    Oh hello... Grille badge didn't come out too well because it was already so tarnished so I've ordered another silver one. Also having the ones on the hubcaps done.

    Scary stuff. But glad you're OK.

    Missed this. I had exactly the same on my 400h and used black silicone sealant exactly where you did plus the area where the support strut meets the body and the roof rail feet.

    And as I have discovered, due to the models age and import rarity there are parts that are simply unavailable and turn a beautiful looking coupe into a piece of scrap.

    Not sure if you're aware Linas but Greer is a serial Dudley Dealer apologist.

    You eat in the car?

    Check Amayama too. They have part number catalogues too. Or ask your Lexus parts dept for the part number and then put it into Amayama or the key site I linked too.

    That's rather nice. And I'm coveting your part wood gear lever!

    Bit of an LS 400 weak point isn't it?
  10. rich1068
    Great cars. Well done

    Hey Porterhouse. Lovely motor If you can get a part number for the actual key I used a company based in the UAE recently to replace an alarm fob for my LS 400. Don't be put off by the distance, even with delivery they were cheaper than the main dealer and Amayama. Arrived in 3 days too https://www.abkeys.com/ But I guess the real cost is the coding to the car.

    Noted.

    It's actually an early version of Babbage's Difference Engine.

    I've noticed one or two recently. There was a lovely silver one in the Bradford area that looked mint but premium money.

    Surfboard holder. Excellent.

    From experience, when Amayama show that level of stock you get an email two weeks later saying that in fact they can't get one and here's your refund

    Forgot about this and yes indeed, it is extremely good. Possibly the easiest sealant product to apply and buff up.

    Meant to say, had the big items sorted the other day at Lex-Tek. Cambelt, auxiliary belt, diff oil. Stuff I'd really struggle with. The cambelt was last done in '06 so certainly due and luckily no water pump required. Looked like a new one had gone on last time. Old belts were genuine Toyota and still looked new of course. Scary pic klaxon

    Probably the filter. They match the rest of the console. I think this car had been stood a while before I got it. Or at least had very little use over the last few years. There are little issues cropping up due to me using it every day. Nothing major but little niggles that take a bit of patience to fix. Or in the case of the backlights, Steve's patience!
  20. rich1068
    Backlights sorted Battery holder and trim And a correctly sized rear plate Job done
  21. rich1068
    Good aren't they? Makes the job so much easier.

    Hey Jake. I'm in Sheffield so not that far from you. Any help you need, give me a shout.
  23. rich1068
    Well as luck would have it I saw @steve2006 today for a socially distanced Lexus/Toyota mini meet and for him to fix the backlights on my stereo. Virtually every part I mentioned I needed he pulled out of a box in his garage. So I'm now the proud owner of both the battery cover/holder and the trim mentioned above I'm sneaking back later when it's dark and stealing the saddle brown seats out of his Celsior. Don't tell him.

    Have a look here https://www.lexus-mapupdates.eu/ Tell it you're in Europe and look for the latest disc/map for your system. Find the corresponding disc on eBay and if it's not much I'd have a punt on using it in your Aussie system. Very real danger everything will be upside down though.

    Works for me.
