Zahiedsc430

Hi mate Garages were quoting me north of 400 but managed to find a friend of a friend who did it for £200...plus £40 parts 🙂 Come on Bob u know I need more 'bling' than that 😜 lol I may go dark blue to match the car plus it's free (saving £150) 🙂

Don't tempt me Bob...just fronts or all 4? 🤣

Hahaha! That is true Bob...even I'm not brave enough for gold calipers...wheels yes lol! 😜🤣

Wow! My interior is a state also but slowly getting there.... Just to update everyone I got reluctor rings replaced and sensors cleaned and also fitted a replacement abs green relay in engine bay...and viola!!! Nothing lol! Codes are down to two now....left hand wheel speed sensor and abs malfunction...so next step is to see if I can take out the sensor and see if its faulty and replace...iv read around that it normally gets traction and abs functioning again so here's hoping....meanwhile I put on some new alloys! 18s....9.5 on rear, 8.5 on front....245/40/18 front tyres and 275/35/18 rear....just calipers next...any suggestion for colours? I can get red or dark blue done for free at work but was thinking maybe a lighter blue maybe?

Hehehe...your sc maybe lol mine...not quite so much lol motorway 60mph steering wobble, no abs or vsc, grimy cream interior, bashed and rusted side panel rear, buckled/dented alloys...clinking sound when braking...can't think of ANYTHING ELSE off the top of my head! 🤣🤣😭

Wow...if Neil is gonna do a 300 mile roundtrip to turn up then I'll definitely do the 40 mile roundtrip 🤣

Cheers both of you ..will try and make it...but honestly I'm embarrassed by the condition of my sc now...next to all those nicely done up and mint looking sc430's 🤣 I'll get my car sorted eventually...love this car! Hi Anthony, Not heard about it...sounds great! Would you mind sending me the details please? Cheers, Zahied

Cheers pal worth a look...the problem is finding competent mechanics around where I live ..they all bloody cowboys round here sadly! Iv had issues where tyre fitters have fitted the tyres the wrong direction...inside out...forgot to reconnect stuff etc...wild west out here! 🤣

Sadly Birmingham is full of rubbish mechanics...I will try and find someone who can help really....

Thanks for responding mate...not sure about the techstream live data...I'm a bit clueless ...wish o was near to someone who would be able to check it for me l...may have to bite the bullet and visit the main dealer 😞

What components would you swap though to check?...u know how clueless I am at cars Neil lol Don't know how to proceed...do I do the reluctor rings first and then try and find the disconnection after or check that first?

Talking to myself??! Sounds about right lol! Yes it was rather long winded but hopefully I can get some help sorted. I came from the sc430 lexus world forum but sadly no more! All forum help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Steve Thank you for responding. The codes that came back on were handbrake light and check engine light (expect that one as I have lpg conversion on it) all these lights are constantly on... I did the techstream reading and got these...i know a few of them are to do with changing the reluctor rings but if anyone else can share some insight that would be helpful...im not very mechanically minded so trying with limited knowledge and experience.

No-one got any thoughts or suggestions?....see people are as stumped as I am with this lol

Hi So I have had my lexus sc430 for a few years now and it had the abs issue at beginning and someone disconnected the abs somehow and I am about to get the reluctor rings sorted now and want abs and vsc to work on my car. Any ideas what this person might have removed or changed? I seem to recall he removed either a large fuse or relay and replaced it with a non working one but I cannot remember what...i have checked all abs/vsc fuses in the interior of the car as well as tested the relays in the large engine bay fuse box (green, blue and pink relay marked abs/vsc/trac) and they seem to be ok...the only fuses I can't check are the two clear ones abs 1 and and 2 (60 and 40 amp I believe) as they don't seem to be coming out. So basically on my dash the abs, vsc on and off lights and handbrake lights have been on permanently. I used techstream to clear codes but two came back on.... Ay ideas from anyone??? Thank you in advance....
