Ls400 Newbie

CASINO · October 26, 2005

hi there

thought it was about time that i said hello. i've been lurking around here for the last two weeks :)

i bought a 93 ls400 about three weeks ago. and love it :)

there are a few things wrong with it but it is a 13yr old motor so can't complain.

i'm into all types of cars,i've just finished restoring a 1968 bay camper

and i've got a 1985 nissan 300c lowrider(see avatar) :)

a couple of questions to get me going

1.does anyone know where i could get hold of some clear indicators?

2.and are there any common faults around the power steering reservoir area as mine seems to be leaking from some where?

many thanks

Hi and Welcome to LOC :)

Have a look through LS400 Section of this site there should be info about the clear lens on there,if not try the LS400 section on the US site..

Heres the Link to US site

The Power steering leak is a common problem,again have a look through the same sections.

Cheers chips..

thanks

another quick question!

does anyone know the size/diameter of the rear sub speaker on the parcelshelf as i appeared to have blown mine up and need a replacement :)

Hi,

The rear sub was a pioneer 8inch in my mk1 LS,not a very common size these days...Its was around £130 for a replacement from Lexus

Kicker did a 8inch sub but it wont just bolt in and a swap things need to be cut about for it to fit.

Hi,

There is an excellent site at http://www.lexls.com which has loads of good information.

He has posted a tutorial on fitting an aftermarket subwoofer, you can find it here:

cheers rob :)

i'm going to investigate my power steering pump leak at the weekend i've bought a load of "o" rings with the wishful thinking it will be the seal between the pump and the reservoir BUT if its the pump that leakin,how much we talkin?i've reado here that you can buy a complete seal kit for less than £40 so how much labour is that gunna be.... just so i've got a rough idea!!!

many thanks
