What To Check For On '93 Ls400 ?

[Ed Graefe]

Hi

I'm going to look at a '93 LS400 tomorrow with 80k on the clock. My biggest regret was selling my '97 LS400.

What should I look for on this model(is it a series 2?)?

When should the cambelt have been changed please?

Many thanks for you help.

Cambelt at 60,000 miles or 10 years and the dash lights flickering to non-existent............. common on the Mk2. easy fix tho'.

My radio backlights were also on the blink b4 it departed.

Think the power steering leaking over the alternator can be an issue too.

The climate control/clock LCD will probably be blacked out, the wiring loom over the passenger side boot hinge causes problems and the heated seats will probably not work any more.

Check the CD changer in the boot does it still work?
