  1. Question for you good people. Just off the phone with SuperFlex and they confirmed that they only stock bushings for the UCF10 I/II. They're unsure whether the front suspension bushings are compatible with the UCF20 (mine). Anyone have an idea? Specifically upper/lower CA and ARB. Cheers, (edit) to be fair to them they said they'd take the parts back if I ordered and found they were incompatible. Nice people. (edit2) Just saw the post on the suspension forum. I'll take a look at the links.
  2. Thanks Steve2006. The front suspension looks relatively easy to work with so I'll most likely rip it apart. Stealer best place for parts? Re: bushings, I have a press and will hopefully be able to source poly's. I saw a handy thread on here for suppliers. EDIT: - Found the SuperFlex site. Looks like they have everything. Pricey !
  3. Thanks all. I've stripped her out and rebuilt the interior. (Found an old Irish pound coin under the centre console - amonngst other items) Pretty happy with it so far. Leather is a bit tired. Replaced most of those horrible miniature bulbs while I was at it. Cleaned up very well. I've noticed a knocking from the suspension which gives a fair amount of feedback. Everything looks okay with the wheels off. I think the drop links could be renewed for sure but there's not that much play there. The thrust arm bushings look a bit tired too along with the upper control arm bushings. But, apart from looking tired there doesn't seem to be anything I can see that would cause the knocking. Any common issues in this department? Also, I have a torn dust ocover on the steering gear (part 45536). Going to have to separate that arm to get a new one on.
  4. Hi All, Glad to have joined. I just went out and picked myself up a beautiful 1995 LS400 - second gen, pre facelift. It's showing c. 147k miles and has had TB done twice - once recently :-) Got it for the princely sum of Eur 750 :D This is it just after I got it - currently cleaning her up. Loads of gunk etc stuck in the usual channels/trims etc etc Looking forward to reading all the tech posts and writeups and indeed contributing myself. Noticing some moisture in the cabin (not the boot ;-) ) - looks like its coming in from the upper windscreen seal. Cheers,
