Being an elderly driver,I have no time for such nonsense,and pricy nonsense at that. Seems like a costly ‘solution’ to a non-existent problem. Do tyres really lose pressure enough to need a sensor?

Cheap ls600
Chris Skelton replied to Chasdad's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h Club
Can the Air shocks be changed to ‘ordinary’ springs/shocks? And,if this hasn’t already been suggested - try breakers for a seat? Even a non heated seat would do,surely. -
Yes,there IS a place that PROPERLY sets up -not only the wheels -but the whole car. BUT I can’t immediately recall the name. Ithink it was in St Albans…….. if it springs to mind, I’ll be back. There are a few proper places but a lot of duffers.

Having just looked up insurance for an 09 LS600h (import) I salute you on your bravery - or deep pockets? Enjoy the luxury.

That was Series 1, the post 85 Series 2 were much better. The one pictured has some serious. Upgrades, including ignition and ventilation. Featured in “Retro-rides’. I sold mine 10ish years ago, regret it. Rare Auto-turbo (they never made a turbo auto….)

A Citroen CX body with a Lexus under it

Hope it’s ‘catching’, as I’ll be due an MOT in October!

460 tax is high! Whereas the 600 h is lower.

LC500?

Can’t open the link.

I had the timing belt changed too! They still owe me……. I doubt whether they’ve done anything, but have no knowledge. it WAS lovely ‘above the waterline’ maybe a generous splashing of Lanoguard all over would fix? Back to LS series 4 for me; a bit bigger than I’d anticipated, but hopefully smooth and comfortable-and trouble free? Coming this w/end,hopefully. see Dutchie comment above!

1986 Spartan 2 Nissan 300 in Cars and classic, to occupy you;something you need a lottery win to get. will be in touch asap chris in Bristol

Well,it turned out that the Camry wasn’t as good as it appeared! After my local mechanic came out from under it asking’. ‘’Did you buy this from a dealer? You know you can take it back within 30 days?’’ it’s crusty!! so I did. it’s a puzzle just how it went through several MOTs with NO mention of corrosion! The rest of the car (above the ‘waterline’) was in great condition. currently considering a Honda CR-Z.>…..maybe a hybrid Lex for ‘best’.

Is Amayama getting expensive?
Chris Skelton replied to steve2006's topic in Lexus General Discussions
Useful info here - thanks. Having just acquired a 98 Camry I’m sure I’ll need to locate parts at some point and info here helps.

Both! Had had Messi’s LS400 hovering in my brain though, but thought I’d go for a slightly (!) smaller car. Has a road-induced rattle I need to investigate, but otherwise, lovely. I expect to have to do bushes etc., but the overall condition is great. it WAS a bit of serendipity; I wondered if I’d find a Camry in UK, looked on Autotrader and …..got instantly in touch, staking my claim, so to speak .

if you have 20 minutes...... now venturing into #your business is important/we are experiencing busy......i.e looking for insurance!

Just taken possession of an immaculate 3 litre Camry, 1998, so my thoughts of coming back to another LS 400 are void- hope I’m not tempting fare here. 69K miles, amazing paint ceramic coating -apparently - plus (messi rated?) Lano sealed underneath. All I have to do is get reacquainted with the size again! It purrs, said deliverer! I’ll still be popping up on here, I’m sure. Steve2000 has a link to a YouTube vid (as I’m too Luddite to know how to post it now.)

Ejector seat. it should have DO NOT PRESS in big red letters.

Do you ‘have to’ have them, legally,or is it that they’re interconnected to the computer in the car,to driving detriment?
-
I recently saw a car advertised…was it a Lexus?…where the seller had had the sunroof sealed.As my partner isn’t a fan of ‘wind in her hair’, this would suit me. Anyone share this approach? Would seem to solve one source of water.
-
Something to be said for the KISS approach? Seems like overkill, to have to have £300 worth (‘worth’?) of gizmos just to tell you tyres -which are meant to stay inflated,need attention. Surely easier to check manually every so often?

Inner tie rod

Can you not (use string?) measure the existing ones? Then compare with the other side. -
A bit tenuous maybe, but, when I had a Citroen DS23, parked in supermarket-on-corner car park, I came out to find ALL the cars had been stabbed with 2 tyres each car,flat Luckily I’d broken a DS earlier and had 5 spare wheels. Changing tyres on a DS is a breeze-you utilise the hydro-pneumatic system, up,down, up and…..done! ……broken a DS! Sacrilege!!
