I'm glad someone agrees with me. I don't want it to turn into a slanging match

also as for flashlube I admire you for putting it on your car eventhough it might not need it. It's better to have and not need rather than not have and need later when it's too late

Yes sorry about the towbar comment as I have already stated.

The tank is very neat as I have already said.

Is there a reason why it was "independantly" checked. Is the person who fitted the system not approved by UKLPG ???

I am not bothered where you take your business. I couldn't care less really but what I don't like to see is shoddy workmanship. It is a pet hate of mine. There is a set of pictures on this forum with LPG on the car and it looks professionally installed.

I just feel with people fighting for business these days they would put some effort into doing the work once they get the job.

Glad it doesn't switch back to petrol at high revs. That is a big plus.

See..... I am not all negative

I suppose that you don't have to open the bonnet with it being a lexus anyway as it will hardly ever brake so if it runs correctly it doesn really matter about the quality of the work

Sorry about the filler I was looking at the photo on a low res phone and didn't see the towbar. That is actually quite neat. Still unimpressed about the underbonnet though. Hope it runs ok and you have no trouble out of it

Unfortunately if someone had done that to my car I would be taking it back

The injectors will fit under the cover. The ecu will fit out of sight behind the driverside strut top and the vaporiser will fit behind the driverside fog light at the bottom.

Also the filler on the back is a bit low and is easily knocked when reversing and requires an adaptor.

Whole lot looks like it has been thrown in in less than a day. Does not justify a 4 day job unfortunately. I would expect a lot more for the money and time spent on that.

Also being an AEB system it will probably switch back to petrol at high revs.

However on a positive note...... Nice tank fitting. Shame about the rest of it. Hope it runs ok for you

p.s I am not trolling I am being truthful. My opinion and I have seen better work done quicker and cheaper.

Cool. Can't wait to see the photos !!

Any photos with the under-bonnet installation ??

Also why such a small tank ? I have heard that a 103ltr water capacity tank will fit in the spare wheel well or is that 83ltr how much gas you actually get into it ?

Would love to see the location of things under the bonnet

Thanks

bumpety bump

Anyone know if this would work at all on a ls400

I would like to know what the cd changer plug on the back of the head unit looks like

CD changer interface !!!!!

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-MP3-Player-digital-music-cd-changer-interface-with-USB-SD-AUX-for-Toyota-Big-5/491374142.html

It's a USB digital interface totally controllable by the head unit and plugs into the big plug (old skool) CD changer plug

What do the plugs look like for the CD changer on a MK4 LS400

Anyone got any pics they can share ???

Yeah my Toyota Sera has one. What is does is detect heat. For the air conditioning system

As we know if you measure heat in direct sun it always feels hotter than in the shade.

What the sensor does is measure UV rays and how much sun is actually there therefore knowing how cool to put the air con on.

Well thats what is does in my toyota that was made in 1991. Old techology is the best hey !!

I've spotted a 2000 plate

Quite tidy, 120000 on the clock

Cam belt just changed

Tax and MOT

£1500

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hahaha as far as I have learnt offers are always accepted !!!

I suppose for what I am looking for and the price I am looking at paying many people are reading this and chuckling to themselves saying "get in the queue"

But colour and mileage are not a problem to me, I am not really that fussy

Thanks

BRILLIANT

Thank you so much for this advice I now know to stay clear

I have around the £1500 mark to play with.

I am a mechanic by trade and now work at Eurocarparts so if I was to pick up a Mk4 needing a timing belt and it was around the £1K mark I am sure that I would snap it up as to fix it up will be no labour cost for me and cheap parts (OBVIOUSLY I always use OEM spec parts)

If anything comes up I would be more than happy to consider it

Is the one on Gumtree our "friends" from Dudley?

I think it is

This is the link

Do you know anything about the car at all or the person selling it ?

Thanks

What is the going rate for a Mk4 these days ?

I know the book value in England is MUCH lower than USA because of fuel prices but I don't know how much I can expect to pay

Do you want a chauffeur ???

Seriously, these are brilliant Grand Touring cars.

Malc

I enjoy driving myself but thanks for the offer :P

There is one on Gumtree at the moment for £1195 with 98000 miles (not warranted) <that is the bit that scares me

Comes with very little paperwork

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/1999-lexus-ls400-face-lift-model-12-months-mot-reduced-1195/1029569459

What do we think ?

Within the next 2 months I am looking to pick one up so not in a great rush really

Hi there

My name is Adam and i live in Merseyside

I am 23 years old and would love to own a LS400 but I am looking at the mk4 I think.

It's the one with the bigger headlights and the sat nav inside.

I currently drive a Toyota Sera and it still drives perfectly but I don't like getting my fillings rattled out all the time.

I drive across Europe about 5 times a year and I want to do it in something comfortable and reliable this year.

Does anyone know of a LS400 98-01 coming up for sale soon.

Also is there anything I should be looking out for with them (common problems)

Mileage is not a problem as long as its been looked after

Thanks for reading

(P.S I can afford the insurance as it is about £40 a month more than I am paying now)
