hi i have repaired my door speakers with a foam kit : have a read here: there is also a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW2VWq2LLHs

93 and 95 were totally different shapes therefor no it will not fit

well im sure this was a members car a few years back "steve bedford" (irrelavent i know) it has now been relisted with "first to see will buy" mentioned - no mention of blowing exhaust though

i thought it being a non fault accident he can approach the other persons insurance company and demand that his car be repaired at the a garage of his choice? Why should he suffer through no fault of his own?

lovely looking car - enjoy? whats the mileage and is FSH

hi phil reference the height adjusters - other members have as a preventative measure put some grease on them to keep the moisture out. and reference the radiator - you cannot tell wether its about to fail or not by just looking at it - the problem is inside hidden from view and starts at the transmission fluid inlet unions. - hope this helps

Well normally they say they check the condition of the waterpump and advise the customer - i would of thought they have the same approach for the tensioners aswell - so the answer to your question is yes

sorry i dont hear mine come one - however 10 seconds sounds very reasonable

there is a write up here on how to do it - it is in 2 parts - alot of dismantling required http://www.evansweb.info/2009/11/15/ls400-centre-console-illumination-repair-part-1/

yes thats correct - all 4 corners rise

the forum at its best!

if i remember correctly those are pictures posted by Chris Haylands - he was a very active member here a few years back and was often doing small jobs on his LS and posting pictures up including a very detailed write up of his LPG install. Chris adjusted his for the same reason - if its really bugging you and your confident enough then give it a go.

mine looks exactly the same as already said above. just remember to flick the switch from high to low to keep things moving and free

certainly does not look 15 years old - testament to a quality build, finish, materials and workmanship

the door speakers which failed in my case are made of 2 parts - the cone and the foam surround - what happens is the foam disintegrates and partsaway from the edge of the speaker - this creates extra vibration and the blown sound - actually removal and repair of the speaker is very easy and cheap

could it be wheel balancing weights? - if they are stuck on the inside rim they start hitting the caliper outer edge

absolutley agree with that - putting extra stress on the motor which it is not designed to take will only shorten its life of the motor or the moving gear and we already know that atleast one part which is a plastic with worm gear running through it wears out. i make sure my hands are not touch the steering whilst its moving

absolute beauty

here is another option:

mine is a 04 plate facelift version and i have had it over 3 years. Problems i have had is: Failed power supply on amplifier resulting in no sound - repair cost £300 one front parking sensor faulty - available cheaply door speakers eventually blew - i repaired myself using a kit - now fine. Martin was a bit unlucky - the gearbox problem is there but failures are in a few numbers - buying a fitting a new radiator eliminates the problem. If you try to go for a facelift version - they tend to have less problems. these cars respond very well to LPG conversions - Profess Gas and Leeds LPG have been recommended on this forum. hope this helps

lovely car - even the drivers seat has a nice matt unused look and being grey the leather and carpets will be easy to look after

so what does "masonic tendencies" mean please?

reference the seat - i would take it out and have a look underneath - there are various motors with long spindles with worm gears attached - it could be that one of the mechanisms is seized due to lack of use - overall the seat electrics are very reliable so hopefully this might be an easy and cheap fix

I have in the post thrown a jug of water (luke warm i should say) over the windscreen to defrost it only for the auto wipers to come on and splash it on me ! lol

is the car still as quite as the original exhaust? - or do you get eh V8 rumble
