The Marque

Help, need to find an Australian supplier for a receiver/drier for my 1991 LS400 which developed a leak at a junction and is currently minus a drier. Toyota want $90 plus which is way over the top.

Any help with info appreciated.

Cheers

Ric

PS 10 January update. My repairers (Natrad) have now supplied replacement dryer and car is back on the road.

Hi Simon

Thanks for your informative post. I have a 92 LS400, everything works however I would like to check the climate control sensor as you suggested. However I just want to confirm the sensor location. I have a small 25mm square vent which is 30mm below the parking brake lever. The vent has narrow horizontal openings.

I have tred to remove this vent carefully with a screwdriver but have not managed to remove it so far. Please confirm this is the right vent and any tips on removal.

Cheers

Check out Ebay today. There is a 95/96 LS400 being wrecked for parts and there is a pic of the radio. The current bid is 95 cents and it ends in 8 hours. Look under LS400 in ebay.

HI

ANYBODY KNOW WHERE I CAN BUY A NEW LCD SCREEN FOR MY 1995 LS400 RADIO , THE SCREEN IS DARK SO THE BACK LIGHTS NEED REPLACING TOO , I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A PIONEER OR A NAKACHIMI THERE'S NO BRAND NAME ON THE OUTSIDE FRONT , MAYBE I WON'T KNOW THE BRAND NAME UNTIL I TAKE IT OUT . ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED , THE RADIO CASSETTE STILL WORKS ALRIGHT SO ITS WORTH REPAIRING IF I CAN GET A NEW SCREEN , REGARDS MURRAY .

Are you sure its not just the background LEDs that have failed? The reason I ask is that it is more common for the climate control screen to fail as it is used each time you start the car ie the time etc. I have located a site in the USA that can supply the climate control screen RHD for LS400 and Sc400 up to 1994 as these are the screens that, as I said, usually go first. The price is around $90 US plus postage.

Cheers
