Hey Mark, your car looks great and it seems they did a good job for you
Although it's a shame the car is now covered in gawd knows what️
Very pleased, will be interesting to see what the ceramic coating does and how long it lasts. I'm told I can wax it, but in theory it just needs a wash and dry when cleaning it
its just dust, lots and lots and lots of dust

After seeing @Farquis shining Gs450h is always planned on getting my car corrected
they (autobrite) had it this week for three days, £280, and what was a car made up of more of swirls than I remember seeing, and multiplying every second look, was transformed into a rather nice clean car
two stage polish, some manual effort involved where paint has been repaired and was too hard for machining, and a water based ceramic coating
then within hours, my neighbours building work took effect, the car is now covered, or as I am now pretending, covert.

If your lights were like mine, almost original, and you fancy an upgrade, my side light went out, so I thought I'd change all four.
so I read the tutorials, seemed pretty easy, got two Philips racing vision headlights and some white sidelights.
then found my lights were quite brittle, and do take a firm hand in removing. One clip broke on the side light requiring bonding.
I also found out that the bulb wasn't out and it's actually the side light connections that are a bit temperamental. Any suggestions?
Happy with the result though, I might end up replacing the deteriorating plastic units at some point
Total cost £26 plus the worry that anything plastic would break at any moment, and the need to sort the connectors for the side lights

What are those round things on the centre console?
Maybe where the police filled in holes drilled to put their kit in?
not sure the owner is right with the unmarked description, unless they were hiding in plain sight...

Yes it does seem to be a nice one,but the usual advisory on the rear shocks and i'm not sure if the cam belt has been changed as yet
I asked them if i were to get the shocks and service plus cambelt done at Lexus would they reduce the price by a thousand but they said that they would do it,but not the cambelt and only one shock.

id ignore the mileage my mk3 with 86k drives the same as my mk4 with 144k although both will require suspension fixes at the front which the auto trader model looks like it's already had done

Hi Tim,
No he hasnt explained, isnt waiting for parts, or seeking tech advice.
I'd say he's stumped as to how he'll return the car to the condition it was in when he took it in

Hi Martin
Playing devils advocate wasn't the car already faulty when it was delivered to him?
youre suggesting now it's worse after his (current mechanics) efforts? I don't understand why lexus haven't been able to pinpoint this?

They really are awesome cars. I believe lexus stoke have one for sale in the same lovely red colour.
I need to win the lottery 😀
Also a white one this week
although I've also seen a white one driving out of a property nearby, the previous week. Not the best colour but I'll never have the dilemma of having to choose!

Halfords discount is my current favorite
add that to their offers, for example 3 for 2 on meguairs cleaning products, you'll save your membership fee in weeks!
and have a very clean car!

hey guys, look at the advert on autotrader for the P reg Mk3 Ls400 at 166k miles ............... scrap really at @£200
Checking the MOT stuff, it passed last year at 165k miles BUT now the cambelt has bust
and some other terminal Advisories ............ but looks an ok body shell and maybe the interior too !
What it does is give credibility to what we might have understood all along that 150k miles is just about ok for a too long in the tooth first change on these beasts ....... just too long at 165k miles eh ! ( if it is that long
)

Lovely colour car
like you say there's plenty to be re used assuming the engine is kaput
guessing a breaker will collect this very soon

Retracting the mirrors when locking the car would be cool, though I must admit I haven't found that option yet and it may not exist. I'd be extremely happy to be informed by more learned people what's possible and what's not with TechStream based on my car and its age.
Not sure what to suggestion about the centre console reflection. :) Maybe close the sunroof cover or wear your sunglasses?
5 pairs and I can't find any!!!
its actually reflecting when the sunroof is closed and covered.

A man who owns an SC430 should surely be able to chivvy up a bit more than £300 for a classic LS400?
Never seen an SC430 before but must say I wouldn't mind this one. Only fear I would have is of it being keyed as is the behaviour of the envy set. Couldn't bear that so... I'll have to wait until I move house if I want to treat myself. Lovely looking Car.
I parked up at my local dealer today and there were 2, both dark red, in for what I would assume to be maintenance
06 and an 09 plate (was that the last year?) 06 was nice but swirled to buggery, the 09 looked supremely good

I'm pleased with the new lance, my first one clogged very easily (user error?) and in frustration I enlarged the feed. The downside of my 'mod' was that it used up the foam faster than it should #duh The new lance is much more controllable.
The Blizzard snow foam is much thicker and sits on the car longer than Bilt Hamber, which I have been using. It seemed to shift the dirt just as well so I'll try it a few more times to see if the results are consistent - it's relatively dry at the moment so not a thorough test.
I haven't tried the Purity X as I'm waiting for a good few hours so I can strip off the remaining protection and start over. Then I'll finish off with Purity X.
Pictures or it didn't happen @Farqui
