Talking 1993 ls400 owner & factory service manual?

Hi, I'm looking for a 1993 LS400 Owners Manual and Factory Service Manual...Please PM me if you can help! I would greatly appreciate it!

I recently purchased a '93 LS400 and I love it! It...sadly, is not without its problems...P/S is at the top of the list!

Is it true that I can get a free copy of the Owners Manual from Lexus? I found the OM online, but looking for a copy for the glove compartment.

Looking for the FSM on Ebay...but if anyone has a copy of any sort please PM me

Yes, you can get a free copy of the Owner's Manual from the Lexus web site.

Do you mean the PDF on their site? I see that, but, I read on this site that I could get one (for the glove box) from Lexus for free...or is that what you were confirming?

There are Lexus service manuals available on line at Toyota's technical information portal. Their Technical Information System (TIS) is a service support source for all Toyota including Lexus cars TIS as it is called includes all of the vital information you'll need to effectively service most 1990 and later cars produced and marketed in North America.

TIS is available to DIY owners, repair shops, etc at different levels of need and cost. I purchased the first level for $15 dollars. It was very helpful and a great resource for me to do many DIY projects on my 93 LS400. I learned about this website on the Club Lexus Forum . I'm sorry but I can't remember where. It may have been in the tutorials section.

Yes, you can request the printed Owner's Manual. It will not be delivered with the leather cover (I think), but the manual itself is free.
You can also download the PDFs of each chapter.

I have looked into TIS (mostly on this site!) one thing I got caught up on was someone commented on not being able to download the PDF version of the Service Manual from TIS...He got lots of stuff (wiring, ECT) but not what he really needed. What was your experience? Did you try to DL all available material?

I really want to make sure I know what I'm getting into...also, I was hoping I might find the hookup...wishful thinking...I am keeping an eye out for the FSM set on ebay, either way I'll let y'all know when I have one!

On another note; How might Lexus feel if, DIY Tutorials were made public that follow the FSM (not copying, just following the procedure)?

Edit: P.S. Will a '94 FSM cover the '93 (I read that there were no changes between '93-'94)?

they are, it's called reading the faqs for the tutorials listed and using the bible- www.lexls.com.

"they are"? What are? Oh, you mean "It will"? Excuse me, I have searched...But nowhere did I see "Yes the '93 and '94 FSM are interchangeable"...I did read (like I said) that '94 is unchanged...that doesn't mean the torque specs didn't change or other important procedures, from year to year.

Thank you for your help
