Cassette player in my LS is spot on. Flac, memory cards, MP3? Analogue ftw
-
Got the new PAS pump fitted Saturday. Much better and I'm now just keeping an eye out for leaks. Also managed to get the freshly gold plated and lacquered badges and emblems on. Looks pretty good even though I say so myself As previously mentioned, the grille emblem and hubcap badges were quite tarnished to start with so the results aren't quite as good. Still very happy with them though. Should tackle this too I suppose.

Would you get the VSC/TRC and orange light for O2 sensors or cat efficiency? When the cats were on the way out on my MK2 GS300 I just got the orange light. And that went out on its own after a few ignition cycles.

Cheers Q. Much appreciated.

Who's got or ordered a Convertible

I'll respond Kevin, I can't wait for the pictures! -
Anti-freeze

Doesn't really make any odds. Whether it's Long Life or Super Long Life they'll still mix but I believe the (older?) Long Life Red is only available as a concentrate. -
Fancy!
-
Actually, not sure if the MK4 is the same unit or shape so better limit this question to MK3s.
-
Would anyone happen to know if all MK3 and MK4 LS 400 came with auto dimming side mirrors? I need new glass for my o/s and there's one or two available but I want to buy the correct one.

Agreed. Proper stuff is the Lexus pink pre-mixed coolant P/N 08889-80072 or there is a concentrated red version. https://www.lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/parts/lexus-lc/lexus-lc-2016-present/lexus-lc-engine-service-kits/lexus-super-long-life-pink-coolant-5l/ How much to add very much depends on what's in already, whether it's been topped up with water etc etc -
Never actually saw it in the flesh but it looked nice enough on the photos. It belonged to a friend.

Lacquered and ready to go on once they're dry...
-
Unfortunately not. Hence my comments in your thread.
-
Please do.
-
Nice colour. Not limited to this seller but I am extremely wary of all the vehicles for sale at the moment that haven't had MOTs since the middle of 2019 due to the April on deferment.
-
I was using the airbag ECU as an example. The ECU and loom were Soarer specific and in fact specific to that particular model. Amayama did list one but it was £1000+ I was just adding to Steve's comment above about maintenance and spending. I don't want to discourage you, I'd love to see a Soarer on here. And if the prospect of running an older import doesn't put you off then go for it
-
That though they may share many parts with other more widely available Toyota and Lexus, some model specific parts are simply not available. Cam belt, water pump and bodywork may be an easy fix but I was very close to getting a Soarer earlier this year and due to a faulty airbag ECU the car couldn't pass an MOT and was therefore only worth the scrap value. All that said, if you do get one I'd love to see it. Cam belt and water pump cost would be around the £400 mark I assume.
-
Oh hello... Grille badge didn't come out too well because it was already so tarnished so I've ordered another silver one. Also having the ones on the hubcaps done.
-
Scary stuff. But glad you're OK.
-
Missed this. I had exactly the same on my 400h and used black silicone sealant exactly where you did plus the area where the support strut meets the body and the roof rail feet.
-
And as I have discovered, due to the models age and import rarity there are parts that are simply unavailable and turn a beautiful looking coupe into a piece of scrap.

Not sure if you're aware Linas but Greer is a serial Dudley Dealer apologist.

You eat in the car?

Check Amayama too. They have part number catalogues too. Or ask your Lexus parts dept for the part number and then put it into Amayama or the key site I linked too.

That's rather nice. And I'm coveting your part wood gear lever!
