My New Car...

[jackal]

Just picked up my MK2 Aristo yesterday, it took me 4 hours to drive to Envy to collect it so we decided to stay in a hotel good thing realy because it took us 6 hours to drive home.

Its silver completely standard with 48000miles. Pics coming soon.....

Noticed the tracking was out so got that done today only problem is its now making a PING/BING sort of noise every time i take a right hand bend. Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers :D

Congrads on your new car, you'll have plenty of fun with her.

As for the noise during turning, you may have either a lower or upper ball joint going, common thing to go on these, not a difficult job. You can check by jacking the front up a bit so that the tire is off the road and tugging the top of the tyre carefull and feel/listen for movement

Also as the others have mentioned, some piccs of your new lady would be good

Congratulations on your new car - ENJOY.

As Norkep says, could be ball joints.

All the best Paul.

I will try and take a few pics tomorrow if it stops raining for 2 mins :D

As for the ball joints would the car be that clever to register that there was a problem and alert me by making a sound, surley there would be some sort of light flickering on and off the dashboard?

Oh yeah and my TRC light dosent work how do i know if it works at all without trying to send the car sideways lol :D

If it's an alarm sound from the dashboard then its not the ball joint as this is an exteral metalic sound - the Aristo does have various safty features that bleeps (like reverse gear, etc). Traction Control could be just a dead bulb - worth cheeking first.

Took it to a garage today to get a diagnostics check and it said the following errors:-

C1251 - Pump motor is locked open. Circuit in pump motor circuit

C1223 - Malfunction in ABS control system

Phone Lexus they wouldnt touch the car?? Phoned Toyota they had no idea what it was but will have a look.

The plug was disconnected from the unit and my brake pedal went solid/hard and that annoying loud pitched noise started! When plug was reconnected the pedal went to the floor and noise stopped.

The strange thing is I only noticed something was wrong when the noise started yesterday when I was driving I have no lights appearing on my dash?

Sounds like it may be your Brake Master cylinder? (correct me if I'm wrong people), but it does cost a "large" amount to fixup IIRC.

If it is then PM me, I may be able to help you out with a "source" :).
