Tried again

A few photo's of Car console on start up and outer panels. Apols if the images are tiny. Can't seem t change. K950 EJB.zip

should have added that there is a reversing camera and a five inch screen inside the Car so good rear vision when stationary.

I’m asking £1000 for the car bearing in mind it Is a bit tatty from Hail dents, rust and lacquer Patch on passenger door and front wing. ENGINE MUST BE WORTH THIS. 160K on the Clock. Cambelt changed at 113k. Non intervention anyway. PM me if you want the Car. Not going to haggle But will add about £300 worth of new spares in Boot. They include new Rad + pipes, L or R Wishbone?, Distributor caps and Rotors plus more. I’ll advertise it elsewhere if no one is interested. I have owned the Car for 14 years and it has done the 600 mile to France umpteen times. Great car needs tidying I can't promise instant reply as I am too ill and need bed rest.

Up to Mk2 the Cars are non interference Engines. Not that I've heard of any later models suffer from Cambelt break but something sends them to the Srappie?

I have a Tow Bar on my Lexus Cabrio. Used it to take rubbish to the Dechetterie in France. Only time.

I'd like to thank you all for your good wishes. I've enjoyed this forum since becoming a Member and its always inspired me to deal with theCar's faults as they arose. Guess I'll know by the end of September if I'll be able to drive again, and if not then perhaps a Member may like the Car for a little over the Scrap price. Lots of new spare electrical parts will be put in the boot. The REar screen is removable and replaceable with glass but can't promise the next MOT will be a success/ Pm me if you'd like to be told its up for sale. Bear in mind its got rusty front wheel arches, Hail dents, and lacquer peels. New correct aerosol paint supplied with parts which include brand new Radiator and pipes.

Thanks Malc. I've just completed a fifth visit to Hospital for Radiotherapy to a Tumour in my bowel which came via my prostate. The procedure takes ten minutes and is painless, the journey on a Stretcher in an Ambulane for nearly two hours each way is very unpleasant, but hey hoI can't sit in a seat without excessive pain. Will know during coming weeks if successful, but meantime side affects are loose bowels and in my case enlarged scrotum and Todger owing the Lymphodemia which system shuts down by R/T treatment. . Can't see me driving again so Car will be sold or scrapped, sadly. MOT until late December .

You may be right Steve, but I see many examples of people spending that sort and way beyond on the air matic on Mercs. My old Jalopy is certainly not a Garage Queen but the reliability of the engine is key to my keeping it on the road. I had the Air-con serviced and regassed last Friday even though I'll likely only drive it 7 miles to Clacton Hospital. A Taxi trip would cost me not much less. The cars condition has deteriorated in my ten years ownership. Rust on wheel arches, lacquer peels and not to mention the Hail dents I haven't managed to get around too. Got the puller and got the coded paint but........I've given the car a bit of character (flashy Dash Panel) and as the MOT is until December I'll keep it until ???? The next owner could replace the rear screen if they can find a glass replacement, without too much trouble. Meantime its holding up very well. If Chateauneuf du pape was in my Garage it would certainly be undrinkable. Wife and I spent a few days in an Artists Garret in a place called Chateuneuf in the Burgundy Region. Wanted to see the Hospice de Beaune as I recall.

Thank you. Its too hot to go into the Garage and get the boxes of stuff. Will need my Son to bring them indoors so I can sort them, or not, depending.

My driving days are coming to a close owing to increased co-morbidities and I will probably be selling my Lexus Cabrio in the not too distant future. I have two GENUINE TOYOTA unused Rear Arm Assmbly Upper Control Arms which have sat in the Garage for eight? year. They are parts number 48770-50010 and 48790-50010 for the Mk 2 1989-1994 LS400. You won't find them anywhere else. Not Rock Auto or Amayama and so if you want to keep your early Lexus on the road, then these are essential in case the MOT fails your car because of them. These cost me just under £600 to purchase and I am selling them for this sum. They came from Amayama but are now "discontinued parts". PM me if you want to buy them. Stuart ps I have lots of other new parts but haven't the time to list them.

Thanks for asking Malc. Sadly I'm not able to use it at present for health reasons which I'll know more about after a Hospital visit Friday. My days of journeying to France or anywhere else seem to have come to an end. I put the battery on charger today as the Car isn't getting any use. The rear screen is holding up well. No leaks and no little sh*ts have targeted it - touch wood.

I watched this in the early hours. What I noticed was that it was purchased from a Showroom Agent called "Coronation" which was a couple of miles away from me at Kirby Cross, Essex. My Offsping used to go past the Showroom by Bus to School in the late eighties and never thought they would one day sit in a Mk 3 Supra which they has seen in the Showroom. I bought it s/h and subsequently sold for a Merc500SEC. When my LS400 was "lost in France" I bought a single owner Corrola which also had "Coronation" above the logo. An ex-salesman noticed it as he went past my house and said not many of these still around. The Showroom closed down in early 2000's and has recently been repurposed as a Tesco. Express.

You may want to give this site a look - yoshiparts.com I have purchased from them.

Got one of the first Jap bikes sat in the garage and must sell this year - a Yamaha 200 Twin electric start. It and others killed off the leaky oil Brit bikes. Had a few Bikes ten years back best being a Honda VFR FJ but too heavy for me. Unable to ride bikes now.
