    all the dash lights come on below 900rpm ( no MIL engine warning light ) rev to 1200rpm and they go off and I can drive like this for weeks and its starts on the turn of the key every time, battery charge is 9.5 volts and battery is new and just ordered new main engine relay which seems to have continuity problems when relay removed ( pins 4 and 5 show continuity ) any one else had this problem its electrical and not my area of expertise all help would be grateful because its costing me a fortune to sort out otherwise the car will have to go

    my apple I was thinking about that other stuff ethylene and didn't like the drawbacks it has but the LPG sound cool at that price

    long term savings?? 1. you get half the mileage a petrol car does 2. the loss of power 3. though still controversial ( damage or life lose of the engine ) although it cost £30 to go there it used twice as much gas to come back even though its half the price of petrol, my math says you just wasted your money but im still following it up

    totally agree there the car has impressed me and definitely the best car I have ever driven and its pure "Q"uality

    old mans car lol most old men would be scared ******ss with this sort of power and a V8 under the bonnet ( definitely not an old mans car ) that's reserved for the Rover 75 and Jaguar no offence to either of those by the way because they are both nice cars but in a different league than the LS 400

    diagnostics are great engine warning light is a dead give away which indicates a malfunction http://www.bba-reman.com/catalogue/Index.aspx?category=579

    the lock barrel can be changed without effect to the electrical side and its cheaper ( Lexus = big pockets ) but its not so

    disconnect the aircon fan ( do you know how the viscous fan works? ) its relevant to this problem because the AC cuts in when it fails
  11. ontheroad1
    its aircon related so unplug it but keep an eye on your temp gauge because it could be the viscous fan isn't working
  12. ontheroad1
    is this a single electric fan on the front of the radiator ( not the viscose fan behind the radiator ) which is on all the time? it could be the viscous fan isn't working and the aircon fan is on to make up for its loss to prevent the engine from over heating, just a thought
  13. ontheroad1
    turn the aircon off because that's the only electric fan in there the cooling fan is viscose so constantly on

    turn ignition on -activate wipers till they are vertical the switch ignition off and this gives you the opportunity to change the wiper blades

    strange because a single payment of £490 was drawn and you dont say a limit was set, I guess the bank wont look at this in the way you think because the pin was used?

    sounds like you would buy a fridge from an Eskimo, pay more attention to the car next time and take a trip to the dealers for what it has to offer ( toy ) wise and enjoy because its a nice motor for a 4 banger so leaps ahead of other rivals

    strange one that will be ( lost card day before and £500 missing ) reported it the next day, solo card is for a current account and mostly limited to cash machine withdrawal of £250/300 in any one day unless the amount of £500 was agreed beforehand so that makes it unlikely it was from a cash machine, as its chip and pin all shops have to use the PIN number for transactions with that little keypad thingy so if that shop used a signature then you should be covered and im sure the bank will do everything it can to help you and themselves

    that should be interesting to see when its done it will handle like an animal in heat lol, cool link to that site as well lots of good ideas and information

    I would change the fuel filter and definitely not use 85 octane ( 95 minimum or higher )

    lock and unlock the driver/passenger door with the key then put it in the ignition and switch to ACC then leave for 1 min this should reset the alarm/immobiliser back to key operated only

    looks like a pimped brick on wheels but im sure its nice ( would I have one ?? ) no personal choice only though

    that's not just any sort of work ( that's passion ) as these cars deserve
  25. ontheroad1
    so true that is mate but to get the proper tools you would need to go through snap on or Sykes pickavant and they are not cheap so as long as you know what your looking for eBay is a good place to start cost wise, strange thing is Ive never seen any diagnostic stuff for the early OBD systems and probably because its easy enough to do tests your self with a jump wire in the DLC ( as long as you know which pins to jump ) so ill still keep looking you never know one day you just might see what you need
