We have an S90 in the family - Tesla have nailed it with the technology and software - unfortunatley they can't make cars - really lacking in build quality and looks - also BIG depreciation within a year!
Well I've been pootling around (mostly local driving) in LS430s since 2012 and cant think of any other £5k car that will match the quality, serene drive and value!! they are terrible cars - everything elese seems inferior😀
If its the car shown on their website that is VERY poor presentation!!
There is a mark under the screen
lots of dust around the interior switches
scuffs on the seat
hope its not a wasted journey (but your a prefectionist !!)
Ive just google your reg (after reading your post on another site) and it comes up and ex LOC members car which has been converted to coilovers in the past
The company that repaired mine no longer exist.
Might be an idea to source a used one - best to remove yours and get the same using the part number as there are many different types of amps used by Lexus
I can't help with your query - but I seem to remember someone having a similar problem and the fault was with the compressor/clutch etc

my 430 makes a sound when started - maybe i should get it looked at
disappointed with the video - I was hoping to see the ls400 being started with a quick interior and exterior video!

Lexus heated seats are not the best
They takes ages to warm up and the heated pads are not very well placed. However on long drives in my 430 I do have to turn them down as they do get too warm (eventually)
However there has been some issue with relays where the seats gets switched off before reaching temperature - you might want to look into this
