Forgot to mention, I had a brand new stainless steel (full) exhaust fitted about 3 years ago.

Hi all! I have a 2000 Lexus GS430 Sport (silver with black leather) which I have owned for the last 11 years but it never really use it and am thinking of selling. It has 120k on the clock and it's done 14k in the last 11 years and just under 5000 in the last 7 years. I don't have much recent service history, everything works except for the heather which works intermittently. Bodywork is tidy with a few age related marks. I would be happy to know what you think it might be worth and it anyone may be interested in purchasing before I put it on Autotrader. If you need any more info please let me know. Thanks in advance.

All sorted - took a little longer than expected but £50 it's now working perfectly.

Thanks for your suggestions - unfortunately none of them worked, had a local mechanic to have a look at it and it transpired that a return spring the the nclosing mechanism has stretched - he is mgoing to shoten it so that it will work again - he said it woud be about a 1hr job and ite geting sorted on Monday.

Hi - I have a 2001 GS430 Sport and after charging the battery yesterday, the bonnet won't stay closed. It looks like the bonnet release cable has either stretched or has got stuck as the release handle won't go back in place - anyone else ever come across this or got any suggestions????

Got it Sorted - Very Quick Fix. Just found some older posts on this and did the Yaw Sensor Recalibration as referred to here: - http://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls430/329133-check-vsc-vsc-off.html Oh the joy of the internet !!

Hi Guys - Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this. My car was picked uo by the garage (non-Lexus) for a full service. On getting the car back and reversing out of the garage, the VSC and VSC Off lights came on effectively disabling the Vehicle Stability Control. I turned off the ignition, turned it on again and they went out. Started to move off again and they came on. They stay on all the time until the ignition is turned off. Turn it on again and the go out as usual until the car starts to move. Now everything was working ok when the car was picked up for the service. The car had a full service and a new battery fitted. Took the car back as the mechanic said that it could be something stuck to one of the wheen sensors - the wheels were taken off again, cleaned and put back on but the problem still pesists. Any ideas??? Lexus 430 Sport (2001).

All Sorted - turned out that it was just some plug or other that they forgot to connect :D

talked to garage this morning - they apologised and are picking the casr up on Monday - I just thought if anyone knew if it was just a simple case of pulling the fuse or something

I have just received my car back from a major service - when I start it up I get a message on the screen that says "CHECK AIR CONDITIONER" and there is no cold air. When I select the "Climate" screen the A/C indicator flashes. I have had a look through the owners manual and a few posts on LOC without sucess - any ideas would be appreciated. If this helps it was the 100k service with cambelt change so I assume they would have had to fiddle with the AirCon at somestage to remove belt.

I've just had my lower ball joints and suspension bushes replaced - the car feels like new. Total cost through local garage £272 (including 2 hrs labour). 60% recovered from warranty (Click4Warranty) which covers wear & tear to car providing it has FSH. I'm asking the garage what (it anything) needs doing next.
