Lexus LS430 (2003 – 2007) At A Glance

4/5

+Refined, comfortable express with plenty of room, bags of luxury kit and the sturdiest build quality this side of an underground nuclear shelter.

-Your chauffeur won't find it as rewarding to drive as a BMW or Jaguar. The styling does it no favours.

Where can I get cheap replacement Lexus tyre valves?

"I drive a 2003 Lexus 430SC. Recently I had a flat tyre and the local tyre garage found that the tyre valve was leaking. The only people who sell a direct replacement are Lexus, who want £189. Replacement for other makes cost about £50. Any ideas where I can get a replacement at a sensible price?"
TPMS valve monitors are multi metal and in a hostile environment where they are subject to corrosion. Your options are to replace the failed 10 year old valve (which has lasted well) with a compatible Lexus item, then be prepared for the others to fail. Or replace the TPMS system entirely with one from Tyrepal.

Longevity of a door-lock

"How long should a rear door lock last with very little use on a 7 year old Lexus LS430? I believe it should be a lot longer than 7 years. Who can I get as an "expert witness" to state that in my claim against the seller (less than 6 years ago)?"
Any part on any 7 year old car could fail at any time and no one is liable.
