I would relish the chance of some chrome wheels like you bought, as i have fitted chrome wheel arch spats and a chrome grill to my Ls400, also green in colour. I was lucky enough to acquire a 1 owner example. Poor chap lost is ability to drive.

Help, how do i put a new battery in the Key Fob for my Lexus Ls430 2000model. Normally ( on previous cars ) i could see that they split and it was quite easy to replace the battery, but on the three 'key' i have for my Ls430 there does not seem the ability to split.!!!!

Thanks for that,yes i noticed them and will check tomorrow, when its been out in rain all night. Next action is to alter front of house so can park under window where it is flat.

Hi Malc, Its a 1997 Lexus Ls400, however i have fitted a proper fold-down Toyota emblem on bonnet, pus the chrome bits. Also am in contact with guy in Bosnia who produces wood veneer kits for fascias etc to see if he has any Lexus stuff. Cheers Edward

Have now used car today and in light rain and on level was dry, now put on my drive which is an incline and its raining quite fast; so we will await tomorrow and see (or feel?) as for rear lights, yes depending on tomorrows result will check those out too. Thanks for the many responses and tips, much appreciated. As for same car I have personalised mine with a chrome grill from China and chrome wheel spats from America, really gave it a face lift and gets many onlookers. Photos taken just now, 27/08/2016 1700hrs.

What you doing with my car?
-
Have now stripped the seal from boot, cleaned sill and seal, re-fitted seal with sealant and then smeared top of seal with silicon grease. Leaving till Monday to set and will then wash car down to test. Boot totally dry at moment as had boot lid open on all hot weather times. Appreciate all comments and fingers crossed.

Help, my spare wheel well was full of water and despite checking the seal (ok - but iv'e put a coat of Vaseline on anyway) and stripped the lid padding, i was hoping to adjust the closure mechanism but cannot see any way of doing this. Knowing Toyota thette must be a way of adjusting his, anyone know how please. My Ls400 (1997) drives superb and looks great so i am keen to solve this, it's only problem

Thank you friends or the many comments, especially DJDON, as you may know by now I am the proud owner of a Ls430 ( see my photo's ) with " enough wood to build a canoe". Still got the Ls400 and keeping it, a;though the boot is now full of water!!!!! I cannot find any obvious reason for the leak and have stripped the boot lid to try to adjust but cannot find how to do this. Anyone had this problem and any clues as to what i could do. I am going to re-glue the boot seal rubbers to the metal and then coat them with Vaseline, then leave out in rain to see effect.

Sounds like you'r volunteering to me. Might take you upon it..

Thanks pal.been a long time searching but worth the wait. Taking it to Germany in October ( if Merkel still lets us in? ). Bought th plate myself as felt such a car deserved it.

Solved problem of finding wood kit by, A returning the Ls400 and B purchasing a Ls430 with simply EVERYTHING. What a great car, heated and cooled deats,cool box, enough wood to build a boat, air supension etc etc. Its top of range with premium pack.

Hi Steve did you ever find the Lexus Torch in your shed? Now have 2 Ls400's both without the torch.

Have delayed collection of my '2nd' Lexus Ls400 until 1st April to avoid paying excess tax. Then will review situation. Thank you for the information anyhow, good of you.
-
No idea, will have to find out. Is it obvious from looking under the bonnet?
-
Ok, wish you luck and success. I am now looking at Laminates or Plastic Foil
-
Let us know please when you have fitted it if you are pleased. I am now looking at some real or fake wood veneer stick-on laminates.
-
Thanks, Stuart, confirms what i thought. Decided to have car 'Mapped' for efficiency, this should solve 'Pinking' and improve fuel economy..
-
That is good news, my contact just replied that they do not do LS400 kits. So if your comes and fits the bill, please let me know the details so i can source one myself. Cheers
