The car is totally standard with no tints at all

Hi

On my 94 LS400 the remote central locking isn't great. I put it down to the batteries in the remote but I've changed them and still the remote is poor. Does anyone have any idea why this could be?

Also I have noticed that my fm radio reception is very poor. Is there a booster or something for the ariel? How do you remove the stereo to check the connections?

Thanks

The range isn't that great on those models. You might try aiming via the driver's door glass or windscreen towards the dash. Is your aerial dirty? If it is, try cleaning it with metal polish when it's up, and see if that makes a difference.

HTH.

I've tried aiming it at that area but it's still hit and miss. You have to stand right next to the car and often it doesn't work first time.

As far as I know and can see the ariel is clean, I'll check it when I get home later.

Thanks :)

well, the ls400/celsior had traction control from 1989 when it was launched in US and japanese markets but not in the UK!

That's even more shocking, why on earth would they remove it for the UK market?

Are we all much more sensible drivers or something?

It's not like we have rain and bad weather is it Another case of Japan robbing the spec that they give to the rest of the world :(

My previous car was this.

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is that?

It's a Subaru Legacy turbo. They have the same running gear as the impreza and mine had the bigger turbo from the WRX etc. Alot of impreza owners didn't even know what it was

By the way I bet the item missing from your toolkit is the penlight torch it normally is!

Cheers,

Well I don't have one so I guess so

I didn't know that the series 1s had narrower tyres, I guess it is down to that :)

Hi and Welcome to the LOC :)

Hope you stick around.

Very clean LS400 you have there B)

How are you getting on with your new car?

What did you have before if you dont mind me asking to compare it to?

Chips.

It is super clean and the mileage is good too I think, I paid good money for it considering that it's a 2 so hopefully it'll look after me.

I love the car, I've been after one for about 10 years since I drove my first one It is everything I thought it would be but what I didn't expect was to get one in this condition. Everything works and is mint apart from 1 thing being missing from the toolkit (no idea what) and the clock and aircon displays being black.

My previous cars have always been fast cars of one description or another but the closest I'd got to anything like this was my old Carlton gsi's, these don't suffer with rust the same though :D My previous car was this.

You can't compare a LS400 to that That was amazing and fast but this does that too plus it does it comfortably :)

Hi everyone

I'm new here but I've had my 94 mark 2 LS400 for 4 weeks now :)

Does it have a lsd? It seems to have loads of grip from the back but I remember my friends Dads old one (maybe a mark 1) losing traction quite easily I am so impressed with the grip but I didn't expect it to grip so well.

Anyway here's my car :)
