I have a RX450 with a tow bar fitted, I unfortunately reversed into my neighbour's car. I broke the number plate holder and caused a crack behind it on her bumper.

I told her about it (trying to do the right thing) and did contact my insurance, RAC arranged cover to report it. Sadly my insurance through them has now jumped up a tad.....

Needless to say they will not be getting my business at renewal. Latest quote £640 on confused.com, £240 above previous renewal, still trying new sites for quotes. 

Fabric tape has very little glue to cause problems like that and is heat resistant...

Hi Nigel

So far the fabric tape is doing its job on the drivers side, which is where the knocking noise happened on road bumps!

Still got a whole roll of tape I ordered from amazon, I will bring it to the SC430 meet in June, for anyone else who has this problem to use! 

Great without the noise....

Hi Tried some fabric tape today on the front of the SC430 roof as it joins into the front windscreen. I also did not find the areas in the video featured on the IS250 compatible with the SC430 system. But this Youtube video is useful, as it looks at the 5 Best lubricants for restoring rubber seals! I have the ShinEtsu silicon grease for my SC430👌                                                                                                                                

Purchased the throttle controller from SC430Mods no Vat or duty asked for... great product and a must have mod for SC430 owners👍

Hi SC430Mods.com, will be selling to UK SC430 owners, their replacementSat Nav system (only available in USA at the moment).

Worth waiting for see .....

Nick, thank you for your update, great looking SC430!

Keep us up to date on your progress and on what parts you use with cost of fitting👍

jack

This is the cost of original parts from Amayama

...

Thanks for your post Bob, you had an early model I think, do they make them for the 2nd generation 2007 model?

No problems on my latest MOT in February 2023, I had new tyres last year going to 245/45/R18, up on standard 245/40/R18 to give a softer ride!

But the potholes and rough roads in South Wales are still causing the car to bang in the pot holes, all good on smooth motorways.

So all parts must have a life expectancy, so after 108,000 miles I thought upgrade the suspension to new standard parts from Toyota keeping it stock.

Noticed that in the USA they can buy suspension kits, but not from Toyota. 

Hi has anyone had their front suspension replaced, with original Toyota  parts, to refresh their SC430's front suspension? After 100,000 I think it might need replacing with new.

If so what was the general cost overall for the parts and then fitting?

Also after cleaning use a colour dye from the company below, they have a colour matching service, you cut a piece of leather from out of sight ,underneath the seat and send it to them!

Hi I had my SC 430 treated at South West Rust Proofing for the underneath using the Dinitrol treatment for about £600...

They had it for two days, steam clean and then the various treatments, all good

On my SC430 I have Bridgestone tyres, 245/45/R18's set at 35 psi.....
