I've given up trying to work out what's up so have bought a replacement actuator also!

Sadly already done to no avail 😢

Got a facelift LS430 with a door lock issue. Passenger front door doesn't lock on the first lock press and only locks once you press the lock again for double locking. I've changed the door lock actuator motor as it's the most common of issues but this has made no difference. Anyone got any clues? I'm a bit baffled, it's got keyless entry (not that it's ever used) but can't see why this would affect anything. Thanks in advance.

Got to arrange to have the rear screen replaced on a 2005 LS430. Looking on the various Russian Lexus parts sites it shows part no. 6481050290 for upto 2000-2003 and part no. 6481050330 for 2003-2006. I've found one that has been removed from a 2001 model but this will be the older part number. Does anyone have any info as to the difference and if the older one will fit? Hoping it's just a very minor difference!

Sadly there are no facelift LS430's being broken to y knowledge in the UK. As for the camera the lense looks like it's seen better days so I'm taking this as an indication it's knackered. As for the Land Cruiser motors I might take the plunge just to see, land of the brave and all that!

Looking to put a few things right on a 2005 LS430. Both steering motors have slowed to a crawl so need replacing, have tried lubrication but to no avail. Can anyone confirm that Land Cruiser Motors part numbers 89231-60021 and 89232-60021 fit the LS430? Also need a replacement reversing camera but I've only been able to find one at the moment at a breakers in Australia unless I want to buy a new one or expensive second hand one from the US. I've looked at amayama and even they're expensive for one! Finding anyone breaking a facelift LS430 in the UK is like trying to find rocking horse dung, one or two earlier ones but never post '04!

Thanks for coming back and keep us updated as to how you find it! :winky:

Thanks for coming back and I'm intrigued to know the outcome so keep us informed when you do get it. :winky:

Any luck with the kit itarumaa? :winky:

Look forward to hearing your opinion. ;)

Can anyone confirm or deny that this is a complete timing belt kit with nothing missing? Also when changing the spark plugs is there anything else that should be changed at the tsame time like the seals that go over the spark plug holes?

This is the SKF kit: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEXUS-LS-400-98-Timing-Cam-Belt-Kit-/200620523528?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2eb5ea4008 Looks like the tensioner has two pulleys, and as you can see this kit only has the one extra pullet with it.

What brand of plugs are recommended and is there anything else that should be done while the cambelts being done? have read on some US sites about doing the camseals while you're at it.
