Does anyone know if a drivers seat could be modified to replace the passengers side, as my wife loves the car but hates the fact that the seat does not have any seat/cushion tilt like the drivers side and finds the front of the cushion too low, if the main electrics plug was the same i would try getting a drivers seat and swap them around. I must admit i was surprised that Lexus cut costs by limiting the electric adjustments on the passengers seat, as all my 7 series and Saab's have this feature.

I tried Alex suggestion and the alarm works, is the alarm only a current drop or is there sensors for movement in the car as well. I am going to get one of the remote central locking kits of Ebay and use that, so does anyone know where the central locking ECU is on the LS400.

Thanks for that, i will try it tomorrow, i take it that it works from the passengers and drivers door and the alarm will go off/reset itself when the car is unlocked by the key, i really need to get a manual for the car :)

I managed to get my headlight adjusted today, thanks Alex. The car only came with one key and i will have to get another cut, the key is just a plain one, cut last year by Lexus, as the owner lost his keys in a house fire. The red security light still comes on when i lock the car, does anyone know if this is just an immobiliser or the alarm as well. I am going to have a look at the drivers lock switch to see if i can get the central door locking working from that door and i will get one of the remote central locking kits from EBay as well and install it when i find the central locking ECU. One last question, does anyone know if Lexus will still have any owner manuals, or will i just have to keep a look out on Ebay for one.

Thanks for the welcome, i will have a look at the anti roll bushes on Monday, as there is no rattle or clunk, you just get the thump/clump noise almost like tyre slap, it is like the noise you get when you slap your hand down on a flat surface, not mechanical noise like metal on metal. A quick one, on my BMW 735i's the tyres on the back are bigger than on the front, would this give better grip on the Lexus or upset the balance, or should i go from a 205 tyre all round to a 225 tyre.

I have just got a 1992 LS400 with 113,000 miles and full Lexus service history, i always wanted one and picked this one up to keep the miles down on the rest of my cars. I have to say the built quality is everything i was expecting, truly stunning, it has a years MOT and 6 month tax, and has just had the brakes renewed front and back as well. It was a 1020 mile trek to go down and bring the car back up, but it was worth it when i saw the car, it is in silver with a sort of denim blue interior. The only slight concern i have is the car rides superbly until it goes over a patch of broken tar or a motorway expansion joint and i get quite a loud thump noise from the front suspension, no rattle , nor can you fell anything through the suspension or steering, just the noise, it is like the tyres are pumped up to 43psi instead of 33psi . The only things that i will have to put right are the passengers headlight is pointing to the ground and i will have to find out how to adjust them, the drivers door will unlock but not lock the central door locking, which i take it will be a switch on the lock, i have no remote for the car and i don't know if i will be able to buy one or not and i will have to get a replacement for the dreaded temp/clock LCD display, also i will need to get a Drivers manual for the car so i can figure out how to work some of the goodies on the car :D . Sorry for the long ramble for a first post.
