Thanks for your reply but I'm trying to do some serious fact-finding - if you haven't had direct experience of getting this done to your vehicle, then your view isn't relevant for me

Has anyone had this done on a LS430 ? My vehicle is a 2003 '53' vehicle with 78k miles on the clock It still drives very well but I wasn't sure whether this sort of treatment would be beneficial or not ? It would be great to hear from any other Lexus LS owners who have had this done to their vehicles

I was on eBay at the weekend and Lexus GB are offering LS430 Genuine Bootliners for £99.00 - I found it ridiculous that they originally wanted over £200 for these items. Just ordered one and looking forward to adding this to my vehicle. Here's the link for it : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Lexus-LS430-Boot-Trunk-Liner-200-2006-PZ434F1302PJ-/252845797799?fits=Car+Make%3ALexus&hash=item3adec8b1a7:g:sfkAAOSwAANY5PZ-

eBay and some of the breaker yards could result in finding some used genuine alloys - they will probably need some refurbishment though but well worth sourcing I've fitted after-market wheels before but prefer to keep the cars as genuine and as original as possible

I went to get my Air Con re-gassed only to be told that there were some big leaks in the system. Fortunately, my local garage confirmed that the pipes needed replacing and that the condenser and pump seemed to work fine. The pipes cost me £300 in parts alone (the pipe for the rear air conditioning cost £200 alone) and 5 hours of labour later and the car is now back to being ice cold Hope you can get your fault diagnosed and sorted out and back in full working order

The light units are sealed and not really designed to be opened and the standard practice unfortunately is that if any of the LED bulbs stop working is to replace the whole unit I have heard of some owners try to repair these but unless you are very good with electronics and soldering, you probably won't have much joy If new parts prices are too dear, there are going to be used light units in breakers yards. Good luck with your search

Good LS vehicles, especially 400s are becoming so rare now As superb as my LS430 is, the 400 I owned has made an unforgettable impact on me - it was without question the best ever vehicle I have ever owned. It was powerful, smooth, luxurious, deceptively fast, surprisingly good mpg and had reasonable costs too - nothing else could touch it for reliability either

When I sold my LS400 after 13 years and 200k miles of driving, I really missed being a Lexus owner and after a year without one I finally got back into the fold with an LS430 They are awesome cars and it's only when you have owned and run one that you really appreciate them :-)

And I get told that I am a bit crazy owning multiple cars - my neighbours probably think I am a drug-dealing pimp but I don't mind. I never get trouble out of anyone :-)

I was initially quoted £295 for the intermediate service and then they gave me the option of the £199 price instead but said they couldn't stamp the service book but that they would issue a card instead. Bit strange to me. All I am concerned with is making sure the car is serviced correctly and that I have the paperwork to back this up No matter what dealers say about prices being fixed, I think there is always room for negotiation no matter what - they all need the business and owners of older cars are invaluable to these big dealerships as well as their newer customers

I bought my LS430 a few months ago and thought I'd got a bargain until I had some air suspension issues which have cost me a lot to put right The great news now though is that the car drives really well and my entire ownership experience is now proving to be great now :-) I had considered an extended warranty and I'm aware that Lexus are doing one for the LS430 for £1695 for 2 years but I'm hoping the car will now be trouble free for me
