I've never heard of one failing unless yours is out of balance or damaged,more likely to be a wheel bearing on its way out.

Hi, Just had a look at the exploded diagram for the RHD LS430 and it looks like the panel is just clipped in, they are quite tight to remove but these parts rarely break during removal,I use a wall paper type scraper with a layer of electrical insulating tape over the blade to help prise these bits off.

Hi, Given the age of these CD units now you would be lucky to find a good working replacement and as you have already found out it's very difficult if not impossible to get them repaired. Most people faced with this situation have fitted an after market system in place of the factory units. You can buy either double or single DIN facias for the LS400 I fitted a single DIN and then fitted a JVC single CD head unit and then a subwoofer amp was fitted where the original CD changer was in the trunk. I think you can also buy the conversion leads so no wiring to worry about.

Hi, Yes and yes :D

You can get the MINES upgraded ECU for the Celsior/LS there were some on ebay recently or have a look on the Celsior section of this website. www.soarercentral.com

Hi, Sorry I don't come onto the Australian forums very often or I would have helped you, glad you sorted it, mine has HIDs but they are dual bulbs so I get HID on low beam and normal bulb on hi beam ( which compared to the HID is completely useless so never used but has to be fitted for the UK).

Try here for air shocks as they have more Celsior owners http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages...html?1249329348

Hi, Another common problem on the LS400 for this is the wiring loom that passes around the left hand boot hinge. If you look under the hinge you will see a tape bundle of wires that feed the lights on the boot lid,the tape will probably be ripped and the wiring inside may be damaged. It happens because of opening and closing the boot stretches the loom.
