My LPG fitter said a lot of problems some people get with LS400/430 LPG systems is simply down to too small a feed pipe from tank to engine, the fitters save moiney by fitting a 6mm pipe instead of a 8mm.

Smashed window, opened bonnet charged battery car works fine now just need a new window fitted.

I saw an aston martin DB7 with L plates once, that surprised me. My rigth mirror on my Mk4 LS400 doesn't move with the switch and occasionally dips for no reason, also doesn't demist left is fine. any ideas? door doesn't line up perfect with door frame/wing so i think it's had a minor knock at some point and possivly water is getting in somewhere?

yes i think you missed something. thanks for the search suggestion and the trickle charging bit but i can only find threads saying that works for LS430's not 400's.

thanks but i'm not going to claim for a pair of door locks it'll either write the car off or give me £5 after the exvess is paid i expect lol.

Even if you drill the door locks on a Mk3 LS400 they stil won't let you in...... bad news.... battery is flat so i can't get in using my remote. any ideas on how to access the car or get some juice into the battery so i can use the remote fob. PM if it's security related please. many thanks john P.S.Other good news is i have a Mki4 which i got for £920 :) taking ti for LPG tomorrow :)

i think the Jaguar XJ220 they found in TWR after it went bust is registered as an 03 plate dispite being made in 92 i think it was.

tow a light caravan with mine (1.1tonnes) watling engineering towbar fitted by mobile fitter £300 all in. It's a great twcar you really don't notice the load on the back without going up very steep roads.

I've never had a light come on with my install for whats its worth been on car for 33k now.

Fiat Panda mk1/2(the new 2003 one is a mk3) and Seat Marbella (same car). Group 1 very very cheap.

try to keep all 4 tyrs the same or the ABS can throw a wobbley and cut in when the brakes are workign normally and not locing up causing you to lose braking ability.

thanks a lot :)

How much oil does it take to fill up the rear diff? My old diff sprung a leak so got a new one but it needs filling up as i asked for it to be draind before collection. Does the gearbox use same oil? Does anyone quantities and how much Lexus want for there oil(s)? do i need any kind of filter for Gearbox as well as the oil? Mk3 1995 LS400 many thanks

try to get sky to match adrian flux etc, switching to 3rd party can save a few bob too, i'm paying £290 TPFT on a LPG (+£100 fire excess) MK3 LS400 with a CAT 1 alarm with Sky, they give a discount for being a member of the owners vlub (not just GOLD).

thanks baz, I'm going up this afternoon i didnt realise how close simon is to me. £15 is more then the LPG to get there and back
