Thanks for all the useful info.

I too have the heating element showing through the silvering on my passenger side door mirror (1998 LS400) - an obvious MOT fail in a months time.

New replacement mirror (glass only) from local dealer is prohibitive and needs to be on 'special order'.

The e-bay mirrors seem to be a glass overlay type held in place with double sided self adhesive pads.

Can anyone advise is this satisfactory please?

Thanks Hogie.

I hope the same is true of my transmission. I took the car to the local Lexus dealer who said the 2 nd gear valve was breaking up. Needless to say I didn't believe him because Lexus would take precautions against this. Also I have little confidence in this Garage's abilities to correctly diagnose problems.

I shall do as you did and go to a specialist.

Regards,

I have an early LS 400 (1991) fitted with a 3 speed plus overdrive transmission.

A few miles into any trip I get the amber O/D light flashing slowly. The main dealer refuses to tell me what this indicates.

Can anyone out there with a workshop manual advise what this little amber light is trying to tell me please?

Thanks in advance,
