hybridbatterysolutions

As the individual cells are contained (in this case) within a 6 cell module & aligned in a shared housing it will apply whatever I programme it to apply to each individual module on its own or as part of a group (small or large) of modules of my choosing. I have designed many different programmes for different models & different circumstances each programme suits different timescales & budgets you see both are crucial & inextricably linked.

Hehehehe why - thankyou Steven 😂

I'm not quite that clever!! Yes by all means, I should be around.

Hi Paul, if you do find you have Traction Battery Issues I am not that far away from you. Regards Richard

I'm afraid I don't at present John sorry.

Yes I will try to do that, I've been so busy with the machine & other non-car related stuff that I haven't had many chances to sit down with the net 😂 Good to see you!

I wouldn't say they are prone to engine oil leaks at all really that i have come across, they do suffer from front shocker leaks however in my experience.

Interestingly he did but I think he had an issue in getting it to me however, It's a shame because I could have sorted that out quite quickly - I've seen this many times before & also, in conjunction with a well respected tech company, I have just put together our multi channel machine that is fully programmable from windows, I have been testing it in my workshop & building the programmes up for it over the last year or so I guess, it's up & running & doing a great job too I must say so I could of breathed a fair bit of life back into it for him as well as repaired the original faults he had? Never mind.

Can I help ?

Ah thank you very much advice duly noted. Ive had a couple of LS's here & tbh the cars are just superb, I only have 1 issue with them, the complexity of getting the hybrid battery out to work on makes repairs unviable. I might have something in the pipeline for a hybrid conditioner for them, its another project I've always put on the back burner.

Indeed I am 🙂

Hi everybody, I haven't got the money for one as yet, I am just gathering information for when I do so keep it rolling in I'm all ears! & a big thankyou!

Blimey, thanks so much for all that detail, thats fantastic! Thanks so much for doing all that work with part numbers too! I've come across toyo before & have often used it, I've bought stuff from Amayama & Partsouq as well for my GS. Everytime I think about selling the GS I get a bit of a knot of reluctance, its been my baby & I've lavished on it, it's the best car I've ever owned! but the SC has that certain something else going for it & Clarkson & his mob are just idiots IMHO

How much do all these mods cost? I'll need to factor them in unless I can get one that's already tricked up ! I didn't really want to have to spend a fortune?

She's a beauty Ian!

heheheheh that made me chuckle! all good invaluable stuff, I would be unlikely to go for a modified version unless they were sensible mods. My days of Carlos Fandango wide wheels & fury dice are well & truly over but I do feel i would be at home in an SC, i'm just wondering if it feels & drives similar to my GS? i suspect there are similarities but 'hey' thats a beautiful car too! Was tempted by a 350slk but i suspect the ride is harsh, Z3 allthough sexy at the time a bit skitish for the middle aged gent, heres hoping I wont be dissapointed, being a huge Lexus fan I doubt I will! Thanks Neil!!

Ah ok noted thankyou Philip, anything else? I saw a youtube video that said at 2006 they got a facelift & better suspension?, I'm guessing you love yours?

Hi there Guys & Gals, I'm a newbie to the SC Forum I'm usually more at home on the GS & RX hybrid Forums, the time has come i think to part with my beautifull GS450h, I love lexus & have more or less set my heart on an SC430, there's somethiung about them? Anyway, any advice on common issues & problems & what to look for would be very much appreciated, I'll probably have up to 10k available. Thankyou in advance

This was my original post about the pipe bracket, I got mine welded up by a specialist welder, I can only presume its there as part of the fluid transfer system so not fitting the pipe with bits security bracket back in could i guess affect the manual gearing or some-such, definately best to repair & refit IMHO

Oh really? I didn’t realize thanks chaps! I’ve usually got 2 or 3 in but it can go in fits & starts - extremes of temperature sees more in though definitely! i hesitate to post about their results without they’re permission & it could be seen as advertising. What I would say is keep an eye on my sites as prices of my new ones are dropping a fair bit as soon as I finish publishing them that is!! i did ask Steve about advertising on here but prices were very too high for a one man workshop!!! all the best Richard

On first impression that looks pretty good, there would also be a way we could "fool" the ecu to constantly run the fan unit on different stages of speed by adding fixed value resistors across the thermistor terminals, in Techstream there is actually a 6 speed graduation on the test function. The fans are very robust on our GS's. Looking out the window we definately don't need it today !

Hi I have removed any company references. Apologies for copying over from FB without removing last line. Richard

My apologies, quite a few people are still blissfully unaware though - if my post saves someone a nasty shock then I am happy 😃

It’s not actually, I posted it in order that people who may be concerned can quickly check via the link. The more people that meet it the better petrol/hybrid, petrol, diesel, lpg etc etc etc.

Values of older Hybrid Vehicles are now set to soar as the new Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charge is introduced in London! The new charge is now in effect & comes on top of the existing Congestion Charge so it will cost £11-50p Congestion Charge plus £12-50p ULEZ charge making £24-00p!! just to take a non compliant vehicle into central London!! The yearly charge based on a 5 day working week with 4 weeks holiday already deducted is a whopping £5,760!!!! The new ULEZ zone is expanding by 2021 to include a massive area encompassing the North & South Circular Roads. Birmingham, Derby & Newcastle are also set to introduce similar charges. The good news is the most popular older Hybrid vehicles such as the Toyota Prius, Honda Civic IMA, Lexus GS450h ( yes even this superb luxury 3.5L cruiser ) are already Ultra Low Emission Vehicles ( ULEV's) so the owners of these vehicles are smiling all the way to the Bank now!! If you would like to check if you will have to pay the new ULEZ charge, enter your registration number into the tfl website via this link:- https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/check-your-vehicle-35896 Suddenly renewing the Hybrid Battery in your old car makes perfect sense.
