  1. My '98 stopped working years ago.... never bothered to fix them.... I know it's annoying though when things don't work
  2. '98 LS400... both brake lights out...globes OK ... fuses OK... brake light in the back window still working.... no brake lights on the trailer either.... I can get to the stop light controller, it looks perfect undamaged... however I have no idea how you would test it or 'jumper' it....Any suggestions ?
  3. I guess when i get my LS back from the painters, i'll do some serious mpg road tests and get to the bottom of it. I'll bet i'll get nothing like 8.2L per 100km... it'll be more like 12L per 100km.... thats my gut feeling anyway... . . Ahhh, the "distance to empty" readout ... I've never known one of those to be accurate in any car. Reset your trip meter, drive exactly 10 km and you'll probably find the distance to empty hasn't changed from 650 km. Shouldn't it change to 640 km? Well, I bet it won't. I believe the readout is meant to be a very, very conservative guide ... which is a nice thing if you're about to head from, say, Adelaide to Perth. You wouldn't want it to overstate your range when there's no petrol stations for hundreds of k's!
  4. If i fill the car up, reset my dash display... drive up the pacific hwy to port macquarie.. when i go to fill it up again, the fuel readout says i'm averaging 8.2L per 100km... so i fill it up and the fuel readout says i now have 650km in the tank if i keep driving the way i have been driving, which is false, it should say i have 1000km in the tank which is 8.2L per 100km. Showing me 650km remaining, is indicating 12.5L per 100km... What the ?????
  5. I understand what your saying, however, if my dash display is saying i'm averaging 8.2L per 100km that means i should get 1000km per tank full. This is my whole point... 1000km per tank ????
  6. G'day Lexus Nerd... I understand your questions but with respect they don't mean anything... My issue is that my fuel consumption readout says i'm averaging 8.2L per 100km which means is should get 1000km per tank when hwy cruising but at best i'll get 650km per tank which is 12.5L per 100km. In fact, who ever heard of a UCF21 LS400 getting 1000km per tank ? So, are Lexus fuel consumption figures total B.S. ?
  7. When cruising in my '98 LS400, the fuel consumption readout shows 8.2Litres per 100km's. This would mean that with an 85 litre tank, i should be able to do 1000km's per tank full and thats impossible. When cuising on the hwy, i get about 650km per tank which is about 12.5 km per 100km. I live in Gosford and a drive to my mums up the hwy to Port Macquarie is 400km... thats an 800km round trip so if i fill up in Gosford, i should easily get back home (800km) with plenty left in the tank which it wont, i have to fill up before half way home. Now i don't know if my maths are correct but 8.2L per 100km = 1000km with an 85L tank yes ? Could someone varify this ?
