I have introduced myself in the new members section but I came here for help with my LS400 (how good are these cars!!!!)
Well, I love the car, so smooth and well built, really chuffed, got her stupidly cheap too.
I'm getting her ready for an mot.
Problem 1.
I think the parking brake may be sticking a bit (car was dry stored for nearly 4 years) I can't hear or feel anything when moving the car, when parking brake is engaged
It really does nothing when I put it on (getting about 4 clicks on the foot pedal, is this normal?), car can easily be driven forward.
Can anyone help with info on how I can adjust/repair this problem.
It may need cables/shoes/pads, not a problem to fit for me, where can I buy what's needed.
The parking brake light stays on at the dash.
Problem 2.
The electric mirrors are being really stubborn, when I first got the car they didn't work at all, then after lots of try's they did work, both of them and adjusted properly
I unlocked the car with the key and the alarm went off and engine wouldn't turn over, but I noticed the driver mirror doing a wee dance and making lots of clicking noises.
I replaced the 3v battery in key, unlocked car and everything worked except the mirrors. could it be a fuse, where can i find this fuse if it is?
Problem 3. The dash dimmer lights only work sometimes, I'll try to describe the problem.
Start car, normal dash lights (dimmer set about half before full illumination click on dash knob) put on sidelights the dash only sometimes dims, put headlights on the dash always dims but
only after a few seconds have passed. Today it wouldn't dim at all, switched off car, restarted car and dash lights dimmed.
Thank you in advance for helping this noob out, great forum. cheers Alan.
