Hi all, just like to thank all the members who have helped the needy (us newbie amateurs).
I'm 33 and had the car 3 years (I'll admit it was a hand me down from my dad! ) But all my other cars have all been bags of nails (rusty ones too!).
its the first car I've owned and want to keep. It didn't cost me a thing until last year when the dreaded front upper control arms went - I found a good guy in Worsley, Manchester (can't find him now - sorry), and he sold and fitted the pair for half what Lexus wanted. Six months later the knocking noise returned and i was mad with him until i found it was the lower ball joints this time. which were fairly cheap.
I've got the flickering dash syndrome, but just left it and it hardly works at all now. I've just found Chris Vince and he seems to be the man to do the job - at a fair price.
Yes, i have a p/s leak too (I know i need to fix it b4 alternator packs up)
Just got the orange engine light too - apparently this is the MAF sensor and will let you know the outcome.......
Snapped the aerial in car-wash (own fault for laziness....). I have a mp3, so use the tape deck often and this doesn't have aerial up, but that day i had a cd on and forgot - Never again!
So, apart from the dash, front suspension, power steering seals, air-flow sensors, and not remembering to turn radio off when in a car wash.. are there any more common faults with the '92/'93 (K reg) LS400's?
You see, I'm just paranoid of more any more unforeseeable big bills with todays extortionate fuel bills rising by the week!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
Thanks all, i forgot the window switches playing up drivers side too - not took panel off yet anyone know if its the motors or switches - they seemed to swap from passenger didnt work, now that does and mine doesnt!! :tsktsk: By the way how do you get the pics under your names on screen, not just your in your own profile. They all look nice motors - re-sprays i presume
