    I look foward to your write up afterwards. So are the ones faulty?
  2. cruisermark
    Oh man I feel for you! You really are in pursuit of perfection! I dare say I do think nothing suits the car other than what Lexus fitted it with.

    Lexus parts Direct have some great deals on brake parts at the moment - have a look on their website They are a main dealer selling genuine parts https://www.lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/category/lexus-rx/lexus-rx-phase-iii-2009-2015/lexus-rx-3-brakes-transmission/

    HI Hiten I always leave the AC running all year round and have never experienced any problems or smells (mine is 430) - that said if I do switch it off there is no smell either. I've noticed now that if I switch it off I get sweaty hands and a stuffy feel in the cabin Maybe there is something about modern AC systems that causes this smell and you have to run AC system cleaners which might be an idea - there are some where you release the seal and leave in the cabin whilst the engine is running with the AC on hope this helps

    If you guys are referring to the TRC off light? -I've just gone to check it on mine and it comes on briefly during ignition on and goes off even if you don't start the engine - it does come on and stay on if you select TRC off from the switch - hope this helps

    I've never had any smells in may cars or the need to use one of these products - just air con regass - during 13 years of LS ownership.

    sounds like same problem as mine - blown power supply unit within the amp
  8. cruisermark
    Hi Mine also went suddenly - I heard a crackle and then stopped working - otherwise no warning Did you check fuse 3 on drivers side panel? https://fuse-box.info/lexus/lexus-ls430-xf30-2000-2006-fuses-and-relay#Fuse_box_location

    I've had this problem before This 100% are the symptoms of amp not working - the power supply inside the amp fails - I got mine repaired for £285 BUT You will also have the same if you have a blown fuse i.e no power going to the amp - so check the fuses in the drivers side footwell fuse- IIRC there is one there for AMP

    I must admit their website looks a bit outdated but their service is brilliant. when do you intend to fit them?
  14. cruisermark
    thats a good price - I just noticed the LS ones are also on sale

    HI I done some research and came up with the following: Ali Express - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32954086692.html Amayama - https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/3523030010

    HI Jack This is common problem on the LS400 - the starter motor contacts wear out causing the symptoms you describe. You can buy the parts (motor contacts) and replace them - a few years ago the parts were available through ebay and you could buy them for a few quid but I cannot see them now. The alternative is to buy and replace the starter motor. Unfortunately as the the starter motor in positioned inside the "V" there is alot of dismantling required to get to it including removing the manifold so before you get a garage involved make sure they know what they are doing.

    I have only fitted the lower ball joints to mine which made the clunk on full lock go away Looking forward to your write up after you have replaced them
  18. cruisermark
    These are lower control arms bushes and us LS430 need to replace them once we hit 130K plus miles Paul Frost sell them for the 430 complete with the carriers so all you do is undo the bolts and swap over - barely takes 5 minutes If yours are soft that you can push your finger in then they will need replacing https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/lexussparesdirect
  19. cruisermark
    thanks john - I will consider that - its cheap enough
  20. cruisermark
    I think i will do the same - I was going to get the grom audio unit but someone here said the mic audio is on par with the lexus kit so for time being I have decided to leave as it is
  21. cruisermark
    Hi Karl Lexus were never into making diesels and unfortunately the is200d proved to be troublesome - problems include the above mentioned aswell as injector and gasket problems. If you got the car cheap and are good with spanners or know a good garage then you could try to get it running perfectly - there are lots of posts on this forum. On the other hand you could move it on and buy yourself a nice and silky smooth is250

    this mark 4 with LPG has come up - I think its a members car: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-LS400-1998-LPG/324246278904?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D7d7f90778a7f43d9abdbd534c4e24587%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D15%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D174372721376%26itm%3D324246278904%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2380057&_trksid=p2380057.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Aebd70ac8-d34e-11ea-b4ba-74dbd180be24|parentrq%3Aa5cea6891730a99b185a6ce2ffe28303|iid%3A1

    has anybody had success in transferring contacts with iphone and LS430?
  24. cruisermark
    This is the second time a "celsior" has failed shocks - a member here also has atleast one and his is low mileage - I wonder if it has a connection to the Japan climate or something else. anyway back to the question - you have 3 options : 1) Buy from dealer and replace - most expensive 2) Buy and convert to springs - the member above bought his complete set from US 3) Buy second hand units and take your chance I must say i have never come across a facelift LS430 in the UK with failed air suspension - sometime the ride height sensors pack up due to water ingress. hope this helps

    I use Gliptone leather cleaner first - dries quickly without clogging the seats - followed by Gliptone leather conditioner - this is easy to work with, smells nice and leaves leather soft and supple with no greasiness
