Yes, I have one. Are you able to explain quickly what I need to test for error code 13, or should I wait until my factory shop manuals arrive for the full lowdown? Thanks.

Cool. Thanks guys! My fuel consumption has got progressively worse over the past 2 years (now I struggle to get more than 18mpg unless I'm cruising at a steady speed). I've heard that worn out oxygen sensors can ultimately lead to problems with "cats" since you get over rich fuel/air...

Are we gonna be able to buy Andrew's new LS bushes separately? I probably wanna get the bushes for the rear axle carrier separately along with steering rack bushes if available, since I've replaced the front and rear control arms anyhow. Thanks.

I took my car to a shop which has a Hunter GSP9700 vibration control system. It applies the force equivalent to the road surface when balancing, and as such is supposed to take into account any problems with tyres. It's double the price of the normal balancing. I think you can find a shop near...

Now that I have spent most of the last 18 months rebuilding my suspension to factory specs, my check engine light comes on very briefly the other day! I read on this site and others about checking the engine codes.. I tried the paperclip method between the terminals, and I get the...

I have been quoted $110 for OEM wires, $36 for 2 caps, and $16 for 2 rotors. Will prob stick with OEM.

See the link attached. Do Bosch make the OEM rotors and caps? Has anyone had bad experience of not putting OEM rotors and caps on their car? Thanks. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33688&item=7918009170&rd=1

Thanks. An interesting point you raise there. I always used to fit Dunlop D8zs to the car and then I tried Michelin Pilot Primacys on the rear and now Dunlop SP Sport 01s on the front. I don't recall the vibration occuring when I had the D8zs on there. So I can go the balancing shop and they can...

The engine idle seems normal at around 600rpm. I had the sparks replaced last year. I guess it's a case of checking the distributor and the HT wires, right? Some people think it's a good idea to change the wires after 100k, and I've done 170k..

Hey dudes, Even after replacing both engine mounts and transmission mount, I am still suffering from some vibration in the cabin. a) You can feel the engine vibrating through the car when sitting at idle (regardless of P or D) through the shifter, the steering wheel, the armrest, the seat...

Thanks Zuffen. I will give that a go.

My left and right idler pulleys were changed but the serpentine idler pulley is very noisy and I would like to change it myself. The mechanic said it's not that difficult. Anyone ever done this before? Is there a tutorial somewhere around? How difficult is it to do? Thanks..

I picked my car on Friday. Wow, it handles and rides like a totally different car. Everything feels so tight and firm like it's a 2004 model car. I can now drive round bends at 60mph and not feel the tyres squealing. The engine mounts had come apart and the transmission mount was pretty much...

Dudes, I've just signed up for the Lexus UK track day. I get to burn around a track with IS200,IS300,SC430, GS430 and take the RX300 off road on a special circuit. I'm looking forward to it! http://www.lexus.co.uk/news.php?page=article&id=on_track Anyone done anything like this in the...

Dudes, I've decided to keep my car for another 5 years at least, so it's going in to the mechanic on Monday morning to have a bit of an overhaul. :lol: :D I'm changing the front lower control arms, front lower ball joints, front anti-roll bar bushes, strut bar cushions, both engine mounts...

well dude, I finally placed an order for my parts. The lower control arms (including the bushes) were 190 bucks each side. I prefer to keep the stock Lexus ride than go with polyurethane. Anyway, this is what I have ordered from Sewells in Texas. Front Lower control arms front lower ball...

Yeah, I hear what you are saying. Given the cost of new arms is relatively cheap thru these web suppliers, it's probably easier for me to just get the arms replaced. I just called another company up called fran auto parts in Miami which uses the exact same catalog but at slightly higher...

Dude, They don't have a phone number. It's all net based. I have emailed them to ask, but they haven't replied as yet. The parts are genuine new Lexus parts, since I got a quote for front lower control arms from Sewells in Texas (who are a Lexus dealer), and they were also quoting 188 bucks...

Guys, My first posting! Excellent site you have here. Essentially, I'm trying to place an order via www.oemwholesale.com for some front lower control arms for my 1992 LS400. However, their site confuses me. They have front lower control arms listed for 188 bucks each under the collision...
