LEXTORIA

Hi, has anyone had any success repairing or replacing the rev counter and speedo needles that have faded to half their normal lit length please? Would it be worth replacing them with a s/h speedo pod and if so will the same problem develop.. Can you actually buy the replacement needles from Lexus and am I right in thinking they have some kind of electro-lumin circuitry. Any ideas gratefully received!

Thanks Helio, As it transpires and after browbeating and threatening to kneecap my local dealer (EDINBURGH, STILL NO DISCOUNTS :(), we came to the conclusion that the £800·00+ unit was not required as it was only the LCD panel which was faulty. This could be easily resolved by purchasing a new facia panel, this also includes the Air Con control buttons, and an absolute bargain at a mere £358·00+. This was duly purchased and fitted by myself in 10 minutes. Dealer wanted car for a day as they had never exchanged one, so they did not know how long it would take. NOTE TO ALL:- This part was NOT on the micro-fische, it was only located by contacting Lexus Head Office! How many other parts are only available via a call to Head Office??? :flaming: Thanks Again Jimbo-6 ← Wow-I have just brought a 15 year old LS 400 with the same problem-OOPS!!! There must surely be a cheaper alternative... Anyone any further ideas on this common problem-- pleeaseee ;-(
