  1. Go for it Pete - you could make it look like ur brothers!
  2. Yours is the Mark 4 with the sat nav right? in which case you use the 3rd option.
  3. Looks like the work of man who knows what he is doing - I would be interested to find out how the drive/steering feels afterwards compared to before plz. - im getting a bit too much road feel through my steering and want to see if I can pin it down - I changed the track rod ends without much difference.
  4. Check your coolant colour is nice and red - and there is no oil contamination - the LS radiator is also a combined atf cooler aswell and sometimes the Inlet and outlet unions for the atf rust allowing water and atf oil to mix therefore causing gearbox problems.
  5. I cannot help with your query - I hope you get a resolution soon
  6. Hi keith - although i don't have one i don't think there is - the reason is becuase another member bought a 460 and they fitted an aftermarket kit similar to yours to get that feature Here is the link hope this helps
  7. WOW ! - your guys certainly don't hang around - that will be a mint car when you have finished with it!
  8. I would say its definatley worth having a conversation with your dealer
  9. Is it true the designers were given an endless budget when designing them?
  10. Ok guys I havent smoked anything since the school days ! I was only suggesting getting a cover made from leather to go over the console.
  11. im surprised bidding did'nt go higher and to be honest if condition and history are present then its a cracking car for £2k. There is another dhp model on auto trader asking 5K!
  12. I know one member too their seat base out and had the leather tightened to get rid of creases - I would talk to an upholstery specialist in your area
  13. This is not a common problem on the 400 - I would start with simply getting your battery checked - failing battery cells throw up all sorts of unexplainable symptoms.
  14. I watched that video Then ended up watching this Quite funny -
  15. Hi Phil I believe it adjusts the sensitivity of the rains sensor - I have it set to max which ( I believe) switches on the wipers even in a mild drizzle. I think the rain sensor and the Keyless entry are couple of very useful and well thoughout features of the 430 and they work flawlessly. We have a 3 year old 5 series in the family and it has keyless start only meaning you have to lock and unlock via the remote. It has rain sensing wipers but they switch off everytime you switch the ignition off the ignition! - not very well thought out With the 430 you set and forget!
  16. Posted January 30, 2016 Here are some of things u should check: Make sure it has a full or at least a good service history which includes the cambelt change. On driving the ride should be quite smooth comfortable with no noises or creaks from the suspension. Gearbox changes should not be noticeable Upon inserting key the steering should tilt and retract - test and make sure the mechanism works as motors are very expensive Braking should be quite and smooth - if you get a groaning noise when coming to stop that’s a sign of cheap aftermarket brake pads - they will need replacing. Check colour of gearbox oil it should be red with no smell of burning. Check all electrics work Check the Sat Nav works - there have been reports of some failures Check the sound system properly to ensure no blown door speakers or woofer Check the air suspension works - when the switch is flicked the car should rise about at inch slowly - and the compressor does not make any noises Check the bonnet struts hold the bonnet Check the car has the correct Toyota red coolant Check for rust around the doors near the plastic trim and around the boot area Check rear quarter panel glass for cloudiness - this indicates the glazing has failed - mainly of pre facelift Ask if the cabin filter has ever been changed - these are often over looked. Check the bonnet pull works as it should - some of them fail Check toolkit is present Make sure there are no warning lights lit in the dash Ideally you want 3 remote keys Check the car has a matching set of tyres and wether they are branded or not - this should give an indication wether the car has been pampered or neglected Before driving off make sure you have the say nav code and locking wheel nut key.
  17. Hi - if its binding brakes you can check for a hot wheel after a long drive
