    I'd go with what Simon has said. I buy parts from rockauto as even with delivery it's cheaper than main dealer parts, some parts can take from 3 days to a week to arrive, or I buy parts from lexus birmingham as Simon said, they do give a good discount. An example, I was looking at lower ball joints for an ls430 at Lexuspartsdirect, their price is over £80, lexus birmingham sell them for £52 All in and rockauto was around £30 for the same part, front pads and discs from Lexus birmingham cost me £142 all in. But Lexuspartsdirect do give discount on some parts.

    To be honest I still think it's those small o rings that need replacing , your air con has the same mine did.
  3. messi
    The air con condenser is around £60 from rockauto, and it's a denso condenser, why not just buy it from there and have it replaced?

    I have tow bar for an ls430, but the one bit is on the car and the other bit I've taken off and put in boot and it's got Lexus written on it. I'm never going to use it.

    That's was exactly where the seals on my ls400 perished, went to halfords, got a small box of air con seals for about a £1.50, did the work myself and it took my about 15-20 mins to sort out.
  6. messi
    It's a leak, one of the o rings must be leaking, it happened to mine, I replaced the o ring and it sorted it.

    Yep rockauto, I got a denso o2 sensor couple of years ago, cost about £40 with delivery. Delivery took about 3 to 4 days. I've just looked on their website, Denso o2 sensor cost £30ish and the other one is just over £40, much cheaper than main dealer parts unless lexus parts direct can beat rock auto price, I would get it from rockauto
  8. messi
    It's the o2 sensor that's faulty not the cat. Bank 2 is the drivers side sensor.

    You can get a continental or dayco belt from GSF for £15 And yes it's about a 10 mins job

    I got denso irridum sparkplugs from rock auto, took about 3 to 4days for delivery all for £37 odd pounds for all 8. But you can also use NGK irridum sparkplugs which may be a little cheaper. I even got some for a friend's Porsche cayenne
  11. messi
    I know someone who just sold one. He had it on his ls430 and it worked a treat
  12. messi
    Why do you want to sell it? It looks a nice car
  13. messi
    It's from Lexus main dealer at trade price but if you look on rock auto you can pick up denso radiator for around £80 but there are 2 different types
  14. messi
    I just got quote from Lexus parts direct for a radiator, £400 odd quid. Birmingham lexus said they would sell me a radiator at trade price at just over £200
  15. messi
    I wouldn't get anything from strutmaster. For some reason they get alot of orders completely wrong and I have heard they having got the correct struts for ls430 even though their website says they do Why not just get get bc coilovers for £600 - £700?
  16. messi
    You need denso or ngk irridum sparkplugs as recommended
  17. messi
    Hi well the lpg ls430 £3500 in Dudley birmingham, I would stay well clear from. It's that well known dodgy dealer lexuschap now known as lexuslegend
  18. messi
    Oh I get it now. So the UK model radiator is different
  19. messi
    Hi yes I've heard there are 2 type of radiator for the ls430 but your saying the one euro car parts is a straight fit? Thanks
  20. messi
    Hi where did you get the radiator from and any idea what the part number is?
  21. messi
    Hi Fitted pads and discs about a week ago, went for a very long drive yesterday, came back, turned into my road and it started making a loud squeaking noise. It only happens when turning. Could it be slider pin come loose? 20190309_212314.mp4

    That green gs430 was for sale for over 2 years on and off, the previous owner found it very hard to sell. He sold it recently to this trader for I think £2500, around that mark anyway and obviously the trader has to make a drink on top
  23. messi
    I had an ls430 with the same issue. The rubber seal was coming away from the nearside rear quarter glass
  24. messi
    I think it's best to get yourself a whole newish fuse box, may be from someone who's breaking an Ls because that looks bad
  25. messi
    Anyone?
