    I was changing the R.F.side indicator on my 400 as it had some water in it, as I took it off, the part that holds the bulb came off and fell down into the gap between the wing and the frame, I have tried to recover it but no luck,so now there is a light bulb and holder stuck down there. Has anyone got any ideas how I can get it out. Please.

    When I was stationed in Germany, I went to the local petrol station, while I was filling up the garage owner came up to me and said he had noticed one of the tyres had a split in it, I said ok ill get it sorted, the tyre stn was about 5km away, he told me because of the law he was not allowed to let me drive it ,the tyre stn was phoned and they came up and fitted a new one.

    I am going to refit the front mud flaps, the problem is some of the Grommets are missing, I got 6 from my local Lexus store. I now have to fit them, never done this job before so I need some help,as you can see the shape of the grommets are a bit different from what I am used to. Does the screw go into the grommet from the shape you can see, or from the other side where the hole is. Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello John and Denis : I will avoid Morrisons for ever a load of crap, They told me that they would get in touch with the main screen supplier which is Lexus, the bill will be covered by my insurance, but I had to pay £75 towards the bill---the fitters arrive today between 13:15--15:45. Cheers .

    Tomorrow is the big day my new windscreen arrives , for my 400, autoglass finally they got onto Lexus U.K. and they have supplied them with the correct screen, the long wait is over at last.

    I got a phone call this morning from Autoglass, they have been onto Lexus U.K. and they are providing them with the required windscreen, they will be arriving on Saturday to fit the new one.
  15. SHELLDRAKE
    Well the story goes on and on about my damaged windscreen---Autoglass have sent E/mails to me ,what is your registration number, which they have, then they asked for the V.I.N. number which I gave it to them, they contacted D.V.L.A. the reply was it was the correct car, Autoglass said they will contact Lexus U.K. to confirm it, the next thing is they are going to contact the screen manufacturer to see if they still make the screen, so it looks like I have still got a long wait.
  16. SHELLDRAKE
    Cheers Malc: they have got the registration they checked with the D.V.L.A.to make sure it was correct which it is.

    The other day on the way home a small stone was thrown up from a passing wagon and it hit the windscreen and damaged it , I got onto my Insurance about it and they put in touch with autoglass. Now here comes the fun bit, I gave them all the information, Type of car,1997 Ls400,what happened to the windscreen, and I need a replacement screen, every thing went well,untill the new screen arrived---they had sent a screen for a Citroen CV2.Even the fitter, when he saw my car he knew there had been a ***k-up so now I am waiting for Autoglass to sort things out, and I thought they knew what they were doing

    Cheers Guys: I will try that, the mirror is the right size it is the original one ,no damage to it.

    I had an accident a couple of days ago on the N.S..mirror. The glass is ok, the problem is two small clips have broken away, does anyone know what I can do to repair it. These are the photographs of the outside of the mirror and the inside ,the inside is where the two clips have gone missing from. Any INFO could help Cheers Norman.

    Henry: my 400 blew a light last week --a 1997 I thought they lasted for ever obviously not.

    The way to do it is to go onto the inter net, type in the "Wheel specialists" when it comes up it will show locations of the companies that do the job, pick the one close to your location, they will give you a price, I had mine done and they are brilliant.

    Hi Stuart: Look to the right of the bonnet lever /petrol/boot lever, you will see a small button press that ,it controls the sound of the doors --on or off.
