Hi all. Not been on for a while been working away. 

Ist thing I have a groaning noise from front of car, it happens when braking and continues even when took foot of brake then disappears when start to drive of again till next braking. I have just had the bearing hub replaced and which was very load so I mustn't of been able to hear this groaning while bearing was bad. Next I've noticed my seat base will not go in and out anymore, I hear it clicking from the button when pressed anybody else had any of these, there is a number of other faults but I'll post as I go on later. Cheers Phil 

ps just been mot'd and all ok on that side and they say discs pads brakes are all fine  

 

Regarding the seat problem. Derrrrrrrrr I was pressing wrong button. Dementia. 

I was told at mot station that half the stuff can't be seen or got at because of all the covers over them, but he told me this is all going to change in the near future so looks like are mot will cost a great deal more. Has anybody else heard this. 

Omg. Before long they will be putting a paramedic in the boot

Might sound daft but are the subwoofers fused??  Just something else going to try fix, I've popped the sub cover and it looks good so can't see it have been disconnected but I could be wrong. On my last 430 the sub worked but I had to repair it as it was gone round the rim. Don't fancy taking rear seats out to see if it's been disconnected, can it be got at through removing upper boot lining?? 

Looks to be sitting fine to me anyway

Inspired by the Scottish scenery framing a shiny green car I decided to give mine the same treatment today.  The very good East Europeans did the hand wash and I applied the Autoglym, an excellent product (unless you put the bottle down too hard like I did so it shoots out all over your face!)  Obviously my backdrop is a little more uninspiring.

Stunning, can't say I've seen that colour before. 

All pads discs are good Bren 

Don't fix what's not broke, if you try adjusting it yourself and things go wrong you'll only kick your self. 

Is it me or do most silver cars paint look patchy (shaded). Even tho theve not had any paint work done. 

Just bearing hub replaced, calliper crossed my mind. There's a list of faults as long as my arm so will see if I can sort them at a reasonable cost or it may end up in lexuschaps hands. NOT it's also running on winter tyres don't know if that will contribute to any unwanted noise??

Hmmm wouldn't say it's that but won't rule out, there is also like a feeling of a worn out brake pad some times but discs pads are fine????  Think this car was a bad buy got a feeling it's going to bite me bad. 

Wouldn't like to say about cold conditions not really looked at it that way. What are you thinking??

Mines like a boiling kettle as well

Nope. Doesn't work of the fob by pressing button for long time, barrel is out not depressed in. Anymore suggestions.

Mine has everything I think? Nav Bluetooth voice ect how do I find out without driving into the back of somebody.

Ye Phil, if you see radar ready when you engage cruise, top spec had keyless entry and go, soft closing doors, rear screen and side window blinds, a fridge, and power seats in the rear. William

Yes. Has everything but don't recall anything coming up on dash apart from cruise.

Oops. Had it turned on cold when I tried it. Well it was dark.

Is radar cruise standard? 2004 ls430

Yes knob lights up. Will have a peep under seats st wiring when get time.

Hi all. Yet another fault found on car.

My drivers seat gets warm but passenger seat doesn't anybody had this and is there a easy cheap fix. This car seems to be coming up with more faults than John macenroe. Cheers phil

Maybe he's upgraded bulbs?? Pretty sure standard

Perhaps he was a warrant officer

If I get door done happy days. My last 430 developed door rust to me it is a design fault so see how i get on.

It seems to be a common problem

Is it who we think it is?? I think so
