I have been driving these for over 10 years and know them inside out.
1) IMPORTANT - The radiator has an internal gearbox oil cooler at the bottom - if you are experiencing any sort of gear shift problem then make sure the water and gearbox oil have not mixed - do this before doing any other job or spending money. If gearbox is ok only then proceed to change the radiator obviously if the gearbox has suffered any sort of water contamination then its a replacement gearbox.
2) The brake judder can also be steering rack bushes - this is a 5 minute job if you bushes the bushes with the carrier otherwise your garage will need a hydraulic press.
3) The speaker is a common problem aswell - only way to replace it is remove the rear seats for access - not a hard job but just need to be methodical - some people have just used silicone to repair the speaker cone from the top - could be worth a try.
4) The failed rear quarter windows can only be replaced.
5) My guess is your bonnet struts will also be shot along with the steering adjust motors???
6) Suspension wise - you will need to put it on a ramp and inspect to which part needs replacing - the air shocks are generally quite reliable aslong as they havent developed a leak.
7) If you want to keep the smooth braking then either use Genuine discs and pads - they are not that expensive from www.lexuspartsdirect.co.uk. If you go for cheap parts you will get groaning on stopping which will ruin the silence.
8) The Cambelt needs changing every 10 years or 100k miles whichever is earlier.
If you need second hand spares try Pual Frost @ Lexus Spars Direct - not to be confused with the company mentioned above which is a main dealer.
Thanks for the tips. You are right about the bonnet struts - I'd forgotten about those
I just bought my 430 they are great cars I've read a lot of reviews in USA
And people say to drain and fill don't flush gearbox.great cars love mine
++ for steering bushes. Also replace tie rods inner and outer as they can cause (and at the same time hide) front brake problems. I hate the term “Warped discs/hotspots” they are a thing of the 90’s and and a problem invented by cheap mechanics to get you to pay for new discs and pads which are a cheap and quick fix for them - cherching £££- at your local K.F. Ive worked with Asin brakes for years and yes cheap pads and discs will give you problems but a great big hunk of iron is not easily warped by a lexus driver. 90% of the time its all the steering bushes from uk pot holes and in a heavy car like that the ball joints to
That pretty much covers all I was going to say. Love these cars. We ran an LS400 for 14 years. It was brilliant. I would have one of these over just about any other big fat barge. Good one.
Thanks for this! Handy to know for my SC430!! :D
Amazing how much satisfaction you can get in finding a good old luxury car, you get so much more pleasure out of driving these older luxury barges than new soulless new ones. Also these reviews are more ‘real’ to most of us, than watching the latest Ferrari, Aston Lamborghini being delivered to another RUclipsr...where the carbon pack costs more than this car will set you back, even after the few grand you put into it.
Couldn't agree more! That kind of thing doesnt appeal to me
I get the same (maybe more) pleasure driving my 1999 w140 S500... And I just don't want to exchange for anything..
My absolute favourite car. I had a 2005, mind the steering column motors, can fail pretty quick. Engine is the best I've come across!
Couldn't agree more!
Are we seeing the start of the high peak car sanctuary.?nice review long time coming.?
This is a triple whammy channel, really enjoyable content, in-depth consumer advice and someone I would happily buy a car from!
Cheers! I appreciate that
Engineered by professionals, Built by experts, designed by accountants. Gotta love the LS . Good luck matt, going to enjoy this one.
haha thats quite right. Cheers
There is something very appealing about these big old Lexus's. The prospect of wafting about in this luxury barge with more toys than Hamleys, insulated from the world, and all for the price of a well worn Fiesta is almost too tempting to resist! You seem to have found a very nice example that has had TLC in the past so hopefully it won't be too much of a money pit! Look forward to Pt2.
Matt: “i’m not going to waste my t........ Ooh new Defender!” Who doesn’t do that?
Every single time
@@HighPeakAutos you should put a lip spoiler on it that will make it look amazing oh and get the leather polished and I think you should keep the car. Also i have seen some with gold plated badges
I'd turn to look at an older Defender, the new ones just aren't my cup of tea. Defender enthusiast seem to have a victim mentality, the more they are told that it's not a very good car because of ride, noise, features, refinement...etc. the more we want one. 🤔
😂😂😂
"leaking like an excited puppy" 😂😂 looking forward to seeing this 10 part mini series :)
Coming soon!
