I have a 99 ls400, the steering motor on mine is very temperamental in autumn winter, but come spring and summer when the weather is hot, it works without an issue.

Its every 100000 miles or 10 years, which ever comes first.

You do know lexus dealer dont actually do body work. They have a contract with a local body shop that does the work for them.

This is the same cat that was for sale by a guy Luton some time back, then someone at Lexusworld bought it and that dodgy dealer rich walker kept phrasing how good it was, but The bodywork I can tell you needs alot of attention, infact, i wouldnt bother with it.

The is300 looks very nice

I'm not sure but all I'm going to do is advise of this. You may come across someone at the sc430 meeting or on lexus clubs or Ebay etc by the name of Rich Walker. He deals in sc430's, never buy one of him. He is a trader and a dodgy one at that.

Could be the drive belt

Looking at the mot, all you need is new suspension arms, and corrosion isnt serious, it should pass mot and then just get the corrosion treated

That much corrosion at 60000 miles? I've got surface corrosion on mine, which has 111000 miles and I've used lanoguard on it, but I'm shocked that 60k there is that much corrosion on the car. Maybe because its just been parked up maybe?

You got to remember, the car is over 20 years old, so will have some corrosion, but having said that, I wouldn't buy any car from that seller

Cost £478. New bolts too as a couple broke They kept complementing the car on how nice it is and well looked aftered it is. A guy from another until came over to have a look at it too and liked it

Shout out to lex tek, just got my car back, Dave fitted new cam cover gaskets, seals etc, all is now well. No more oil leaks.

Thank you malc

I only take it on long journeys with my daughter, we go up Scotland, pembrokeshire, devon, Cornwall etc, I hardly drive it locally, I prefer walking I love the car, i know the 2 issues are minor, but it just stresses me out, I'll have to get them done. Whenever there is an advisory on an mot, I always get it done.

Thanks The car itself is near mint condition. It's a lovely, it was getting compliments even at the garage, advisories stress me out

So took my ls400 for an mot yesterday, yes it passed but with 2 advisories, well 3 sorry. One was surface rust in 2 small places is coming back, so I'll deal with that, ns lower ball joint has very slight play, I can sort that out too, but also minor oil leak. Mot tester said he thinks it's from the valve cover gasket area, but I noticed this when it first started in August, when I had the oil and filter replaced. The mechanics split abit down the side, anyway, when I looked yesterday, yes it was slightly wet around the left sump area, but I couldnt see any oil leaking from the gasket area, nothing. But my question is, should I just get the gaskets replaced, they are like 22 years old and also, my car is on lpg, do you guys think lex tek will do it due to my car being on lpg or can anyone on here do it for me if I get the parts and I'll pay for labour too. I'm based in the west Midlands. The amount of money of spent on this car, rounds up to about £2000 in the past year and half, all suspension parts, and of course cambelt and water pump. I'm thinking I've had enough, but then I love the car. I'm trying to beat prostate cancer, but this kinda thing stresses me out. Thanks in advance

It wont have anything to do with the lpg system fitted. If it runs rough sometimes and engine light was flashing, that's a misfire and most probably a coilpack issue. I had an sc430 with the same problem, on mine it was the 1 coilpack and 1 oil control valve.

Sorry i they ain't that good. Not sure why I said they were good. I replaced mine for green stuff pads, no brake dust or squealing.

Textar are very good.

You do know the oem brake pads and discs are texstar, and you can get them much cheaper from your local car spares shop. And I mean much much cheaper

Where abouts are you?

Thanks alot for that

Does any one know the part numbers for a 1999 lexus ls400 alternator and starter motor please. Mine are fine (touch wood) but I want to buy one of each just incase I may need them one day

Use Bilt Hamber snowfoam, trust me, you wont use any other brand after you've used Bilt Hamber

Yes he has had for sale a while now. Doesnt look like anything is wrong with it either apart from the colour not matching
