Hello All,
I'm another new member having recently bought a 1995 LS400 Mk3. Paid £1500, already LPG converted and running very smooth (so far!). Appears well looked after although second owner was a bit hit and miss at keeping receipts/records of work done. I have a receipt from his Lexus Dealership for a new cambelt in Dec 2005, when the car was on about 80,000 miles, but no receipt for fitting it and no sticker on the engine! I am guessing, hopefully, that it was actually fitted. Any other way that I would know? The car is now on 120,000 so I'm not looking at a change for a little while IF a new one was actually fitted!
I am loving the drive and my wife is saying she has become a Lexus widow! Never enjoyed cleaning a car so much in my life!
If anyone has a good advice/recommendations for servicing/work in the Berkshire area, when the need arises, I would be much appreciated. There are two Lexus dealerships near me, Reading and Bracknell. Anyone had any experience with either?
Slowly working my way through the small but clearly common issues; retractable ariel motor not working, getting rid of evidence of the previous owners smoking habit (car had been valeted but front and back ashtrays still loaded with butts!) etc.
Any advice on a colour match for the lovely pearlescant white for stone chips etc? Dealership?
Thanks for all the super helpful advice.
Jim
