    and so Mike .................  tell us all about this phenomenon in your midst :yes:

    Malc

    With only 73k on her she drives as you would expect her too straight out of the show room when she was new. Everything works, having done around 100,000 miles on my original LS400 giving her a combined mileage of 194,000 the only way I can describe her as become loose when compared to Lexie2. Hugh the original owner has done a sterling job of looking after her. There cant be many cars that are 23 years in age have only ever failed the MOT once and that was for a duff lamp bulb. Brand new brakes and 5 x Kumho Ecsta tyres, I knew this car was going to be mine after 1st looking at her picture, the car and Hugh were as genuine  as the day is long.

    Getting her LPGd in the next couple of weeks, thankyou Profess.

    Lots of miles with lots of smiles. I will post some pictures as soon as I can.

    and I'm sure Mike should be very pleased with his discerning purchase  .....  is it you Mike that has bought it ?  :unsure:

    Oh yes and I feel like I have just won the Lottery. I had often dreamed of ending up with such a LS 400. Sadly I was told that my present LS400 had a bad dose of Tinwormulitis and to fix would cost in excess of £2000, the inner rear wheel arches were in a bad shape. Whilst I was more than happy in getting the mechanical bits the trouble with rust is you don't know how bad the car is suffering. The car has a MOT until the end of February 2023. Once I have had the new Lexi LPG installation down at Profess I will put my old Lexus up for sale. Mean while I must try and wipe this grin off my face.

  4. Many thanks for all your great suggestions.  When I purchased her 12 years ago I always said I would keep her replacing mechanical bits what ever needed but when it came to bodywork with Tinwormilitis  it would be time to say goodbye. She has a MOT until the end of Feb 2023. I have found a car which looks fantastic and with only 73k on the clock to replace her with. It was a hard decision to make but its one that had to be made.

    I’m guessing here at the parts shown ( the rear outer wheel arch section) ?

    Looks like a rear quarter section outer panel removal to gain access.....a lot of work and cost.

    Hi Steve. Many thanks for the info. They tell me that they aren't part of the main structure and are there to protect for the ingress of water etc.

    Not sure what to do for the best.
