    This episode is vintage in itself! Got my 96 LS400 to break for the engine, that was five years back. What a great car these are. And now it's getting a turbo it'll get that extra power it needs.

    This episode "teaser" is a perfect example of what made Wheeler Dealers great in the first place. In these early episodes (With Edd China and before they came to America) were a lot more relatable, the new episodes are all about what you can do / fabricate if you have £100000 worth of tools and machines, and not about what the average person can do to smarten up their car

    "(...) handsfree mobile phone unit (...) Only top drawer executive cars have kit like this" 😂🤣🙃 Now if you were still in any doubt about whether this was an old video re-release or a brand new one, that surely gives away how ancient the vid really is. These days even the likes of a VW Up are equipped with 'kit' like that straight out of the factory 😁 Nice to see one featuring Edd though!

    Low profile tires and wheels make sidewall vulnerable to sudden and catastrophic failure, not to mention ruining the smooth ride of the best Lexus (LS400). Every pothole you go over is a hazard to your car, because sharp edge of defect in pavement can cut the thin sidewall. This is a lot less apt to happen with normal road tires. Don't tart up your Lexus. It's not a racing car and doesn't benefit from these unrecommended boy racer additions. Ask the manufacturer, if you disagree.
