Panic over. Maurice has appeared on what I think may be his white charger - called Paypal. :lol: Sorted. Not bad in a couple of hours. Thanks Maurice :winky: Rod

Hi Peeps I have managed to scrape the lower bumper off my MkIV whilst reversing out of a tight spot and over a curb - there is more to the story that I don't care to share :blush: So I am looking for a front bumper cover/lower skirt (the one that holds the fog lights and front number plate) for a Mk4? I have PM'd Maurice but the urgency has prompted me to also ask anyone here if they can help me to source said item. If you really want to make my prayers come true black would be good. ;) Cheers Rod

:blush: :blush: Bugger Got it wrong again then Rod

Thanks Steve - another mystery solved Chris - the rear windows are tinted. The original owner had the tinted glass fitted and the premium 19 speaker Mark Levinson ICE as well as the Fox alloys. AND I often go out wearing black slacks and a black shirt B) B) B) AND one of the young girls who works in the office at my golf club has asked me if she can be one of my bitches - she had to explain this :blush: AND I have been taking lessons to say YO! YOU DISSIN' MA WHEEEELS BRO? I'LL HAVE TO SET MY HOMMIES ON YOU! its a 'G' thing word out respect man :lol: :lol: Rod

Thanks guys Those thoughts confirm mine. No - I do not think that it has ever had air suspension but your reference to the location of the headlight leveling thingy behind the rear wheel sounds the most probable so far Beavis. Pimpmobile B) B) B) B) Here it is The Acre I have had to change my image from grumpy old man to Pimpman. Rod

The pimpmobile passed its MOT today. Not really surprising as it has only done 1530 miles since the last one. :lol: But there is an advisory which states "Suspension Level Valve broken" which is baffling me. The mechanic was busy on another job when I asked the garage to explain. As far as I am aware my car does not have self leveling suspension and this advisory is a mystery. Thanks Rod

OK Guys I am in process of buying a house which has an old garage where I will be able to keep my baby safe. B) The garage is 22’deep and 11’6 wide inside BUT it has a sectional electric door fitting to a 7’0 wide opening which my car won’t go through. So I need to purchase a wider door, preferably 9’0” to 10’0” (2743mm to 3m) wide and preferably one which will work with the existing opener – the 850 model shown on this Easygates site. http://www.easygates.co.uk/motorlift-garage-openers.asp Has anyone here got any advice about where to get a suitable garage door? My neighbour has offered to do all necessary brickwork and put in any necessary lintel. It has to be a sectional door as the garage butts onto the pavement. PS - There is a 3.5" x 2" blanking plate just above the handbrake (sic) release lever which I believe covers an open pocket for the garage remote. Can someone advise that if I prize this cover off there is definitely a recess behind it. I should hate to end up with a hole in the facia Thanks Rod

Hi Lewis My steering wheel function stopped working 'on the key' quite suddenly over a year ago and after a lot of fiddling about I discovered that it, and some problems with the immobiliser not setting were simply a 'heads up' that the main battery was on the blink. An overnight battery charge restored everything to normal. Of course it may not be the battery in your case but I thought I would share my experience as it might save you an awful lot of time. :winky: Rod

Hi Andy Not sure how I would identify the photochromatic glass. If it helps there are various numbers stamped on the base:- III E6 inside a circle next to 019243 Then e6 inside a rectangle followed by 02*9243 Hope this helps. Drop me a PM if you are interested. Rod

You are right Mark I bought the power folding door mirror which is reputed to come off a circa 1994 LS400 for under £30 plus £10 p+p but whilst it looked the same as my Mk4 it is actually quite different. On the bright side, my bodyman has an apprentice who spends his spare time as a chav messing about with cars and he has brought my existing mirror back to life. So - does anyone want the mirror I just bought? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310282361752&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT Rod

Thanks Steve Top advice as we have come to expect from you :winky: Regards Rod

OK you parts geru's - I have been offered a power folding door mirror which is reputed to come off a circa 1994 LS400. I thought that the power folding option was only offered on the Mk4. If I am wrong, all I can say is that the picture of the one I have been offered looks remarkably like the one on my Mk4. In any event, do you think that the internal mechanical bits would swap over to my mirror? Thanks in anticipation Rod

:tomato: Super fast reply from Maurice - thanks for that. He has a Mk3 door mirror which, needless to say with this wonderful machine of ours is quite different to the Mk4. Rod

Cheers Malc I knew there was someone but my search skills are a bit limited. I will PM Maurice :winky: Rod

Hi Guys Went to collect my Mk4 LS400 from my bodyman who had sprayed the whole of the near side where some retard had keyed it just before Christmas. Whilst he had it I asked him to respray the door mirrors which had become 'mottled' and also the o/s corner of the back bumper where some delightful young thing had dinged it with her tank and buggered off. All in all £820 for cash - it would have been a lot more with insurers involved. Trouble is that when he took the door mirrors off, something inside broke on the nearside one and he is beside himself with embarassed depite me saying that these things happen. So what I need is the squarish plastic plate that sits behind the actual mirror - or any of the guts that I can find. Needless to say the resprayed outer casing is perfect. Just to remind you - it is the nearside door mirror - LS400 Mk4 - 1998 Any help would be appreciated - especially by my bodyman Cheers Rod
