    I'm in Worthing, just up the A24 from Dorking. If you fancy I drive to the south coast let me know! I had the same thing recently trying to find the points for getting the car in the air on a friends garage lift, lots of plastic underneath.

    Lovely car! Either a wheel bearing or uneven tyre wear comes to mind. A wheel bearing can usually be determined by checking to see if it increases when cornering. I've also had annoying rumbling sounds from tyres that look OK but aren't.

    Where abouts are you in our tiny island Allan? It would be interesting to sit in an LS430 with coils.
  4. The-Acre
    Someone will need to confirm it but I'm 99.9% certain. I've actually seen an LS430 with MK4 wheels.
  5. The-Acre
    They will fit but I can't see how they would give a softer ride. I believe the ride in my 430 is equal to the 400's I've had.

    Just be careful you don't get crushed in the stampede, you know what people in this country are like when it comes to a bargain!

    Of course, and possibly "northist" is a new word? I'll have to Google it. Nope, someone got there first!
  8. The-Acre
    I mean a long way from Norfolk! Fear not, we have a family of 5 coming to stay with us from Yorkshire this month so we're not northist!
  9. The-Acre
    There's a very nice dark green MK4 LS400 on eBay, unfortunately in Yorkshire!

    His pride and joy no less!

    I love the Honda, what a gem! Not over keen on the Lexus. I also love the PIC of the Nissan GTR, I drove one last year round Dunsfold, fastest thing I've ever driven!

    Oscar Wilde would have loved reading that, as I did!

    When we were kids we used to put a whole pack of Refreshers in our mouths at once, it had the same effect!
  14. The-Acre
    Well done you! And I guess it may point to a problem that will come up again as we've both had it, at least now we know the solution. Happy honking!!
  15. The-Acre
    White dog poo!
  16. The-Acre
    Didn't have one in any of mine
  17. The-Acre
    It'll take you 30 seconds to see if the problem is the same as I had, just get yourself any piece of single wire. I touched one end on a door hinge bolt and the other on various parts of the metal supporting the steering motors, you don't need to take the steering wheel off just to experiment with it, it's worth a try. Maybe get someone to hold the horn pad down while you do it (or use your head as I did!)
  18. The-Acre
    Eh?
  19. The-Acre
    And here's a good example.

    I did unfortunately graduate to the real thing before giving it up 30 years ago!
  21. The-Acre
    Excellent, definitely one I'll be keeping. Oh, and thanks for reminding me of my age, I remember them all! I remember riding my heavy bike with a sweet cigarette in my mouth and hearing and old lady say "Smoking at that age, disgusting"!!
  22. The-Acre
    And the thing is that you know that's true. I don't know of any other car I've ever owned that I could say that about. I've driven brand new cars that don't drive anything like an LS of advancing years!
  23. The-Acre
    Yes, I remember that now. How's your running now, all fine and dandy?
  24. The-Acre
    The one on eBay sold a few days ago for £2,800, it did have only 31k on the clock but I don't really see that kind of mileage as a good thing necessarily.
  25. The-Acre
    Annoyingly the cheap fix doesn't work on the LS430, I don't think it works on the MK4 either. As mentioned, on the facelift model you have an airbag to protect your knees.
