Go straight for the wiring loom that passes over the nearside boot lid hinge, it is wrapped in a black plastic sleeve, carefully open it up and look and feel for damaged wires,repair as required and retape.

Apparently when the cars where built they were not too generous on the wire lenghts and the opening of the boot over time causes breaks to the wire inside the insulation ( having said that it seems to take 14 years to cause a problem!).

Thanks again

Check out posts on here and LOC USA for weird faults caused by a break in the wiring in the boot hinge,

might be that......

Cheers; Will Check it out.

Thanks again

Possibly a faulty earth somewhere causing the strange light effects and a draining of power going to the engine

Hi Everyone

Can anyone tell me what may be wrong with my LS400 Beauty (1993, K Reg)

During the day it drives like normally - lots of power ..etc.

But when I turn on the side / headlights (most of the time but not all the time) my dashboard illuminates the [REVERSE] and the [FOG] icons. That I could live with but the car then LOSES POWER WHEN I TRY AND DRIVE IT. I MEAN I HAVE TO APPROACH 5000 RPM (MAKES A HELL OF A LOT OF NOISE) AND I CAN BARELY REACH 35-40MPH. NORMALLY THIS WOULD BE ENOUGH TO PEG IT PAST 100MPH :tsktsk: .

ANYONE ANY CLUES AS TO WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS. PLEASE REPLY ASASP.

THANKS

Hi

Can anyone tell me where I can buy the complete brake piping system (the pipes that carry the brake fluid to the calipers / pad / for an LS400 K Reg 1993. The current pipes have started to rust / rot (strangely enough the garage had another Lexus 1993 with exactly the same problem). Was this a design fault????

Spoke to Lexus and they were a little bit on the expensive side. And as for fitting, hey I could buy a second hand car for the price of the pipes and the fitting.

Anyway I would be grateful for a quick reply.

Hi

Got a 6 Disk CD Multi-Changer which is giving me grief from a 1993 LS400.

Can anyone tell me where I can get a second hand replacement, as new one costs A LOT OF MONEY. Put it this way I could buy 2 complete Non Lexus Systems for the price of 1 cd changer from Lexus

Please Help.
