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

    That car used to belong to a member on this forum. He sold it on Autotrader a couple of years ago for over 3 grand. He got the car resprayed, apart from the bonnet, roof and boot I think. Not sure why he didnt respray the whole car.

    When I had a mk3 gs300, i did the same as yourself, and it came up with cd2, so I thought someone had added another cd changer, I checked the boot etc and nothing, then opened the arm rest console, and deep down I saw an aux cable someone had fitted, maybe previous owner, plugged it into my phone and I could play music from it. So every time I wanted to use my phone to play music, I had to press on cd2. Maybe someone has fitted aux cable

    All sorted now, I took it to someone competent to do the alignment

    I bought a rear wheel bearing from Rockauto, make was SKF. To be honest I always buy parts from rockauto. Regarding the radiator, there is a 4 or 5 digit number on top of the radiator, that's the one you go by when buying a radiator from Lexus

    I've put a new tyre on, the right one had wear on the outside bit due to the faulty tie inner and outer tie rod, and then had the alignment done and checked pressure. It wasnt out of alignment before I had the parts fitted. It does drive straight, but the steering wheel is to the left, it wasnt even that bad after the parts were fitted, but I was told I had to get alignment done. Do you think I should have the left front tyre replaced too?

    Thanks for the reply Yes they used a clamp to hold the steering wheel centre, and it did look centre to me too, but when I drove it out, it's still to the left slightly, well a little more than slightly, it's doing my head in, I took it back, he re did it again, but it's still the same

    Hi guys Hope someone can help. So, I've had the drivers side inner and outer tie rod replaced, and had wheel alignment done, the car drives straight but the steering wheel is slightly to the left, but the car still drives straight, after a week I took it back to check the alignment, he said it was out slightly but it's still the same. Does that mean I should have replaced the passenger side too?

    Thanks for that. They sent me part number TA5844, the top bit seems different to the one on the car and the thread is a little longer, so I didnt fit it as I know the wheel wont look right.

    Does anyone have the part number for the drivers side inner tie rod on a 1999 ls400 they can give me please. I ordered a delphi one from rockauto but it turns out the thread it slightly longer Thanks in advance

    Hi guys Hope your all well. I currently have pirelli assimetrico 245 50 17 on my ls400. I have a brand new tyre sitting in the boot that I bought last year just in case I may need it. Anyway, I just going through the internet last night, and it looks like these tyres are hard to get. What other brand of tyre would you guys recommend? I'm not into winter tyres as they make alot of nose and look awful, the ones on the car now are very quiet. Thanks in advance

    If it's the alternator, buy it from rockauto, they have a sale on at the moment. Denso alternator reconditioned is £92, new one is just a little more
  20. messi
    Yes it does sound like the alternator
  21. messi
    Thank you for that

    Just out of curiosity, where is the temp sensor located?
  23. messi
    Sounds like engine flooded to me too
  24. messi
    Rockauto. I have a lexus ls400, lexus main dealers wanted over £240 for an abs sensor, a wire with a plug on it, even the parts guy couldn't believe the price. Anyway ordered one from rockauto for £120 delivered within 3 days

    Why not disconnect it under the centre console, it's about a 5 min job
