YEP, we put 5k on it in 2 years, so in about 8 years I'll have 200k and be 86, or gone on to Glory...... But if, I'm still here, Jon will put it on for me.... (my nephew who does almost every thing for me.) I did pull the dash on my 2000 Sienna and replaced the light bulbs, and put a new PW motor in my drivers door (I can sit down doing that.) not bad for 78....

here is what the manual shows... Remove the water filler plug from the throttle body. © Remove the 3 drain plugs on the engine and radiator, and drain the coolant. (d) Close the 3 drain plugs. Torque: 12.7 N·m (130 kgf·cm, 9 ft·lbf) for engine drain plug 3. REFILL WITH ENGINE COOLANT (a) Slowly fill coolant to the throttle body until it is full. Use of improper coolants may damage engine cooling system. Use ”Toyota Long Life Coolant” or equivalent and mix it with plain water according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Took my 99 to Park Place for my 175k oil change, next up 180k they have a 29.95 special that they mail out every so often and I take advantage of it and get a free car wash also.. They have always commented of how clean it is for that many miles.... first photo 2010 see inspection stickers 11, second photo 2012 (today) stickers are 13's.

Instrument cluster clock/climate control

Very nice job Micah, and good photos also.. -
I did not write this, just trying to pass on some helps.. read the article... Six ways to ruin your ride with terrible add-ons 1) Excessively wide wheels/tires. 2) Poorly designed aftermarket intakes. 3) Knock-off safety components. This week's federal warning about counterfeit air bags in thousands of cars highlights how the advent of eBay and flourishing, cheap overseas manufacturing have contributed to cheap replica parts. 4) Bigger brakes don't improve braking. Even stainless steel brake lines can be a problematic upgrade. 5) Pointlessly huge exhaust. 6) Rock-hard suspension. Here is the article: http://autos.yahoo.c...HQDc3RvcnlwYWdl

Seat Belt Retracts Poorly & Can't Find A Replacement
billydpowell replied to 1995 LS 400's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
You hide where you are, so, dont they have any salvage yards there?? does craigslist operate where you are?? they are always parting out cars on it.. but you can probably go to the dealer and get one if all else fails. -

Timing Belt Replacement, Did You Do Your Own?

Timing Belt Replacement, Did You Do Your Own?
billydpowell replied to 93ls400walt's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
well I am 78 now, but me and my nephew have replaced 5 of them so far... (he does most of the "work"). and I am a retired mechanic... and he is one. BUT this is not a difficult job... hard, yep!, but as Landar said, just pay attention to what you are doing, and be careful. we like to line it all up, mark it and then take it down and just put it back together. watch how much the cam gears "move" and just move them back as necessary. (thanks Micah for the pat on the back). you got a good quote, Jon charges 500$ when he can, less if necessary. most of ours have been family (2 were friends with LX models) -

billydpowell replied to _mach_'s topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
Keep your hopes up!! there is no faith without them... Hebrews 11:1 King James Version (KJV) 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. be blessed. -
Key Doesn't Open Car Door On Driver Side 1990 Lexus Ls400
billydpowell replied to amayes's topic in 90 - 00 Lexus LS400
your answer is: take the door panel off and LOOK.. then tell us what you find if you still need help.. and we can share our similar experiences with you.. there is no point in just guessing what all it "could" be. -
You must be thinking of taking a vacation to the UK Billy, we're 6 hours in front so a more reasonable 9.15 in the morning. I sure would like to, my dad's people came from Wales.. their original name was Powl , until England conquered them and it became Powell
