Just an update, got clear front and side indicators, and new rear tail cluster from ebay us and uk - not too expensive and car looks a lot younger. Recommended if you want to replace that 90s 'yellow plastic'. Also got a quote on an exhaust, still researching to see what the best option is. Cheers Clay

Thanks for the tips, the seat is actually reclined in a perfect position for me so it doesnt really bother me, would be nice to get it fixed though. One more thing I found is the LCD on the rear view mirror is slightly smudgy on the left side, I've heard you have to replace to fix - will decided whether its worth it depending on price. Apart from that shes sweet though! I will give that leather treatment a go and check out the results ;)

Gday all, Just purchased a 92 LS400 Aus-spec in great condition, was a nice long drive home and it drove really well. Very impressive for an older car. Just after some advice on a few things, maybe some of you could point me in the right direction. The few minor things wrong with mine are the recline mechanism on the front seat isnt working, all other directions work. What would be the best way to get this fixed? The seller mentioned it could just be a loose plug but I'm just not sure where to take it. I'm too scared to take it to Lexus Also there is a minor rip on the drivers seat where stitching has come out due to wear. I'd really like to get this fixed, I think an auto-trimmer could fix it but open to suggestions. Also I'd like to refresh the leather as it is a bit old (16 years) and thus getting a little hard - if there's any way to put some life back into it i'd love to know eg. leather restoring polish etc. Also would like to do some mods short to medium term, nothing major mainly cosmetic, just to freshen the look of the car up a bit: 1 - Suspension - I would like to lower the car, mainly for looks but also hoping this will take some of the body roll out. I am thinking of just putting in some king springs lows, this has worked great on previous cars for me but just wondering what the consensus is amongst people who have actually done suspension mods on these cars. 2 - Exhaust - Someone told me there is 6 mufflers on this car, is that right? I'm going to jump under the car and have a look tomorrow when its light and see. I'd like to unlock the V8 burble without making the car sound hideous or rasp. Does any body know a cheap way? I'm thinking if I take one set of mufflers off and run straight pipe it might do the trick. 3 - Wheels - I'm thinking 20" might be the way to go on such a large car, anyone got any for sale? I imagine the price of a new set of 20s would be over the top. 4 - Minor exterior mods - Replacement front grille, clear indicator lenses (front & side) - anybody know where I can get my hands on these? Thanks in advance, I'd love to hear from other owners on the above. Thanks Clay
