Hi all. Hope it hasn't been discussed before. I've ordered a very cool device from the United Arab Emirates that let's you have USB AUX bluetooth streaming and SD card capability in your LS430 for £120 all in. I think that's great value and probably cheaper than the Vaistech that's available from the US. And it's just plug and play. No need to cut any wiring The company is called FOX AUTO TECHNOLOGY. Type in FOX AUTO TECHNOLOGY in YouTube Will update as soon as I've received it.

Yes it is green. It is probably the one that you had. The alloys are in need of refurbishment and yes I have replaced the rear bearing and serviced it when I got it. I spent nearly £800 on it in the first week to fully get up to scratch. Did you get it serviced at Japex? If so would it be possible for you to get hold of the service history print outs for me? It will help me greatly if it goes through the write off route..

Yes indeed well looked after. I'm still using it now cz it's still solid but a tad unsightly due to the headlight. May end up buying it back because it's been looked after so well. is this the gold one where you wrote in the ad " please no silly offers as I can break it for more" or words to that effect? It's a green/grey colour. A very gentleman colour I would say

I'll keep you posted on developments. But I seriously have a feeling it'll be written off. I just hope my payout is decent if it comes to that. Any ideas on what a 2004 (53 plate) Ls430 is actually worth? Full meticulous history. 1 owner. 248k miles. Beautiful green/gray color. Grey leathers. I would give it 8/10 condition rating for interior and exterior condition...?

Hello everyone I recently purchased a high milage LS430 (249k miles) for £3k.(might have been a little too much to pay.. May be .?) Anyways it has full history etc etc and is in good condition. A few days ago I was unfortunately involved in an accident. Not so serious. The damage is to the front passenger headlight, wing, and bumper and may be 1 or 2 sensors. After the accident I have noticed that my brake lights stay on. when I lock the car, then after a minute they turn back on again. What do you think is the problem? In addition, I have noticed that the rear passenger suspension might be malfunctioning. The distance between the tyre and the body is smaller in comparison to the other sides. Any ideas on what the problem may be? Do you think it's all related to the accident that I had? The insurance company will be sending an assessor to check out the car on Monday. Do you think I should mention these problems to him/her? So the current problems I am facing are: 1) brake lights stay on 2) passenger side rear suspension is malfunctioning (this is the side that also sustained damage in the accident) Many thanks

Thanks ManicMark. I had thought that LPG technology has advanced to its peak but now i'm rather disappointed. It's a good thing I don't need to drive much but hopefully the guys at Stags can cook something for us direct injection system geezers -
What Is This?

thanks for the reply and the info. It is indeed an imported LS400. I know that because it says it on the logbook and the fact that Toyota is written all over it! Even the touch screen inside displays CELSIOR when i start it up. thanks -
Hi, I've noticed a tank in front of my radiator that is filled with blue liquid. I had thought that it may be the tank for the screen wash however, i've been using the screen wash many times but the liquid still remains I also do not have head light washers on my car. (check out the pictures) It's the tank with the black lid. (ignore the blue top bottle - that's for the LPG system) thanks

For £400 I would go for it more than £200 in parts there genuine( seems a bargain to me) Absolute bargain -
Hi, I find it strange that my local dealer refuses to work on my car. I have a LS400 which was imported from Japan. (It's a 1999 Toyota Celsior) I phoned my local Lexus dealer to ask for a quote on a cam belt change. As soon as they learnt that it is an import they refused to give me a quote. They say that they do not work on imported vehicles. Do you think Toyota might carry out the work? Has anybody faced this problem? Does anyone know any reputable garage that can look after my Lexus. Many thanks

Hi, I have an LS400 (1999). It's got only 70,000 miles on it. Was imported from Japan a few years ago. I have notice something....When I am on a hill or stopped at a traffic light on a hilly road..the car moves back. I am sure that an automatic car is not supposed to roll back because when it's on 'D' it is always in first gear.. or am i just guessing..or i dont know anything about automatics.. your help is most appreciated.
