    Wow that sucks, I have the fans kicking in, no heat in the cabin, one cold hose and one hot one so I figure it's the stat Is there a decent service manual around anywhere do you know?
  2. JSeaman
    Has anyone changed the stat on an rx400 and if so did you need to remove all the hybrid system?

    Exactly what I thought, plugs are on the way and I have used iridiums on lpg in the past so agree Is it a hot wire MAF? I'm about 5 minutes from Alfreton! Are you nearby?

    Steve, Thanks - I was beginning to feel unloved as a newbie :) 4 new tyres went on today, I have made the bonnet shut (the usual cable issue) and found the rear view mirror in the glovebox which is nice. Unfortunately today it developed a fault which I need to fix - it doesn't idle well on petrol or LPG it turns out and today it was stalling a lot in neutral/D not moving. I've got a set of plugs coming but next guesses would be coil pack/ISCV but if you have any ideas I'm all ears? James

    I had a GS300 before and I just sold my LS430 to get another, this time on LPG It's a bit of a nail! I need 4 new tyres, a rear view mirror, something is broken on the suspension (will investigate soon), the ABS kicks in at low speed and the LPG is playing up. Not exactly a gem but hey, it was cheap enough

    Just some closure on this one - got the TIS stuff as per the link above, it can indeed be made to work on a 64 bit machine with a little tweaking and it's a lot more useful than the service menu above. Codes are pointing at cat/lambda sensor in case anyone was wondering

    Well the good news is that worked a treat and brought me up a service menu. It had a few different areas with 'check' against them. I found holding 'clear' for a while reset them and a recheck didn't bring any of them back. That said, my engine warning light is still on. If any of you are able to interpret this, the data I got under Fr-Display was: 01-d5 440-57- 4 01-d8 178-e1- 1 01-d8 1c0-e1- 1 01-d8 440-e1- 1 01-d8 1f0-e1- 1 01-dc 178-e4- f 01-dc 1c6-37- 1 01-dc 1c0-e4- 4 01-dc 440-e4- 4 01-dc 1f0-e4- 3

    I'll give it a try, many thanks!

    OK great, thanks - was hoping to do the old paperclip approach but I suppose it's about time I got a proper reader

    Thanks - this? ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-VCI-Toyota-Lexus-v8-10-021-OBD2-Diagnostic-Interface-TIS-Techstream-/321241667060?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item4acb7ed5f4

    Hi all, I just picked up my first LS430, crikey these things are equipped! Probably the best spec car I've ever had and the ride quality is almost as good as a Bentley (the gadgets are way better!). Very pleased in general and the kids love the buttons for the back seats. I do have the engine warning light on but it drives fine so I'm assuming lambda sensor or similar - before I spend hours googling, is there a paperclip method to get error codes out rather than an OBDII reader?
