  1. I was hoping for a step by step guide. But at £300 for both sides I think that's a bargain
  2. How much would it cost for fitting
  3. Alittle late but for all those out there, thechameleongroup, on ebay.
  4. Hi, could you let me know which website had the instructions. I have been attempting the removal but have only managed to release the lower two bolts. The ac unit has two small screws facing down towards the chassis you did not mention there removal. Is this unneccessary. Asif

    Hi Chaz, I have changed one of the oxygen sensors, highlighted by the engine light, yet still only manage between 16-19 mpg. As I mentioned before the mileage is in the rush hour, 3 miles to work and back. This gives 230-240 miles per tank. However in the first week of June I drove to Manchester and Hull giving me a range of 390 before the low fuel indicator came on. Even then I just managed to squeeze 63 litres in compared to the usual 68-70 litres. Proof again that this is a motorway cruiser. Asif.
  6. Hi All, I think the chassis and suspension are not designed for that kind of power. The model to go for would surely be the ISF. Suppose you might stick on a couple of nitrous.
  7. Oh yes ,i've had them fitted,and are working fine.the sensors all send out a reading ,and the car finds that reading.In your hand book states were your reset,and program are,the rest is a walk in the park.One of my m8', used the old sensor ,took them off and fitted them to his new wheel,and had no problems.his sensor were on his car for 3 years, and came off easy.hope u win with yours B) I've check the sensor and they all have the same part numbers.by turning your sensors off,u might lose your pre-crash,EBD systems , which all work on the same system,before turning your system off, find out more from dealer. :o Hi Terry, Any chance of showing a step by step on resetting the sensors. Oh and where to buy them. Thanks, Asif Hi Asif,I bought my sensor at a Lexus main dealer in the states,the sensor are the same as used by all the toyota and lexus models that have the system fitted which are the SE-L.The step by step reset is ,hold reset button until CHECH SYSTEM comes on,wait for system check then select 1 or 2 .and thats job done.make sure the car is NOTdriven before doing this.Hope this helps B) Thanks Terry, I hope its as easy as that. Is the reset button in the glove box or the one on the dash?

  9. Julie i have helped many people turn off the sensors on their SC430, but Lexus wont help as they are classed as safety feature. Drop me your email and i can give you information with direction on how to do this. IAN Hi Ian, Could you pass on how to deactivate the tyre pressure sensors, as no other tyre/wheel choice can be made. Many thanks, ASif email: sfmotors@hotmail.co.uk

    Hi Mat, Two of the ls400s were petrol only and I found 3000 mile oil changes effected the ease of starting and helped on consumption. The third ls400 had a gas conversion costing £1280. Unfortunately I ignored the rule of running the engine on petrol every third tank. Resulting in shattered valves, ouch! 25-27 mpg was the average around town even when they reached 200000. I'll have to wait and see how I can improve on the SC.

    Hi Ian, I bought my car at the end February, from a car dealer in Stockport, " Dace motor co." Quite a few niggles. Electric aerial, interior lights, tyre pressure warning light, damaged rear tail pipe, swimming pool in the boot, cam-belt due, parking sensors. All of which have been successfully corrected, apart from the reverse parking sensors. Oh the battery failed twice, maybe due to being parked up at the garage for a long period. "Battery aid" tablets may have hopefully remedied this. At the moment most of the mileage is in the rush hour in Leeds, hence 16-17 mpg. Although the initial drive from Manchester to Leeds showed 37 mpg. The mileage showing was 111622, the previous service showing 91000. Unfortunately showing the neglect of the vehicle. Having owned two LS 400s I may be able to revive the V8 to better mpg. Thanks, Asif

    Intown fuel consumption is around that figure. For a very slight improvement use higher octane fuel and regular use of injector cleaners. To achieve around 20 mpg.
  13. The best way to keep the car in peak condition is change the oil and filter every 3000 miles. After your third change the oil will be virtually clear and the most marked difference will be effortless starting.
