Hi, is it ok to charge a 12volt battery with a charger, while the battery is still connected to the car. If I remove the battery will the radio etc need to be recorded?

Going to try & get the cost down cos £600 for parts + fitting seems extortionate to me.

Thanks

Thanks, what site is it? Steve

Thanks for trying, narrows it down a bit more. I just wish I knew for sure, as I can't afford to buy them on the offchance they might fit.

I have seen posts that say they have replaced the originals with gs300 shocks, but nobody seems to be able to give the part number, or year of gs300 that would fit. Maybe it's just me being a bit thick. Anyway, thanks for the reply.

Hi all, need to replace the rear shocks on my gs450h 2006. I can't afford the adjustable ones, can anyone tell me the part numbers for the GS300 shocks. I'm not sure which year of gs300 shocks would fit, or kyb shocks. I have asked Lexus parts direct but they can't advise, starting to get a bit desperate as mot is looming. Would be very grateful for any help. Steve

Hi I was on my way to the in-laws the other day & started to hear a knocking coming from under the car.Had a quick look & there was a sensor had come loose from the exhaust .There were no warning lights on the dash and the car was going fine , so when I got to the inlaws I took it to a local exhaust place for a quik look. They pushed it back in & the cars still going fine. I have a picture of where the sensors come from & wondered if some one could tell me what it is & the likely cost of having it replaced. hope I have done this right Thanks Steve

Hi, I'm looking to replace my spark plugs, I had it converted to lpg about 4 years ago. I'm thinking of using Bosch irridium which I've seen on Opie oils for £7.30 delivered. Any thoughts, advice on which ones to use will be appreciated. Steve

just to update you on my search for a radio.Tried 24/7 spares cheapest qoute was £40 with postage but the radio had a cassette stuck in it ,decided to give that one a miss. The most expensive , luckily I was sat down when they told me the price , £190 with postage & vat.Needless to say I didn't buy it. I think I will look for someone breaking a car& see what sort of prices they want? Steve

Thanks for the replies,I have decided to give 24/7 spares a go.Never used that kind of site before.Cos the 2 radios on ebay,one was cheap enough but had a cassette stuck in it & I'm not sure how difficult it is to fix.While the other seemed a bit pricey. Thanks Steve

I'm looking to buy a radio for my 1996 Ls400. One that does not have the usual probs,eg no backlight and lcd that is missing info. Before looking on auction sites,I Just wondered if any of you lovely loc members had one you want to sell? thanks Steve

A few weeks ago came back from 2 week family hol in Cyprus.The lexus had been parked at my sisters for 2 weeks,got in to start it the next morning ( see where this is going) nothing,battery was flat.Luckily my brother in law had a set of jump leads,she started with no problems. After a 200 mile drive home my first job should have been to either charge the battery or buy a new one.Guess which one I choose?Thats right,neither!! Last weekend we planned to stay with the inlaws for a couple of days,so late friday morning I thought I had better fill her up,turn the key and bugger all,not a sound.I dont have jump leads,my bro in law is 200 miles away,I'm not a member of any breakdown org.These things always happen on a friday,when you don't have the luxury of all week to sort it out.oh,& the misssus car was in work with her. Luckily for me a hundred yards down the road from me are Tayna batterys,they couldnt have been more helpful,tried to charge my old battery,but after charging & testing it,it was looking decidely iffy,so bought a brand new varta battery for £58. so the moral of the story is dont put it off. Steve

On my way into Rhyl yesterday,saw a lovely Ls400.Wondering if it was a loc member,who is local to me or maybe someone on their jollys in sunny Rhyl. Steve

My 1996 Ls400 has started to develop rust bubble on the passenger side rear wheel arch.I've owned the car for about 3 years.I'm wondering how much it would cost to get it done professionally,as I'm colour blind & cack handed.Any idea of costs involved? Steve
