Can confirm I have the same problem. Surges when the aircon kicks in and sometimes feels like you are breaking against the engine when stopping at lights junctions etc..(an ind3ed nywhere else one might wish to stop!!).

Just had mine serviced and new calipers and pads fitted and its running a dream ecxept for this surging. So I can either suffer it or Roast in our "Summer".....choices choices!!...lol

Got room for a Newbie and his Missus??....

Chaps,

I'm in Awe!. Firstly I got the Lexus. Superb!....Now ive tried this Meguiars Gold class was polish. What a dream. I got some of their scratch X to prepare. Both are superb.

Not cheap but very easy to use and give great results.....

RainX on the screen......Maguiars leather treatment for the seats....

It makes a difference to the appearance to a degree I wasnt expecting.....

Ahh well off to get some new sunglasses.....its too dazzling for the naked eye

Hiya chaps.....As the problem seems to center around the USB connection, I would humbly suggest somthing like a broadband router. Netgear do some good one. I personally use a dlink DSL-504. Cost around £90 and superb reliability.

Shaffiq,

I was thinking of MER but after reading one or two comments decided against as it is somewhat abrasive. Can only be used twice a year or so. Ive opted for the Maguiars. ....but havent applied it yet so cant advise. Either way....enjoy the car. They are something else....!!!)havent worked out what else yet but I'm working on that one)

peeps,

Ive been reading a number of comments from a couple of months ago ref LPG conversion. Chris mentioned Burnt out valves as a possible consequence.

When it comes to warranty implied or otherwise if a car is of the mid nineties genre.....what is the down side to converting?. We have no warranty as such....or am I missing something.

I am a newbie when it comes to the lexus so ask the question in all humility and not having a poke at anyone .....just asking ....honest mister.......please dont bash me ed in......I'll tell me mam!!!

I would seriously recommend going for gold membership and speaking to the broker offering discountsed deals on Lexus insurance. I saved a small fortune on the web based quotes I was getting and the guys at this company take a more individualistic( does that word exist or have I just become a dad again?).

BEst move I ever made...and I am no ore than a member...and a new one at that . I no connection with the club other than my membership....

Success....Many thanks Chaps.....Turner has it in spades....just by the boot n petrol release...

I can rest easy now. I was beginning to feel Id been ripped off. No coin try...Pha!!

Cheers once again fellas....

HEres one for you fellas....

We have all purchased (or are soon to do so) a rather special vehicle....Its somwhat of a great day for us all.

I have indeed adopted a rather nice ls400 into our family and tho I would never wish to complain about any aspect of its behavious I Do have one one very minor problem...

ICANT FIND THE COIN TRAY!!!!

Im buggered if I can find it and didnt even notice until needing to find somewhere to stick the pound coin retrieved from a shopping trolley at the supermarket...(Aldi....You need to watch the pennies!!...PS can highley recommed the vegatable balti....superb with the Nan Breads...)

Anyway back to the thread....Has Anyone else found this elusive articcle ...is it me just being numb??

:iraqi-info-minister:

I have a D-Link DSL-504. Its the mutts as we say in technical circles!...lol

Its cost effective with a l0ot tof the features the vigour has but without the cost. (bout half the price). Vigor is excellent kit if your budget can runto it ...if not Use the d-link.....I do and Ive been doin this job for years....n years....n years.....is it time for my walk now nurse......!.......

[bDear Lexus owners.

My father has an imported Lexus Ls400 95 (M) plate. He has had this car for almost 3 years now.

Although it has a 4 litre engine, it hardly uses any fuel. The fuel economy is even better than my 1.8 litre C180 Elegence MERCEDES.

He has now just bought a 98 UK GS300 SE ® Plate.I must say the 3 litre GS300 uses far more petrol than the LS400.

WHY?

The GS300 gives about 250 miles combined for £50 petrol. Whereas the Ls400 gives about 400 miles for the same petrol.

Is it something to do with the LS being an import, or is it because the 4 litre engine is more refined?

or is it simply that the uk GS300 is maybe heavier in weight?

Please help me.

Nadeem.

Ive just bought an LS400....april 95 mark III. Its returning a combined 29.4 based on 374Miles....Then topping up the tank. I dont gun it all obver the plac but am no slouch either. Just enjoy the smoot uptake and the Glide.

Not done any long runs in it yet...the firdst is tomorrow to the lake ditrict about 240 tound trip with a lot of country lanes etc. Will report back maybe tuesday and let you know what it returning....

Happy Moting lads n lasses!!!
