    I had my Celsior MOT 8 weeks ago which passed without an advisory, in the past 4 weeks I've had a knock driving over bumps, it appears to have started at the front but now it's the rear as well, in fact the rear seems to be the loudest. I've just come back from the garage where we had it up on the ramp but all joints/bushes are good. The mechanics suggestion now is strut top mounts. Has anyone had experience of the top mounts causing a knock?

    Well I hope you can straighten it otherwise it'll bug you!🕷️
  3. The-Acre
    I hope you insist they fix it.

    Therein lies my problem, my manual is in Japanese! My checks seem to suggest HB3.
  5. The-Acre
    I ordered it through the website and had it delivered.
  6. The-Acre
    Good result. How about a link to the units you bought, it might help someone else?
  7. The-Acre
    And how is the ride now?

    No, I got a Koyo rad from ECP, about £120. And yours being a Celsior like mine it'll have the same set-up so a direct fit, whereas you would have to adapt it if you had a UK spec car.

    Sorry to read your tale of woe. I once fitted a cooler to an LS430 which seemed fine for several months, but after a while I changed it for a new radiator thinking the original setup has to be best. The only thing that causes this "potential" problem is corrosion as the connections and washers aren't stainless. Corrosion causes the O rings to no longer seal correctly. The thing to remember is that this corrosion takes several years, if it happens at all, so I would (and am) be happy with just a new radiator and fresh coolant. Having seen your lovely Celsior I'm very pleased that it wasn't terminal!

    Welcome to the LOC Kev, a fair few members now from the Emerald Isle! I'm sure a fellow owner will enlighten you soon as to your problem.

    I agree that these advisories are generally nothing to worry about.
  12. The-Acre
    I'm really not sure it's necessary at that mileage. Mine is on 69k and the fluid is very red so it's staying!
  13. The-Acre
    That's something I didn't know, so you can still use the phone's sat nav without using data?

    The LS has the same feature where it extends further as well, but I'm guessing these settings can't be programmed to the memory, or can they?

    LS400 Wanted

    The-Acre replied to MotorDevil's topic in Wanted

    John, a member had his for sale just a couple of days ago, I can't remember who but a search on the LS forum should find it. When you say second generation 94-2000 that could be a mk2, 3 or 4 so do you mean the last series produced which is a mk4 from 97-2000? Black is fairly rare as well but you may get lucky. Also club members tend to hang on to theirs!

    Thanks Steve, mine is post 07. I was simply looking at getting something a bit brighter as the original bulbs seem very dull, but there doesn't seem to be much available. I was hoping for something like the "Nightbreaker" bulbs but they don't seem to exist for mine. Maybe just replacing the old for new would help.
  17. The-Acre
    Can someone confirm which of the two is the main beam bulb number? Thanks. And is it just a bulb or does it come with the plug connection as well?

    Now your talking, I had the aforementioned Wolsley in black with red leather, marvelous car, a Wolsley and an Austin Westminster, complete with starting handle!
  19. The-Acre
    And should you be involved in an accident an insurance company will use any excuse not to pay up.
  20. The-Acre
    A different car but the same idea. My Celsior passenger seat does the same, first it goes forward, then the headrest folds, followed by the seat back but it certainly doesn't lay flat.
  21. The-Acre
    Me too!
  22. The-Acre
    Same here, I've never seen that before!
  23. The-Acre
    As you're doing a bit of playing around, I can't help thinking a little boot spoiler like I've just done would look the biz on yours. I'm really pleased with the look of mine, it just adds a little something to the rear end.
  24. The-Acre
    I see.....I think!
  25. The-Acre
    I couldn't be bothered with having to do extra wiring just to change my indicators, especially as I haven't got a clue what a PMW module is! I replaced my centre brake light bulb with an LED and it was worse than a normal bulb so I took it back out.
