That is Northern Ireland reg which is UK, or someone has put a NI reg on so the car doesn't show it's ageAlan

Try a FM Modulater which uses a low FM 88.3-89.3 band, It has a stereo output to a DVD Player etc. You might need an inline suppressor Alan

Yes, but it only does it when it is cold. Alan

I have just moved house & my drive is a steep hill, if I reverse down & try to go up again it takes about 5 seconds for the transmision to change. Do I need an oil change, if so can I do it my self. The car is 1991 370,000 full service by Lexus, I have put 6,000 miles on from when I bought it a year a ago Many Thanks Alan
-
Thanks I will try that.

I had the same problem opening the doors, is there something you can put on the rubber seal to stop it sticking. Alan

Thanks for the replies, I will look into it, It only does that if it has been sitting for more than a day, after that 2/3 seconds is all it takes. My local Lexus dealer where I bought it said that when the previous owner purchased it from them new he was intending to keep it for 2 years, he kept for 12 years. They worked out that he spent £65,000 on servicing, £78,000 on fuel plus the price of the car £40,000, total is £183,000, over 12 years is £15,250 per year. I bought the car for £2,000 a year ago & it drives like a dream. :P Alan

My 1991 400ls with 400,000miles, on the first start in the morning it takes about 10 seconds for it to catch, is this normal or is there a fuel return valve ( or something) which is weak Thanks Alan

Boot Release
alanuk400 replied to den's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h Club
Is there anyway of changing the release so you don't have to switch the engine off before the interior release button will work (92 LS400 ) very annoying when stopping to pickup with shopping in traffic. Alan :D -
I have changed the fuse ,it is a long job. The spades of the fuse are about 4" long, there are 2 8mm bolts holding it in which are hard to access, you have to unbolt the fusebox it'self & take plastic covers off . Alan

Sorry, I was talking about the owners handbook Alan

Your local Lexus garage should for a few pound get you one. Alan

Yes, it only had a crack in it, it has been like that from when I bought the car. I will pull it with a pair of long nose pliers. The cold weather must have something to do with it, the bonnet landed on my head so I need struts, I know that on the US site there is a cheap way of getting them, does anyone know of a cheap supplier in the UK Alan
-
I think I have found the problem, a large white square 120 amp fuse in the main fusebox had been broken & the wires were just touching. I can't get it out of the holder, should it just pull up or do all four come out as a unit. Thanks Alan :D
-
I went back out & tried it after about 1 hour, everything was ok.The same thing happened again tonight. At the weekend I had fitted a reversing aid from Argos £30, that is wired through one of the reversing lights, I unpluged it after the second time but is was still the same. The only thing is working is the front & interior lights. Alan

My 92 LS400 Has suddenly developed these symptoms. On taking out the key after driving the steering wheel didn't retract in, so I put the key back in, no dash,gearlever,rear lights. The only lights are headlights,no indicators,reversing or breaklights.Car started & drove, power steering was heavy, no central locking. If I try anything I can here a slight clicking. Can anyone help Thanks Alan
-
Thanks, I will do that. Alan

The brake waning light has just come on, I have checked the fluid & it is ok, is it a sign that I need pads, the book said refer to dealer. Alan
-
I had a problem paying for them so I haven't received them yet, but I took the yellow fog lights from under the bumper & took them apart & smashed the yellow covering over the bulb, the lights are at least 60% brighter and I don't blind other drivers on country roads :D Alan
-
Thanks anyway Alan
-
Would any of those work in an aftermaket DVD player, just for bringing the maps up. Alan :)

I found the page on ebay & succesfully bidded $20 + $20.95 for international shipping, I hope I have done the right thing. I will let you know when I get them. http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?c...ery=LS400+Clear I got the ones for the wings from a car parts shop for £10 Alan :P
-
Thanks I will have a look. I was hoping there was a UK company that would be able to help. Alan :D
-
Its handy to know they fit anyway, I forgotten about those. Alan
