What i meant was that by the time I passed my test most of them were already off the road. Only a few well kept examples were still around.

Treat yourself one day? They ARE old in some respects, obviously, as technology moves on. But in some ways, Ride especially, they were great! AND looks too! Even the GSA drove nicely. As to the 30 degree lean you could get from a Ami/2CV on corners......fantastic!

Something totally different

Does anyone know if an alternator from a '94/'95 Ls400 is the same as the one from a '93?

Hi Mark, yes that's the one I'm hoping to buy :)

So hands off every one :winky:

After replacing the front brake pads today (will do the rear tomorrow..) I find the brake pedal quite spongy and it travels more than before. I have done nothing to the brake fluid circuit except I took some fluid out of the reservoir because after compressing the brake cylinders the level was too high.

Anyone have an idea what might cause this?

Hi

That is quite normal, the pads will only be touching the disc in one place, you are pressing the pedal and forcing the rest of the pad against the disc, hence the spongy low pedal, when they have bedded in they will be fine, just brake lightly for a few days and you will notice the pedal harden up....

Possably a sticking piston in the calliper, if its not air in the system.

[ManicMark]

OK possably not Petes theory makes sense

Thanks guys.

I'll do the rear pads tomorrow and then give it a few days, see if it improves

[Ruud]

Drove it a few days and she's back to normal :D

Hi guys,

Been a while since I've posted on here. Ended up selling the car at the end of January.

However after trying out about 5 different cars after the Lexus I couldn't really find anything I liked. Until now!

We saw our old LS up for sale and decided to buy her back :D

Soooo here I am again ;)

[thermoacc]

Hahaha!.....welcome back to LOC!.....That`s what I did, sold an LS and had it back a few months later. You gorra love these cars, the only upgrade is a newer one! Have fun! :D

[Ruud]

Thanks Thermo :D

I have to agree, the only upgrade would be a newer one..lol

I've tried a Vauxhall Omega, Volvo V70 & S70 and some others not worth mentioning :) but the LS is just in a different league. I intend to keep her till she falls apart :D

[JellyBean]

I intend to keep her till she falls apart :D

You'll have a long white beard by then, then !

[sparkystav]

#Welcome back mate

[Ruud]

Thanks Sparky.

A long white beard indeed.

I don't really see the early LS depreciating anymore (for the fanatic) and seeing the LS has been on Mike & Edd's Wheeler Dealers as a future classic : it will increase in value over the years. I think..lol
