    Is that actually your car then,?
  2. The-Acre
    Very interesting, but as you say, toooo American!
  3. The-Acre
    When I bought my Volvo a few years ago I was around 4k short after trade in and putting my own money in, so I used a credit card with 24 months interest free, worked a treat.
  4. The-Acre
    No, mine resets the fuel average as well.
  5. The-Acre
    I just press reset on the steering wheel.
  6. The-Acre
    Minor woes then really. Not sure what you mean about not manually setting the average fuel consumption on the LS430, with mine you just press re-set whenever you want.
  7. The-Acre
    Sounds about right. I bought a genuine (Denso) one for my GS, I got it from Eurocarparts for £145 if I remember correctly, although Lexus wanted £195.

    It's ugly in a beautiful sort of way! I love the seat back covers, like something a granny would have on her armchairs.
  9. The-Acre
    Isn't it amazing how these cars can have such low mileage....and a 4.5 which is just about as new! Just out of interest, what's an Elgrand like to drive? I believe the 3.5 has the same engine as the 350Z?
  10. The-Acre
    Hmm, I could happily live with that, it's like an old Ford Mercury or similar, but then it's my love of American cars that first got me hooked on LS's being similar in shape.

    How is is it to get parts?
  12. The-Acre
    There has been a few posts recently about wipers and properly cleaning windscreens. I recently bought Bosch blades but still I get the fine misting when they wipe, very dodgy when the sun hits it.
  13. The-Acre
    Since buying an import I've become much more aware of others. It's surprising how many there are. I think the Elgrand is my favourite (after my Celsior of course!)
  14. The-Acre
    Pop your eyes back in for a moment. Which one offends you, the estate or the very 70/80's saloon?
  15. The-Acre
    I really like that. I wonder which Toyota it shares parts with.
  16. The-Acre
    A bit blurred but I'm sure it disables the interior alarm sensors in case you lock pets/children inside.
  17. The-Acre
    Although as Neil says, it may be worth replacing one. My Celsior had a leaky rear strut so I bought one from a breakers for £170, £75 labour and all is good.
  18. The-Acre
    I know an LS strut is about £850! A set of coilovers would cost the same.
  19. The-Acre
    And just so that you know, another member recently changed his RX air system to coilovers and it seemed to work fine. I went to see it as I was in the area and I was really impressed with what he did, and relatively inexpensive.
  20. The-Acre
    Definitely not that one, although when we've discussed over the years the disappointment that Lexus didn't make an LS estate, that's pretty close.
  21. The-Acre
    I think you'll possibly struggle to get parts for a Crown, not so with a Celsior.
  22. The-Acre
    Thanks Mark. I'm thinking of a cheap eBay set, but as I say I'll probably just do the two corners. I find the camera is really good, it's just the corners where the unseen (especially in the dark) concerns me. I'll get on my back and have a good look tomorrow. The main problem is getting back up!
  23. The-Acre
    Considering how well equipped most imports are I'm surprised mine doesn't have parking sensors. It has a rear camera and the illuminated retractable mast at the front, but I want to fit sensors. The front is easy but has anyone fitted them to the rear? I'm hoping not to remove the bumper so I'm wondering if anyone has fitted them. I realise it's unlikely as the UK spec ones usually come ready fitted. As I've got the camera I'd be happy just to fit them on both corners which may make it possible without removal. Any advice appreciated.
  24. The-Acre
    Well that could have been worse! I believe you can get the rods made, or even do some kind of DIY repair.
  25. The-Acre
    Correct, you can sell without being a gold member, although I think constant, and therefore trade like selling isn't allowed.
