This is my first post on this web site. I have been impressed with the ammount of help put out to keep these fine auto's going strong. Three months ago I purchased a '92 ls400 with 162k from the original owner. The car was well maintained, all new suspention, water pump, timing belt, rotors, pads etc. etc. I have 3 issues. CLIMATE CONTROL display is black. After viewing posts I think I will go with Mikado on this one. POWER MIRRORS don't work-I've been searching this site to see if there are any other posts concerning this topic and I am unable to find one. There is power going to the module behind the switch but Mirrors don't work. Is there any club member(s) have a similar problem and could you help me in diagnosing. A new module is about $350 (Alot!). What are my options?
The other issue is the car is in need of a VALVE ADJUSTMENT (sounds kinda like a MB 300SD). Could anyone tell me the size of the shims needed and what do you think I should be paying for this service?
BTW-I have had a new Volvo S90 and a new Audi A4 2.8 over the past 6 years and I cannot beleive how great this car is with this kinda mileage. I work on the road as a rep and this car rides so much better than other car I have ever owned. I can truley understand the passion you all have for these cars!!!! BTW my other car is an "84 Porsche 911 with 9k miles so I do have an understanding of build quality.
Thanks in advence-please help.
Mike
