ROSS

Mecullica, Thank you for your information. I will take a closer look at it to see

if I am comfortable doing it. Thanks again!

HOPING FOR SOME HELP. I HAVE A 2003 LS430 AND IT HAS SOME DASH

RATTLES. BEEN TO THE SHOP TWICE, BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT.

DOES ANY ONE KNOW HOW TO REMOVE THE "FACE PLATE" THAT IS AROUND

THE NAVIGATION UNIT? I BELIEVE IF I COULD GET THAT OFF, I COULD LOCATE

THE RATTLE.

I have a 2003 LS430 and need to know what kind of snow chains to get. I

only would be using about once a year, as I live in California and do not

get a chance to go the mountains often. Would like to have easy to install

set, and was wondering if anyone has had problems with inside clearance isuues?

Thanks for you advice!

I have a 2003 LS430 with the "air cooled" front seats. Has anyone changed

out the "filter" that is located underneath the seat? The owners manual shows

it being located in a tray, however I see it under the seat in a difficult place

to remove. Was wondering how this would be removed, as it is not in the

"tray" as stated in the owners manual.

I have a 2003 ls430 with 9,000 miles. I never noticed this before

but now I notice that while driving at highway speeds and lift my

foot of the gas pedal and start to coast, when the RPM's drop

down to 1100 RPM's, it surges up in speed and RPM's to approx.

1300 RPM's. I have started off in both 4th and 3rd gear, and the

same thing happens when RPM's hit 1100, it surges up to 1300 RPM"S

and increases speed. Does this seem like a transmission or ECM problem.

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment

to "loosen" it up?

It is stiffer at all speeds, like it has more tension and

doesn't feel as smooth as the one on the 1994 version.

I wanted to know if anyone has noticed stiffer

steering in the newer ls430's over the older

1994 ls400's? There seems to be alot more tension

in the steering wheel on the ls430. Is there an

adjustment to "loosen" it up?

THANKS TO ALL! YOU HAVE CONFRIMED WHAT I

THOUGHT. I WILL BE USING PREMIUM FUEL.

I have always used premium gas in my 1994 ls 400

and now purchased a new ls 430. The manual calls

for premium gas, but I heard that you really do not

need to use it. Has anyone else heard this, and should

it be done?

I AM PICKING UP A NEW 2003 LS430 NEXT WEEK AND

WAS WONDERING IF ANY KNEW WHAT THE BREAK IN SCHEDULE WOULD BE. (I'VE NEVER BOUGHT A NEW

CAR BEFORE)

ALSO I JUST NOTICE IN THE BROCHURE THAT THERE

IS A STATEMENT THAT SAYS" TIRES FITTED WITH

17 X 7.5 INCH WHEELS ARE EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE

GREATER WEAR THAN CONVENTIONAL TIRES. TIRES

LIFE MAY BE SUBSTANTIALLY LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. MY QUESTION IS WHY AND CAN I DO

ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION! I HAVE A 1994 LS400 AND LOVE IT, BUT STARTING TO GET THE

"ITCH" FOR A NEWER MODEL.

I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF A NEW OR USED LATE MODEL LS430. WAS WONDERING IF THE MARK

LEVINSON STEREO WAS THAT MUCH BETTER THAN

THE REGULAR ONE? DO THE CLIMATE CONTROL

SEATS REALLY COOL AS STATED? ANY OTHER OPTIONS THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED?

I'M NEW TO THIS FORMAT AND HAD A QUESTION. I HAVE A 1994 LS400 WITH 62K MILES. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO HESITATE WHEN UNDER A LOAD (IN OVER DRIVE) AT ABOUT 50MPH. IT FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHIFT DOWN, BUT DOESN'T

ANY IDEAS?
