Thanks again to you all for your advice I feel a little bit better after my rant, but I would like to try and resolve some of the problems my trouble is I am a bit long in the tooth for crawling over the car does anyone know of a garage/mechanic who for a reasonable price might tackle some of my problems

Hi Mike I bought the car off Gumtree from a private owner in EastBourne so only have myself to blame. Thanks to the other contributors both positive and negative. I suppose I should realise that this is not a luxury car anymore just an old banger and as such I will stop cleaning it and having it services and drive it into the ground until it dies

I am a not so proud owner of a LS430 2003 I purchased the car 18 months ago mainly on the advise of you guys telling me that they are wonderful cars never break down and all the bells and whistles never stop working I was going to buy a Jaguar (wish I had now). Well the story so far the air conditioning has failed with a hole in one of the pipes, parking sensors failed, drivers seat broke ( had to have it repaired for the mot), rear offside suspension is lower than the rest of the car, steering wheel adjustment works intermittently, cruise control has failed. Anyone know of a good scrap yard or should I just list it on eBay for 99p

We'll thank you all once again the information is so valuable I will start to make the appropriate enquirers in the new year and a happy new year to you all

Thank for that I have looked at aliexpress review site , what a load of rogues thanks for saving me a lot of heartache

Thank you all very much for the information I know I will find this site very useful

Thanks for the information I had a feeling it was the ball joint I will get that checked what is the Ali express site

I have just bought a ls430 2003 model and already I have a faulty offside front parking sensor does anyone know where I can get a new bronze colour coded sensor for my car there seem to plenty for sale but they do not seem to think that the colour is important, the other problem I have noticed is that on full left hand lock I get a nasty noise coming up from the offside front wheel thank in anticipation of any helpful advice
