  1. hi, i installed the external transmission oil cooler from LexusSparesDirect on ebay a few days ago and have taken it for a few test drives to see the temperature of the transmission oil using my OBD plug-in. in normal driving with little stop start after about 15-20 minutes the temp is around 70c. after 15 miles up the motorway (18c sunny ambient temps) i saw a steady 76c. the 15 miles back (after a 3rd gear pull on the sliproad) i saw 81c, then it creeped back down to 79c by the time i came off again. back through town with a bit more stop start it reached upwards of 90c after a little pushing (50-75% throttle, 3-4k rpm upshifts) it reached 97c and stayed there until I reached my house (2 mins after) it was still 97c. Does anyone know if these are normal temps or something I should be worried about - I didn't want to push it any more because that seems fairly high but it could be norma. it's a shame i didn't think to check on these before i installed the cooler. edit: 2005 Lexus LS430 with 6 Speed Auto
  2. reviving an old thread to ask a stupid question, what do you block it off with to ensure there isn't a leak?
  3. my 2005 ls430 was in a nasty accident which left bad scrapes on the side of the front passenger door. there is someone breaking a prefacelift 2001 ls430 and he has a door for around £100 that is in much better condition then mine. are these compatible? i have keyless entry on my car and it appears the new door does to as it has the black button on the door handle - do both versions of the car use the same system/connectors for the keyless lock/unlock and do they have the same speaker set up and modules etc... also both cars are silver but are they the same colour or will there be a difference? thanks
