It's in daily use. I do 150 miles a week (on LPG). Not sure what's going on with the coolant levels.

spoke too soon. I topped up and for some reason the coolant dissappears and goes low again. Does this mean that the coolant was really really low and I just have to keep topping it up up till it gets to the right level?

just got instant results. topped up the coolant and it's working now. so do you recon there's a leak?

I've just taken 2 pictures. The temperature gauge is is in the middle. But the coolant is low.. should I top it up. a few days ago I opened the coolant tank cap when the car was on and hot and the coolant when right up.

I've never changed the water pump in my 3 years ownership. Previous owner changed the cam belt so might have also changed the water pump. Not 100% sure. I've noticed during my ownership that the coolant nearly always goes below 'LOW' level when cold. Is this an issue?

Hello The LS430 only blows warm air when I accelerate. What's up with it.? Need my heaters working quick before winter sets in. Thanks

That's definitely an idea. I'll chat to my insurance and see what they say.

A part of me is saying to just keep it. If I ain't going to use it then perhaps SORN it and store it till when I need it. But it looks like I'll probably have to let it go for less than what I'd wish I would want for it. The mileage to me is not an issue if kept well but I know buyers won't look at it the way I will.

Hello I'm thinking of selling my LS430 for personal reasons. Can members give me an estimated realistic price I should advertise it for. A bit about the car - It's got 197k on it and it's a 2003. Mechanically absolutely sound. No issues at all. Just the CD player doesn't work. Extra gearbox radiator installed. I've serviced it on time every time. I think it's a bit rare because it's black with black interior. And it's got factory fitted coils so it's non air suspension from factory. No rear seat functions. LPG converted 9 months ago. What's my LS430 worth? Thanks

Phew All sorted. It was indeed a connector that he'd forgotten to put back on. All lights are now off. Thanks

Hello okay so in a previous thread I asked if the rocker seal labour cost of £100 is okay. Was reassured by members on that. However, I just got the car back after the mechanic changed the rocker seal and spark plug gaskets and now the Check VSC and Engine lights are on! Whats going on do you recon. He said is bringing up p1656 code. One headache after another! Please help.

Damn!! A new problem. Just got the car back from the mechanic and now the bloody Check VSC light is on! Whats going on?

you're right. They do cost around £30 from dealer. However, they wanted £30 for the 8 spark plug gaskets. riiiippp ooffff So I though id pay £45 for a decent pair including the spark plug gaskets

thanks guys.