Leaking like your wallet I fear
This should be good.....
Ohh god! Check its not coming from the integrated transmission cooler at the bottom of the radiator!!! These fittings go bad and mine separated from the cooler and dumped all the transmission fluid on the road and as a result completely destroyed the transmission!!! Replace that radiator as an absolute priority!!! This is pretty much the only major mechanical issue on both gens of the LS430!
Also! Just to address the window and the rear sub rattle.. the double pane windows unfortunately do ‘seporate’ and cannot be repaired, the only solution is replacement. The ML speakers (including the sub) suffer from the foam around the speaker edge disintegrating, very easily replaced just look up refoaming kit for ls430 ml speakers 👍🏻
‘The radiator’s leaking like an excited puppy...’
Your similes always crack me up 😂
Glad you like them!
This is absolutely perfect Matt
I love it. I dont know what I'm going to do with it though
@@HighPeakAutos boring but great quality 👌
@@HighPeakAutos you could always raffle it.
I had one in 2004 it was a great car only thing that let me down was the rear air suspension so quiet and comfortable
“set the radio to classic and cruise” I can relate to that!
I used to play bass in a rock band and my motor at the time was an E38 728i Sport.
After a night of performing high energy rock, I used to love cruising home in the beemer to the gentle sounds of classic fm...the contrast was sublime!
Been binge watching your videos lately. Great channel mate, really enjoy your reviews
Glad you like them! I appreciate it
A thumbs up from me mate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I haven't even watched it yet. Going from past history over the years, it`s 100% guaranteed to be up to his usual excellent standard. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for keeping the faith! :)
@@HighPeakAutos I know from previous years that you seldom reply 2 sub comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but here goes. I will always have faith but it`s up to you to realise your potential ( Which is massive ) believe me. 🙏🙏
Totally agree about "loving a luxury barge" and at the price you paid it's looking like a steal. Fingers crossed nothing unexpected crops up. Thanks for another great video Matt 👍🏻
You know Matt has brought a problem child car when this is only Part 1
Love it keep up the good work
Haha I hope not. I love it
@@HighPeakAutos me too I love it too
Great buy! We love our ‘01 with twice your mileage (278K). Our channel focuses on our LS and C63- although we just bought a SC430 for the summer. The LS has been a solid performer for us in the last 2 years, including a 2,000km trip through the Rocky Mountains we just finished. Looking forward to seeing more content on yours. Good luck!
😂lovely intro.. i have lived my entire life in the UAE 🇦🇪 and i love V8s. It’s beem nearly 4 yrs in the UK 🇬🇧 and I miss owning one. Watching your videos and reviews urging me to buy a V8 here. Anyways, nice review, as usual. Loved it. Please do a review for CL500 and Mustang V8. Thanks
I love a V8 too! Cant beat them. What on earth brought you to the rainy UK? :)
Lol, long story. My 1st ever car in the UK was 2002 GS300. Bought it for £1400 and spent £2000 on repairs. Drove for about an year. Awesome drive. Used to do Colchester, Essex - Maidstone, Kent runs. Sold it for £900.
I've had lots of those. Theyre great
I love the Lexus LS series. I think they're widely under-appreciated. While we where sniggering at the "Japanese Mercedes" jokes Toyota where building solidly engineered and reliable luxury cars that put their European rivals to shame. 🙂
Thats quite right. Lexus forced the Europeans to up their game
Great channel.
I was a car dealer 30 years ago and love listening to this sort of waffle.
😊
Great video, reflects the attitude of the 'barge' lover. My Son picked up a 2004 Volvo s80 D5 for £500, replaced the disks, drop links, CV joints himself plus some other jobs. Now it's mine to 'proceed' around in. I owned a Vauxhall Carlton 20 years ago and havent had anything that felt as nice until the Volvo came along.
