Arrrr...now I understand.

By any chance are all the lights out on the climate control buttons as well? If so this is a known fault within the head unit caused by dry solder joints on a couple of components.

 

Hi Steve 

The climate controlled unit is working perfectly and it's well illuminated. Just the illumination on the stereo, I would assume the bulbs have failed ? Just be nice to have a how to guide if there is one avaible

Thanks for repsonce

Hi sorry it's probably my explanation it must have been a long day!. I mean the stero the main unit under the climate control unit. 

Sorry for confusion 

Hi 

I've been doing some searching without any success. My 95 LS400 has failed cd player illumination bulbs. The unit itself is functioning correctly. I managed to find some information about a repair procedure but all the links are dead. Has anyone got the document?.

Thanks

Re LPG I use a company in South Wales called Profess who charge £1000 and do the job in a day and a really neat no problem install. They have done many of the LOC members all without problems. If you cant get a an excellent by word of mouth recommendations for an install don't use them as there are too many cowboys which include many UKLPG members. UKLPG give the idea that they are the Governments watchdog over gas installs but its a lie. They have no more power than you or me. I have run cars on LPG now for over 16/17 years and I have never had a problem with any of them. My LS loves LPG, she shows no sign of being underpowered when using it. She starts on petrol until she reaches a warm temp then she switches over to LPG auto.

The one you saw sound a bit of a minger. Be very careful of any cars for sale in the West Midlands/ Dudley If you pop Lexuschap into the search facility at the top of the page you will see chapter and verse. He has changed his name recently to Lexuslegend.

Thanks for the advise its helped greatly, I dont know many people who have had a conversion done. I found it on the internet they have very good reviews on google also seemed knowledgeable. Its called save LPG in west brom. But if they could turn a car round in a day a trip up to wales could be on the cards. Thanks for the heads up i have had a quick look on the search seems to be interesting reading and will avoid. Just hoping something decent turns up shortly. 

Thanks again

Yeah, i went to see an example today, the bodywork wasn't to bad but looking underneath the rear differential was soaking wet with oil and water leaks inside the car. There was also no evidence of the cambelt being done over its lifetime and no service history for over 10 years. I know there is bound to be some minor issues with a car related to this age but just after a loved honest and clean example. Hopefully someone from these forums who are usually enthusiast based might have something for sale?.  also "bluesman" i noticed your have your LS400 on LPG?, i contacted a local installer who is UKLPG aproved with a quotation of around 1000-1200 depending on the system, who also assured me he had performed several on this model of vehicle and they respond very well to the LPG!. How is your experience with the conversion? as this is what i intended to immediately after purchase.

Thanks for the response 

Hi all

I've been on the hunt for a decent LS400 for a couple of months now, Been to see multiple examples that have just been terrible and not as described. I am after a decent example that must be 1998 or older for insurance purposes. If you have one you would like to sell please let me know its will be going to good home where it will be cherished and looked after, I am from Wolverhampton but willing to travel if its the right car. I am not sure if i am allowed to list my contact number, so i am sure someone from the administration team will let me know?

Thanks
