  1. sounds like a balancing weight hitting the caliper?
  2. I jealous! - not just of the car collection - but having a garage like that - WOW!
  3. glad your are happy with your purchase - only thing missing is pictures . . . . .
  4. When I had an alignment done the guy held the steering in a straight position before making any adjustments
  5. Have you checked to see if the function has'nt been switched off? - the button is near the pedals. Is it the same with all the keys?
  6. there is a topic here: also steve bought the car already converted so maybe he doesn't know what air suspension feels like. He bought his car from a member here phil (The Acre) - phil has written it all up here but i cannot find it
  7. Regarding the seat bolt this is a common problem - on my 430 the bracket which attaches to the bolt had broken so the seat was rocking badly - I had to buy a replacement seat and swap the mechanism over. On my current 430 I have the same loose bolt problem - I have tightened it once but now the problem has returned - last time the only way to access it was remove the seat completely - remove the plastic seat surround and then tighten the bolt - is this how you done it? Or is there a way to do it whilst west is in situ? Also did you tighten it fully- or leave enough slack to aid seat adjustment - please let me know
  8. 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
  9. Just ensure the audio unit is powered on - just an idea My iphone SE 2020 connects and works fine
  10. 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
  11. he also has a white import ls400 for 6k on ebay
  12. I have no questions to ask 😃
  13. SVT Services in Edinburgh repaired my 430 mine - try them
  14. Good point! My 430 always overhangs in car parks
  15. 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
  16. I wonder if the screen has been converted since most celsiors come with japanese language?
  17. That’s his next job once he’s finished with the Lexus - he’s already got the parts in order !!!
  18. hi does the car bluetooth still function for incoming calls whilst playing music?
  19. 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)
  20. 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.
  21. There are some available on ebay "toyota carpet hook" - have a browse
  22. The Mark 3 cutting out (when slowing down from a run) is due to dirty throttle body.
  23. 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?
