    Check VSC & ABS issue

    I'm guessing my '98 LS diff is 4.26 ?... does the Supra Torsen suit that ratio ? Didn't know the GS400 has paddles... man I would love that.. Sounds like you had a good weekend on the track... What class is the LS in ?... have you got an action photo ?

    Check VSC & ABS issue

    A track car ?.... that's different... If you have no instruments then how do you know the ABS doesn't work ? i'm envious about the T2 Torsen diff... I'd love one.. my previous car was a Cressida Grande that had LSD as std and it was so much fun to drive in the wet and on dirt roads... could...

    '98 LS400 up & down play in steering column

    I have up & down play with the steering wheel.. it's not a problem as such it just annoys me... has anyone had this issue and fixed it ? Also at the end of the steering shaft right before the steering wheel goes on there is a 'snap ring'... What is a snap ring ?

    Check VSC & ABS issue

    Fuel & temp gauges not working properly

    Bugger me... got in the car yesterday and everything just worked just fine... it's all come good... so I'm guessing there was a bad earth or dry connection somewhere.... No doubt about it.. the LS400 is the worlds first self repairing car... no need to take it to a dealer... just keep driving it...

    Fuel & temp gauges not working properly

    OK... I'll try to look for a ground issue... Lately, sometimes, the speedo and tacho stop working... then next time I drive they start again... Years ago if I smacked the dash really hard they'd start... not this time... so yeah, I suspect it very well could be a bad connection... however the...

    Fuel & temp gauges not working properly

    Original engine.. original everything... I've wired up another water & oil temp gauge in the door pocket... but would be nice if the dash gauges worked properly.

    Fuel & temp gauges not working properly

    My fuel & temp gauges are working but wildly inaccurate... the digital speedo, tacho & digital fuel readout all good... Does anyone know if these can be fixed ?

    Valve clearances

    My '98 has 340.000 and runs beautiful... I doubt the valve clearances have ever been checked.... should I be concerned ?

    Check VSC & ABS issue

    A guy on the clublexus.com said he had exactly the same problem and it turned out to be the neutral safety switch... so i've just purchased a new generic one $40USD inc post to Australia... it's raining at present however tomorrow i'll go out and bridge those UBD pins and see what lights up.

    Check VSC & ABS issue

    Check VSC & ABS keeps coming up... I can reset it however when I start the car and put it into drive it comes back on...also now cannot get it out of PARK without first having to depress the PARK override button... I'm guess these 2 things are related because they both started playing up at the...

    Cam belt

    BTW.. just as a matter of maintenance I thought i'd replace the iridium plugs... put a new set in about 7 years ago well over 100,000km.. Since i bought a new set i put them in however the old ones looked like they could do another 7 years and the mixtures looked perfect.
