Thanks to those that helped me save my LS600hl last year from becoming an insurance right off. I now need everyone's help once more. The CD side of my system is refusing to play. Also CD's are very hot when I've ejected them. Has any one got any ideas on what I could try to get it working, OR, does any one know of any experts in the Kent area. Once upon a time there were lots of vehicle entertainment repair shops operating, can't seem to find any these days, any recommendations gratefully received as I'm a pensioner and under a budget trying to keep my modern classic working . Thanks in advance Rick

Hi Malc, sorry for the delay in replying due to a lot of to-ing and fro-ing between me and the insurance mediators who basically wanted to right off my perfectly good, if a little dented, car. The good news is that thanks to you guys at the Lexus owners club, I've managed to source a second-hand door complete with glass and wing mirror albeit a different colour. So, now waiting on it's delivery and fixing a date for the repair to proceed. Thanks again all. Hopefully see you out and about some time, regards, Rick

Thank you all so much for your suggestions and advice so far, looking into your ideas. any further ideas will always be gratefully received. I'll try to keep you all up to date, thanks again, Rick

Hello everyone, I really need your memberships help. My name's Rick and I've just found your site after 8 years of owning an LS430L, which I gave to my niece when her car gave up the ghost. I bought an LS600hl (14 years old) as a replacement which took all my savings, but I can honestly say it's the best car I've ever driven, I was a chauffeur for a good number of years and have driven over a million miles in my driving career. Being nearly 70 and a pensioner now, I expected this car to last me, possibly till I hung up my licence. However, I've only had it 5 months and a week ago I caught a low metal and concrete post, which was slightly below my eyeline, whilst executing a very tight 120 degree left turn severely denting the front passenger door, enough to put a crack in the window glass, and dent in the sill. Because of the age I guess, my insurers, Churchill, have said it is not viable to repair the damage. Now this is where your help would be very much appreciated, I know it's a fairly rare beast, but, can anyone point me in the direction of any breakers, or owners of a second-hand nearside front door, any colour, it can always be repainted, so I can save this beautiful example of Lexus workmanship from the scrapheap as I really love this car. Everything on the car still works perfectly (except nearside front window, still trapped by the dent in the door) and any help with my quest will be greatly received, God Bless you all, regards, Rick
