  1. As always I'd recommend Tony Banks in Leeds but again, quite a distance.
  2. Some fairly major parts are either unavailable or eye wateringly expensive. I needed a power steering pump and alternator for my MK3/UCF20 not long after purchase and had to gamble with non-Lexus parts. Turned out OK but with the lack of available body parts it was one of the reasons I decided to stop using mine as a daily and eventually moved it on. The possibility of some idiot pulling out in front of me and my car getting written off was too much of a risk, lovely though it was. That said, everyone should experience an LS400 at least once.
  3. Tbh I've always found them to be very reliable. I'm currently on my 6th and 7th! They're not engineered like the Lexus/Toyota/Honda stuff but they are easy to fix and unfortunately since I had Lexus and Toyota everyone else seems to have caught up and the market's gone a bit daft. Since selling the LS 400 I've had an MR2, BMW E39, an Alfa GTV and now back into Saabs. Very happy with these two so you never know, I might keep them
  4. Oh yes. Sold it November last year. Had one or two vehicles since and now settled on a couple of Saabs.
  5. I've always used https://www.carmats-uk.com/ (not to be confused with any other manufacturers with a similar name). I've probably bought at least half a dozen sets off them. When I had my LS 400 they didn't have that model listed and I popped down to Mansfield and did a made to measure set for the same price as the ones listed on their site. Recommended. Probably more detail somewhere in here

  7. Someone will probably offer it but it's really not worth it on n/a engines. Gains would be minimal to tiny.
  8. It's usually bone dry due to the heat from the engine. On my (I think) GS I just broke it up into bits with a long screwdriver or similar and then used the crevice nozzle of a vac to get it out.

  10. I can't imagine the current owner has caused any damage over such a short period of time but he is using the wrong fuel and I wouldn't want to run that car on E10 long term. V Power is £2.05-£2.10 per litre around here so unless the GS would be an occasional use car I'd think twice too.
  11. I just texted you. I assume you've changed your number?
  12. Should add, the badly placed rear number plate has now been repositioned
