Hey Guys,

Aplogies, sold the car a few weeks ago now, havent signed in for a while.

Hey Guys,

I have just noticed both Battery terminals do turn when moving them, but they are at the tightest they can be, anyone know what replacements would work?

It's got worse over the past few days, does eventually start but does click a lot, hoping its just loose Battery terminals so looking to get them replaced 

Cheers!

Brad

Hi Guys,

Car has been fine for a while, then every few weeks or if car has been left for over a week sitting, the starter will click a few times then fire into life?

Is the starter going? anything else to look at before attempting a starter replacement?

Cheers.

Brad

Brad, what can I say .............  you're the envy of many here .......  wot a steal at £500 .........  she looks pretty darned good and with a little fettling could last you forever, the Mk3 ( yours ) is the best for sure  .....................

Use her just as much as you can, they are wonderful cars as  a daily driver .......... time's slowly approaching when you're maybe going to be faced with some suspension worries but buying the parts assiduously from Amayama and Rockauto will lessen the pain considerably and there's heaps of good advice here from many with knowledge of these issues too

Mine's at 232k miles and I'm expecting her to outlast me driving ........  maybe another 20+ years hopefully 

Certainly the best car purchase you will have ever made .......  zero depreciation and at that price very likely good appreciation and superb driving comfort, reliabilty and silly low expense costwise

Well done

Malc

 

 

Thanks Malc!

I forgot to mention after filtering through the service history I can see it had two new front springs & shocks recently, backs are still standard I believe!

it drives superb! far exceeded my expectations for how much it was!

looks like it’s had auto transmission service a while back, and regular oil changes

Very nice👍 A bargain at that price! Should serve you many years at only 145k.

Enjoy!

I'm hoping so! as long as the rust doesnt kill the car eventually 😛 

I paid £20 on eBay for some, got round to fitting them last week, not sure if genuine but were easy to fit and now the bonnet stays up! 😄 

Much easier to do with two pairs of hands though!

Hi Everyone!

Got my FIRST Lexus last week in form of a 1996 LS400!

It only cost me £500 and I have to say what a car for the money!

Has Main Dealer History up to 2014, Cambelt was done at 111k (Now at 145k) and I'm yet to find anything wrong with it yet!

I'd say a good buy!

Hopefully keeping this one, has a bit of rust on most of the arches but i would expect that for a UK Car

Cheers,

Brad
