    Anyone know where I can get the heated seat switch bulb from? It's like a screw on thing, bulb soldered into it with a green sleeve. Thanks

    The one in my car is a lion, but it's gone weak now. Is the correct battery 030 70ah?

    Hi What battery would you guys recommend for a 1999 lexus ls400? Is it best to buy from the dealers? I've sorted out all the advisories on the mot from back in November, and now the battery is weak, I can tell because of the way it struggles to start up first thing in the morning, and few weeks ago was totally flat, but I managed to jump start it, and now from time I get the check vsc come up. Thanks in advance.

    Reset procedure: Put the key into the ignition Turn to the lights, don't start the car Leave it like that for 6 mins Then switch off, and then on and car should start

    I have a Dhp ls400, recently for the mot, I had to replace both front springs as one was broken, it still drove smooth and quiet, I couldn't even tell it was broken until it was mot time, so instead of just replacing one front spring, I think it was best to replace both, I bought kyb springs for £35 each, to be honest I can't tell the difference, it still drives very smooth. I'm abit anal so I got all the work done on the advisories, I was lucky with the rear upper arms, bought them from Paul on here.

    Well the previous owner has mesg me saying, he didn't even know the cambelt was done on it, he also said it doesn't have much history, he's not an old boy as lexuschap makes him out to be, he said the brakes are no good at all, it has alot of rust underneath, and it has a blow coming from the manifold, he said there's other stuff wrong with it, but this guy isn't telling anyone about it.

    He's selling another ls400 on ebay, here is a link to the original ad which was on market place https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/444047853436599/?ref=facebook_story_share Look how much profit lexuschap is making, obviously he got it cheaper than £1400

    Hi Last time I checked, the Y section costs around £300 from the main dealer, but if you go to a specialist, they will charge around £125 to cut the flanges and weld a stainless steel pipe instead

    Hi steve Thanks for the info. Regarding the spring, I have ordered a kyb spring, but I'm not sure how it broke, and the car still drives nice and smooth, no knocking noises either, just really nice and quiet. Ive got to do something about the surface rust underneath, mot guy said its not bad as in very bad, but it's there, but I'm not sure what to use to treat the rust so it doesn't get any worse

    Thanks guys, I thought I'd give it a go this morning, and I did it, it wasn't that difficult, took me about 20 or 30 mins, took the bolts off, tilted the headlight forward and it gave me access to the bulb

    Do I trust halfords to change them without breaking anything? No, that's why I call them halfrauds

    Anyone?

    Update, I found someone who supply the coilspring, kyb £39.99, but if someone can please tell me how to replace the sidelight bulbs, known as parking bulbs, 501 I think they are. Thanks
  21. messi
    Hi guys, So I took my 1999 ls400 for a pre mot test, it turns out the drivers side spring is broken, god knows how as it still drives quiet and smooth and the front sidelight bulbs need replacing, odd about the sidelight bulbs as there was no warning on dash. Anyway, anyone know how to get to these bulbs without taking the headlight off, or anyone in the Midlands or near, willing to replace them for me and where should I get the drivers side front coilspring from? Thanks in advance
