Hi I've been caravanning up in North runcton near kings lynn last week and crossed the path of a silver ls430 up there, I flashed my lights in case it might have been someone on here. First ls430 I've seen since I bought mine in January.

Bugger! Oh well thanks for the reply, at least I know now.

Can someone tell me how to input a postcode on a 2000 ls430 sat nav as I can't figure it out. All I seem to get up on screen is road or town and is a real pain as I'm on holiday at the moment. Thanks

When I bought my lexus it was already fitted with a removable towbar so I only need to click it in when I tow. Keeps the rear end tidy all other times.

that's better i was hoping nobody saw the upside down picture i put up first

Some people may think when they see me going on holiday that I'm towing an extra portable fuel tank disguised as a caravan. My caravan is only about 15" longer than my car.

Some people when they see me going on holiday think I'm just towing an extra fuel tank disguised as a caravan. Actually my caravan is only 15 " longer than my car!

Ditto. Is your car a premium pack or standard? I have also seen on here that some Irish ls430's have no sunroof. Maybe that is the reason that your's does not have this button?

I rang a local american parts shop for a wheel bearing for my 1955 cadillac coupe de ville and I got... "front or rear?" "rear" I said, yeah they're on the shelf. 1 hour later and it was on the car.

I haven't got anything constructive to add, just a question. What is this "special tool" you use to read the codes with, and how is it done? thanks.

Great job! Seen that sort of thing on merc's. looks really good on a lighter coloured car but probably wouldn't look good on mine as it's canterbury blue, plus it's got a sunroof.

Looks really good. 1400 euros, I'll bare that in mind . Thanks.

I am happy to hear this Tarun. Have you considered a wrap for the car? mine turned out great. William Hi . I have seen a car wrapped before but am interested to know what the cost for a whole car wrap would be, especially for a car the size of the ls430

Too true. Since i bought my 430 I've had to put some air in one of the tyres, and I thought they were supposed to be reliable. 😅

Looks really nice. Before I bought mine I also saw a red one on ebay with lpg fitted. It was the same price that mine was advertised for. Unfortunately, my wife doesn't like red, So that was that.

No less than when the ex prime minister gave his support to the weatherfield one. Deidre Barlow or whatever name she was under at that time, and coronation street is just a bloody soap.

676000 and counting. I bet ITV are rubbing their hands in anticipation! 300,000,000 people ready to hit the channel 3 button. What are the BBC to do?

676000 and counting. If he goes ITV will snap him up so what are the BBC to do? 300,000,000 viewers of the program switch to ITV?

Get rid of football I say. 22 blokes chasing a bag of wind.....waits for the explosion. 😂

He should stay. Not only that they should sack the producer and make him the new producer as well. I hate all the PC bulls hit we are being fed nowadays. If you don't like the programme, don't watch it. I would say do what they do with footballers, fine them, hit their pockets and that's that. They don't suspend a football match just because a player gets suspended do they.

Damn, I've had my 2000 ls430 about a month now and love it, but I would have bought yours if I seen it first. And to make things worse both of my brother's live in southern Ireland so I could have made it a visit/purchase weekend.

Ok back to the mpg. I filled the tank (£86) when it came up "low fuel" and it turns out that my 430 is returning 16 mpg around town as they say. So this lasted about 3 weeks and it's costing just under £30 per week. Considering I was puting £25 per week in my last car I'd say it's more than worth the extra £5 a week so all is well with the world 👍😊

wheeler dealers is one of my most watched programmes. The first time I saw the ls400 episode I fell in love with the car. would have bought a bronze w reg one a few years back which was mint. I've watched the same episode several times and will probably get a box set.

I've just looked at the prices for the irish road tax and it's astronomic. I entered the engine size as 4.3 litre and got this..... Road Tax Currently in Ireland there are 2 systems under which road tax is calculated for passenger cars and this is always a source of confusion, hopefully the following with explain the system to you. All cars older than 2008 have their road tax calculated based on the cars engine cc's. All cars that are 2008 or newer have their road tax calculated based on the cars CO2 emissions. The above is true in 99% of cases. The CO2 based system came into force in July 2008 meaning new cars registered between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 initially had their motor tax charged on the basis of the existing engine size (c.c.) system. However, a low CO2 emitting new car registered between 1 January 2008 and 30 June 2008 had its motor tax switched to the lower CO2 based motor tax rate on first renewal of motor tax post 1 July 2008, when the new CO2 based system commenced. New cars which were registered in the first 6 months of 2008 whose tax would be more under the new CO2 based system continue to pay motortax on the basis of engine size.
