Just noticed it said air suspension working fine so might be a different car. -
The 05 ls430 is fine with E10. I can't even say I've noticed it doing less to the gallon. Personally I'd never consider fuel consumption as a reason not to own one. LPG is definitely a bonus though if it's running ok and has been properly serviced. If it had less mileage and even without LPG I think I would have given it some thinking time.

Think he had this on ebay a few weeks back. Could be on coilovers and probably 211, 000 miles not km. I dont think he's telling the whole story either. - looks smart doesn't it.

How weird is that? Yesterday I sold my 2000 ls430 with 144300 miles on the clock and I'd had that for six and a half years. Not a bad result with that really, it means it only cost me £1000 for the whole time I've owned it! Very happy to say I've still got the "55" plate ls430 though.

How did you do that? There's only one lock and it's on the drivers door. Is this an Ls430? -

Sold my 18's on ebay for £50. I just wanted the space back. Had 1791 views on the car, 36 watchers, a few offers made - no sale...I'm just putting a drivers door on there now, see if I can make some more spa e in the garage.🙄 -

If its a 430 just use the key blade in the drivers doorlock. If it has a cap on it just prise it off -
Ever sold on ebay? Really annoying when you are trying to sell something, have had nearly 1100 views and 32 watchers and it's a buy it now item! What is the point? 🙄

Replaced my 2000 plate with a Bosche s4 026 today. Same battery as my 2005 ls430.

Perhaps it's a way the government can rid the roads of all petrol and diesel vehicles in favour of electric. A stealthy way of making it impossible for the d.i.y mechanic to work on and too expensive to take to main dealers and that's if they will still work on them.If prices of new electric cars stay high that will also reduce traffic on the road beacause many people will not be able to afford a new electric car. Lets face it when my car was registered in 2005 I certainly wouldn't have been able to pay £55,000 for it but 15 years down the line and sub £3000 for a superbly reliable luxurious car is easily feasible.

I dont know if Paul at lexussparesdirect deals with ls400's as well as 430's but you could try him

Yes they're 18"s and feel no different at all
-
Thanks. Yes they came with spacers and a full set of wheelnuts. Funny thing is the guy ordered them from Germany and on the day of fitting they didn't fit, they were hampered by the caliper. Obviously didn't get the offset right. Anyway a week later the correct ones turned up and all was ok. Your wheels look beaut! As you say a nice set of wheels can make such a difference.
-
Ha ha, In fact I've been quite a fan of wish. I bought these 4 puddle lights
-
I also bought these on wish as well. Very comfortable and tucks nicely into my neck. They do them in black as well
-
I got them on "wish". I don't know if you've heard of it. They are a chinese company. If you look on the site there'll be several selling at different prices. The only thing is the word Lexus only faces one way.

The wheels on my car were in desperate need of refurbishment and one leaked air so I looked into getting them done. I was looking at £500-£600 and although it would have kept it standard I opted, for around the same price to buy these instead, keeping as close as I could to the original style. I'm quite pleased with how they look and feel they make the car look a little more modern.
-
I know about the chip catcher between the seat and console but I bought these as well.

I thought my backup camera had failed as it was flickering and couldn't see an image. This evening I realised that although it still flickers there is a ghost image or a "negative" image. Weird!! I don't know if it is failing or there's some sort of setting for the camera. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Excuse me if someones already said this but I've looked at this without the benefit of my glasses. I understand that overtightening the wheel nuts can distort the discs....that's it, that's my penarth...good luck. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Funny you should say that I've got some satin black spray in the garage [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Ok, I've got busy with the copper pipe and stuff and thankfully - no more leaks. Thanks for all the very helpful information you gave I've not only save money doing the repair myself but it would have meant I'd have had to hire a car for the next couple of days as I have a 500 mile round trip starting tomorrow! It's not pretty but if it continues to hold I'm a happy bunny. [emoji106][emoji2936][emoji2935] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
