    I second the angle grinder suggestion. I did mine a few months ago and getting them off without an angle grinder would've been a nightmare.

    Hi Steve, what's the verdict? if you don't have a full set, do you remember where you got them from? thanks

    Thanks Steve, I'd be really interested in a kit.

    I haven't experienced any issues but it's more about precautionary measures. I'm going to take some pictures of my ECU opened up and post here so we can all see what it looks like after 21 years.

    This is great information. Do you remember how long they took to complete the task?

    I've been reading some of the old posts both on this site and the US site about ECU capacitor replacement. My LS is a 1998 and probably as preventive measures I should get the capacitors replaced. My 2 questions are: 1. Where can I source the 11 capacitors that are required for a mark 4 - of good quality. 2. Who is the 'go-to' person in the UK for removing the old capacitors and replacing with new ones? Any assistance would be much appreciated. thanks

    JUst hold out for a better one. You are probably too far away from me but I'm looking to sell mine. 120k miles but zero advisories.

    I think that's a good call. 3k isn't that much really so I can just leave it parked up and covered. If I sold it for 3k I pretty much know I wouldnt be able to buy one back in that condition at that price!

    Thanks all for the feedback. I don't think I've convinced myself I want to sell it yet! Recently mot'd and not even an advisory which is incredibly for a car this age. I may just keep it as a second car. Use it for long journeys.

    If you can can do the work yourself then buying from Toyota means you can have the best parts with zero labour costs. similarly, if you do the work yourself you can buy cheaper parts and see how you get on. If they fail you can try an alternatives since the labour is 'free' and you'll still be well below Toyota prices. If within the warranty period you can get a free replacement and put that on. Well worth doing the work yourself or having a mate who would do it for you.

    I think £3k is reasonable but still a bargain compared to some of the cars I've seen out there for the same price.

    Yeah I watch that programme. I never considered an auction, might look into it. Its so well maintained that I'd rather it goes to someone who will continue to look after it and not use as a run around.

    The time has come to let 'Larry' go...and im wondering how much he's worth/I should advertise him for. For those who don't know Larry, he's an LS400 1998 S reg with 122k miles. Full service history and the cambelt has been changed. The car is immaculate and drives superb. See pics. why am I selling? Now I'm travelling into central London I need something cheap and ulez compliant. I'm trying to find a cheap lock up to store it in but no luck so far. Any price indicator wouldn't help, thanks

    My LS400 will be up for sale at the end of the month or early next month if anyone's interested.

    Now things are getting interesting...

  18. Mo-
    Yes it would.

    It was very easy. It's such a small area that it's difficult to get it wrong. The wrap was off ebay and there's enough provided to get it wrong a few times!!

    I'm gonna watch this thread closely...it sounds interesting

    Fed up with the look of my pitted windscreen trim, I decided to wrap it. Before and after pictures attached. Well pleased and only cost £3.89.

    It doesn't take too long, maybe an hour. It all depends on how the paint work is to start with. When you clay you know your done on a particular panel when it gets really slippery.

    I'm quite ocd with my cars and always do a deep clean once a year. This begins first with a snow foam wash and scrub, followed by clay barring, then a polish and then wax. After this my cars are silky smooth to touch and all I get in the rain is beading. The car stays cleaner for longer and is always easier to clean. My LS400 received compliments on its paint work from my from visits to both a Lexus dealer and a body shop. Would recommend all cars owners to do this once to their cars and definitely notice the difference.

    The prelude would be for the crazy vtec engine and 4 wheel steering.
  25. Mo-
    Thanks all. It's done around 120k miles. It's very clean both inside and outside. I will be doing a full interior valet to clean and protect the leathers so will be good for another 20 years!!
