Hello

Im looking for a Grill for my 90 LS400. Would love a 93 LS400 plastic grill but dealer wants $580AUD with emblem (About $500USD) which is !Removed!.

So as i was least expecting it, I saw this aftermarket Grill and i really love it. Anyone know where i can get one from? Thanks in advance

Is the ride really really bad on bad suspension or is it just the !Removed! looks?

Ikirchner what type merc is that? SL or SLK?

I just found this and its quite interesting

Just out of curiosity, i was considering a 92 S-Class before i brought my LS400. Has anyone owned a W140 Merc? How do they comapre with the LS400?

Could it be a CV joint?

I was actually thinking how do you disconnect the dash light that keeps flashing?

Hello

Im just wondering where can i find those clear front corner lights for my GEN I LS400.

How much are they?

Are they easy to fit (Ie plug and play or do they need new wiring?)

Do you like the clear corner lights?

As long as its all running fine and looks good then i think thats not a bad score.

The rear seats are really good but the front feels like im sitting on a hard piece of plywood and it looks like its sagged. I wanna know if it is spose to be like this or it has sagged might get a pic later. One day i might get the leather redone but i mean if the seat has sagged then whats the point.

Problem is i dunno if my seat is a fault or if its spose to be like that but i would like to know.

THE REAR SEATS ROCK BUT!

Yeah trolley sucks and ive now been told what i thought was rust was just a stone chip and not rust from the inside coming out. So probably doesn't need attention thanks guys

Hi

Even though mines a JDM model, i just wanted to know did immobolisers come standard on these cars for insurance purposes?

Thanks in advance

But then how much is it for labour silvermate? I'll let my mechanic know that the diff bushing may need attention. What happens if i left it?

So the kit from rush imports isn't worth it? Would the kit possibly damage the air sus quicker?

It might be wise then to just save up and when they do go bad do the conversion. Can i still lose 2" with springs and shocks? And what springs and shocks are good for all round and considering this car will never see the track?

Hello

My friend noticed that when i changed gears from Park through the gears to R N and D, there was a noticeable clunk. Its a 15yo LS400.

Anyone else had this happen to them? Anyone hazzard of guessing what that could be and should it be attended to. The actual gear box is fine i think its still running very smoothly and you can't notice the gear shifts in Drive at all.

Thanks in advance

Someone suggested to me to just put fish oil over the top of the spots because its so small.

To get it repainted would probably cost more to get a new bonnet or boot. Im in the same situation as daffy while its a nice car, i don't know if its worth repainting. The speck is like a dot its so small that it would take a couple of years to get worse someone said last night especially if its already been galvanised.

But any experience with fish oil?

Hello

I noticed today on my LS that there is a spot and i mean a spot (its that small) of rust on the edge of the door and boot. The door happened because of a shopping trolley i think. Anyways its really small like a speck but i just want to know more about it since i do intend to drive it for another 15 yo's at least.

1/ What damage does rust do

2/ How should i treat it

3/ Is it worth treating even if its like a speck of less than 1mm diametre

I never thought these things rust <_< i must have been the only unlucky one!

So how did u adjust the height sensors?

Hello

Someone told me you can adjust the airsuspension by hand by just changing some nuts and bolts like this http://planetsoarer.com/lower/Lower.html. True? False?

Then today someone told me there is a computer thing where by u can lower the airsuspension somehow (By TRD maybe?) Again true? False? and if true what is it and where can this be obtained for how much?

Anyone else lowered their airsuspension cars before?

Thanks in advance

Yeah pics and diagrams would be helpful and appreciated for when I have to do it myself cheers!

I think one of the problem with production in China is that the main driving force is production and alot of it. Production for both domestic and export market demands which is a lot! Thats why their quality control isn't up to great standards yet as that isn't their core focus even though they do emphasis on it. Thats just my opinon.

Anyone got diagrams for future reference when this happens to me? That'd be much appreciated!

Luxury names like Volkswagen/Audi and BMW are all having a go at getting a piece of the Chinese market and doing it with alot of sucess by outsourcing and assembling these cars over there. Damiler Chrysler want to follow suit with Mercedes soon however i think the luxury car boom won't be as lucrative. I sure hope Lexus don't associate assembly in China however it seems like thats the trend of recent times.

Someone told me recently the Honda Accord Euro we get is assembled in Thailand and the bigger Accord in the US!

If finance permits me i would upgrade to the next generation but thats just me
