sweet cheers :)

sorting out the parking light this weekend heh

I need a center cap, as one has gone missing?

do I go to the stealer and get bent over as I cant seem to find much on eBay :(

cause i imagine it hasnt been changed and after 14 years might leak a bit.

preventative maintence, if i'm gonna change the gaskett might as well do the plug at the same time.

I assumed that the sub was the speaker in the center of the parcel shelf?

right Opie Oils has reccomended this:

not too bad a price

I've found and oil filter here:

http://www.boundville.co.uk/index.asp?func...p;productid=699

so all I need to find is a new sump plug and gaskett, should I just get one from lexus?

kewl gives me something to do this weekend :D

thats good, panic over :)

On looking at the oil its due a change.

Which type of oil and filter is best for the ls400?

Also, I might as well replace the sump plug and gaskett at the same time, where can I get one from?

yeah id agree, its just been through an mot, you;d think they would mention something

Dont worry, I've only had the car a day so know zero about it :)

it looks like a hand brake light, but what does the low brake pads light look like?

edit, looked in the owners manual and its deffo a p in a circle so parking brake.

well I have the car, its in good nic but needs an oil change its only done 10k since its last service but it appears that the last one was in 2005 >_<

so will do an oil change this weekend, how much oil does the car take and of what type?

Hello,

My hand brake light never goes off, any ideas why?

here's a shot of the hose:

I just find it strange that the car just dumps the condensation out of a hose?

I can understand condensation forming on a pipe, but having a pipe that directs the condensed water onto the ground doesnt fit with the cars image?

yesterday it put out quite alot of water, so much so that it formed a small lake.

eek elephant have bent me over :( will be cancelling the policy asap when I find someone cheaper

yeah I drove the car around for a good hour or so with the air con off and the hose didnt drip at all.

when it is on its a drip every 2 seconds, continues for a while after as well?

Hey guys just picked up my ls400

there a couple of small issues, the most concerning is that there is water (its not red so prob not coolant) driping out of a hose that is not going anywhere?

its down the o/s part of the engine, close to the o/s inner arch , i've felt around the area and there isnt a spout nearby?

I'll post some pictures in a bit, but its concerning.

Luckily I can take it back to the dealership and prob get my money back.

Does anyone know where this hose should go?

I'm collecting my first Lexus tomorrow:

93 LS400:

144k,

2 owners cambelt changed at 120k,

new mot,

new tyres

and a new coolant sensor

all for £1695 :)

Heres hoping it lasts longer then car number 6 hehe.

the thread was inspired by the "things you never knew your car could do thread" on pistonheads,

with that in mind I do't want to wait a couple of years to find out some kewl features of the car, so any tips you lovely people can give would be useful!

I'm hopefully picking up a 93 ls400 this weekend, so I am interested to hear what people like about the car,

It can be anything :)

hmm suppose its only and extra 100, hadnt thought about the windscreen replacement.

How would I go about getting the car valued?

Im undecided whether to go fully comp or tpf&f as the car is only worth 1700 and I wouldnt claim if I did break it.

what do you guys think?

tpft is £643, fully comp is £740, I wonder if I could use my mustang owners club a plan discount on this car..

Mines quite expensive atm, 600 odd, driving 5 years, 23 almost 24, 2 years ncb.

Its not bad for the type of car but not amazing.
