  1. Brilliant, well done many years of happy happy trouble free motoring for sure Malc
  2. I used to run with the Falkens till they stopped producing them Now I understand they are made in Turkey and probably still very good tyres The Falkens I would otherwise have to this day tbh, t'was a good tyre for me So I moved to Maxxis,( some sets of tyres ago now ) a very good tyre too BUT I have now found the rare to get hold of Maxxis All Seasons tyres and these give a much improved handling feel but maybe slightly harsher ride on a totally different profile tread About the same price methinks Might try the Falkens next spring when the fronts will need replacing probably Malc
  3. no thank you having seen your other post, answers all my queries apart from the original registration . but no matter now Malc
  4. Welcome to the Club, a good steed for sure you might well have caught in time the need for the new radiator to avoid the gearbox failing with oil/water mix and destroying the gearbox I take it the gears run smoothly and the gearbox oil is like new too ? Malc
  5. seems pretty precise to me tbh ......... you're going into almost unknown territory with the Ls400 and there's little precedent I'd have thought The way you drive, the car's handling etc under load etc will play a huge part in what pressures you will finally be happy with Malc
  6. she looks a lovely Mk3, well done Cambelt and waterpump every 10 years / 100k miles and she should last you forever, alternator belt at the same time too ........... mileage ? Malc

    Toyota crown

    I remember from long back, maybe 15 or more years. On my garage forecourt we almost had a used Toyota Camry 3 ltr estate for sale WOW that was a fantastic car, big, spacious, sleek and fast and powerful ... beautiful looking too But we couldn't do the deal to buy it sadly Malc
  8. I didn't think there were any Ls600s left brand new in the UK though ! Malc
  9. hey yesterday saw TWO black Ls here, a 57 plate Ls460 and oddly a 19 plate Ls600 ......... wonder if that was a private plate though Rare to see another Ls of any description here Malc
  10. with Protyres and Treadmark if there is no adjustment needed, or done, then there seems to be a zero fee Malc
  11. have u replaced the cambelt and waterpump before on a Ls400 ? please let's have the regn number and location of the car Thanks Malc
  12. can u give us the regn no. of the car you're scrapping and where it is please ? Thanks Malc
  13. This is the usual price I would think, I have mine done at Protyre / Treadmark after a heavy wack down a pothole whatever Get the colourful pre-check done showing the mis-alignments and decide if you want both the front and back done, you don't often need to have both ( the rears ) , it's £30 for each end ( incl vat ) your bill will come down from £144 ....... to a more sensible £30 / £60 Malc
  14. I regularly import my parts for my Ls400 from Amayama in Japan .............. easy peasy and about 50% of the prices charged by Lexus UK even with Carriage, Duty and VAT etc Malc
  15. best of luck with sorting out your steed ..................... looking forward to any update Malc
  16. welcome to the LOC sorry, no idea at all on your wheel Q somebody will be along soon to help you I'm sure Malc
  17. never felt any difference at all tbh .................. remembering being in mountainous Switzerland some years back and driving on their side of the snowy road with the steering wheel in our cars putting the drivers view into the abyss down the mountainside immediately outside my window ............... a tad scary at the time I felt Malc
  18. so what are the Ls400 models you have please ? Thanks Malc
  19. so what were the issues post purchase ? Malc
  20. reading it's MOT history I don't think I would be keen tbh ............. front suspension stuff wearing ( twice now ) and hardly ever used ............. doesn't usually do these steeds too much good being underused imho wonder if the front stuff has been replaced twice with less than good quality parts 👻 Cest Le Vie Malc
  21. I wonder .. a while ago I had the sound of a load of old tin cans rattling at a certain point and with specific brick road humps .... turned out to be a heat shield that had dropped from it's rusted 3 bolts holding it up and after 23 years though Heat shield removed and binned and all fine now Malc
  22. motto ...... just avoid Morrisons Nantwich for fuel Malc
  23. nice car, well done are you sure that what you think is a cambelt sticker isn't simply the one shot two sugars coffee order for the mechanic ? I have no Japanese language skills for sure Malc
