    As above, if it is the water pump it needs doing immediately as it could wreck the cambelt, then you're sunk! You could remove the auxiliary belt (easy job) and briefly run the engine, if it stops being noisy you know it's not the water pump.
  2. The-Acre
    Yes, interference engines!

    Mine is a very dark blue Celsior with gold badges. I'm in Cornwall this week but drop me a pm with your details and I'll contact you when I'm back.

    It's a very strange thing owning an import, it's not on any system, ie insurance comparison sites, car part sites etc.
  5. The-Acre
    Well I live in Worthing and I can certainly recommend someone who knows them inside out who will be happy to do most things for you, and he's very reasonable. I've only ever seen a silver LS430 around, parked opposite the seafront, would that be yours?
  6. The-Acre
    Have you got the rear blind?

    Congratulations on the purchase of a fine car, and having the same engine as mine I know you can't go wrong! I really like the SC, nothing else out there like it.
  8. The-Acre
    Yes, several places are planning to follow.
  9. The-Acre
    Actually, for me it's all irrelevant, I've no intention of driving mine into London. I am driving it to Lands End tomorrow morning though, I'm looking forward to that!
  10. The-Acre
    It is strange, and I've never understood it because it's the same car.
  11. The-Acre
    Just checked my 2003 Celsior which costs £265 to tax and it's not compliant!

    Soarer Parts

    The-Acre replied to N-Seven's topic in Soarer Club

    You could try Rockauto in the US, they supply many parts for older/classic cars but I'm not sure if it was called a Soarer in the US do you would need to check that.
  13. The-Acre
    Well I looked at mine and unless yours are just missing I can't see how you could add them as there's a slot for them in the top of the door card.
  14. The-Acre
    That's surprising, I thought it was standard. I know the small quarter light ones just unclip, I'll have a look at mine this afternoon to see how they're fitted. Actually mine are pointless really as the Celsior rear windows are so dark.
  15. The-Acre
    Horses for courses but my Volvo has Avons and I would say they're the best tyres I've had.
  16. The-Acre
    Surely a main dealer warranty will cover you then. The shocks may not have failed but if they're leaking then they're faulty.
  17. The-Acre
    Unfortunately my experience of warranties, unless perhaps it's a main dealer, is they're not worth much. When I had my GS it came with a shiny warranty booklet but both claims I made were rejected as parts hadn't actually "broken" being worn wasn't enough!
  18. The-Acre
    Is it worth trying lexussparesdirect direct for used cats? Could it also be another issue, ie o2 sensors? It may be worth getting the codes read on a better reader.

    The same year as my first ever Lexus, faultless over the five years that I owned it.
  20. The-Acre
    You've the same type as me Phil, and I realise how wrong I was about WD-40 as I noticed the longer one has WD60 on it!
  21. The-Acre
    Sadly Rockauto can't be contacted by phone but their customer service email is fairly good, so you could perhaps email them to check parts details. The lifetime warranty won't apply if shipped outside the US (apart from Canada) so you'll get a two year warranty. If you choose post for shipping you'll likely get clobbered by Parcelforce for import duty. If you choose FedEx you pay vat up front so nothing else to pay, and delivery is very quick, I've had parts delivered in four days.
  22. The-Acre
    On the Denso fitting is says WD-40, is that some code or is it actually a suggestion that you apply some first I wonder.
  23. The-Acre
    To be honest I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, or even debating the issue, but if someone says they have the original alternator after 220k plus miles I'm more than happy for that to be the case....or not.
  24. The-Acre
    How can a car battery last 7 years and another 1 year, a wheel bearing 100k or 250k, the starter motor the same? Some LS starters have failed many haven't.
  25. The-Acre
    Strangely enough, I just looked out of my window and saw some pink animals with snouts flying past!
