  1. Hi Jeff , as a new(to me on a o7plate) ls460se-l owner i am interested to know how many miles are on yours with a water pump leak,i have 44k on mine with flsh. Many thanks Keith
  2. Cheers Steve i did install the supplied y cable on the xcarlink unit and that part worked well....but i have since removed and returned the complete unit due to other problems ,i am now considering a viastech option . I fitted one to my 430 with good results Thanks for your input Keith
  3. I am expecting an email from viastech tomorrow , i will suggest the possibility of buying two units and taking it from there. It is quite easy to remove all that beautiful wood to gain access to head unit Your location in Merseyside can't be far away so it wouldn't be a problem to help if needed
  4. Thanks Paul i have never heard of GROM .i did check the video out. I have been in contact with viastech (the same person i bought the unit for the 430 from) and he suggested that i would use the MML unit for the 460.The cost is 250usd i left a message that i would go ahead if they paid the shipping, Maybe if we ordered a unit each they might be more willing to ship for free (cheeky i know , but worth a try) would that be something you would be interested in?. I am located in St Helens.If you wish to discuss this or need help fitting any unit you get please feel free to contact me 07899684249 regards Keith http://www.vaistech.com/product-category/usb-aux-input/
  5. Hi all , i have fitted a xcarlink interface to my ls460 to pair up with a ipod classic 160gb , i nave a good engineering background so installing these things correctly isnt a problem . On completion the ipod got hot quickly and was trying to reboot itself constantly and there was no display,The ipod still works well in its house or garage dock . i spoke to the guys at xcarlink and they suggested that it was a ipod problem, so i used my sons ipod touch, this played music but with no display and a constant background interference ,( to me this suggest that the unit is not suppressed or it is picking up an electrical field from the car wiring harness, a routing problem) .The guys at carlink have been as helpful as possible over the phone but i am removing and returning their unit tomorrow. In my previous ls430 i installed a Viastech unit which worked well if all the music was in playlists. Can anyone of you helpful people suggest another piece of kit which will allow full use of all controls ,keep the cd working and allow me to enjoy the brilliant Mark Levison system, I am going to email viastech and see what they suggest for the 460 , Many thanks Take care Keith
  6. Hi i fitted Uniroyal Sharks to my 430 .... no complaints , good wear and good in the wet ,
  7. HI Jason i bought from Hollybrook car centre in Southampton, 250 miles south from me but very good people to deal with . take care Keith
  8. Hi Daniel it has covered a genuine 44000 , i have checked MOT's and Lexus service records from the only other owner ,who was a director for a large electronics company , i have no reason to believe that this is not a true low mileage car
  9. Hi all here are pics of new car .It has been worth all the travelling and the hours looking on line , talking to dealers etc .You can't expect what you want to come to you , i know i'm a fussy bugger when it comes to my car or bikes but i think i got this one just about right. Take care Keth
  10. Hi Phill the 460 is quieter quicker smoother ,comfier. it;s a lovely place to be , and has less than a third of the miles on than the 430 .(but no lpg) The on board computer says at a steady 85 mph it was returning 32.3 mpg , i know thats only a guesstimate but i can live with that , cut out the short journeys and use it as a pleasure beast
  11. thought i had but still says ls430, went to edit profile and saved changes ....advice please
  12. yes we had a good run home apart from seeing a crash in the road works of the m6, but using the brake hold option even took the boredom out of queuing. sat nav must have been updated because it new its way around some newer roads and m6toll , i have nav discs and even a dvd of the Lexus Symphony Orchestra which is 12 ls 460 laid out like an orchestra playing music recorded from world class musicians through the Mark Levison system to a concert sized crowd (can be Googled) Amazing ride and quality of finish . whisper quite ,going from 60 to 90 for a heavy car is comparable to my 1040 cc motorcycles
  13. Hi all the search is over , i have now exchanged my 51 plate 430 for a 07 Ls 460 se-l silver with ivory leather and dark maple trim and after all my other wasted trips i am a happy bunny . Travelled 520 mls round trip to Hollybrook car sales in Southampton where the car was exactly as advertised all checks and history were confirmed 44,000mls flsh the part ex price was honoured ,and a deal was struck , very good people to deal with . The car is immaculate and a pleasure to drive and unlike others i've seen absolutely everything works,all it needs is a battery for the key card (£3 flea bay) . it came with 2 x smart keys so that's not a major concern Take care Keith
