Hi and thanks for reading this! I am new and have asked a few questions already, so hope that it is OK to ask another topic? The boot release doesn't appear to work from inside the car, nor does the button on the keyfob appear to work. I am sure that I am doing this right and wonder if there is an obvious problem. Could there be a fuse that has gone. etc? Kindest regards and hope that I haven't operated outside the rules of the LOC. I have searched this topic in vain. David

Hi I love the park design and agree that it is a superb idea especially as I am sure it improves the drag coefficient. The problem with my car is that the wipers often bang down hard to the stop by the bonnet and then crash into the windsreen pillar. Further sweeps will be exactly as Lexus intended. Then the cycle starts again and the impact is quite dramatic. It isn't the length of the blades that appears to be the problem, it is the swept area which is often too great. I really appreciate your help on both these topics and wonder if the 'major strip down' for the replacement bulbs is beyond an amateur? The panel is perfectly clear during the day. Kindest regards and the LOC forum is great!

Hi I wonder if anyone could help me with 2 problems I have noticed with my latest acquisition - 1997 LS400. I am amazed with the quality and performance and intend to keep this vehicle for a little while - without going too mad! 1. The windscreen wipers sometimes bash to the left and the right of the windscreen and sometimes just bash one side. At other times, especially on intermittent, the wipers stop at a slightly higher level, only to park lower when switched off. I cannot detect a pattern for this, except to say that when on continual wiper setting, the wipers always seem to bash the horizontal, rather than stopping at the higher setting. Does that make any sense?! 2. At night I can barely read the display that shows the temperature settings for left and right, and wonder if a bulb is out. Is it a simple method to fix? Kindest regards

Hi thats about right for a towbar with twin electrics ( tow equipe I presume ) you wont need the oil cooler. Its a good 6 hours to fit it, Good luck Mark Lexus quoted me 1 hour for the fitting of the oil cooler! Not tow equipe but I did a little bit of haggling with the manufacturer! Many thanks for your kind help.

That's great news, thanks as I will be taking it gently! I am very new to Lexus ownership and am most grateful for you and the Owners Club

I have just bought a 97 LS400 and am really pleased so far! I hope to tow and have found a tow bar inc electrics for £271.62, but am stumped with the autobox oil cooler. Lexus want £461.89 plus vat and fitting. I will be towing a very small 2 berth caravan at 60 mph about 200 miles each way on the motorway in the UK. Do I really need an oil cooler and if so does anyone know a more cost effective place to buy one? Is the tow bar good value as it includes twin electric pack, ball etc? Thanks and this is my first question. Have really enjoyed reading some of the excellent answers. Kindest regards in anticipation!
