Couple of times my 2004 LS430's revs have dropped when slowing down, way below 1 and on the brink of stalling, when I apply the throttle, the gear engages with a "thump", - this has only happened a couple of times, - it was very warm weather at the time, although this may be unrelated. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas of what might be the issue? Many thanks

Cheers. I went for the Primacy 4s in the end... I couldnt tell you the difference from the 3's. Happy with them

I've currently got Michelin Primacy 3s, which I've been very happy with, - I need some new fronts, so just thought I'd run it past the community for your thoughts? https://www.blackcircles.com/tyres/245-45-18?manufacturer=michelin Maybe go for Primacy 4s? Or...?

Good question OP. My wheels were already refurbed when i brought the car, - I do have an original wheel in the boot and you can see the difference.. the original is somewhat 'smoked', - I'd like to get them back to original spec, - my plan is to just ask them to match the spare...

You Star. Looks perfect, - it's my front ones which have disentegrated 😉 Many thanks and hope everyone is well

Well, the rubber glue that I used has worn off so I'm going to buy some speaker surrounds, - can anyone recommend a place that sells these kits, - I can only see USA sources via ebay? Many thanks

ECP still got a big st patricks day discount on today... I've just ordered some densos!!!

One of my main front headlamps, the dipped beam sometimes is not switching on... if I turn off the lights and on again it comes on... - very annoying to have to check that my lights are on when I head off (if I cannot see it in a reflection somewhere!) and sometimes it turns off mid-drive. I told the garage about this a while ago and they couldnt recplicate the issues, - I originally thought it might be a worn battery issue, but I have recently had a new one, and the issue remains? Any ideas at all? Many thanks 🙂

Yes, I have the rear electric blind... The only other things I dont appear to have are the reclining rear seats, massage seats and radar cruise...

Cheers Phil - I reckon it could be an entire door card maybe.... - thanks for looking 🙂

Ah great - thanks for taking a look - appreciated 🙂

My LS430 does not have side rear sunshades. I wouldn't mind added them. Does anyone happen to know how difficult this would be? And what I would need, please? Many thanks

Really appreciate the info and recommend contact, - thank you. I have asked the garage to take out the amp for me, - they said it's a bit of a job to get it out... Actually while you're here, (thinking as I type) - my side speakers have started to blow. I used rubber glue on the subwoofer and it fixed that a treat. I did the same on my door speakers, but unfortunately it hasn't lasted... I could try again I guess, however I am wondering whether to just buy different/better door speakers? Penny for your thoughts 🙂

Wishing you all a very happy 2020!! I have no sounds in my Lexus. Local garage has told me that the amplifier has stopped working. What's my best bet - buy a second hand replacement amp? Just also wanted to check that they are not missing anything, - like a seperate amp fuse somewhere? Many thanks 🙂

Conversation with a garage owner recently; he believes that the prices of (original) LS430s will start to shoot up. Has anyone noticed that are getting rarer over the last, say 5 years, or not really?
