Tulpen

It might be that the limit switch in the motor doesn't think that it has reached the stop position. I had the same problem when a pedestrian fell off a pavement when I was at the lights. He hit the mirror and 'adjusted' its position. With the engine running, I altered the mirror position till the motor stopped clicking at the right point. If that doesn't work then, as Steve says, a second hand mirror assembly is your best bet.

Yes, but mostly you did that at a Toyota garage.

Can you give us a it more info? How many miles has it done, when and where was it last serviced etc.

My 460 has a sunroof which I have only opened once - to check if there was any rust (there wasn't). One of the reasons I drive an LS is because it is whisper quiet. I have the aircon on all the time and I'm a happy bunny!

Unless, of course it fails on a dark and rainy night in the middle of nowhere. I've been an LS owner (400 and 460) for 27 years now and the best piece of advice I can give is to get your machine serviced regularly and on time. They are magnificent machines but you have to play your part.

One of the reasons I didn't go for the SE-L was the small boot. While all the extra bells and whistles may sound good in the golf club bar, just how many times do you use them? Rear air-conditioning may be useful in southern USA or the Middle East but how many times do you REALLY need it in the UK. The reclining/massaging seats are great if you have a chauffeur or regularly carry someone with a bad back. And, in this age of I-pads, tablets and smart phones, do you really need the entertainment system? The 'normal' boot is huge and I love it. Just my tuppence worth...........

Best thing so far is that if the parking sensors detect an obstruction, you have a sweet female japanese voice saying something presumably along the lines of 'watch out'! She is saying 'you want happy ending'?

In fairness, Malc, I don't think many of us on here buy a new LS. Most are sold to companies and, after a few years, members on here snap up a bargain. My first LS (bought in 1997) was 3 years old and my second (2013) 6 years old.

My 460 had a tracker fitted, when new. After two years the subscription wasn't renewed and everyone forgot about it. It took two battery replacements (free of charge) before the dealer decided to investigate in-depth and remove the culprit.

I bought my 460 from the Lexus dealer in Breda in 2013. It had been the garage demonstrator then the MD's personal transport, so it had been very well looked after. Cars, in general, are in good condition over here - second-hand prices are pretty high. The conditions of the roads has, in my opinion, a lot to do with it. In a recent survey, the roads in Holland and Switzerland were considered to be the best in the world. The Louwman museum in The Hague is really great. I've been there a few times when friends and relatives are visiting. As I said, the 400 on exhibit is the first one sold in Holland.

I live in the west of Holland, about half way between Amsterdam and The Hague. Between 2000 and 2012, I lived here about 4 months every year and brought my British LS400 with me. In that time, I didn't see another LS. In 2012 we decided to spend about 8 months a year here and bought a Dutch LS460. Since then I've seen two others - both at the dealer's. There is an LS430 somewhere close to me, I've seen it parked in a shopping mall car park but never had a chance to talk to the owner. The original, Dutch registered, LS400 (1993) can be seen in the Louwman Museum in The Hague. It's a great museum, well worth a visit. The LS is a very rare beast in Holland.

I've never paid much heed to car magazine reviews. The way they drive has very little in common with the way most of the rest of us utilise our vehicles. I mean, why would you want to floor the accelerator in an LS. You have more than enough spare power to do what you with just a small pedal movement. The LS gets you from A to B quickly and in sublime comfort........appreciate it.
