I have a jump starter kit similar to this one: Jump Starter - Maplin and whenever my car had trouble starting i would be able to jump start it with the kit. Tried it last night and it didnt make a difference. I really think that the battery is dead as i have had a few problems starting my car every so often. How does this work? Do you just plug it into one of the cigarette lighters in the rear or does it have to be the main cigarette lighter under the main touch screen.

Cool fingers crossed then, ill keep you informed! Hope Toyota are open tomorrow.

Hi all, hope you had a brilliant Christmas. I have had a bit of a nightmare day today, I haven't used my car for a few weeks since all the ice and snow and i needed to pop to the shops today. I opened the car and when i got in i noticed the interior lights were not as bright as usual, i then plugged my key in and the steering wheel did not come down to greet me. The car didnt start and it only clicked a few times. I have a battery jumper/charger kit but when i connected it didnt make any difference it still didnt start. The dashboard lights did come on but very dim. The central locking also didnt work, it only locks the front doors and the rear doors are left unlocked even when using the key to lock and unlock the car. Is this just a battery problem or is it something worse? Can i just pop to a Toyota dealer and buy a new battery and plug it in? Will i have to reprogram anything? Thanks for any help!

Well i did a longer motorway stint and i managed to get 175miles from my 42l fill up. I still only managed to fill 42l up from an empty tank. I rang my LPG guy to ask about the larger 84l tanks and he said that he had never heard of one that size that could fit in the spare wheel well of my lexus. He wanted to know what the tank model/make was and he can look into maybe changing it for me. Did you have to do any cutting or shaping to get the tank to fit?

Ahh thanks for that, i was worried that i wasnt filling up properly. I am a bit gutted as 60l would of been perfect as i could do approx 200miles on that.

I just had mine done and quick question i got a 69l tank fitted but ive filled up 3 times. First when it was on 1 green light and i got 46.82l in. I then ran it till it beeped liked crazy and switched to petrol so i guess the tank was empty. Went to fill up and only managed to put in 41.76l. I thought i had done something wrong so i drove another 27 miles and filled it up and only managed to put in 8l. I was told that my tank can fill upto 61l but I dont seem to be able to fill it that much.

Hi im looking to get some tips for my ls but i can only seem to find the ebay ones and i dont really trust the quality of the products. Anyone know where i could get some? Thanks

Should easily get £2k for it, i bought mine in Nov last year for £3k.

Sorry for the late reply guys was super busy at work. Went today and the guy i dealt with was really helpful. The bonnet struts had unfortunately already been sold, he did it for £30 for the pair. I was gutted! The car is pretty much taken apart now and i managed to salvage a few bits of trim for my car but not much else. He is based in Gillingham link to the auction: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...amp;mfe=sidebar

I found a breakers yard with a Mk4 LS400 breaking and i need a few bits of trim but was wondering is there any parts i should get while im there that are common problem parts to get hold of. I was thinking maybe the bonnet struts? Also how does it work do i ask for the parts and they take them out for me or am i expected to get the off the car? Can you do a deal or are the prices fixed? Any help would be great for a novice.

Saw a silver 59 plate ISf at Lexus Woodford, it was stunning!!!

Phoned up to enquire and they said that the flash lube kit isnt needed but if i wanted it the manual kit is £55 and the Electronic is £200. I didnt go for it. I did ask lexus when i had my car in for its MOT about disconnecting the battery and whether i would need a radio code and they said that the DONT recommend a LPG conversion. I just smiled and said thanks! ;)

In case you might have missed it there is a Ls400 Mk4 LPG converted on Autotrader. Think its over priced at 5k but it does have black with black trim which i would of preferred on mine. Not sure about the service history but thought i would point it out.

I bought mine last Nov with 111K on the clock, since then ive done 13k. Its an amazing car and the spec on it amazes me for the money. Love the look of the car and still looks modern even though its 11 years old. I had the cambelt changed, alternator belt done and recently had the wheel bearing replaced so fingers crossed it will now pass its mot on wedsnesday. I managed to find a nice set of Lexus alloys on Ebay as that is a common problem with flaking of the alloys. Its cost me a fair whack in the last few months but hopefully it will be easy miles from now on and plus with the LPG conversion im hoping the price of petrol increases!!! ;)

They are based in Knebworth in Hertfordshire. Im not sure if they are installing a flash lube kit but i will ask. This is the 3rd ls they have converted so they know the car well.
