Thanks. Yes they came with spacers and a full set of wheelnuts. Funny thing is the guy ordered them from Germany and on the day of fitting they didn't fit, they were hampered by the caliper. Obviously didn't get the offset right. Anyway a week later the correct ones turned up and all was ok. Your wheels look beaut! As you say a nice set of wheels can make such a difference.

The wheels on my car were in desperate need of refurbishment and one leaked air so I looked into getting them done. I was looking at £500-£600 and although it would have kept it standard I opted, for around the same price to buy these instead, keeping as close as I could to the original style. I'm quite pleased with how they look and feel they make the car look a little more modern.

I thought my backup camera had failed as it was flickering and couldn't see an image. This evening I realised that although it still flickers there is a ghost image or a "negative" image. Weird!! I don't know if it is failing or there's some sort of setting for the camera. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Ok, I've got busy with the copper pipe and stuff and thankfully - no more leaks. Thanks for all the very helpful information you gave I've not only save money doing the repair myself but it would have meant I'd have had to hire a car for the next couple of days as I have a 500 mile round trip starting tomorrow! It's not pretty but if it continues to hold I'm a happy bunny. [emoji106][emoji2936][emoji2935] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

So I'm guessing Find the right copper tube and some flexihose and clamps. Cut the failing tubing out and connect the new tubing into the existing flexihose and the new flexihose and clamp it all up. Top up the power steering and turn the steering left to right to bleed it through and remove any air. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

I had to top up the power steering fluid the other day and when I moved the car to mow the lawn I've noticed some stains on the tarmac driveway. Didn't notice before as I always reverse into the same spot. Anyway on inspection it appears to be the metal tubing in front of the radiator is failing. (See photo's) I'm not sure what the part is called so I'm looking for either the name or part number. Your thoughts please... Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Lexus ls430 AUX

Thats seems like a good video. My 2000 ls430 cd player gave up the ghost a long time ago, then the tape player and the radio although the radio did play intermittently. I might just give this a go. Nothing to lose really [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk- 1 reply

Look great. Should they 18's though? My "55" has 245 45 18. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk -
Yes of course it's salvageable. It's just whether you want to spend more on it than it would cost to buy a decent one. Looking at it objectively: F/door, r/door, r/wing, r/ bumper, wheels,4 tyres, brakes, brake discs, exhaust system, fuel lines, fuel tank, rear window, interior, keys, radiator, hoses, aircon, paint, battery and who knows what amount of electricals. I just don't see a future for it except as a donor car... possibly. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Nice car Paul and 70000 miles is really good. I've got two at the moment as one was damaged but is being repaired at the moment. ( couldn't wait so bought a second one). I hadn't known that there was a roof rack a available for the Lexus. Probably only my opinion but for me it's like having a roof rack on a rolls royce. Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
