Thanks for that Mark... yeah, had forgotten about the gear knob... had to go and find it... Gearknob recovering. Last project was this... a Range Rover L322 converted to a proper off roader, been in several magazines... It's gone as far as is possible and for that and other reasons I want a slightly more reliable vehicle, not that the Range Rover goes wrong more than once a day you understand... I leave the IID diagnostic tool plugged into the OBD permanently...!!! Anyway, if you want to waste a couple of hours.... Project Fatty

Brian, There does seem to be an awful lot of "model loyalty" going on within Lexus, I know the 430 is a great car but I've been there and now fancy something different.... Thanks for your info......

Graham, Thanks, what costly maintenance do they need..??

Hi all... long time no post...!!! Had an LS430 10 years ago now and had to sell it due to health issues, broke my back some years ago and a general deterioration in various bits of me meant it wasn't comfortable getting in or out... I'm 6'5" so even the size of the LS was a struggle... Move forward several years and two of these Which as well as all these And one of these Has meant that I am now more mobile than I have been for a long time.... I've been driving people carriers and off road vehicles for the last few years as they were easier to get in but I now fancy a big saloon again and hanker after another LS.. The 460's have dropped in price and I could afford the oldest, highest mileage ones going, not fussed on the miles and don't need or want any of the bells and whistles associated with buying from a dealer as I do all my own service/repairs so the cheapest car going is what I am after... So, anyone with a leggy LS460, I would be interested to hear what goes wrong or wears out to use as a bargaining tool.... Is there a shortcut with the 460 to this menu...? LS430 diagnostic menu And does anyone know if there is a workshop manual online or available anywhere else for the 460...? Also any other comments etc would be great.. Thanks...
