    Picked up a 1998 Ls400 with paint code 941 Antique Silver. Anyone has one with the same colour? First time I've seen this colour and I've seen quite a few :)

    Hi Stuart, Thanks for your offer to help. No not gearboxes :) It's a passenger seat and front wing. Rather large items so maybe that's why. The courier I always use will collect the seat, but refuses to take the wing. I'm still shopping around to find a courier that will take both.

    Is anyone located near Red Lodge, Bury St Edmonds, Suffolk? There is a vehicle dismantler there who has parts I need for my Ls400, but won't courier them...... Parts are already paid for.

    Unfortunately not. Instead I fitted a double din app unit

    Welcome back Jason. I still say you're mad :) :) ...but congrats on buying such a pristine example.

    Tim, See below picture. The left socket is under the bonnet, the right one is the Diagnostic port underneath driver's side dash. I used the one under the bonnet - easier access.

    To be honest it's not really single figure mpg. I get around 15-18 mpg driving locally. I live quite rural so no city driving involved

    I too really like the shape of the 460. For now I have bought a square box 4x4, but who knows when summer comes I'll be on the look out for a 460
  9. Ruud
    Oh no. I wouldn't dare leave you guys :)

    Mark, I have actually been quite good lately :) Have had the mk1 from June. Took out a new policy for the Celsior and changed that to the RR.
  11. Ruud
    Indeed, the V8 has a nice sound and the air suspension does make it a very smooth ride. There are plenty of horror stories about the RR P38 air bags but mine were recently replaced along with a new compressor so I should be good :)

    Bought a 2001 Range Rover Vogue for the winter. Also a V8, but not as refined as the 1UZ-FE ....

    Not sure I'll envy anyone who paid that amount for a Ls400 :)
  14. Ruud
    I don't like to compare the Legend to the Ls400. Cheap plastic trim and the ride is nowhere near the same.
  15. Ruud
    Not really. The mileage shown on the DVLA site is the mileage recorded by the MOT tester,

    :) In the US they like to put Celsior badges on a Ls400
  17. Ruud
    Celsior does have it's own badge, but here in the UK people like to put a Lexus badge on instead. In the US it's the other way around :)

    The '95 might also still work with TIS Techstream. Steve, The link to the TCCS diagnostic is in Japanese, but I'm sure you'll manage to translate it :) You'll find it about halfway down the page. http://celsiorup.com/custom20/2099RadarCruise4.htm

    The ls400 is a very complex car when it comes to reading faults. The number of ECUs is too much for generic code readers. However, you can get Toyota TIS Techstream mini VCi rather cheap on ebay and that works perfectly. Alternatively you can get the codes using the TCCS method. Bridging 2 pins on the connector and read the codes on the dash. On the earlier models this is achieved by counting the times a light flashes, on the mk4 you can get the actual codes displayed on the multi info display by pressing the 'function' button.

    hahahaha @ the exhaust :D
  21. Ruud
    Definitely worth a look @ 1500. Worth a buy at £1500 too I would say
  22. Ruud
    Ambermarine. I bet you didn't pay £12995 for it though :)

    My Celsior must be a 430 then :) I do agree with the steering wheel motor making a little noise. All my previous 400's did this. The Celsior's is completely quiet though.

    Problem I have is that I don't see a very low mileage Ls400 be any better than one with 150k on the clock. Maybe that's the case with other old cars, but not with the Ls400. Hence I don't see why it has to be 5 or 6 times more expensive. I've had a 45k 1993 Ls and a 215k also 1993 - I couldn't tell the difference in day to day driving..... Ok so maybe you need to replace the UCA's or a few ball joints on the higher mileage car, but you can buy a hell of a lot of suspension parts for £10k :)
  25. Ruud
    wow 4k and still several days to go. I have put mine up for sale wayyyyy to cheap :(