Great video, thanks! I presently drive a Lexus LS 430 UL 2001 which I bought less than a year ago at 222 000 km. One previous owner, a retired senior manager with Toyota in this country. I received a full documented service history which seems quite substantial and so I hope I can lopk forward to ownership without too many hassles. I did discover some underbody rust which I had a competent person repair. I also drive a Polestar2 EV dual motor AWD. Both are great cars in their own right and delightful to drive in pretty different ways. I had a few doubts about going 100% electric which was one of the reasons I purchased the Lexus. And sure enough, a few weeks ago the Lexus really saved the day: The Polestar was totally dead due to some software glitch. It had to be hauled away for service on a flatbed truck. First time I´ve experienced that in my 50+ years as a driver. The Lexus started at the turn of the key!
Doc Martin would approve! Lovely cars - one near us on a 04 plate and the owner has had it from new. Never had you down as a Classic FM fan! Look forward to Part 2.
I watched a RUclips clip the other day of a car detailed working on a 20 year old Merc s500 - the end result was incredible, probably came out better than when it was new. Your Lexus could end up the same way - enjoy
Looks immaculate for its age, look even better after those wheels have been done
Can’t wait to see it when you’ve finished fixing what you know is wrong and what other faults you find on the way.
Well done for rescuing her, there must be an award for this sort of thing.
Love these videos.. this is what I’ve done for 40 years.. since I bought a Vauxhall VX4 /90 when I was 17.. it’s such an exciting way to own cars.. and frightening... love your channel..👏👏✋🤝
Love it mate.Was floating about in my old 2001 Jag today loved every relaxing mile. Thanks to guys like you sharing valuable knowledge, cheers Matt.
Thanks Matt......and damn! I have looked at LS430s for years and keep putting it off. Genuinely interested to see how the project does. And yes...... driving past the dealer and seeing it there. How could you refuse! As you know, the misting is a failure of the lamination and in my opinion will require replacing. 28 years in automotive glass and never seen one repaired.
I think you're right. I've sourced one from a scrapper
I like these types of cars. I'm tuned into this more than the bbc orchestra at the proms.😉
Thanks mate. With your videos I learned a new attitude to buying a car. I've just bought a car that's a bit old. Not perfect but good enough. Kept some cash just in case it needs anything done on it soon.👍
Pleased to hear it! Cheers
LOVE these videos, I genuinely feel sad when the video starts to end 😂
Haha Cheers!
You’ve got more “projects” on the than go then Tarvarish 😂. Looking forward to seeing this come together. Oh, how’s that Landy pickup coming along? Been looking forward to an update on that one, too 👍
Andy 🏴
Haha I do need to reign them in a little before they get out of hand
Very good commentary on this fabulous 🚗 car
Kevin
I used to have a wonderful 1992 LS 400 which I had bought used in 1999 with 125K miles, in Denver CO. Sold it in 2007 with 250K miles, and it was still perfect. So reliable. Loved it. In snowy winters I’d put 4 studless snow tires on it and it was great! I always had it serviced at a Lexus dealer (excellent), which was not much more expensive than independent.
Fantastic car,almost got one once.
The speaker he's talking about is the subwoofer behind the head of the center rear passenger seat. Its NOT BROKEN, the foam ring that insulates it from vibration simply deteriorates after a while and needs to be replaced. Its a cheap piece of foam that's the issue.
You can cut into the liner to access the screws holding the subwoofer down, or you can do it the proper way and remove half of the rear interior to access the subwoofer for a repair.
Great video and attitude!
Old cars deserve to be saved :)
I’d happily spend out on an LS, these Lexus’s are profoundly underrated in my view. Great choice of project Matt.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this! I own a really lovely '51-plate example originally supplied by Lexus Bristol, with only 71k miles and a full Lexus service history. I bought her in November 2017 and have experienced similar LS430 niggles, including the delaminating side windows, the sub-woofer and door speaker cone issues (which I've had repaired rather than replaced), the steering column seizures etc. But she drives like a dream and turns many heads! Looking forward to part 2.
One hell of a car for 2.5k... I had a GS430 with this engine and always thought the drivetrain combo would be better suited to the LS. My GS was also impeccably maintained by a fastidious previous owner. Will have to scratch the itch sometime, the facelifted ones look a fair bit better though!
