Dudes, Today I am one happy guy. :) :) :) Just got me car back from the garage. The only thing wrong was the split in the bottle and old cap was knackered. On the new bottle is filling instructions for the coolant so I thought i`d post them here. Might be of some use to ya! 1: After cooling system is emptied, fill with cooland (approx 6 Ltrs) through filler hole (front of engine) and reinstate filler plug. 2: Fill resevoir with coolant (approx 1 Ltr) 3: Keep adding coolant (approx 3 Ltrs) in resevoir with engine idling for 10 mins 4: Run engine at 2000-3000 RPM for 5 mins 5: Shut engine off and wait until coolant temperature goes down. 6: fill resevoir with coolant up to filler neck, then reinstall cap. 7: Coolant capacity 10.8 Ltrs. Hope this helps Dudes :D :D

Thanks GreyBeard. You really know how to cheer a guy up!! I appreciate your input and hope to *** this aint my problem. Car going in on Monday so will let ya know how it got on. I did notice a heirline crack in the top of the expansion reservoir next to the sensor. If this is letting air into the system, does this action lower the boiling point and the build up of pressure push the coolant out? Lets hope it`s just a new bottle needed. :shutit: :shutit: Cheers dudes!!

Dudes. I wonder if anybody can advise as to what may be causing my problem. Got home from work, engine full temp, and as i parked on the drive, saw water coming out bottom of the engine. Opened bonnet and the water was coming out of the expansion bottle lid. Any help would be gratefully received. cheers dudes. :shutit:

Dude, Welcome & enjoy the experiance. You`ll love it B) B)

Dude. Try ebay.com they have a full range of hid bulbs for sale. Even with shipping costs they are a whole lot cheaper than over here

Dude. Welcome to the club. Owning a LS400 makes you feel a million dollers! I own a 92 Mk1 and it runs as smooth as the day it was made. The engines are bulletproof and ARE THE BEST V8 in the world. Make sure there is a FSH and receipts for all work done. I had my cambelt changed in Dec 2003 for £220.00 at Lexus Norwich (which I thought was good value). The parts can cost an arm and a leg but the internet is a wonderful thing. Buy your parts from America and they cost a fraction of the price. IE full set plugs £35.00, PCV valve £0.54p set HT leads £56.00. At the end of the day it is a luxury car and the running costs are high but hey, WHAT A TOOL. Good luck DUDE :D

Dave, Bought them on Ebay.com the American site. Total cost inc p/p £30.49 They have some fantastic Lexus items for sale at half the cost we would pay over here. Why not take a look! (Don`t spend too much though)!!!! Regards Paulydude

Yo Dudes. I was quoted over £100.00 for a full set of NGK spark plugs from Lexus Norwich. Bought a full set over the net for £31.00 and now need to install them. Does anyone have any information on how to change them. My beast is a 92 LS400. Any help would be great. Many thanks Paulydude

Opened mine up the other day. Put some Iron Maiden on (loud) and, well shall we say doubled the national speed limit. OOOPS!!!

Dudes. Would just like to say "HAPPY NEW YEAR" to you all. Hope you have a safe and peaceful one. Kindest regards Paul

tonic

I wonder if Elvis was in there with him!!!!

DUDE! Big congrats. I would be very appreciative if you could send the info to me. You have saved me a job :winky: I must say that it`s great to belong to a site where it`s members are so forthcoming and helpful. When i discover how to split the atom. i`ll let you all know!!! Keep up the good work dudes. B)

Dude. greetings and a warm welcome. Its always nice to hear from another LS owner. Have you posted your lS in the gallery? I'm sure all the members would like a peek. Happy motoring B)

Hello. Welcome to the club. What about trying any IRON MAIDEN or BLACK SABBATH cd. The quality will shine through :D :D I tried a cd cleaner and noticed no differance whatsoever.
