My 430 is a non premium pack car so on springs. The premium pack had air suspension, rear aircon and fridge and parking sensors and was an additional £5k back in 2001 I'm Very glad mine is a non premium pack car.

Where did you get the cooler from please. This is something I would like to fit to my 430.

Lexus Sheffield quoted £400 for new glass fitted. Still got mine to do.

.

Yes iPhone 6 and there was a filter on I was wondering why it was taking crap pictures.

In 2001 the premium pack was an extra £5k. My father only wanted rear parking sensors so had them fitted as an extra.

I can't see it ever being sold. In the last 3 years I have spent more on the car than it's worth bringing it up to scratch. LPG conversion Spraying both bumpers and wing mirrors General service and maintainence It's now the cheapest car on the fleet to run and the only one I don't worry about come MOT time

And the rear air con pipes. The car was my late fathers and I couldn't see it sold when he passed away. It's a 2001 and has now only done 46k miles. I love going out in it my only fear is being involved in a bump and it being written off.

It's been parked up since the end of October. It's a non premium car so no issues the the suspension as its on springs luckily. The only thing that goes flat is the battery so I take it off and bring it inside.

Probably Just been out for a nice run it is so smooth and silent compared to the Hilux I drive daily

As the weather has warmed up a little and the rain has washed all the salt away I thought I would refit the battery to the 430 and get it out of Hibenation. Just need to fill with gas and then blast the cobwebs out. Its nice to have her out again it's been a while.

For the money if it was anything serious you shouldn't be far off getting your money back in parts.

If it was close enough it would be worth a look underneath. Leaks are usually a simple fix

No need to apologise the forum is great for finding out about our cars. At least you now don't have to worry and just enjoy the car.

If the level jumps back up periodically then it wont be using both petrol and LPG otherwise the petrol level wouldn't correct itself. There doesn't seem to be a pattern on the 430 how often it will recalibrate the level with the float. This has been discussed a few times on here if you search.

The gauge will drop when running on LPG as the computer still thinks the car is running on petrol as the fuel consumption is calculated on the number of injector openings. Periodically the level is corrected to the float level and you will see the gauge jump back up. The level is always corrected if you were to put petrol in the tank. Its perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.

I have had 2 vehicles done by Leeds LPG my LS430 and a 5.7l Hemi Jeep. both done very well in one day and no issues.

I have a spare set of 430 alloys with tyres but they need a referb. I got them to put winter tyres on but the 430 doesn't go out in winter now.

The trouble with garages they don't understand Air conditioning systems they just weigh the gas in. Any air conditioning engineer will be able to charge the system by feel and pressure. Never trust a car dealer with air con issues. I am a air con engineer by trade and have been told several times when they are trying to sell me an air con service that the systems all leak. When I start to question them they allways back down. Allways take it to a specilist air con company who know what they are talking about and never let a dealer or a company like kwik fit touch your air con as if they weight the gas in and it still doesn't work they don't have a clue.

Mine is a 2001 non premium car and the doors are soft close

My 430 is a non premium pack car. They came without air suspension and parking sensors. Also no rear air con and fridge so a lot less to go wrong

The starter job isn't too bad just take your time. Will take about 4 hours

That's excelent news well done. I hope your back can recover as much as the car will be looked after.

Had to do this on my Landcruiser once and it's the same for most toyota vehicles

Try reprogramming the window I think you lower it all the way holding the switch down and then the same back up from the drivers control. Once done it should work again