I RECENTLY BOUGHT MY GS300 MY 7TH LEXUS SINCE 2003. I ONLY DRIVE LEXUS.
These Ford Scorpio's still look great.
I've always liked the Lexus LS's - super silky smooth drive and V8 engines are whisper quiet (bit thirsty when pushed) and remarkably ultra-reliable too, mechanicals and interior electrics are sound too. Rather a good luxury executive car for the money. Great video Matt as always. If I ever moved away from Range Rovers (highly unlikely) I would be buying Lexus'.
This is kinda like the Aldi equivalent of a W140 Merc, and like many Aldi equivalents it's bloody good!
Haha yes good point
I agree with you about keeping a nice old car on the road. It’s a pleasure to see an old barge on the road, especially one in good condition. Kind of considering looking for a low mileage one of these for my wife now - they last even longer here in Arizona as they don’t rust.
Yeah thats right!
Love your videos mate, watching from la Cala de mijas, Malaga. Spain. Born and bred in Derby. Keep up the good work.
I had an 07 and it was the sweetest running car I ever owned. I lost it in the Sandy storm here in the states. I was broken hearted.
What a great find. You do have a knack of finding great cars and, as you said, keeping them on the road.
I've got a '98 LS400... now has 370,000km... had it for 13 years... I bypassed the radiator / atf oil cooler part & fitted on oversized transmission cooler... the theory is if the atf never goes over 70C & change atf every 70,000km it will never wear out... EVER... Remove cold air intake, that's makes the engine sound much better... i removed the 2 rear mufflers, replaced with straight pipes... sounds really nice.. hardly increased noise but sounds way better as std exhaust has no sound whatsoever... I'm an LS nut so feel free to ask me anything.... i had to change the rear sub also..... I put the battery in the boot, it handles quick left to right turns better as you've removed a 60lb ballast off the front L/H wheel & being in the boot it never gets hot and that engine bay heat reduces battery life by 50%.... happy motoring...
Love the trade price compared to the forecourt one 😉
Which means the owner let it go for £1500
My wife used to work in vehicle leasing and we would get given demos for the weekend every now and then. We got leant an LS600h for a couple of days and it was incredible, the most luxurious car I've ever driven and insanely quick too for it's size (bearing in mind my own car at the time was a 1.8 Focus Zetec!). I literally couldn't find one thing I didn't like, you just felt utterly cushioned as it wafted along effortlessly. I'm not too sure the hybrid was doing much for the planet though! If I remember correctly we had the GS 450h a little while later and that was incredible too. Lexus and VW were the best at giving out demos for the weekend!
My car! I've got a 2004 model. Had it for 4 years now and love it. Don't think i'll ever give it up 😉
Love the LS430’s. Owned a 2001 UL (NA spec) for 7 years and now have a 2004 UL.
My 2001 had both front hub bearings go. Luckily they were not too difficult to replace.
As for the ML sub, usually the speaker itself is fine and all it needs is a repair. The foam lining can tear over time, when that happens it can sound horrible. If it just needs the foam surround then it’s a very cheap fix. Otherwise removing and replacing the sub can be pricy and a royal pain.
Thanks for the advice. I'll look into that
Cheers!
Excellent cars. I picked up my 01 Crown VX last year and its been perfect and 1jz power to boot. Love it
Looks like the passenger side headlight and fog light have been recently replaced. Usually an indicator of a shunt in the past. If it was just the headlight you'd think maybe a broken headlight but the fog light too makes you think it was something more serious. Often prior accidents don't show up in VIN checks when "uncle Bob", or his friend, did the fix on the quick. ;-)
After watching your fleet video I went ahead to love the Lexus LS 460 now that 430 is sounds remarkable, definitely an old car I can buy. I had never paid any attention to that car. I love it
As an owner of a LS 400 I’m too excited for this
What is it about characterful older barges. Just love the Lexus and the peer group of Jags, BMWs and Mercs, I’m also tempted by ‘bargain’ Maseratis too! Meanwhile I can’t bring myself to replace my Disco 4 despite impending congestion charges and exclusions. And £565 road tax. Also had the dubious pleasure of replacing the wiper motor in my Defender - it’s a complete dash out job, and the replacement parts were a nightmare, look out for that one! Keep up the great work!
