Btw, LEZ in Scotland is also rectified.

Update: It appears that Clean Air Zone doesn't/didn't receive the correct data from DVLA, hence my car(LS430, 2002) was not compliant at couple of locations. It's been rectified now after I spoke to them directly. So If you believe your vehicle meets the criteria but the checker says you must pay the daily charge, contact the central Clean Air Zone support service on 0300 029 8888 to fix the data discrepancy. Lines are open from 8am to 7pm between Monday and Friday (except bank holidays) and 8am to 2pm on Saturday.

Welcome to the club, Yousuf.

Yes, it looks great even after 20+ years. Nope, I haven't refurbished the wheels(may be previous owner did it!)

Video that shows all four sides.. Video.mov

Yes, I agree with you. Garage guys advised me the same. Their recommendation was that if I kept the air suspension, there is a risk of potential issues with either the height sensor or suspension components, which would require frequent visits for repairs. Therefore, they advised me to opt for coil overs instead.

Yes, they stopped suspension warning coming on and performed wheel alignment as well. I believe anti-seize type lubricant or wax was applied to the suspension to avoid any damages due to height adjustments.

Car looks much better now, ride is slightly harsher than I expected, happy with the suspension though!

@steve2006 The garage charged £400 + VAT to replace all four sides. So Total : £1171 (Parts £691 + Labour charges of £480).

@steve2006 Sorry, I haven't checked how many hours it is going take to replace those coil overs. I will let you know after few days. @The-Acre thanks for the information.

@messi thanks for the information. Since radiator was replaced 6 years ago, I haven't fitted separate gearbox cooler. Since you asked the question, I will have to think about it now.

Purchased TEIN FLEX Z COILOVERS for LEXUS LS430 and it will be delivered to the garage end of this week. Hopefully it should be ok..

My car's air suspension seems to have problems. It's become onesided recently, and the mechanic suggested that the rear height sensor and suspension components need replacement. They've advised switching both the front and rear from air suspension to coilovers now. TEIN FLEX Z COILOVERS LEXUS LS430 (Parts £780 + Labour charges of £600). Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

@BigBoomer Btw, thanks for the information regarding NHMC level. I browsed few websites, they all mention about Euro 4 standard, but they don't provide me with the specification. I would like to obtain Euro 4 standard specification from an official source to submit a request to Birmingham and Bristol councils. Do you have any specific link or website that shows these specification , please? thanks!

@BigBoomer Nope, I didn't set my car specification to Euro 4 as it was not available in my V5 document- similar to your document. How ever, I separately submitted a request to them by attaching my v5 and explaining the situation i.e. CO, HC, and NOx levels and those are all that meet the Euro 4 specifications.
