You should have taken your car to a proper garage to diagnose the fault in the first place, not kwik fit or Halfrauds as I like to call them

It could be a weak battery or maybe alternator issue

They 300ish just for the radiator

No it doesn't, the ls400 is better built

Instead of a new radiator, you can get one of these: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F202737377906

Hi I've already joined lexus World couple of years ago. I've got an amp now, bought it for £50 and all is working now although I may want to replace the rear sub

Hi there I had this issue on an sc430 I had in the past, I replaced all the parts you have, and still had the issue, it turned out to be the variable valve timing solinoid, they are located at the front of the engine, the drivers side one controls the left side, you could either clean it or replace it, I replaced it and all was good. There's a video on you tube showing where it is and how to replace, it's very easy. I bought the part from rockauto, make sure you take the battery terminal off before replacing the sensor Remember bank 1 is the passenger side and back 2 is drivers side

What they do is remove the sensor from the wheel, it just pulls out, once out, slide one bit upwards and there's the battery, replace the battery and slide it back down and put the sensor back in the wheel. Obviously garages will tell you they can't do it etc just to make some money.

I'm not sure why they charge £90 just to put a battery into a tpms. It's only a watch battery that you can pick up in Halford for about £2, unless lexus batteries are made out of gold

Yes that car has been for sale for like over 2 years and yes he is a dealer

Try replacing the relay for the air con first. I remember on the ls400 they thought it was a big job to get the air con working, all it was was an o ring leaking which cost me 90p for a set and air con relay which is label mgt in the engine bay

If I was to replace the amp with another, what one could I use? And where will be able to get the connectors from to plug from the amp to the plugs in the car?

The part number on mine is 86280-0w070

I remember earlier this year, I went to lexus birmingham for brake pads and discs for the ls430 I had, I got talking with the service guys while I waited, they said the reason lexus is reliable is because of the ls400 and the CT. He said the other models are reliable but not as the ls400 and CT. Funny thing is, lexus Coventry told me the exact same thing last year. They also said the gs450h is a quick car yes, but wair until the hybrid batteries fail and an oil pump or something like that. Ls430 they said just to go for coilovers and replace the radiator, so looks like lexus know about the issues with the ls430 but having said that, it is s nice car. The cabin feels nice

Hi I wonder if anyone can help, I'm sending my amp to a specialist in Edinburgh to repair, it's from a 2001 sc430, but my question is, is the 2001 ls430 amp the same as a 2001 sc430

I had that exact issue, it was the brake shield. I pushed it back and a little bit of it fell off, anyway the sound went away.

All you do is take the air Suspension fuse out and you won't get any warning signs on the dash. That's what people do when they put coil overs on an ls430.

If you have no luck, you can always buy my ls430

Not cheeky at all. He was trying to sell that about 3 weeks ago, like I said he wanted a straight swap with my ls430, but my ls430 is worth more than what he's asking for the ls400, but he seemed like a nice guy. Offer him £1000 and then go from there.

If you want the waterpump done then it's just £99 extra because the engine will be stripped anyway so all you pay for is the waterpump, I think it's £99 extra or it may be £105 extra

Lexus have a fixed price for replacing a cam belt, I think it's £395

I remember this car. The person who owns it wanted to do a straight swap with my ls430 but ls430 is worth more so I wouldn't just straight swap it. The ls400 needs a cam belt replaced, it's way over due, it was last replaced in 2004, he admitted that it hadn't been replaced since and will need doing. It did have an issue with the y section of the exhaust but he said that's now been fixed.

That's exactly where the rust was on the Gs's I had.

Lexus give a 12 year rust warranty, so if your car is under 12 years take it down to them. They will check the rust and replace the bonnet. I had 2 mk3 gs300 and both had rust coming through on the lip of the bonnet, it's very common, and lexus replaced both bonnets.
