  1. Hmm it says it should fit but not guaranteed! I'll have a look again and compare. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  2. I guess if the Century bushes are wider they are compressed as they are inserted making them firmer? This is them right? https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/4867440051 I might see if I can replace the whole arm. Has anyody got the part numbers for the lower arms as a whole? Sorry, this is the lower arm bush I was talking about: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/4865450010 The ARB bushes are nice and cheap then! I have a cracking upon the weight of the car shifting at low speed and when turning in to junctions which is the UCA according to Lexus then also a different noise over speed bumps a groaning sound which I think could be the other bushes. So I definitely need to get some renewing sorted! Thanks for the advice I can pass that onto my garage when I get the parts delivered and fitted. I am going to try and order the original UCA's and hope that Amayama can supply. Appreciate your help and advice! 🙂
  3. Rockauto only have aftermarket for the 1993 also but they are much cheaper I just haven't heard of the brands! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  4. Hi, Thanks for this post! Would you mind posting the part numbers for the all the bits replaced? I have some creaking and cracking in the front suspension and want to replace all the perishable items. I've got genuine drop links ready to fit. The front strut cushions 48674-40051 you mentioned and the lower arm bushes 48654-50010 in my basket on Amayama. I'm also going to replace the upper control arms with Blue Print parts as it doesn't look like Amayama can supply these anymore. I've got the mounting insulator on order also as I've heard replacing it makes a difference but not suspension related I know 12371-50010. What I'm missing is the ARB bushes. Anything else to give the suspension an overhaul? Thanks. Alexander. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  5. Oh gosh. One there is bang on my problem. Is there anybody in the UK that repairs these? Anybody had one done? Ta! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  6. Tried a new MAF from Canada on eBay and it just caused engine light to come on and hunting revs even after resetting the ECU. Trying one from China next and also having the old one tested with a multi meter. Can't believe if this is the issue how difficult it is to put right. If it isn't the MAF then I'm worried about what it could be. Have also changed the fuel filter and fuel pump was mentioned but the garage didn't have the equipment to be able to test the pressure. Argh! Has anybody else had these sort of issues? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  7. Not sure what kind of bolts are supposed to be here!? [emoji848] Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  8. Thank you Rupert. Yes and underneath the headlights the corner brackets weren't right. One was just lose and sat there and the other missing altogether! If anybody can provide an image of them, that would be great! Have a good weekend all. Alexander.. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  9. Thank you. I'm not impressed and they're very apologetic but hey just to the job right first time. That's what you're paid for eh? I want it perfect and won't settle for less. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  10. It looks much neater on the later models but they don't have screws all along like the early models seem to need. I hope it is just fitted the wrong way around. They also left out the brackets on the bumper corners under the headlights so I have to inspect that when it comes back. Sigh. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  11. We're talking a 1993 LS here. There are holes in the bumper itself. Like in the 2 examples. Maybe they changed the design later? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  12. No holes at all! What year is this? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  13. Thank you guys! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  14. I would love to take you up on this offer for some beer tokens Steve! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  15. Ordered!! Well spotted thanks. Alexander. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  16. Car is back from the bodyshop and sadly there are issues to work through. I'm pretty sure this bracket on the bumper top has been put back on wrong as there seems to be screws missing and it doesn't line up to every hole. Can anybody do a comparison for me? It'd be appreciated! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  17. Thanks for this! [emoji3] Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  18. I think it was just recommended for the tyre rather than the vehicle and not sure how much lower it's possible to go or even higher! Don't want odd tyre wear on brand new tyres, that's for sure. It still rides great on them which is good! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  19. Hi, I've just had a set of 18s fitted to my LS400. What tyre pressures are you running? As not being a standard side it won't be published anywhere. The wheel company said, start at 34psi which is pretty vague? Thanks! Alex. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  20. Thank you! I have emailed him. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  21. Work in progress! Thank goodness it's been saved. [emoji3526] Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  22. I'm going to try the MAF sensor to rule it out. After that it'll have to be a specialist I guess? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  23. Nantwich. Both the AA guy and the two garages said they are pretty bad with getting contaminant issues. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  24. Does anybody know the part number? As I might try Amayama as they have a lot of parts still it seems! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk
  25. I've been having an intermittent issue with my car very recently. I filled up with fuel Morrison's and about an hour later I went to set off from rolling through some lights and put my foot down. Instead of kicking down and launching off as normal the car just stuttered and hit what felt like a rev limiter. It would continually bounce from 2k after this point. Called the AA out and they said mechanically they can't sense anything wring and it's as if there was fuel starvation or something. He recommended taking it for diagnosis. There was no light on the dash and the reading came out as per the image here. This code though had no time stamp and could have been from some time ago before I even had the car? That said my garage said it's probably best to replace the crankshaft position sensor as that would match up to the symptoms. The day I took it to them it didn't have a problem. Two days after the new Denso part was fitted it's back. Only when I first set off and put the car under load right away. It'll hit 2k and bounce back. Then it settles and all is well. Performance seems as usual and it does feel like it's running smoother. I have also put a full tank of premium fuel in the car in case it was just a dodgy tank as turns out Morrison's have a reputation for it. I do normally use premium fuel. Have you guys any ideas what else it could be if it persists? All of a sudden seem to be developing niggly issues which I am determined to iron out! Thanks, Alexander.
