Just had an extra 1k added to its price...

I don't know what the handheld unit is in the drivers footwear? Like a cb radio/hostage negotiator loudspeaker setup?

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202301042938835?atmobcid=soc3 Japanese batmobile anyone?

Hand painted bumpers, and spent its entire life in East anglia but now being sold in the Midlands. Do they have the v5?

HI does a 2006 Gs450h need headlights converters?

Hi My car needs new rear discs and an offside rear caliper. Lexus prices are £145 for the caliper (re conditioned) and £130 for the discs Pagid come in at £105 for the caliper, £100 go the discs. Does anyone have experience of those?

hi andy, just a google image I'm afraid. i have a mark 3, but also some mk2 wheels (which came with the car but don't fit the front due to calliper sizing)

Hi andy whats he part number on the inside of the cap? I have one I think

I had one in that colour, beautiful when polished

multiple insurance companies have told me that being hit, increases your chances (statistically) of going on to have an accident. having said that, I then don't understand why the third party at fault in the first incident, should therefore not be liable for any future accidents in which I'm in!?

The beck arnley UCAs and lower ball joints are very cheap on rock auto but all say oem quality? Does anyone have experience of them? I could get fronts sets of both for £225

Steve do you have a link within the site? I can't find them at all Rock auto seem to have loads but I don't see oem on anything

i think the url is http://www.southwalesprops.co.uk/index.html, but they don't seem to have any LS400 parts?

Hi Steve Thanks for that. Not sure on the anti roller, i honestly wouldn't know one if it was clearly marked up and hit me in the face. re: springs, yes, I just know after doing the one, i'll have run out of energy and desire to do both. i swapped one out after buying a pair on the mk3. never got to the other one...

Hi All Does anyone have ideas around costs for the following failures, specifically the top bunch. Do they need the parts or can i get bushes for some of these? Offside Front suspension has excessive play in a lower suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a) UPDATED £120 a pair plus fitting Nearside Front suspension has excessive play in a upper suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a) Offside Front suspension has excessive play in a upper suspension ball joint (2.5.B.1a) Offside Rear Upper Anti-roll bar has excessive play in a ball joint (2.4.G.2) Nearside Front Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases pip/cat (7.1.2) this is by the CAT, and the bolts (?) near it are rusted - ideally it would go to power flow for a fix, but i'm assuming this is the weak spot, that other members have also experienced, and fixed at power flow (circa £200) Nearside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1) £80 for a reasonable one Offside Front Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (4.1.E.1) £80 for a reasonable one Offside Front coil spring broken (2.4.C.1a) £60-80 per spring (kilen would try to replace myself) Nearside Rear coil spring modified and seriously weakened (2.4.A.2) (as above, also would try to fix myself) Nearside Rear Upper Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c) hours labour plus cheap part? Offside Rear Upper Brake pipe excessively corroded (3.6.B.2c) hours labour plus cheap part?

I, not too much, just bumper, but £100 a day car hire, and four days of body shop, it won't be cheap for the insurance. And being hit whilst stationary, it pushed my premium up by £92. Good old insurance.

Yes sadly, I'm now in a 17 plate cls350d. Awful car. Better than mine I know, but it's a well styled tractor. Roll on Friday when I'll get mine back. i did give it a quick clean a couple of weeks back, to be honest I think a lot of the coating has gone however.

i have the mk3 also, i actually prefer it. the mk4 is an improved car, no doubt, perhaps its because the mk3 was the first one i have. I'll send you some photos, it needs a good clean Stuart, not that i know of. The seals are noticeably flatter than my MK3 (which doesn't leak). Theres an article on the replacement parts on here somewhere, I just can't find it ! Denis, you'll see it didn't get an advisory on the bonnet struts, I don't think it is a fail, however out of courtesy it might be worth letting the examiner know if only for the sake of their head!

you can have my r plate for £700. does need tyres, bonnet struts, seal on the boot, and has the blow on the exhaust. 2 previous owners, 144k but currently sorn

i can't resist using that stealth to put a bit of power down, up to the speed limit in the area of course. this is without power mode, i have avons, probably around 36 but I'd have to check, might be 34...

yes, for no apparent reason, and sometimes doesn't. it's very odd. I'd get one, but not for the fuel economy... if you look at the gs and the rx the max we can get is 40, the rx goes up to 60mpg...

Hi All I thought I'd write my own thoughts around the car, having bought it around the middle of last year. The drop down, windows in, parking sensors, etc. Gets in the way of my knees, personally it would have been nice to locate it elsewhere, but it could be a space issue. Would also be good if the wing mirrors opened automatically at say 10mph? traction is very poor (i may drive too fast?) and handling is average, compared to the german counterparts. I have what I believe is a "common", if thats the right word for any fault with a lexus...problem with a door lock. basically it slips, so won't open (the car tries to open itself a few times, so you know just from listening if it's slipped. I need a new one, it's around £120 i think for the part, plus labour. I have a tear in the drivers seat (back not side bolster) - could quite easily be user error i think the seal in the sunroof has seen better days, and the rear door seals stick a little (nothing me pulling my finger out and lubricating won't fix) the boot confuses me, sometimes it opens sometimes it doesn't (thats separate from the sneaky button in the glovebox that locks it when all you're really looking for is a cd) Its fast. No one seems to know how fast, and it's under appreciated in that respect. Its comfortable, reliable (I do have a knock, but so far no one has been able to identify what it is), and nicely equipped, especially considering its an 11 year old car.

My policy expired tomorrow. This morning someone runs into the back of me (i am stationery behind another stationery vehicle) my premium renewal price, even though I explain i will not be claiming on my own policy but that of the responsible party, goes up from £518 to £602. what a joy! obviously i will look to claim that back, but it just feeds my theory of it all being a massive con...

Hi Mike, apologies, Ive not been on the forums too much at the minute due to some personal issues. i've not washed it yet, now the weather is getting better I may do this weekend. luckily today some ran into the back of me (whilst i was stationery), so I'll need to wash off some of the muck to view the damage.

this must only be a couple of miles from me. having the dhp wheels, and an odd size tyre thats going to be a £cost to factor in.
