Sadly AF was sky high when I had a quote back last August ☹️ I went multi car with LV.

The code reader had the ability to clear codes as well, so clear code and see if it comes back on again. It has been known for the electronics to have a little glitch and throw up a code when it doesn’t mean it . if it does come back, that camshaft sensor needs to be fix first before looking at other stuff .

My 1st SC looked okay without the surround 👍🏻
-
Can I ask who did you go with ?
-
Well that’s my OCD kicking in 😁😁 Stone may have caught windscreen ☹️
-
I had an JDM 3 door Rav4 years ago and found the kilometre Speedo irritating. With the SC there are more things no uk spec…speedo/trip in KPH,sat/sav not uk comparable , no rear fog lamps built into bumper, radio different FM band. Yet you do get an immaculate condition vehicle on the underside …..so it’s swings and roundabouts !
-
I was taken aback by how clean the underside was …if only I could get my car close to that now ☹️
-
Glad the SC is getting your seal of approval now, they do munch up the miles very easily 👍🏻

If you contact Paul Frost who runs this Lexus dismantlers, he may be able to help you . https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/lexussparesdirect

You could if you buy some spanner’s and a socket set 😉 …Good to see so many alternatives to buying from Lexus 👍🏻
-
Glad it’s all sorted at last….now get some miles on the clock 😎

You’ve open up a can or worms now ! This was a disagreement on the LW site Richard said leave them off Nick said they should be refitted ! I agree the dust deflectors should be refitted, yet if you only plan to keep the car a few more years maybe dust and metallic debris won’t cause problems with the ABS sensor….your gamble 👍🏻 No need to replace ABS sensor if it’s working okay . deflectors…… ..and sold separately. https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-sc430-rear-wheel-bearing-dust-deflector/

2006 sc430 rubbing sound from rear wheels
Bob King replied to Chrischesh's topic in Lexus SC430 Club
The rubbing sound is the handbrake shoes back plate rubbing on the back of the disc. The disc could be very corroded causing it to rub, but I suspect it’s the backplate distorted due to age. I've ground a small amount of metal off the lip,on the back plate on two SC430’s and a IS300 with good results afterwards. see lip next to handbrake shoes, rubs around at the bottom.

Hour per side for fronts, bit longer on the rear as all the boot lining has to come out first . pads 1/2hr.

This company seems a good price, although I’ve not used them. https://www.mlperformance.co.uk/products/genuine-lexus-48530-80244-superseded-from-48530-80352-sc430-rear-shock-absorber many of the overseas companies can’t send shock absorber by aircraft as they are basically a pressured tube 😮

This would be my company of choice for direct parts from Japan/UAE 👍🏻 https://www.amayama.com/en
-
What was the procedure..pull the black bit out and clip the cover on the end ? Bit like this maybe 😉 https://youtu.be/s30OPW1VDvA?si=9nwBIIXep5NBTT63

The sand coloured RYKAR car, something going on with the n/s/r wheel arch/sill area 🤔
-
Balfour car…. Can’t see much wrong with this in the photos, headlamps starting to discolour and the aerial is bent back and up in every photo (suspect busted ) . Fair money for the the mileage, black bodywork does need a bit more work to make it sparkle, yet the interior looks mint, good tyre brand …worth a look 👍🏻 http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402046230198

Gary has been to look at the blue one at westfields . ..saying that might have been another guy in the group ..time to look through this thread again 😮
-
Feedback on said car .. headlamp faded (need replacing ) water stains in boot. dig in both door skins. dealer wont budge on price .
-
Finchy40 (Gary) has been to look at this car already ….his findings are either in this thread, if not message him before you travel 👍🏻
-
The sand coloured one .
-
This SC seems a fair price for the mileage but a check on the mot history …it’s a rusty one 😮 Reg……CU07 USP http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202401255909387
