Hi just purchased a 94 LS400 and have the usual problems and need help, the problems are the ac lcd panel if anybody can direct me to a source for the replacement lcd part i would be very grateful and also any advice on the suspension upper arms and lower arms as well as any other things a green horn needs to know i do mechanic quite a bit and have always been a hardcore toyota fan and always aspired to own a lexus someday but want to get down and dirty, and tidy the motor up and have a smooth cruise thanks for the help and any hints or tips i need to know, cheers Eric

Hello and welcome.......look on eBay and the USA LOC club for the LCD panel or have it done for you.

Trawl past posts for info.......Chris Vince is the man.

Upper and lower arms, are yours faulty?...Or do you just need them checked........they

don't fail every five minutes.......!

Hi thanks for the post i havent had the car on the lift so to speak but when i drove it on the main roads it was ok until i hit a dirt track and something is knocking round the front, as for the panel i would like to sort it myself as i have electronic engineering and am a maintenance guy spark by trade so get to have my hands on anything and everything, also are there other ls owners here selling parts as i could do with a towbar, not for anything serious but better than rotten gras in the boot of the car, thanks again Eric, by the way i still have my celica tucked away and have quite a few of the toyota manuals for older corollas and celicas too if any one needs mech or elec info

Hello and welcome to the loc.

Hi just am update to my first post i now have checked the suspension and found that all the front end seems ok but the rear upper control arms are worn in the ball joints and i have the odd scabby brake pipe and a slight leak on the exhaust gasket where the exhaust joins the bottom of the cat on the ps side, i have already sourced and fitted a new ac control panel and a stereo and made up a cable to mute it automatically when i fit my phone kit in, and had the front and rear bumpers off to have them painted up to make them nice and shiny again, all i need now then is a bit more time and some rear arms if any one knows where is good to source them from

thanks Eric yib7065
