Hi, for my 2000 LX470, I just installed new all-weather tires (Kumho Road Venture AT51), had to go with 265/75/R16 rather than stock size because of availability. The truck also has the AHC removed and replaced with LC type suspension around 5 years ago. I will take truck in for a...

Thanks for all the feedback, when I went for the test drive with cheque in hand, there were a few issues that made me pass up the deal (undercarriage rust, slight vibration, brake pedal real low), but will continue looking. Happy to know that a lot of work can be done by a local shop.

Awesome thanks, that is another great reason to stick with the LX family. My wife is nervous about buying used at that price given that we could get an almost new Explorer or Pathfinder for similar cost, but I am not too worried about the 80k on the odo and future maintenance based on how well...

Great good to know. Yes, checked Lexus.com with VIN, not much there, vehicle was imported to Canada a few years ago and Canada Lexus website does not offer the history check so am pretty much blind. Has a clean carfax, but will probably change all fluids right away to be safe. What would be...

Hi, am the happy owner of a 2000 LX470 with 270k miles on it and am thinking of upgrading to a 2014 LX570 with 80k miles. The maintenance history is short at Lexus and there is not much info on the vehicle about what has been done over the years, would be bought from a Ford dealer and they do...

Thanks for the feedback, great information!

Hi, I noticed that the green headlight indicator and the orange airbag indicator lamps no longer turn on in the instrument cluster on my 2000 LX470 (airbag indicator with ignition on and headlight indicator with headlights on). 1. Are these lit with bulbs that can be replaced or is it more...

Thanks, am interested,PM sent.

Thanks, did not know about that site!

Hi, I have a 2000LX with 250k miles on it and previous owner had put some aftermarket shocks and springs and had AHC removed. I want to put OEM LC shocks and when I put a 1'' wrench around the existing torsion bar it fits so indication that the bars were not switched out. Truck drives stiff and...

Thanks for checking, I should have added that my LX is 2000 model year. I just took photo of the clip, it does not look like part no above .

Hi, my antenna mast cord broke and so it is time to take out the antenna motor to do the repair. To access the motor, the wheel well liner needs to partially come out and it is held with some black plastic clips. I understand that these clips often break and so before I start the job, I would...

Hi, new owner of a 2000LX470, would like to start off by saying thanks to the responses I got on my last post (coil issue), the diagnosis was bang on and was able use the advice, save a trip to the dealer and do some wrenching, real happy about that. I have always wanted an LC100 or LX for...

Good idea, bought one today and came up with code P0304. Then I erased code, started car, still stuttered but no check engine light so will hope it is in cylinder 4 (which is on passenger side, 2nd from headlights if I read diagram correctly). I took off airbox, pulled the coil, and have...

Thanks, will do, hope it is the issue as that would be simple to fix.
