No Fault with the Sensor on the Brake Fluid Bottle, and the Brakes are all good on the car.

Anybody out there know any common fault???

Really baffling me at the mo, any help greatly taken

LowRed

Hello to all,

I am new to the LS people but been here before with a LowRider LS.

I have a few questions that I could find out trawling old links etc but thought this may be quicker...

1) Where can I get a Plain Debadged Chrome (or black) Grille?

2) Are there Holes under the Badges on the Back? (before I try taking em off )

3) Where can I get Clear Side Repeaters and Front Indicators?

4) Where can I get Sport Adjustable Coilovers to replace the Factory setup?

5) Is it simple for fitting Aftermarket ICE to the LS's or is a bit of work required?

Any infomation and knowledge on LS Acessories etc would be greatly appreciated :D

I'm aware most of this stuff can be imported, but thought I'd look closer to home before going down that line lol

Regards to all in Advance,

LowRed

as to ur question no 2 yes there are holes when u take of badges of the bak,ive a mk2 and went to debadge it and found holes behind all rear badges

ive 3 cars in household and she wrecks the one i love the most and the one she likes the most(why she cudnt wreck her own freelander or my jag i dont know), i wrongly got a x-type jag just the other month and its :tsktsk: i regretted it within hours and decided id run it for a bit then sell it and pick up a mk4 ls400 in the near future WELL THE FUTURE HAS CROPPPED UP QUICKER THAN I THOUGHT so ive to thank the mrs for that...although my ls is 14yrs old its much much better than my 4yr old x-type. i will never ever stray again from lexus and most importantly never let the mrs drive it

p.s anybody want to buy a x-type jag lol

:) had just fitted new headlite bulbs to car for its mot today and mrs says "i'll take it out of garage for you". ah sweet i thought :D mmmm yeah rite she hits wrong pedal and demolishes workshop bench and tools and equipment go flying every where, as she plants car wer bench shud be, :tsktsk: oooops she mutters im not used to automatics.. .. me im gutted damage substained is headlite, side lite, wing,bonnet bumper and scrapes all over roof and boot wer tools bounced of bodywork, insurance assessor coming on friday to view damage to car and garage and equipment, due to damage and age off car 93 mk11 me thinks its a ins rite off

i had this fault on mine and lexs dealer quoted over a grand for the sort.... i sorted it my self for 12pence and a hour of my time 12p was for a cap and the time was taking instrument cluster out and soldering new cap on sorted dash and centre console if you look bak into my posts the fix is there somewhere under blinky dash

Hi all my radio works fine, but none of the controls or the display light up.

Is there a separate feed to the radio and is it fuse, if so where.

Had the radio out, could not find any fuse insid the unit.

i had the same problem with mine,i soldered on a new capacitor in the instrument cluster and it was sorted,canna mind which one but i'll look it up again n get bak to u.....

the orinal fault i had was a blinky dash n sorced out a diy fix for the dash and it sorted out my lights on the centre console as well

Had the Lex in for the MOT yesterday and am pleased to say it passed.

Had a advisory note to say the nearside rear lower suspension arm has slight play in pin/bush.

The tester said its not very bad but could knock the tyre out so I want to fix it in the near future.

My question is this,does the arm come complete with the bush.

ive just this minute walked bak from dropping my car off at garage to get the exact bit fitted pity i didnt see this b4 could of photo'd it n showed u. to answer ur Q yes it does i got quotes for said bit rangeing from £98 down to £53 for nearside all OEM,...................OOOPS SORRY just read ur post again it was nearside FRONT im getting fitted

I went to get something out of the rear passenger footwell today(drivers side)and found that it had knocked against a small panel that i have never seen before.This panel had fallen off and under it was what seemed like a electrical socket or plug.Does anyone have any idea what this could be ??????

Andy

i found the same panel last week as well with plug socket and still not the wiser to wot its for mines a 93 mk11..... didnt find any money either lol

Im just getting a blank pic with a X in the top right of it.

Not very good with computers, will try later when daughter gets in.

just saved mi self a few hundred pounds sortin blinkin dash by diy and alot of help and advice from other members, i originally went to lexus who said they didnt think they could sort the prob without havin to replace the whole cluster at a cost of well over a GRAND,so i searched the posts on here and the the U.S forum and came up with the fix for it at a huge cost of 11pence yes u read right 11pence for the cap and 1hour of my spare time,i only replaced the one cap on the small circuit board and this sorted all my electrical probs i had ie blinkin dash and no lights on centre console for climate/stereo and clock i now have a fully working motor..BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO HELPED ME SOURCE THE FIX OUT CHEERS

Some previous owner has painted her  (?) nails on the dash and left traces. I suspect nail varnish remover is not the cleaner of choice for a vinyl dash.

Any suggestions how to get it off?

Tippex splashes on the vinyl door covers and leather arm rest and seats.

Any suggestions how to get that off?

Its niggling at my pride of ownership.

hi my mrs (nail polish wearer) says vinegar and water or lemon juice n water hope this helps u out

Does it make any difference when you turn the knob near the instrument panel

that dims/brightens the instruments?

←

Known fault on early models, especially when cold.

There is a step by step fix on the USA LOC.

The original post was by Cole Carter.

You have to replace three capacitors on the circuit boards behind the

instrument panel.

I have done this fix on my'94 LS.

If you can solder tiny parts you can do it, I got the caps. from Maplin. :)
