Box states 48530-80244, but shock itself has code 48530-24270.
I presume one code supersedes the other?
Common for part numbers to get updated 👍🏻

Pads
The embossed logo is the same as my avatar, Toyota used it on their 70’s vehicles ….good to see it’s still alive in 2024 👍🏻…..well that or it’s very very old stock ! 😁😁😉

Took n/s/f front wheel off today and going to refurbish the inner rim.
Outside rim is all good but inner is coated in 15 years of brake dust etc.
Also gave the front suspension/brakes a coat of Furtan rust converter while I was there 👍🏻

Free health check! Sir, we can replace your leaking shocks for £2000?
Or am I just cynical?
I would think all mechanics are encouraged by management to look for work with a “free” safety check ☹️

Another white Jap import....or is the same one?
The Reg number rings a bell but didn’t do a check on it or save a screen shot…does Look mint and an underside I’d love to duplicate on mine ….but never possible ☹️
Hinging on sensible money and condition wise it runs circles around others more expensive on AT.
UPDATE..
Did make a note of the reg number, think it’s been flipped by another dealer of a few grand more ! 😠😠

For me the strange thing is when I put in my Reg No in on that site it says there are no recalls outstanding for my car yet according to Lexus they have no record of it ever being done.
I find the Lexus recall site unreliable…I have a FOC dealer invoice saying my car has had the airbags sorts ….yet their recall website says outstanding 🙄.
my opinion …if the DVLA mot site say it’s okay then it’s fine.
Did read last year that recalls could be added to the mot check sheet, and could failure on safety concerns …but clearly it’s not happened….yet !

My current SC430 had the passenger air/bag recall done in 2019.
My previous SC was done around the same time .

You’ve done well so far on the costs, was that all parts from overseas?

Looks gorgeous but I’m guessing it’s not what it seems?
Do we know what the story is?
I made contact about it in the Autumn of 2023, finally got a reply and the guy who has a small independent car front , his mate was selling the car but using is company details 🤔
I asked for his mate to contact me but never did .
Then over the next few months it would disappear from sale, then reappear again , same advert and photo’s but not on the guys for court .
All very odd !
Done an HPI check..
7 owners, 7 plate changes, max ownership was 3 years , others a year ,some less.

The "Conker" SC430 has come back on the market …I think for the 3rd time, same dealer 🤔

Proximity sensors do work! Very loud though. I can see why previous owner turned them off.
Radio antenna not budging though.
With all the boot trim out the aerial is easy to get too ….maybe strip down and lubricant or look for a pattern aerial that may fit .
