Hi Paul,
Get me on chrisvince@btopenworld.com I have all the bits in stock.
The problem you describe is a failure of a temperature critical component on
the PCB of the dash combination gauges, not so evident in the summer because
of the higher ambient temperatures, or after a long drive when it has heated
up sufficiently to pass a current, this problem mainly affects MK2 LS400's,
of which I have repaired many, whilst at the moment you eventually get
lights, it will reach a stage when the component will completely fail to
pass any current at all.
The charge is £65 + £8 P&P back to you, the Lexus price of a new unit is
£1,900-00.
I can usually get them back in the post first class recorded the same day
(dependent on the time of arrival here).
FYI I can also repair the instrument needles, getting them lighting up again
like new, this is a proper repair! Not the fishing rod fluorescent tip paint
job advertised by some others, this is £20 per needle, and is obviously much
easier done at the same time, please advise if you need, or indeed wish this
defect to be repaired should his car suffer this generic fault also.
If you wish to go ahead I can supply you with detailed instruction to remove
the unit, or if convenient by arrangement I may be able to repair your car
while you wait, in which case I will remove and refit your repaired unit for
only £10 extra.
Regards,
Chris
