I imported my car two years ago from Ireland and the speedo clicked over 96,000 miles on the way back. Put some work into the cosmetics then last year got the talented guys at Osaka Newport to replace all the fluids and consumables. Big bill, but a glowing report. Only omission was rear discs and pads which they reckoned had 10,000 miles left in them.

Yesterday that was put right at service, and I picked up a new MOT with no advisories. Next year's job will apparently be the shoes on the parking brake, which are approaching expiry.

109,000 miles now and I am a very happy 430 driver.

109K miles is no big deal with these engines. I've an 83K miles LS430 that could be mistaken for straight off the factory floor from some angles and handles like new. If you look after them then they'll look after you.

I believe one of the guys at Gas and go has done an LPG conversion on his own 430.

First time I met Khalid at Osaka I showed him a large quote I had from Lexus for work on the locking as I acquired the car with just a sub key. He looked at the quote and laughed, saying "they got the wrong ecu". Checked with Lexus and they confirmed he was right (sheepishly). So I was confident I had found a knowledgeable guy and he did indeed sort my smart locking for a lot less money. He seems to keep Newport mobile looking after a fleet of Avensis taxis too :)

Always liked the look of the XM, myself.
