Could you tell me who did your conversion? cheers dave Had my done for 3years (131000 and counting) emmegas system no real probs at all just had my tank changed to a torodial tank in spare wheel well 77l with 62l usable if you run it dry,normally fit around 55-60l in which returns around 200mls around town and 250 on motorway run all for 18 quid !!! 2p at morrisons . I have had no trouble with valves . if you are woorried about it then fit a flash lube kit very cheap off ebay. hope this is some use to you ? ← [/quote what is a flash lube kit??????

Ok here's the method. You will need a multimeter to measure DC voltage Open the fob to expose the battery. Put the black (negative) lead of the meter on the metal key. Put the red (positive) lead of the meter on the top ot the battery ( positive) Check the voltage ( should be at least 3 volts). This is the tricky bit. Whilst the leads are still connected press the button on the fob keeping your eye on the meter reading. if the voltage remains around 3 volts the battery is OK. If it drops ( as in my case to around 1.5 volts) this indicates that the battery is exhausted. Or if you don't have a meter just buy a new battery for a couple of quid and try that. I've got one of the ones with a single button on the side of the fob. I've unscrewed the little screw but can't seem to get the fob apart. How do you do it? Hi, After removing the single philips screw I found the best way was to slide my thumbnail into the fob at the top of the loop where the keyring goes and prise it open or use a blade to assist. One side should then open and can be removed to access the battery. Mine was very tight probably because it had never been opened before. Good luck I hope it works for you, Steve Cheers Steve just before I give it a go, I'll compare with you how mine works just to make sure it's normal and that a fresh battery is actually required. I need to be probably less than a metre from the door and need to hold the button for a full second or 2 before the doors lock or unlock. So it works, I guess. Does this sound normal? thanks again Dave

I got my LS400 for my dad as a grey import from japan, so I'm a fan of jap imports. If I was in your situation I would think about a 1996 or 1997 Toyota Chaser Tourer V or Mark II. You could get an auto imported for about 6500 pounds with 60000 miles. Performance is really amazing: Maximum power: 206 kW @ 6,200 RPM Torque: 376 Nm @ 2,400 RPM 0 to 100 km/h: 6.1 seconds 400m: 13.8 seconds Weight: About 1,500 kg Look at that torque figure. Have a look at them at this website: http://english.auto.vl(blocked word)/ They look much like what you would call a Camry, except better. If you sold both your cars you could get a manual, which are much more expensive, or a modified one, which have supercar performance, if 6.1 seconds isn't pretty much supercar already.
