Replaced all 4 tyres from Dunlops to Michelin Cross Climates - the Dunlops don't wear every well - they become noisier as the wear - the Michelin are alot quieter and supple. Also had the front nrake pads changed at the same time - the current ones made a groaning noise when stopping which I didn't like - replaced with genuine Lexus pads - all good now. And finally a quick wash to get rid of all the winter muck

Just ensure the audio unit is powered on - just an idea My iphone SE 2020 connects and works fine

Hi 1) the hasslefree option is to go to Lexus dealer - albiet the expensive option. They will supply and programme the key. 2) the other option is it to find the correct second hand key - make sure its deleted - have it re-programmed to your car (remember the smart option can only be done at a dealer or through someone who has the correct software). Additionally you will have to buy a new blade and have it cut and attached to your key. The remote locking (buttons) can be programmed by yourself - procedure is on this site somewhere. hope this heps

he also has a white import ls400 for 6k on ebay

I have no questions to ask 😃

SVT Services in Edinburgh repaired my 430 mine - try them

Good point! My 430 always overhangs in car parks

Hi Check if it has had a radiator replacement - if not get it changed If you can get it on a ramp to inspect suspension thats a bonus - its a heavy car and this takes its toll on the suspension - addiotionally check for uneven tyre wear - Check air struts for any fluid leakage or any mention of this on the MOT history Check drives seat base for sagging Check inside drivers pillar for excess wear on interior Check steering is straight when driving and not angled Check it doesnt have any warning lights Check air suspension operates correctly - car should rise approx inch and stay level Check glove box hinges and that it is level when closed Operate sunroof and check around rim for any rust Check for any TPMS warnings - these could be costly to replace/code Check the adaptive cruise control works - there has been some 1/2 reports of water ingress in the sensor Check the music system works - amplifiers are known to fail - also listen out for blown speakers hope this helps

I wonder if the screen has been converted since most celsiors come with japanese language?

That’s his next job once he’s finished with the Lexus - he’s already got the parts in order !!!

hi does the car bluetooth still function for incoming calls whilst playing music?

here is another recent addition to AT - advertised as an import 2012 Black Lexus LS 600h 5.0 V8 CVT 4WD 4dr for sale for £15,995 in Manchester, Lancashire (autotrader.co.uk)

I had the same problem with my 430 - the circle just came off with the hook - just lived with it whilst I hd that car - I did think at time of super-glueing the ring back but never did.

There are some available on ebay "toyota carpet hook" - have a browse

The Mark 3 cutting out (when slowing down from a run) is due to dirty throttle body.

My guess is engine got flooded. There has been 1/2 threads about this on this forum a while back. Why did you switch the engine off at the lights?

great result - oooh what are you hiding under the cover?😀

Hi Dom I cannot answer about the rear console but the front buttons (snow/pwr) use a bulb with green sheath over it part number 90010 - 01059 Replacment is straight forward once you have removed the switch panel There is a thread here aswell:

How about a good blob of clear silicone around the white connector - clean area and seat it back into place and let it dry - once its dry put another bead of silicone.

I didn't realise you still had the parking pole - and it passes mot with that?

is these any good? 1999 Lexus LS LS400 4.0 V8 4dr Auto SALOON Petrol Automatic | eBay 2003 Lexus LS430 For Sale (carandclassic.com)

These are rare - there are listed here: LEXUS LS400 DHP 17 INCH ALLOY WHEELS 99p NO RESERVE | eBay

I saw this on my brothers mercedes and BMW - my guess is it is supposed to do that (possibly to prevent blinding oncoming drivers??). Lets see what actual owners have to say

the price seems very good - its cheaper than what Amayama are quoting - lets hope its available - LPD are very good with speedy replies to emails
