    Best replacement radiator for the money today...

    Warranty claim was filed with Mishimoto Friday, and I just got notice that the replacement radiator shipped today, Monday. I really don't want to spend the time reinstalling another flawed radiator, so I will likely try to leak/pressure test it before I make the swap.

    Best replacement radiator for the money today...

    They didn't ask about it. I think the I read somewhere that I was supposed to discard or destroy it. It looks to be an easy fix for someone that can weld aluminum though, so it will sit in the garage once the replacement goes in.

    Best replacement radiator for the money today...

    Yes, I reached out this morning and got a response this afternoon that they were sending me a new one. No questions asked. I had to pay shipping, which I was a little annoyed by. I did review the terms of the warranty though, and it specifies that a charge for shipping of a warranty replacement...

    Best replacement radiator for the money today...

    Well I have a brand new leaking Mishimoto. I installed it last weekend, and noticed a small bit of coolant on the ground two days later. I was finally able to find the leak tonight. It is coming from a weak spot in a weld at a bolt hole on the bottom. A buddy put a pressure test on it to about...

    replacing AHC globes/accumulators

    I was able to get my hands on 5L of new fluid, two 2.5L cans at an unfortunate markup, and I am going to try the flush and refill procedure that you laid out above. Hopefully to chase out any air that I introduced previously and the milky pink fluid. One of my biggest concerns about doing...

    LX 470/LC100 first-hand experience: Kings vs AHC (soft setting)?

    @suprarx7nut @GTV So adding spacers would seem to be the cheaper option than replacing the old Lexus springs with new Lexus springs, but would replacing the springs give a smoother ride than just adding spacers to the old springs? I was surprised that @MarkTR replaced the springs and was still...

    LX 470/LC100 first-hand experience: Kings vs AHC (soft setting)?

    Following. I replaced 4 globes and my rear pressure is still too high. I'm trying to decide between OEM rear springs and King springs. Most of my driving is just me and very little gear/equipment in the rear. I have also removed my third row, reducing the stock weight a little. I'm wondering if...

    What are the while I'm in here items during timing belt replacement?

    I had mine done recently by a home mechanic friend, and I was searching for the exact same thing as you WITH part numbers. This is the list that I landed on with part numbers for an 07 LX470 with 146k miles. This is probably overkill, but at his $50/hour rate I went for it. None of these had...

    replacing AHC globes/accumulators

    @IndroCruise Thanks for all the detailed info and for taking the time to respond. I did some more troubleshooting tonight, and I suspect that I introduced a s*** ton of air into the system when I bled the accumulator. I made the mistake of bleeding as much as I could until it was dry, instead...

    AHC Help: Can't clear code

    @Jcreme Was it easy to remove and clean the reservoir? Can the reservoir be removed by itself without pulling off the pump?

    replacing AHC globes/accumulators

    Thanks, I will try that. The globes are brand new OEM from Impex. I did not replace the accumulator. Until reading through your recent thread about bad fluid, I had only seen folks replacing the globes and didn't think about the accumulator going out. Hopefully when I check my pressures, the...
