Hi Pete,
I followed the guide in this link (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-3rd-gen-2001-2006/329133-check-vsc-vsc-off-9.html ) and received the VSC 51 error code, which I then tracked down here (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls-3rd-gen-2001-2006/477707-display-says-check-vsc-codes-are-39-and-51-a.html ).
Is there anything else you recommend to extract the error codes? My car seems to be running fine, and on reading the information floating around, if its just that it takes a bit longer for the o2 sensor to read, that seems to be okay from what I can tell, but then that's only based on my feeling of how the car normally runs. Who knows whats really going on in there?
On a related note, I rang Lexus Croydon today, to be told the hourly rate for labour is £186. I nearly fell off my chair.
Would you be able to post any part numbers for the o2 sensor? I'm happy to buy them and get a local garage to install.
Many years ago I swapped my rims out, and the set I got weren't the same. They looked great, but it wasnt original. The pro was that it was very quick and the car was basically back with me within an afternoon. The con was that the rims had changed to an aftermarket set, which looked a bit different. I think a few days wait to retain the originals seems like a good outcome, if you can wait that long.
Thanks,
Rob
