Ls400 Cam Belt
ColinBarber replied to MRTED's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h Club
It is done on mileage and time in the US. Don't think Lexus have ever quoted time in the UK for the cambelt. Do you have the service book - that should have the correct information in it. -

I Got An Is300 Today To Play With While Mines In
ColinBarber replied to Brettster's topic in Lexus General Discussions
On paper it does but it's heavier and therefore takes a bit longer to get going. -
It would not be possible to convert. A new CD will cost about £150.

There are different types of SP9000 tyres available. There is a version for the Lexus IS200. This is the reply I received from Dunlop about the differences and how to tell the difference. I will add this info into the knowledgebase.

I should read all the question! If your car has sat nav then there is a mute on the amp. Otherwise you need to wire a relay to the grey wire on the head unit which is the switched live. The mute from your car kit needs to open the relay to cut power to the head unit whilst there is a call.
-
I think you can cut it out. You would never be able to put it back to standard though.
-
What age is it? The older ones do have a mute.
-
There are requirements for new cars and the SVA test has limits.

I brought a couple of tyres last month for my IS. Got a quote for both a standard SP9000 and Lexus one. The Lexus one was £10 more, came in a box and is made in Japan. Both types are MFS - the small lip which is meant to stop kerbing MFS I've contacted Dunlop to clarify the different types of SP9000 and how to tell them apart. Hopefully I will get a response.

Dvd Upgrade? And Remote Engine Start?
ColinBarber replied to RobinJackson's topic in Lexus SC430 Club
Good luck -
If yours are made in Germany then I don't think they are the Lexus OEM tyres. There should be a small lip but it doesn't help much with the Lexus alloys - well they don't with my wife!
-
No it is not and nor is reversing alterations made by moderators!
-
Have a good one Matt.
-
Not sure if they do it without MFS (rim protector) now. There are 3 types. Standard, Extra load and Lexus OEM.
-
With all that power in such a small car I would have thought 0-60 would have been under 5 seconds. Still you would have great fun pulling up to the lights and people thinking you have a standard 1.8 :)
-
The tyres will be made in Japan not a european country. Not sure what else you can check.

Ls Fuses
ColinBarber replied to JayBeeBee's topic in LS 400 / Lexus LS 430 / Lexus LS 460 / Lexus 600h / Lexus 500h Club
I think they are the only two fuse boxes. -
Tracking is just checking the toe-in. There are also caster and camber adjustments that are required to fully align the wheel. Tracking normally costs about £10. A full wheel alignment using laser measuring equipment can cost £50-100. Inside wear is normally caused by incorrect camber and therefore just getting the tracking checked will probably not fix the problem. If you have wear on the inside and outside then your tyre pressures are too low. This explains things: http://www.familycar.com/alignment.htm The IS200 has a little negative camber, which improves handling, so a small amount of wear on the inside is expected.
-
A cheapo wrench will last and should be accurate enough for wheel nuts. Just don't try and tighten up more than the wrench is designed for and don't use it to undo nuts, use a breaker bar.

Hi Phil, What car do you drive?
