Jake430

I replaced  mine with 6mm eye bolts and short 6mm bolt.

Key off. Where would  you go. Don't leave the bags bottomed out.

Till you get them pumped up l would safely  jack up the car so as not to damage the bags.

One bag will hold its own side up, if not the bag will burst since the air has no where to go.

Good luck, f that is all that's broken l stand corrected. I still don't understand why both sides collapsed 

I  am 99% sure. make sure the compressor is not left running or you will need to replace it too. You should be able feel the rip in the bags. Sorry to say they are not the best Considering  what they cost.

Sorry to say 2 new structs, air bags are blown. each corner feed by its own air line and solinoid

im looking to buy a 430 and wondered if the exhaust is long life similar to the 400 or any weak points regards steve

400 was stainless steel. 430 is just mild steel.

What mileage has the engine covered 

Check ride height sensors.  The ball joints seize.

PM me if you wish 

I would think not as the 430 is Lower to the ground 

I think have a set of 17" lexus rims but no tyres.

I think l have a set but l am in Ireland. 

I suggest you connect a lexus dealership in case flashing the card damages your car. Imho

The 400 and the 430

I got mine direct from  Lexus 

 You could replace with lexus coils and shocks. I tried coilovers in a 430, didn't last long. I posted about it.

I got my tow bars direct from lexus for the 430 and the mr 3 400.I got one made for the 400 mk 4 based on American specs. 

I tried coilovers in a 430 years ago. 3 failed in 700 miles. I put the air shocks back in the front and got lexus standard shocks for th rear. Car handled great. 

I would try a panel beater for a cost. It may be an easy fix once the splash guard is removed.

I don’t understand where you find evidence of that , quite the opposite I bought my LS 430 and it has been remarkably reliable , with little expenditure. However like all vehicles , including the LS 460 and LS 600 it very much depends on its servicing history and how it has been looked after. The seller of my LS430 bought a Chauffeur Driven LS 460 with 100,000 miles so you would have thought well maintained.... needed £6000’s worth of front suspension repairs.  You could make the same argument for both 460 and 600 vehicles , but there are so many variables that they “could “ become money pits but equally “not”

Any high end car scan be a money pit as they get old. Sometimes  it the luck of the draw. My  400's only needed servicing and a few other bits and pices where as the 430 a money pit.

Don’t disagree Scott but the equivalent dealer car would cost several thousands more and other than the warranty I’m not sure it would be any better than this 600 which has FLSH, new tyres, full MOT and has just been serviced ?

And yes a 430 would be cheaper but equally could also be a money pit and a 430 is a great car but it ain’t no 600.

The 430 can burn through money very easy, l  would go  for the 600

Why do you think the ls would be a step back compared to the Volvo 

I found 36 psi worked best for me.
