Hi all just really looking for a consensus of opinion. I have a 1997 LS400 Auto with 280k on the clock, its been well serviced upto 220k by lexus since then it appears servicing was neglected. I'm slowly rectifying all the problems but this one puzzles me a bit. When cold the car has plenty of power and changes nicely through the box and even for a while when the engine has reached working temperature it's ok but once really warmed up the car doesn't really fly until it has got over 2500 rpm or so. When accelerating moderately so not requiring kick down you can feel the car "surging" for want of a better word. At first i thought it was an engine issue so replaced air filter and thoroughly cleaned TB but not an awful lot of difference, so I'm now thinking maybe the ATF is in desperate need of a change, has anybody done a fluid change and noticed dramatic difference? I'm happy to do a flush of the ATF following the procedure on the lexls.com site but just wondered what others think. thanks

be great to see this back on the road, maybe i'll see you about. if you need parts you won't go far wrong than contact Maurice on stage-1@tiscali.co.uk this guy offers outstanding service on recycled parts.

Iphone... :D why?

Well i finally succumbed and will be collecting my LS400 on Friday(tomorrow). I drove these years ago as a chauffer and fell in love with them from day one, so following some advice of buying newer but high mileage rather than older but lower mileage??? i've got myself a nice clean looking 1997 400 with a young and healthy 250k on the clock, not particularly bothered knowing the excellence of these cars and the fact it has 21 lexus service stamps in the book... Here are a couple of pictures sent by the seller first jobs will be to refurb alloys then clear front indicators, then just enjoy for a while...
