My check engine light came on, took it to the mechanic who says machine gives emissions or Catalytic converter code. On the advice of the mechanic I took it to a muffler shop can replace new to the tune of $480 or a rebuilt/remanufactured one for half. My car is a 2000 LS400; should I replace the converter? I have heard that I don't have to keep it? Advice, suggestions please. Connie

Excellent thank you so much! p.s. never mind your hands...lol!

Thank you for the link; I've checked it out and it's a good one. The tail lamp I'm referring to is mounted in the back window, not the trunk area.

Thank you Steve; the doors don't lock, but I drove a 2006 Camry V6 XLE whose doors did lock when I put the car in gear, I miss that feature especially since I drive my 2 year old grandson around sometimes and have to remember to lock all doors! I guess I was hoping that it did have the feature is why I asked. Thank you again.

I purchased a LS 400 Platninum series in November; are the doors supposed to lock once the car is put in gear? The CD player skips terribly and the radio gives off static when the vehicle stops. Any suggestions? I also have the tail lamp failure message in the dash; it the high trunk tail light on the driver's side. Can I replace it myself? How do I get to the bulb?
