2009 LS460 Air Suspension longevity thoughts.
The-Acre replied to Mile_High_Flyer's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h ClubWith my last LS, two air struts failed due to oil leaks rather than air bags. And I agree, there isn't anything you can do to prolong the life. It's just a shame that they're very expensive units.

Transmission whirr
The-Acre replied to R500h's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h ClubI guess a couple of obvious questions to ask are, is it a car you're planning to buy, or have you owned it for some time!

CVT Fluid change?
It's the same with my Volvo, the main dealer isn't interested! They say "sealed for life" find an indi.

Future for Hydrogen cars
In my defence, I didn't say there was a globalist agenda against hydrogen, just an agenda to, as I said, force us to go all electric rather than allowing us to have a choice, just like I want the choice everywhere I shop to use or not use cash, it's a choice we don't currently have. Try buying a coffee in London with cash!

Future for Hydrogen cars
We can't have it because it doesn't fit with the globalist agenda to force everyone to drive electric or drive us off the road altogether, either option will keep them happy, until the next time!

2006 LS430 - Another Coolant Leak!
The-Acre replied to Dom2002's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h ClubWhat were the holes plugged with, and what was used to make a water and pressure tight seal?

Surely the best colour ever for the GS!- Winter fuel payment
I couldn't agree more, and I can't help thinking things aren't about to improve much. Maybe we should arrange a mass Lexus fan migration to North Korea as an experiment, just for sake of comparison to see if the devil we know is better or not!🤮- Winter fuel payment
Interesting times, in a slightly concerning way!- Winter fuel payment
I think it's very telling that a union wants to take legal action against a Labour government!- Winter fuel payment
I think a little light digging will reveal that "the Blair creature" as Peter Hitchens calls him, will reveal Blair as major puppet master of the the present government/regime. He's well and truly back I'm afraid!- Winter fuel payment
If the so called triple lock continues, and the threshold before you pay tax doesn't rise, and they seem to be keeping that as low as possible, it won't be long before the state pension is taxed. But surely that wouldn't ever happen would it.......- Winter fuel payment
It might be more of a shuffle than a march! I'm not convinced 2 million pensioners on a shuffle/march would have any effect on this tunnel vision government. Every day that passes is one day less to the next general election, let's hope people learn from this, although I fear there's more to come!- High Mileage 2008 LS600hl
The-Acre replied to anoldls's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h ClubYou will love the pulling power of the GS450h!!- High Mileage 2008 LS600hl
The-Acre replied to anoldls's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h ClubThe hybrid batteries can be reconditioned at a fraction of the cost of replacement. Still a risky buy though!- Winter fuel payment
"extenuating circumstances/out of the ordinary" My guess would be "climate change" it's the government's (and the BBC's) go to excuse for everything.- Rust concerns...
Yes, it smells like sheep!- Rust concerns...
Lanoguard is brilliant, and so easy to apply.- Buy ls 400 year 1994 whit 3 problems
The-Acre replied to frangijon's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h ClubI disagree with that. I've had LS's with air suspension and LS's without, and I believe the very best and smoothest ride was the LS400 without air. Even if the air system did hold air, on a car of that age it'll be on borrowed time. The fuse for the suspension on the LS430 is in the engine bay on the passenger side (right hand drive) along with various other fuses and is marked inside the cover, perhaps the 400 is the same? The compressor that pumps the suspension is under the wheel arch cover on the opposite side.- Still worth getting an LS?
The-Acre replied to Abid221's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h ClubAnd as you will have discovered, a fairly easy job!- Winter fuel payment
The only explanation is surely some globalist agenda that we don't get to hear about. And if I'm not mistaken, isn't 22 billion the same amount as the "black hole" that ended up robbing pensioners?- Winter fuel payment
Let's hope they keep coming, especially in the light of this unholy trinity pledging 22 billion to "capture carbon" What an insult!- Malta
A few years ago we did a European road trip in my Lexus GS. In 10 days and 2,500 miles we saw 1 Lexus, an early LS, and that was it! - I have returned! (Maybe...)
