    Weird clunk noise from my motor. Piston slap? Rod knock? Exhaust manifold leak? Who’s to say?

    Hard to identify what you are referring to, but if it's the occasional metallic sound, it seemed to me to be coming from the bell housing maybe.

    Clockspring and/or horn button

    Curious as to what didn't fit. I bought mine on ebay for a 2002 LX 470 and it fit. I suspect it might have something to do with how many controls/wires are in the clock spring. Maybe post a photo of yours and the one which didn't fit.

    Didn't you order one on eBay?

    Oponion on Japan-Import LC100 1998/1999?

    Without hesitation I would choose the diesel but I have a fair amount of experience working on diesels and driving a 70 series briefly in Australia. But, you should be aware that very few diesel mechanics have experience working on Toyota diesels in the USA. I'm sure I will be corrected if I...

    Anything Alarming Here at First Glance?

    We paid $15k recently for a 2002 lx470 rust free with 143k and suspension recently swapped out for the LC lifted version by Slee. It still had the original plastic heater T's and a busted clock spring though. Timing belt was done. That price seems high to me.

    100 series won't start - brand new Toyota battery - TIA!

    A 12 volt lead acid battery at 12.5 volts is only at 70% of capacity. A full charged 12 volt lead acid battery should read 12.8 volts at least. 12.2 volts is 50% discharged. I suspect you have a parasitic draw draining the battery. You could load test the battery. Harbor Freight sells an...

    Emissions fail: high NOx getting higher?

    Urban Auto Car on East Evans has resolved emissions problems on my 80 series a few times. Can't directly speak to their expertise on 100 Series. I think they charge around $200 minimum diagnostic fee.

    LC100 Weak Brake

    Yes. I would measure it where the vacuum line attaches to the booster. I use a MityVac. It's also useful for testing whether or not the booster is holding vacuum.

    LX470 spare tire key

    New LX470 owner here who ran across this thread. I had no idea. I'm attaching a picture of my tool kit. Looks like I have a wheel key but nothing that looks like a key for the spare tire winch mechanism. I looked to see if the winch mechanism was keyed but it's bright daylight out and...

    LC100 Weak Brake

    I wouldn't replace the booster again without confirming that it is actually getting the appropriate amount of vacuum.

    LC100 Weak Brake

    As suggested above, have you checked the vacuum level going to the booster?

    O2 LX470 master/valet key question

    Update: I ordered a cut-by-photo key with remote off ebay. I'll update after it arrives and I try to program it. Cost with tax was about $65 so it seemed worth the price to give it a shot. Ace was charging $100 for a non-remote key and $300 for a remote key.

    O2 LX470 master/valet key question

    Unfortunately no. They kept the keys to return to their supplier for a refund since they considered them duds. They plugged a device into the OBDII connector and then accessed it with a tablet in order to do the programming.

    O2 LX470 master/valet key question

    Thank you. I did find the security light, perhaps because now it is dark outside. The light goes out upon insertion of each key. From what I gather this means I have two master keys. I purchased a non-remote key and they attempted to program it at Ace Hardware. They tried probably 8 times...

    O2 LX470 master/valet key question

    Recently bought an 02 Lexus LX470. Got two keys, one with a remote and one without. Both are cut the same. I think this means both are valet keys or both are master keys. I tried to get a new master key made at Ace Hardware today and while their computer said the new key was programmed it...

    They're the high point in the system so you don't loose much. A cup or two?

    What's the "extra" connector in my steering wheel for?

    An additional thought, I think there has to be some mechanism in the SRS computer for checking the ground on the airbag system since there's a code which sets of the light when this happens. I believe this disarms the airbag in some say since when my clock spring failed the horn and cruise...
