Very interesting to hear your views. I've gone the other way around, that is from an '08 LS460 SE-L to a '95 LS400.... don't ask why, just needing to be a lot more prudent at the moment. And while I certainly wouldn't say the 460 was a bad car, the 400 really doesn't feel much different when your in it. Especially when you consider I paid £38000 for one and the £1400 for the other. I'd say the new car was about the same in terms of noise but the many geared auto box was quite annoying as it was constantly changing gear and not always judging very well which one you were better being in. If i could still afford the 460 would i rather have one??..... of course I would :P . It looked super cool with fantastic presence on the road and I loved all the toys. Auto parking was daft but I miss ventilated seats in the summer and the heated steering wheel in the winter

Personally I think the car looks great as is. There are loads of cars out there struggling to find buyers and yours would at least stand out. Anyway, I would one would be seriously interested in either the car or parts if you decided to go that way. Let me know! :winky:

Spent 10mins yesterday under the LS400 liberally WD40ing every suspension bush and joint I could find. Wow...what a transformation! Not only were all the noises gone but I'd swear the handling and smoothness of ride has improved. Possibly its my imagination but it would seem that this is probably the best 10 mins you can spend improving your LS. Would advise anyone gives it go, noises or not!

Thanks guys. I'll get the WD40 out tomorrow

This lovely weather has lead to me having my window open while driving the last few days. Whilst having the window open I've noticed a noise from under the car when negotiating roundabouts. Difficult to describe the noise but somewhere between a creak and a knock. Also difficult to tell from which corner exactly. What should I looking at guys? Is this an excuse to get some of those lovely coilovers?

Thanks for all tips. Waggling it around and resetting the memory worked..... for about 2 days, now back to normal Nevermind... just one of those little quirks that keeps it interesting

My new wiper blades arrived and just fitted them. Fitting was straight forward apart from on the double armed side I needed to cut some plastic off the clip to fit over the mechanism. They appear to wipe very well and look sleek and modern (no rust or chipped black paint!). Good value I'd say B)

Were they expensive? Do you have a pic with them on the car? Cheers

I saw those ones on ebay, but my fault being vague, i mean the later chunky five spoke ones. Not sure how else to describe them

Bugger... not straight forward then

It was these ones http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320557521271

Would love to make my '95 LS look a little more contemporary with some nicer alloy wheels. The ones from LS430 look great but are like hens teeth to try and find. So a couple of questions really 1) Has anyone come across after aftermarket alloys with the right fitment that look good (and not chavvy) on an LS 2) When scouring ebay etc if I search Lexus LS alloys I'll get very few. After there other brand types (Audi or whatever) that fit?? Last point, if one of my learned colleagues has some they want to part with then do please let me know. Don't mind them being scabby as long as the price is right as I know a very good local refurber. Cheers All

I ordered some of the flat ones of ebay at the weekend for about £7. I wanted to get rid of the existing ones cos they are very tired looking. I'll let you know what they're like when they arrive. I'm hoping they'll be easy to fit.
