Dude Glad I could be of help. :D :D :D

Dude, Roys are great. Ian the Manager is very polite and really goes out his way to help. I have a 92 LS400 and they do all the work on mine and I have not had cause to fault them. £40.00 / hr labour plus parts. Well impressed. Give them a try and i think you will return. (and no, i dont work for them!) Tongue out, belly in

Dudes, A quick update. Rang the lexus customer support as T7RY B suggested and they were great. I gave them my VIN No. and within 30 seconds they had a manufacture date. It was manufactured 5 months before the 1st registration. As always thanks dudes :P

Dudes. Hope you can help. I need to find the manufacture date of me beast. There is no plate behind the door and it looks like there never has been (no rivet holes). I have found a plate in the engine bay with the VIN and engine number but no manufacture date. Is there a Lexus site out there or can anyone point me in the right direction as to whom to ring. As always, thanks in anticipation dudes :D :D :P

Dudes, Am thinking of buying new discs & pads and changing them myself. Have seen them for sale on Ebay.com the American site. Has anyone ever bought these and if so were they OK, and secondly, is this a hard job to do?? The reason why i`m doing this is, when under normal braking i can feel a vibration through the car (plus the brakes haven`t been changed in a couple of years). No warning light on the dash though! Any help you guys could give would be great. Cheers dudes

Dude, The Crown looks very similar (if maybe a bit on the square side) Hope your A/C works out there. :zee:

Dude, yeah, if I turn it up a couple of degrees it does come back but not for very long! I will look for a sensor and let you know how I get on (Fluff). Does the Temp/clock display have any diagnostic checks that a Simpleton like me can do!!! Cheers guys :P

Dudes, Can you come to my rescue. My heater works fine in the morning for the first 30 mins or so. Nice and warm blowing out all vents. Then after 30 mins starts blowing cold!! Any ideas. I had a new heater control/clock installed about a year ago so i`m at a loss as what is causing this. Cheers Dudes

Maneesh Dude. You ARE here for a reason. I think you will know why when it happens. Living up here in Norfolk, most of our roads are long winding country lanes which are unlit and very very dark. I should think this experience will make you belt up every time. But your right of course, it does take a near death experience to make you realise what you have, who you have, and how much you take it all for granted. I`m glad your ok. May your lord look over you always. Paulydude. :D :D :D

Dude. I have seen a few of these for sale on Ebay. Might be worth a look. Good luck. :D

Dudes, just had a great day out in Norfolk and there was a classic car show there. Saw my first car I ever owned, a pristine Mk11 Cortina. Bought back a lot of memories. Just wondered if any of you guys can remember your first cars and what they were. I`m sure some of you will even remember the reg No. eh! Happy memories Dudes

Dude. A warm welcome to ya. Well being across the pond you should be able to find your spare parts very easily. I use jaggraveyard.com or why not try ebay.com. lots of lexus spares are sold here at great prices. Enjoy your new ride dude. :D :D :D

Dudes! For the past couple of days i have noticed a clunking noise coming from the front end of my car. Jacked it up and rocked the wheels, nearside fine, offside there is play in the wheel. No grinding when i spin it, just play from side to side. Could this be the wheel bearing? If so has anybody had any experience with one of these? As always, thanks dudes. B)

Well done dude! Lager top with a Jack Danials chaser please. Oh go on then make it a double!! :D :D

Stu76 dude I agree with Maneesh, buy the spares like plugs, pads, belts ect from America. I just bought an oil filter and air filter off e-bay.com (jag graveyard) and including carriage $24.00. which is i guess £19-£20.00 Twodogs dude. Welcome to the club. My 92 LS400 is on 144,000 and you really can`t feel the box changing (except when kicking down and then all hell breaks loose). Have faith big dude and enjoy your toy. Regards

Sorry! But if someone quoted me that much, i`d do more than SHOUT!!

DUDE: HOW MUCH. THERE HAVING A BUBBLE BATH!!! £2,200, ME THINKS THEY ARE FLEECING YOU MY GOOD MAN. NOW THEN, I USE INSURANCE EXPRESS IN BIRMINGHAM. HAVE DONE FOR ME LS400, CAMRY V6 AND XJS. I PROTECT ME NO CLAIMS AND HAVE JUST RENEWED FOR THIS YEAR. £500 ON THE NOSE. THIS IS ALSO INCLUDING A CLAIM I HAD EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN MOTHER NATURE MADE LOTS OF SNOW AND ICE TO COVER OUR COUNTRY LANES AND PAULYDUDE HAD A SPOT OF SKATING (RIGHT INTO A GRASS BANK). I CLAIMED OF THE INSURANCE (AS ONE DOES) AND I COULD CHOOSE THE REPAIRER (LEXUS NORWICH). NO HASSLE OR ARGUEMENTS AT ALL. I REALISE LIVING IN THE SMOKE HIKES UP YOUR PREMIUM BUT £2,200.00!!!! THEY ARE ON THE WEB MATE. BEST OF LUCK AND IF YOU DECIDE TO TAKE THEM UP MINES A LAGER TOP. CHEERS DUDE :D :D :D

Dude, :yack: So sorry to hear ya baby`s not well. Puts a big knot in your stomach when it happens! Tell ya what though, when you get it back you will appreciate it even more. You don`t realise what you have until you lose it for a while. Hope all goes well mate.

Dude. Same problem happened to me. Bought some spark plugs and took to garage. Can`t speak highly enough of Roys Motor Co in Norwich. Lexus/Toyota dealer and great service. Problem cured. Not saying that this is a cure for your car, but pm me and i will give you the number. (another member in Norwich, Race ya round the ringroad!!!) Good luck mate

Dude. What about a rotwieller on the front seats!!!!!!! :P :P :P :P

I remember when this first happened to me. Blamed the wife!!!

Dude, I looked on e-bay last night. There are LS mats available. I looked in the browse mode and typed in LS400 and clicked on the button marked "items available to the uk". You will be suprised the amount of LS goodies you can buy. It might be from the USA but the items are over half the price you would expect to pay over here, and the carriage aint bad either. Hope you have a good deal up Dude. Regards. :D

Dude. Take a look on e-bay. Saw 2 sets on there yesterday. Might still be there. Happy hunting :P

AMEN DUDE. AMEN :D
