LS_400

No problem bud :zee: I guess I had better start ringing round for quotes then :( I dread doing this coz I reckon that as soon as you say 'Lexus' the price doubles :(

Hi guys, I love my new LS (1995 MKIII), its by far the most comfortable car I have ever been in. Its puts my friends BMW 540i to shame :P I just have a few small niggles with it. 1.) The aircon The light for the aircon comes on but I dont get any cool air. Should the revs drop at all when(if) the compressor kicks in? I have had a brief look under the bonnet and I cant even see it to confirm wether it is or not! Is there a fuse for the aircon compressor clutch? Again, I have looked for this but I cannot see a fuse marked A/C. I have tried the diagnostic thing (holding the auto and recirc/external air button then turning ignition on) and I get the following codes: 14, 15, 21, 23, 24. Is this as bad as it sounds? 2.) The radio display I know this is a common problem for the MKIII LS. The display is gibberish and none of the backlights work. What is the best solution for this? I have read a post about somewhere in Yorkshire repairing the display, but will they fix the backlighting too? Any idea of cost? Do I have to remove the radio myself? Is this easy? 3.) The memory function on the drivers seat. It doesn't work 95% of the time. I set the positions with the car in park but mostly it just moves the steering wheel and not the seat. Is there anything I should check on this? Thanks for you help on this guys, it is much appreciated.

Thanks mate :)

Thanks for the welcome guys, much appreciated :) Does no-one know about the radio display problem? By total closure, I meant that if the windows or sunroof are left open an then you lock the car from the keyfob, does it shut the windows and sunroof automatically?

Hi guys, I have just bought a 1995 mkIII LS400 in gold with beige leather interior. I don't pick her up for a couple of weeks but I could do with knowing the answers to a few questions I have about her. The display on the dash is fine, but the display on the radio is total gibberish - is this an easy thing to replace? Everything else works fine on the radio, it is just the display. The car is fitted with phones in the armrests front and rear, what do I need to do to get them working? They are both BT phones but the guy who sold it to me said he thought they worked on Vodafone. Anyone shed any light on this? Does the mkIII LS have a total closure alarm? This was about the only thing I did not check on the test drive! I look forward to getting involved with the club and hope to make some meets soon. Cheers guys, Andy :)
