Sorry I missed out that info! The MARK is '5024', so https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-ls-phase-3-radiator-mark-5024/ 16400-50241 ( 'MARK' 5024 Type B ) looks like the best bet. Thanks everyone for your help!

Hi, can someone tell me where I can source a replacement radiator, part no. 422132-3836 I have looked on Rockauto and amayama and whilst there are radiators, none share the same part number - am I alright to use these? I know that some radiators (USDM maybe?) don't have an expansion tank to the left of the engine bay like mine. I have been looking at this one https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=4722936&cc=1432014&pt=2172&jsn=2797 Thanks.

This is most likely a "feature" of the smart key where holding the unlock button for a period of time will unlock the doors and then open all windows and the sunroof. Holding the lock button will close them. This becomes a problem if you accidentally sit on the unlock button when the keys are in your pocket for example - my bets are on this. If you can rule this out by trying it yourself then I'm not sure of the issue.

All MOTs pre 2006 will not "exist" when checking online as the test was not "computerised" yet.

It sounds like the pre-collision warning was triggered - did you feel a tightening of the seat belt at all? Did it look similar to this video I came across? - I hope you wasn't driving like this 😋

No "easy" way to turn off the stability control in the facelift models so no fun allowed 😁!

After going up massively this past year, my renewal is actually down a fair amount to the same price I was paying when I was 19 - still one of the cheapest cars to insure that I've looked at. I can't complain really when you see what other people my age are paying...

I thought about this recently, although in the UK - I've seen a fair few LS400's and quite a few SC430s' but only a handful of LS430's about, always give/receive a flash of the lights or a beep from all however, even the odd comment here and there.

Glad we figured it out! That is correct. Usually once I have parked the compressor will kick in after about 10 seconds, I then wait for it to stop before switching the car off just so it is level. You may also notice it after coming to a stop after travelling at high speeds. This is because the car will lower itself down to improve fuel economy above 60mph I believe. If you can feel the compressor kick in through the footwell area, the mounts may need replacing on the air compressor - I have left mine at the moment as I don't really mind the noise/vibration.

Did you try manually adjusting the height of the air suspension, just to rule it out? You should have a button near the gear selector that says something like "Height - High" and should run the air compressor for around 30 seconds to raise the car a little bit.

I've only owned 2 Skoda Octavias and my current LS430 in my 4 years of driving so I am yet to own a sports car 😁. The thought of an IS F does interest me greatly…

Late to the topic but I have had a Carista OBD2 plugged in for months at a time and have had no issues in my LS430.

If you have air suspension then it could be the compressor kicking in? When parking up or stopping after driving at higher speeds I can hear and feel mine kick in for about 20-30 seconds to raise the car up. You could try manually changing the cars height and listen out for the same noise.

Just hit 160,000 myself!
