    I paid someone to fix a leaking sunroof, they didn't. As we've been shielding (for a long time) it's not been possible to get it fixed so bought a breathable cover from Amazon. Inexpensive with a cotton lining, it does what it says on the tin 🙂

    Tony Banks is excellent but probably too far for you. In any case he does silencers 🙂

    Hope it's not serious walletectomy.....

    So was the EML fixed?
  5. IanA2
    Is this really so, if so I wish I had known that before I was parted from 1.5k, 😡

    I would be worried, I spent a fortune getting mine "fixed" after an MoT failure, only to have it go again within a couple of weeks. Car's off to the knackers in December if it doesn't fix itself, which it sometimes did before. Sad as I really like the car, but when you spend out 1500 plus you'd expect a fix. This is a case when I should have gone to the main dealer Live & Learn.

    Five 5* reviews Two 3* reviews, one of which clearly related to another product, the other which states it caused a fuse to blow using it via the OBD port. We've been using ir since December '18 and this has never happened. Two 1* reviews. Again does not relate to our experience. Not sure I can relate to any but the 5* reviews. Good kit.

    Not quite sure If this question is, does the solar charger function with the key off/out? If it is, then the answer is yes. Otherwise can't help.
  9. IanA2
    I can reccomend the AA one sold on Amazon. Plugs into the ODB port.

    Buy a solar charger, ours wouldn't hold charge for three weeks without it.....

    Hi, what is it about the GS430 your unsure.? I bought a GS300, about eight years ago as a fill in whilst my G Wagon was being fetlled. I was well impressed, (my first Lexus) and being a lover of V8's I chopped it in very swiftly for a 430 (MY2000) which I still have. So what was meant to be a temporary addittions, I still have eight years later. Only thing I would say is try and find an honest specialist. Main Dealer is very expensive and not all "specialists" are quite as you might like them to be.

    We have it plugged in to the OBD connector permanantly and just break the connection when using the car, and reconnect it using the (very useful) in-line connector on return.
  13. IanA2
    Not with you, you just plug it in to the OBD.

    We've been using an AA Solar charger connected via the OBD port for about two years. Works well, costs around £25.

    Thanks, I quess I was hoping someone might already have access, and more importantly the ability to understand the schematics. I bought the MB equivilent years ago and found it terribly difficult to use. It would probably cost me ££££ to find out what I want to know 🙂
  16. IanA2
    Surprising. MB book times are pretty easy to hold of, but maybe Lexus/Toyota keep their book time bible locked up in Fort Knox 🙂
  17. IanA2
    Nobody.....?
  18. IanA2
    Does anyone have access to Lexus book times? Thanks

    After my eyewateringly expensive experience with the German purchase I'm only buying high cost items from the UK, or from people I know and trust. I get stuff from Poland and Italy, but that's from trusted suppliers. There's no way I'm buying a radiator from the States or the Far East. It's a time consuming and costly risk to save a couple of hundred squids.

    Rang them, they don't have any rad to fit a GS430. Lexus tax it is then. 😞
  21. IanA2
    Thanks, I'll give them a ring tomorrow as I'm not sure that the rad shown is for a 430. It states that it will fit a 300 or a 400. I was under the impression that the 300 and 430 rads were different. In any case, the Lexus rad has probably been ordered, but as I say. I'll check tomorrow with AdRad.
  22. IanA2
    Indeed so 😞
  23. IanA2
    To be honest, I can't really make sense of their prices/charges. In any case as I have already said, my last overseas radiator purchase was painful and will not be repeated.
  24. IanA2
    Rockauto are US based, and with shipping is works out at just under 250. However, I bought a radiator from Germany for my G-Wagen, it was damaged and caused to end of grief getting my money. I also had to pay MB twice for fitting & removing, so, no more overseas purchases of that ilk for me. If anyone could find a UK based seller that sells OEM, I would be delighted, I can't find any..
  25. IanA2
    I had a look at custom rad company, even if they were willing/able to make one I suspect given the posted prices for vehcles they do supply, that Lexus would be cheaper. I think the price quoted was around 350 plus vat, so about 420.
