    Looking For Ls400

    in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h Club

    Posted

    I've got a MK4 that I am now selling.

    Its a 1998 in Gold

    216k on the clock

    Cambelt changed at 201k in 2009

    Aircon Regassed about a month ago, it didn't really need it, but it just didn't feel right - OK Now

    MOT til November

    Tax til end Sept (I think)

    Looking for no less than £900 for it.

    Reason for sale is I have bought a caravan that we store in the New Forest and I just can't afford to keep running down there in the LS, so I've bought myself a diesel.

    PM me if interested, or call me on 0784 1863368.

    Car is based in Reading, Berks and ready to go.

    Thanks

    Aa Repair Cover For £12.82Pm

    I have just joined the AA after buying a road legal quad bike and wanting cover for both that and my car.

    I did see the Repair Cover, but thought it would be full off loopholes and get out clauses, so just went for the straight roadside and recovery, for which I am paying £7.21 per month.

    I'm not saying it is a farse, it's just that I was worried about how good it would really be and too lazy to find out. In principle, I must say, it sounds amazing??

    Thanks

    Well,

    I've had a mad day of it today.

    I ordered a new relay from Maurice (thanks mate it turned up today) and fitted it today. The drivers light went out after about 20 minutes, so this evening I......

    Bypassed the relay

    bypassed the fuse and fuse box

    Fed a new earth feed directly to the ballast pack, thus bypassing all the car's - wiring

    Fed a new live feed directly to the ballast pack, thus bypassing all the car's + wiring

    All this LED me to one conclusion......it MUST be the bulb, even though it's been doing it since I fitted it. So as a last attempt to pinpoint the problem, I swapped the bulbs...now the passenger's headlight goes out after about 20mins, proving it's the bulb.

    So what's the chances of driving home one day and your drivers light goes out after 20mins. You buy a new set of bulbs and replace them. 20 mins after switching the lights on, the drivers light goes out, leading me to think it's something else....Just goes to show, just because something is new, it's not a certainty that it's fault free.

    I have asked the eBay seller to send me another bulb and when/if he does and I fit it, I will test the lights to prove my theory and confirm to you.

    Thanks

    OK, I've got an update and a new question.

    Today, I have swapped over the ballast packs and the fault stayed on the driver's side.

    All the wiring looks ok with no obvious breaks and wiggling the wires made no difference. Bear in mind that one the light goes off, if I turn the lights off and on again, the light comes on as usual.

    My question is, could this be down to the headlamp relay? If so, does anyone know how much a new one would cost?

    Thanks

    Mike