Love the old projects mate. The Lexus always appealed to me as a big comfortable barge. All the best of luck with it, fair play I just wished I had the time and the money lol. Did always want a Merc 190e for a project, hopefully this summer. Keep up the channel all the best.
Perfect interesting old car! Good luck getting rid of the smoke smell though.......took me ages with my old P 407.
A la wheeler dealers nice one Matt love seeing older cars being bought back up to scratch. Keep up the excellent work l'm loving it 👍
Outstanding, I’m in an 06 jeep commander old school luxury and comfort , leather, wood , heated everything, and outstanding off road quadra drive 2 is a brilliant system. Love keeping great old cars on the road. Enjoy your channel very much. Might buy a super charged Range Rover next.
They're quite rare in the UK
These 1 or 2 owner 10 or 20 year old premium motors are an absolute joy. I’m a seller of such more than a buyer of such, but all those looking for a bargain should consider the premium worth paying for pampered cars. Never owned a Lexus but I can imagine they’re kind of bullet proof.
Matt, you're doing your bit for automotive conservation saving these gems. In 10 years time we wont see that many 90s and early naughties lexus' beemers, mercy etc. It will be a sea of humming electric powered boxes! Look forward to part 2!
Love a nice Lexus. I don't think the LS430 is quite as elegant or as classic looking as the original LS400, but it's still a very likable car with lots of presence. This or a W220 S-Class? I'd choose the Lexus every time.
Great another 'project vehicle' video, don't mean to pester but will there be an update video on the 'adandoned volvo' ?
Whilst I too love lux barges, due to the amount of toys on them, expensive faults pop up when it comes to selling them.
These raw motor trader experinces are brilliant.
That is a real nice looking car. Looking forward to seeing it "Matt spec"
I finally got to the bottom of my ls430 juddering by changing the upper control arm bushings. You can’t see them easily without removing the struts. They do go through brake discs quite regularly! Still love my ls430 after many years. Have to be one of the best cars ever built.
I love the fact you're trying to fix every little fault. I recently acquired a Toyota camry, and am doing the same thing. I know I'll never make the money back but its just fun and a lovely car to waft around in. Good luck with the project
I always try and do it. Theres never any profit in them but I enjoy the process weirdly
Only a radiator issue, brakes and suspension. Rest is cosmetic. Lexus for you. Didn't realise they did timing belts I thought most Japanese cars were chains.
Lot of car for the money. Very nice. 🙂🙂 I read somewhere that if the starter motor gives problems it is not easily accessible. 🤔🤔
Excellent, love this channel for this exact reason..!! Looking forward to seeing more...
Really enjoyed this video, looking forward to next part of the LS project
Awesome move, great car! Top qualifyer for High Peak Auto raffle after Summer,
once you have completed the HPA 'Sun Tour' through the Highlands :) Thank you!
Now theres an idea!
wow you got the ultra luxury package. that model has alot of filters to change. you have filters under your front and rear seats, one in the dash, one in the trunk and i think one on the bottom of the b pillar. theres a video here that shows how to replace them. oh one thing you should do is buy a sprint booster throttle controller, it wakes the car up. its a plug and play part. i have mine for over a decade with no problems
Man after my own heart matt I cant resist an old luxury car. I've recently bought an old 1996 jaguar x300 as a bit of a project. Great video as always looking forward to seeing the progress on it
Good choice! Thanks for watching
You are The Man! Great video
Thanks!
Great video. I share your love for these old dogs and generally unloved cars which can offer unbelievable value for money motoring! 👌
That Lexus is a good buy make sure you make a good job of it making it into a fantastic restoration job .
And by doing this you will save another good car from the car grave in the sky
Kevin
Listen to how quiet it is inside. Lovely.
What an absolute beauty!
