Hi, Had to share this. Its that time of year when we all want a shiny Lexus glinting in the sun, when it comes out. Trouble is the effort involved. I always have other more pressing things to do. Well I have the solution. After having a shower I noticed how shiny my hair was. So I grabbed the hair conditioner rubbed a bit about the size of a pea onto one panel and less than a minute later wiped it off with a microfibre cloth. The depth of shine was amazing. Ive since done the whole car, it only took me 1/2 an hour. You may laugh but it really does look like you have spent all day on it. Give it a go.

Hi, To be honest havent mastered the options for this head unit yet. It sounds good without the sub though, and with a little tinkering it may sound even better, bear in mind I have not had a stereo in my car for the last month. My Auto Electrician owns an LS as well and when I think its as good as its going to sound I will be trying a CD in his and my car for comparison. Will only be able to tell then whether to have the sub done.

Hi Steve, just spotted your post about getting rear sub working in your Ls. I think I will give the sub woofer a miss for now. Seems to sound great as it is, when the novelty has worn off who knows maybe a job for another day. Next project is to get the air con display sorted then car is 100%. Noticed lots of places in USA fix them but only know of one in the UK called Rebus. Anybody know of anywhere else in UK?

Hi All, well got new head unit installed in the car now. My Auto Electrician said it was a pig to do. The wiring adapter was wrong so he wired it in one wire at a time. The head unit fascia I was assured would fit snagged the head unit screen so also had to be altered. So all in all glad I didnt attempt it myself! Anyway all works except for the rear sub, but frankly it sounds great to me, so wont bother getting it done.

Hi Rudy, youre right about the subwoofer the wiring adapter I have ordered may not work with it. We will have to see I guess, but the auto electrician I use says if it doesnt work he can either find another way to make the sub work or if the system sounds good enough then leave it unconnected. This issue with fitting new stereos to old Lexus cars is going to prove more of an issue as time goes on I guess. Anyway will post when all is installed and working.

Hi all, Just collected my 1991 LS400 on saturday, 158,000 miles with good history, & it only cost £1000. Had to go 250 miles to Wales to collect it though. All in all am delighted with the car. Ijust hope I can afford to run it. I was suprised by just how economical it was coming home. I averaged 75-80mph over 250 miles and the car returned 33mpg. I was only expecting about 25 at most. It will be interesting to see how it does around town. Amazed how cheap it is to insure as well, £208.90 with the Post Office Fully Comprehensive cover. By the way are there any members in Cornwall who can recommend a mobile mechanic or independant garage I can use for servicing etc? Happy Motoring, Mark
