1 year with my 2004 Lexus SC 430

Hey everyone,

I am just over a year into ownership with my Lexus SC430. It has passed its MOT and I have been trying to resolve the issues as they pop up (which feels almost monthly recently).

The fresh brake pads have greatly improved the stopping power in the car, I managed to source a replacement 'pie' wheel cover from a fellow Lexus enthusiast/ follower on my YouTube channel. I hopefully plan to get the bumper touched up (was bought with some paint chips and a little peeling at corner). 

The cream carpets have been tough to keep clean, recently scrubbed up well. My leather dye arrived over the weekend, so I will need to do that over the next wee while.

I might try and brave re-foaming the speakers that have been vibrating soon.

 

If anyone wishes to see my latest SC 430 video, please see my video below:

Very good Thomas and informative too.

Which tyres did you put on at £100+ per corner ?

Hey John,

Firstly, thanks for watching.

I took it to Kwik Fit, they fitted 'arrowspeed' according to my paper work.

Thanks Thomas. A tyre made in Korea I think with decent ratings too. ENJOY.

Thank you 🙂

I have attempted my first coat at the touch up dye kit of the leather seats.

Hi Thomas

How did you go on with the Liquid Leather Scuff Master, as that is an impending job I need to do?

Regards Anthony 

Yes leather dye is the way to go. I've used it many times and it works well if you apply it in many light even coats with a sponge or even better as a spray. I can't link to it but if you search you will find good examples of SC430 owners results including my own.

There's a bit in here where I covered the sub enclosure but there's more elsewhere on how to rejuvenate the seats.
