  1. lexus bristol & cardiff charge the same, A service all inclusive price of £250, B service is £450. only extras if there is additional work required. seem helpfull enough in Bristol, though they could not do a gearbox oil change so took it to toyota in cheltenham. Robin.... I use Stockport alot, A = £170+vat, B= £300 & cambelt change £300. Never had any problems, they ring if you require any extras fitted and if you book in advance they will collect your car and leave a IS200. ←
  2. the P6000 (j) is the one... but make sure you get the (j) model ← whats the J signify ?
  3. hi i have the circuit diagram of the starter circuit if that helps. having looked at it, there are several fuses & interlocks & relays on the system. i can fax or scan it & email it too you if that helps. Robin...
  4. sounds like the starter solanoid has gone. or the fuse to the solonoid or the relay for the soloniod. have your checked these ? the park sensor sounds like you have checked. the crude way of checking the starter soloind is to short out & by- pass the solonoid, though you have to be very carfull in what you are doing as large ammounts of current will flow ! sparks will fly. a spanner across the terminals.
  5. do you have too much oil in the engine ? my other car a toyota - the oil light flashes when overfilled. this can be worse than too little oil as when moving parts rotate & cant move the oil out of the way, something gives. normally the engine wall. this is very expensive as you can imagine. - however probalby is just the sensor but make usre car is level & check the oil leverl both hot & cold.
  6. have you tried breakers yard. ? ← 'Swiftsalvage@aol.com' 'Sales1@midkentbreakers.co.uk'
  7. on the 96 models it is a scorpion t5000, this was fitted lexus uk. unfortunetly scorpion went bust a year ago. you cannot get parts or get them repaired. i even spoke to the people that took over scorpion, but there only solution was to buy a new system i ended up getting a toad system fitted, (thatcham approved) not cheap but lifetime gaurantee & supposed to have good reliability record.
  8. hi my car for the last week (ls400 96 vintage) has been making a noise from the front off side suspension. it is a creaky noise. it only happens at low speed (less than 20mph), it is on gentle bumps /road undulations only. seems to be worse after driven a few miles & car is warmed up. does not effect ride of handling in slightest, just iritating. took it to garage (toyota in cheltenham- ex lexus). they think it is the shock obsorber that is causing it. any other thoughts before i splash out on new shocks ?
  9. not on a lexus. i have on mercedes cars & they use the teleatlas disks, except for very old cars they all use the teleatlas dx (the old ones non dx disks). these disks are used also in bmw, audi etc etc. pioneer also use teleatlas disks, though not sure of which type. i am not sure who makes the lexus system, wethers its denso or other but thats why if he could find someone with a 98 model & borrow a disk to try out. the nav system should be able to upload the data if the correct disk is used. if it isnt then you will just get an error message. better to try that than spend couple of grand on an upgrade that may not work anyhow.
