Does anyone know where I can buy the centre trims (wheel nut cover) for the wheels of an LS430, I only need one that has come off/been nicked! Thanks

I also have a 03 430 and agree with your thoughts but don't let the Lexus sales people try and push you. There are loads of them out there, and I picked mine up from a non-dealer with the premier pack and all extras for £19K last July. It did have 71K on the clock but was fully serviced including the expensive can belt change completed early. The wheels were a little scabby but I took it to the local Lexus dealer and they agreed to change them FOC because the white rust should not be on a car of that age. Check out the Lexus web site and Autotrader site you will find one for less than £20K with the premium pack, and then take out an independant warranty package for around £550 per year. Good hunting.

After a little frustration I told my son to sit on the boot and managed, with a little force, to turn the key in the boot to get it to spring open (once my son had been removed). As thought, my rugby muppet mate had slammed the boot lid with a web handle of a carry bag across the catch system. It was closed but the soft door was trying to get it the last few millimeters to be tight. Moral of the story is, ensure nothing is causing an obstruction across the lock mechanism when closing the boot lid!!!!!

Thanks for that but I have tried all the options mentioned in the hand book including the internal valet lock system, master key in the boot, boot release on master key fob and push button open on boot for keyless entry. None of these work and it now requires someone with the knowledge to open this using a workshop method not mentioned in the hand book!

Can anyone help me on getting the boot lid open. Someone went to my car and into the boot when I went out later the lid will not open no matter what method I have tried (key fob, internal release or manual key). I suspect that the muppet has got a bag strap trapped in the internal catch! Does anyone know another method of manually opening the boot on a LS430? Thanks

Thanks, I am on to it and looking at booth options. :D

Anyone know of an electrical dealer who can replace the laser of my Sat Nav unit on a LS430. Lexus refuse to supply the unit and want to rip me off to the tune of £1700 + VAT for the reader box! Cheers :tsktsk:
