I have downloaded and hosted an interesting document covering the highlights/features of the 1st generation LS400/Celsior.

Off topic: How do I "join" several PDF documents into one PDF?

Apropos your last question, there are several ways. If you are on a Mac, use PDF Lab. It is free and I expect there is a corresponding PC product out there on VersionTracker, Download or wherever you guys look.
Adobe Acrobat will do it of course, but that is a trifle more expensive. If your requirement is a one-off, send them to me nominating the order and selected pages (if not all of them) and I can send the single file back ten minutes after receipt.

Incidentally, if anyone who can prove they already have a copy of the Soarer Bible is interested, I have recreated all chapters in PDF rather than HTML. Makes searching and switching pages much easier.

Quite impressive. I could not avoid being amused when I read that the alternator and A/C pump used "blacketless" mountings.

Presumably the Air Suspension features are the same as on the UZZ31 Soarer, in which case I was interested to read that the computer will set the car to High, Medium or Low when you have the switch on Normal, and High or Medium when it is on High. I have seen reference to this before (lowering the car automatically at speed). Does anyone know at what speeds the computer makes its adjustments? How high will it go when set on Normal -- as high as on High? [sounds like religion or drugs are taking over here!]

Also, the computer appears to have more in its arsenal than just hard or soft when you adjust the TEMS damping, varying separately the spring rate and damping force. Again, anyone have any detail on when or under what circumstances (apart from the obvious) the system makes these little decisions?

David -> I have read in the workshop manuals that variables such as rough road, high speed, braking, cornering etc vary the spring rate and damping.

Here is a copy of a paragraph talking about it.


Tim -> I have got another 20-30 PDFs, including the workshop manual and wiring diagrams that I paid to download from the Toyota maintenance website. I would like to "join" all the chapters to make one document if I can work it out...

Hi Brett,
To do that you need a full version of Adobe reader, it about 300-400 Mbs you can download it from eDonkey or BT, start at edonkey first! really can't wait to see it on the website !!! By the way its possible to send that thing by email?

Interesting, Brett. Now (being a glutton for knowledge) I just want to fill in some of the actual speeds for height changes. I think I understand the damping well enough from what you provided.

Repeating, if you have a one-off problem, send the PDFs to me and I will join them in a flash. I do not have a Celsior and a 4WD V8 Aristo is the only idly contemplated purchase so I am not about to nick or redistribute them.

Hi David, I am not concerned about you "nicking" the files, just that they are fairly large to email.

PM sent.

Cheers
Brett
