  1. That's right, they don't have a switch to fold them in and out, the 1999-2000 do though
  2. The only difference between a 1998 ls400 and a 1999-2000 ls400 is the 1998 doesn't have electric side mirrors.
  3. I was just thinking, when I had an Ls400 it was making a whining noise and it turned out to be the alternator
  4. Hi It could be the drive belt and the idle pulley.
  5. It's the vsv sensor. It's got nothing to do with a wheel bearing causing an abs sensor fault, infact never heard of such a thing
  6. I remember I had this issue with an ls430 I had. The vsv sensor was around £59 from the dealers, but job itself is around 3 to 4 hrs and thats because of where it's located. This is a common problem on the 430 engine. It happens on the Ls, Gs and the Sc 430's
  7. I've met the guy and his wife Pat, at the the time he was selling an ls430 reg H5WPT and and 2 ls400
  8. Taking about over pricing check this one out. http://m.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C902086 It's our old friend Baz, no doubt it will slowly come down in price as he always likes to over price his cars and drops the price as no one is interested, but the excuses hahaha, he's already had a white ls400 and didn't get many jobs in it, in fact I've heard he didn't get any weddings jobs in it and now he wants another white one haha
  9. Maguires ultimate compound is good for getting rid of swirl marks
  10. And he says in ad he will get a new mot tomorrow, so I guess he means his friend will pass it and won't disclose any faults there may be on the car
  11. The one is Dudley is abit odd. It's a premium pack but doesn't have the rear massaging seats etc
  12. The car does look mint, but there's a 2006 model on AutoTrader with just over 130000 miles on that looks mint too for £4700 or something like that so I think he's asking far too much for one that's done over 300000, don't care if it's one of the last ls430, it's still way too much.
  13. Your right it could be an updated disc I'm not too sure though. Can you tell from the pic I've put up.
  14. That's the one that's in there
  15. Since I've had my sc the satnav hasn't been working, I really think Lexus satnav are rubbish and I use my Google maps so haven't been bothered to get it looked at, but I'm hoping someone can help I get this mesg saying unable to read data. Check if map dvd is correct. Does that mean the satnav player has had it or is it just the disc itself? Thanks in advance
  16. Really? I didn't know. I would have been interested in that
  17. Well if there's any going for around £300
  18. Thank you. Yeah she knows most the cars she sees on the road. Lately she's been saying she wants to become a vet and help animals. That made me very happy.
  19. My daughter loves it. She's only 4 years old but she knows a Lexus and Toyota when she's sees one on the road, when she sees a bmw she's says "look a Bmtroubleyou" lol. But she loves the sc. I keep saying to her I might sell it to get a 4 door car, and she says noooo don't sell it because I love it. So I'm actually looking for a very cheap 4 door car and I mean cheap as I want to park the sc up for winter too. Mine has the orange type of colour interior and I've had it resprayed Porsche lapis blue pearl. It was light blue when I bought it, but because the previous owner took it to Austria and back, it was scratched up to the max.
  20. The sc430 is a beautiful car, lovely to drive, I don't drive it often but sometimes especially on weekends I can't wait to drive it. I was going through a midlife crisis when I bought it, but I'm glad I did. It gets looks where ever it goes. Saturday just gone, I had the roof down, stuck in traffic and this lovely looking woman came up to my car and said, "my son likes your car" lol. Alot of people don't know what it is and that's probably because you don't see many around. Its just had a recall job done and I had rear shock absorber replaced. Sometimes I think I need a 4 door as when I go to pick up my little daughter on weekends to stay over, she comes with her bags and toys so that's the only disadvantage not much room in the back, but that's about it.
  21. I've had 3 ls400's, 2 ls430, 2 Gs300 mk3, 1 Gs430 mk2, and now I drive an sc430, but I can still say, the Lexus ls400 is the best and the most reliable car ever made
  22. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201708128289404?advertising-location=at_cars&model=LS 400&sort=sponsored&price-from=500&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=New&radius=1501&make=LEXUS&postcode=b95hb&page=1 Abit over priced me thinks and it certainly isn't an L reg, but it's mint
  23. I get the oil and filter from dealers and then also get my local garage to replace it while I watch, it only cost me £10
