KY350

FARK - just realised that know one's been here for about a year!!!! Back to the USA forums for me.

I don't know what the problem is with your tacho and speedo. However, if you go to the LOC of America, you can do a search and find out the answer to your question. The USA is Lexus' biggest market and the forum there is very active. BTW, I also suspect a contact problem and if this is the cause, you will find how to repair this on the LOC USA forums. Good luck.

PIMP and Fugly IMO.

My 91LS drinks an average of 14.5L/100km when I am driving normally. I can get better fuel economy if I baby the accelerator and keep the revs in each gear basically below 2000rpm. This car is an old V8, and no mainstream V8 will ever be fuel efficient. If you are concerned about the fuel economy of the Celcior, especially with PULP @ $1.15+ per litre, then go for a more economical car. Being 15+ yo, you should expect to have a few problems arise, like a few rattles at best. Aside from the minor stuff, you had better have some money aside for the odd expensive repair, like a power steering pump repair / timing belt etc. I've had mine since Nov 04 and the only problem has been a few rattles in the roof lining, which has also become unglued - I'll get a motor trimmer to isolate the rattles and reglue the lining. The Celcior will cost you heaps of money if you get it serviced thru Lexus. You will either need to do some repairs yourself or find a good mechanic that knows Lexus cars. The previous owner of my LS gave me his service records since 2000. All work was performed at Lexus and the cheapest service was $700. The most expensive was approx $4,000!!!!! On average, he was paying about $1,800 per service which is criminal.
