TitchLs400

Before reading your post i took of the whole front bumper what a job! But found out behind the washers is a plastic right angle tube with a pressure valve on the corner of it that lets water escape i assume when it is blocked but they must be faulty because the washers arent blocked or any pipe after the pressure valve and it justs squirts water out of this valve onto the floor. Would it be wise to just replace both of these valves with a regular pipe with no pressure relief valve. I will post up a picture of this valve later as its hard to explain it. I might dare to get a quote from lexus for them tomorrow. Last time i went to lexus for a part they quoted £270 for just the side mirror glass

Haha it doesnt feel right in my opinion driving the ls400 fast like a boy racer its too comfortable to ruin by going fast around corners and you just lean over and slide out of the seat . But it is definately fast enough for me in a straight line i was amazed at the acceleration! its the perfect overall car its an amazing cruiser, so comfortable and quiet, good engine preformance and in my opinion the economy is good for what you are getting. the car im driving at the moment is a 1998 Golf 1.6 se and it gets 35 real mpg with a mix of driving and it has 107hp compared to a 4.0L 260bhp V8 car that weighs nearly two tons? with loads of space heated front and rear leather electric seats amazing sound system and is dead silent that gets around 20 mpg i think its worth the extra money in fuel. I bought the car because my uncle who is also on here bought a immaculate mk4 Ls and took me for a drive in it and i was amazed at the refinement gadgets and power of it. Then I got home and found out how cheap they are for what you get. So i HAD to get one! especially at £450 :P

Im 18 i have a 96 ls400 with 228,miles admittedly not driving it yet its Parked on my drive needs some maintenence for now i.e p/s pump, serpentine tensioner bearing and some paint work here and there. Insurance quoted me £1300 third party one years no claims in my name. Dont worry i wont bring down the good reputation of LS400 drivers and make it look like there being driven by young yobs. Phil

Titch Ls My Washers when i press them make one long squirting noise and dump water onto the floor. Maybe i have a blocked hose or a leak in one of them. But i can only really see by taking off the front bumper and that is a massive pitter. Should the pump on the mk3 give one long squirt or two short squirts? Phil Titchener
