Hi Barry
It is needed for hands free telephone use!

Hi Mark
It looks absolutely gorgeous, well done!
Perhaps we need a northern meet so it can be given a thorough once over!
We could also discuss the how and where to get all the extra features fitted.

Hi Phil
I know the colour you are talking about but I have only seen one in the flesh!
Having driven several LS400 in the past I was always impressed by the engine and the quality, so when I finally got the opportunity to buy a convertible the SC430 was always going to be the top of my list!

Hi Phil
Thanks, I have had it 7 months and I smile every time I get behind the wheel 😃
Yes I love my car especially with the top down and I'm lucky my son feels the same.
Yes seems unusual for us to have better weather up North but I'm sure you will get your turn

1. We went over to Marsden.
2 Then over the Pennines to Uppermill.
3. Back over the Pennines to Saddleworth.
4. Then Lexiguy Junior having a icecream in Holmfirth.
A great day washing it in the morning and enjoying a drive in the afternoon.

Welcome to the club Paul.
I wish you every success with your project and hope to see you at a meet somewhere in the country when they start up again.
Since owning an SC430 I have been amazed by the level of interest the Lexus dealer network has in the model. They have been very supportive and helpful on contact so don't be afraid to introduce yourself to them and use there knowledge and expertise.
Don't forget to tell us about your car, it's colour and trim and support with pics!

Also when was the cabin air filter last changed? Old and clogged filter will often also be damp and this can cause misting of the windows if not routinely changed
Hi Nemesis
Where is the cabin air filter located? On which routine services is it changed?
Thanks Ant

Thanks Anthony - you sound very similarly minded to my position. Quoted £2100 for audio and rear camera update - parking sensors -argh need those LOL - does the bluetooth not stream audio then - that's bad 🙂 - Going to be some CD purchases - back - back to the 80's!
Hi Mark
I am thinking that it would probably be a good idea to have a recording front camera wired in at the same time. A guy on here or another lexus forum recommended one which also flags up safety cameras which would be a good bonus.
It would also be good to fit a more sophisticated alarm system because a bonus of that would be that I have seen that it is possible to put the roof up and down with the remote.
Who is the quote from? It may be worth me considering speaking to them.
It has been recommended to me that if I want the unit to be reliable to only use genuine cds and not to fill the autochanger.
I also recommend the latest Rod Stewart cd called Tears of Hercules, its brilliant and even my 11 year old sings along to all the tracks now!

Hi
I’m waiting for a not so cold day to have a look at it.
I have a couple of possible ways of fixing it, in my head, wether they will work or not I don’t know.
Please share your ideas, without which it certainly looks like it will pan out to be a bigger job!

Hi Russ
In all honesty mine is the same and I was waiting for the better weather to address the problem.
I looked and surmised the front seat would require removal and thought, that is a sunny day job!
When I do mine I will let you know if I learn any more.

That is your local Lexus dealer.

Welcome Mark, I bought a 2007 SC430 as a daily driver about 6 months ago.
I have always bought new well equipped cars and so it was a big change for me. I do have the use of my wifes car, a Suzuki Swace Hybrid which has proved useful in bad weather or for family travel.
It is a thirsty beast and has limited space in the back or the boot, but putting that aside it is without doubt the best car I have ever had and makes me smile every single time I get into it. They have an incredibly high specification for their age but I do miss parking sensors, rear camera and the ability to steam music from my phone. These can all be sorted if required (at a cost)
I have never regretted buying mine but my feelings are buy one with a good service history and the best condition you can find, irrespective of age or colour.
I have also found Lexus Leeds have been really helpful and would encourage you to acquaint yourself with them.
Regards, Anthony

Yes thats right but you will need access under the carpet to fit the rings!
That is removal of the sill trim and probably front seat.
Good luck mate, Anthony

My osr reflector lens on my SC430 has come adrift and dropped off. I need a new unit, has anyone got one I can buy or can send me a link to a reasonably priced one?
Thanks
