It is there but the mileage shows as only having done 33K very strange.

Hi Alex and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull them to bits and put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer left over.

She is off to UKTechnics in Maidenhead who are snowed under with work but they will do their best to get onto it as fast as possible. Updates to follow. Mike.

Some of them will but UK Teknics Ltd are looking best too sort poor Lexie.

Well that garage has given up so its up to Lexus tomorrow sometime unless I can find an ex Lexus engineer that can do the business. The Lexus garage is only about a mile from where the car is. Mike.

Thanks Stuart, no need to butt out all ideas are gratefully received as one of them will be correct. Mike.

Cheers Steve have PMd email. Mike.

The problem is on Petrol as well as LPG, thanks for the suggestion though. Mike.

I was a little concerned that there computers wouldn't work.. Steve has come up with some good ideas so have sent that across to the garage. Fingers crossed.

Sorry should have said the problem is Petrol or LPG exactly the same. Cheers for all that info Steve I will email it over to the garage tonight so they can try it all in the morning, What you say is very logical. "After the O2 sensors were replaced the car then drove OK for a short while then reverted back to misfiring, this could be another indication of a faulty ECU as those capacitors are affected by heat, could you leave the car to cool right down then restart and see if the engine behaves until warmed up?" Yes exactly as you say. Can the new Oxygen sensors, be blown, was the term used so that they don't work anymore. ? I left them taking the crud off some terminals that go to the ECU. Have a great weekend everyone Mike.

I am not going down the M4 said my Lexie 1998 MK4 LS400 For the very first time since I bought Lexie 6/7 years ago today she let me down. I managed to limp her to the next junction misfiring all the way. No dash board lights on Called the RAC who put the computer fault finding thingamejig and it wouldn’t read the car. Mr RAC said that the car was to old but he knew a garage that could read it so off we limped. The reader said it was an oxygen sensor 1 or 2 so they get a couple of them and replace both, everything seemed OK then on the test run back to missfiring, the reader said Oxygen Sensor 1 or 2. They take all the plugs out that were only replaced with new ones last week they compression test all 8 cyl no problems then they look at the plugs all down one bank (left hand side as you look at the engine) the plugs were black where as down the other bank they are as clean as they should be. Any ideas?

Well thought out.

Brilliant. Another year of smiley miles.

I would need money to take that one away. I wonder if it ends up you know where. Its not had an MOT for 3/4 years.

Hi Keanu and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull them to bits and put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer left over. I cant help with your present queries but I'm sure someone will be along ASAP and as Geoff has said don't be surprised when you are encouraged to go in a different direction. It will all become self explanatory.