Well, maybe not 'beauty', but she's a wonderful barge and we love her as much as you do ;)
Matt I purchased one when it was six years old and 46000 miles both rear windows where like your front cost in 2008 £270 per window parking sensors £180 each never ending money pit when i sold it the next owner ended up spending £3000 on dash board and computer problems and the steering column not working I wish you well with this good luck Mark
And easy way to solve the problem of the smoker is to buy a living air, and ionizing machine and let it sit in the car for a couple nights then give it a good wash down inside with this dish soap and water and then let it sit in the sun with the windows up it takes about 3 to 5 days to air the whole thing out but the ionizer will change the charge on the particles that create the odour basically sterilize the air it works well I put it in my car once a year overnight in the garage. I have a 2001 LS 430 but no smoker
I have hit my mid 30s and now fancy one of these as a second car. Will retrofit CarPlay and other modern nice to haves.
I always wanted one… I know it depends of how well they have been maintained , is 150k miles a lot for these beauties? Most of the models I find have over 100k miles. Of course there are models with less miles but also a whole lot more money.
Great video!!
I want to know too. 150k for $10k listed in my area now
150k miles andvits just run in ! I've seen these with 760,000 miles ! My neighbour has a LS400 with over 600k on !

Love a luxo barge! My old 735 was amazing and often look at the Lexus. Keen to follow this! Cheers
Can't wait until you've finished it. I've been after one of these for occasional trips up the motorway and Sundays polishing it on my drive way 😋
Everyone should experience one
Finally subbed because of this!
‘Flaking worse than the before model on a head and shoulders advert’ oh my 😂😂😂😂😂👏👏
A lovely car, I really like these large Japanese luxury cars. A few years ago I has a Nissan QX, beautifully kitted out, ran like a dream, comfy, quiet and the only thing wrpng with it was that it was a 2 litre rather than the 3 litre. I had that car 3 years and still miss it.
I have an 2006. It's one of the best cars I've owned. The seats are as comfortable as a favorite recliner. I owned a 97 SL600 a few years ago which I loved but every time I heard a strange noise my sphincter would spasm. I don't drive very much but the LS430 doesn't break and repairs aren't pricey.
Living in a hot country I just love looking at the countryside. I used to live in staveley and eckington and used to walk in my favourite village, Ashford-in-the-water. I do miss the derbyshire countryside.
Love this car sort of thing Ive always lusted after but the thought of potential expensive problems scares the life out of me, good luck enjoyed the video sharp contrast to the last one of yours I watched on a smart 4 2
Great, really interesting project, from the comments I am amazed at how excited everyone gets about a posh Toyota, it never used to be like this. So pleased that reliability and quality are appreciated instead of "if its German its the best" however unreliable and expensive to run they are. Good old Lexus, one day its new cars will be considered cool too.
What a beauty, didn't Doc Martin drive one of these. Warped brake discs is your problem.
Just got rid of one of these. Silicon spray down the window runners solves the sticky window. Replacing the rear speaker is a nightmare too. The Mark levinson amp is very sensitive to what ohms it runs with. The Lexus owner club does have some aftermarket alternatives you can use but it’s a ball ache. Check the lower suspension bushes too. Very expensive to replace each one. There are poly bushes available but the car creaks bad then due to the lack of give.
Expect stupid questions too. I was asked about what I’d used in the washer fluid bottle for example. Did you find the coolbox in the back?
Cant believe you have bought one. I purchased a 2006 Ls430 with 120000 on the clock a couple of weeks ago. What awsome machine. Just purchased some 19inch aftermarket Alloys. My new project car. So smooth
Good choice! They're great cars.
@@HighPeakAutos i bought mine of ebay for £4400. Full lexus service history. 3 owners. The alloys i have purchased are 19" Tec Speedwheel GT Evo-R . Check them let me know what you think . Cheers
@@gwilko6452 what have you done with your old wheels?
@@HighPeakAutos nothing as of yet as the new ones only came the other day. They are 5 spoke design ones with fairly new tyres on if you are interested?
Good buy, like you, I love old luxury barges, I had an old LS400 bought for less than a grand, apart from a few scrapes & scratches, it was a decent car, all the toys worked & ran superb despite 230k on the clock!
Way better than an old Merc or BMW, only downside was MPG.
Thats right :)
