  1. Just out of curiosity, where is the temp sensor located?
  2. Rockauto. I have a lexus ls400, lexus main dealers wanted over £240 for an abs sensor, a wire with a plug on it, even the parts guy couldn't believe the price. Anyway ordered one from rockauto for £120 delivered within 3 days
  3. Why not disconnect it under the centre console, it's about a 5 min job
  4. Hi, just getting a new wheel bearing fitted but the passenger side rear abs sensor is seized and will break, where can I get another from? Prices are like £190 at lexus, for a wheel speed sensor. It must be gold plated, I may have to bite the bullet and buy it unless someone is breaking a 1998/2000 ls400. Thanks
  5. The mk4 belongs to paul Frost. Looks a nice one
  6. Hey guys, Rockauto have a sale on manufactured and new starter motors and alternator for the ls400. I'm thinking of buying one of each just as a precaution if my ls400 doesnt sell. Everytime I drive it, i get in 2 minds about selling it.
  7. I've checked the mot history, the last one was just tyres wearing unevenly, most of the mot history is clean
  8. Last year I took my car for mot as usual, anyway one of the advisories was play in steering rack joints aswell as rear upper arms, so bought brand new rear arms, mechanic fitted them and said there was nothing wrong with the old ones, but I still got them replaced, he also said theres no play in the steering rack joints so I didnt buy any. Took the car for mot 2 weeks ago at the same place, and not a mention of play in the steering rack joints, but then said, one of the side light bulbs isnt working, so he failed it, went into the car in front of him and switched the lights on and low behold it was working, they were new bulbs I'd put in last year, then he said theres slight play in passenger rear wheel, could be bearing, but it's not making any noise and car drives proper silent.
  9. Theres is no such thing as president model, its just badge the owner has stuck on. Car looks very tatty. I wouldn't bother with that one
  10. That looks nice, looks to me like the sonic shadow. I'm torn between getting a mk2 mr2 or Honda legend coupe
  11. It could also be sparkplugs or coilpack, and no they won't throw up a check engine light
  12. Hi Bilt hamber make a good air con bomb. Yes thats right, the cabin filter is the pollen filter
  13. No matter what lexus say, get the air con bomb and clean it out, and also replace the pollen filter And regarding the gas pump nozzle shutting off, that's normal for some lexus cars, you'll find that you will need to either pull the nozzle out abit, or twist it around,
  14. Hi guys It's back up again on ebay, and he still hasn't mentioned its a cat c, and it's not like he doesn't know
  15. You can do a hpi check or go onto Autotrader, go to sell my vehicle, put in the reg and mileage etc, and it will tell you if its a cat c or n etc
  16. Hi guys There's a nice lpg converted ls430 for sale on ebay, thing is, it's a cat c, seller hasn't mentioned it, he knows it's a cat c as the previous owner said so in his ad, but this new seller is trying to make out he didn't know, but besides that, it does look nice, nice colour too, he's removed the ad because i told him it's a cat c, he did the same when he advertised it on Facebook marketplace https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/402983957797
  17. You got robbed if you bought it. I remember I had a toyota celsior ls400, alternator went on it, I bought a second hand one from breakers yard, had it reconditioned, and then fitted, cost me total of £100
  18. £1000 for alternator? I've got to ask the same question, where do you get your parts from? Rockauto is the place to go, or buy a second hand one for around £60, and spend another £40 or so and get it reconditioned before fitting it
  19. Usually, its the battery light that stays on, that would indicate alternator problem
  20. How much did you want for it? I have a mk4, but I also like shape of the mk1 2 and 3
