the safety isolation plug on the battery? Ignore the bottom 2 codes.

    Watched a YouTube video recently with the “Car Care Nut” involving defective Toyota re-manufactured units, in this case a steering rack with defective bushing mounts allowing the rack to move excessively. Does make you think where this is heading.
  24. steve2006
    Have you considered buying the parts from Lexus Parts Direct who may offer a discount or Amayama which are genuine but generally cheaper even taking VAT into account?
  25. steve2006
    Looking at the Trustpilot reviews it would seem Evelina on customer services is very busy! No wonder they sponsor many YouTube vloggers with a 20% discount code. Also noticed that the checks you have purchased expire after 6 months.
