Just an update i have put a deposit on the LS400 i looked at today. The car has a couple of faults that i found, firstly the dash has a problem not lighting up and the gas struts on the bonnet are weak, the dealer has agreed to put 12 months mot and 6 months tax on and sort the dash problem out, fit new struts. If the dash problem is not sorted he has agreed to return my deposit. Does anyone have any idea what the problem with the dash could be and what sort of cost to repair.
