Chris, I am sorry to hear your news. Best of luck.

Its been on sale 3 times so far at different prices...makes one wonder why ?

Steve surely you could bring this one back to life in a jiffy ! :o)

Welcome to the world of the LS400. Great cars that very rarely go wrong if they are maintained. With yours first thing I would attend to, like asap, is the power steering leak....fluid leaks down on to the alternator and thats the alternator gone too. Bonnet struts are not difficult to change and I think they can be regassed....someone with more knowledge will be able to confirm .....but anyway enjoy.

Yes worth a look but there is also a 1993 with 76000 on the clock going for £850. Prices seem all over the place at the moment.

Gary please excuse my rudeness for not welcoming you to the delights of the LS400 and the forum. Happy motoring!

Yeah Mike but since you only drive 1000 miles a year no way of really knowing :0) Force field activated :o)

Steve is that A, B or C? :o)

Then comes the next issue...do you want your non ls400 loving brother driving a near mint ls400 that you will have bought? Sorry I am being mischievous !

Messi.....no point in buying it especially since your brother wont drive an LS400 :0) PS if my calculations are correct you should be having your op soon...good luck in advance

Congrats !

Pity cruelty to cars is not a crime !

Messi I am sorry if what I am about to say is out of line, but let me understand this. You are about to have an operation on your hand that could leave your arm with no feeling. Your brother, your next of kin, your blood, is going to drive you around and because he doesnt like your car you trying to upgrade? Firstly this is about you, your comfort and your welbeing, not his. If he were my brother I'd punch him hard with my good hand and tell him to wake up and remember why he is doing this. On another note, you say that you may lose the feeling in your arm, I dont know the rules but losing the feeling and driving but the op doesnt stop you using your arm and hand does it? So there must be a solution that the brains on this forum can suggest. Again I am sorry if I am speaking out of turn but we see so much suffering in this world that it just irritates me when I read things like this. Said my peace I'll shut up now.

True unless the new ecu also has an issue ? It would seem that even non leaky capacitors are known to be faulty and that really is the only weakness in our cars. One more things ..both sensors fail at the same time ? Is that really possible? No really the last thing the ecu controls everything so what damage could be caused to it bearing in mind the new ecu hasnt blown itself up......you could try the new ecu in your working car to see if any faults are transferred. Did I just confuse you and me at the same time?

Perhaps a daft suggestion but if you put the ecu from your working Celsior do the codes still flag up....if they don't that rules out the o2 sensors and suggests the new ecu may not be compatible...or is this too dangerous to consider?

Whilst I hadnt considered the BBC angle in this instance, I have often wondered why so many cars are simply destroyed and or left to rot. Why does the BBC approve such waste?

Have a look at www.oxygensensors.com. I have read of people using universal sensors but that they require some modifications. Hope this is of some use.

I am not sure if this deplorable act of gross stupidity has been seen on the forum, if so I apologise for posting it again. For those of you with a weak disposition please have medical assistance to hand Such a waste !

Congrats jim and thankyou steve for proving that there are still people willing to help others ...

Wasn't what? Grinning from ear to ear?

Well they are not getting mine !

Sorry to change the subject slightly but I didnt want to start a new thread unnecessarily. What do you make of this one http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=161086663860 Its been on and off for the last few months at a variety of prices. For me the interest is the year and colour being the same as mine. Mind you the very words "thinking of buying a car " sends swmbo into a rage.

I should have said " in the very unlikely, highly exceptional circumstances, should they suffer an almost unimaginable breakdown" Better ?

Well whoever does buy it, if they have the misfortune to breakdown on the way home, they can always go back to the seller and buy his other item on sale..... http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=130966854298 Good deal £ 6000 approx gets you an LS with its own tow truck ! :o)

Just in case anyone missed this one....don't like the wheels myself..also didnt know the LOC knows everyones mileage..but his claim is incorrect. Not a bad example ? http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=130969261507
