    Agreed ^. Previous owner probably never used it. Skickat från min D6603 via Tapatalk

    Update, the handbrake was the culprit. Hasnt happened since fixed. Skickat från min D6603 via Tapatalk

    I don't know about foreign versions of the LS, but I have a OBD2- socket in my LS400 from -99, but no regular OBD-reader works.

    Very nice. Almost same colour as mine.

    You're right about ethanol in the petrol, here in the north they even add more during winter, and have been doing it for some time. Back in the day, one bought ethanol in the gas station and added it to the fuel, to prevent freezing.

    Anyone here using ethanol in their LS400? I've been mixing petrol and ethanol since I bought the car in october, and all works well so far. Normally I use a mix of 70/30 (p/e) but sometimes up to 60/40.

    So, since I had the hand-brake diagnosed as broken, I have not used it at all. And, it has not started to shake violently since. I'm getting it repaired in a few days, but I think it's responsible for the shakes, according to the mechanic it was very rusty and probably get's stuck when used.

    An update: Ive had it checked three times now; an extra thorough MOT, fault coding reading at the mechanic and a check-up of all bearings etc at a Toyota shop. The only thing found was a faulty hand brake, which I have not sorted yet. We'll see if that gets rid of the intermittent shakes.

    Ok, thanks. Guess I'll have to take it to the mechanic.

    So, was your problem there all the time when driving above 55, or only sometimes?Skickat från min D6603 via Tapatalk

    Greetings from Sweden, my name is Håkan and I'm a fairly new Lexus owner, had my LS400 for about 2 months now. Anyways, sometimes when I'm on the freeway/highway in about 90 km/h, the car starts to shake. It does this for 1 to 2 minutes, then calms down. This only happens now and then, not very often so far. Tires are balanced and ok, so no fault there. Engine-related? Thanks / Håkan Skickat från min D6603 via Tapatalk
