Smile New 1989 Celsior member here!

Hi all!
Just would like to welcome myself to the club, I purchased my first 1989 Celsior yesterday in immaculate condition.. Was owned by a british family for 14 years along with it being imported by them from Japan.

I'd just like to ask for help with a few issues I am aware of and would like to get to the bottom of..
1: The odometer doesn't work at all, speedo works fine but gets a little stuck/wobbly when it gets close to 100kmph.
2: TRC light is permanently on.
3: O/D light is flashing, overdrive seems to work perfectly fine, I've seen no issues.
4: air suspension "normal" light is flashing, but thats because BC coilovers are installed was wondering if it can be turned off or removed?
5: Steering feels sloppy, and the steering wheel seems to be slightly turned to the left but I suspect worn steering bushes.
I'd like to thank anyone in advance that could possibly help me!

Kind Regards.
Beau.

Congrats on the Celsior and welcome to Club Lexus. Any other pics that aren't blocked by the fence and in a shadow?

The stickies at the top will get you off to a start on the various available fixes.

First off some stuff on a Celsior may be different than on an LS400. 2nd off if a car is in immaculate condition, it would be like show room floor fresh, it would not have non factory installed or dealer installed stuff, and would have zero issues. And sorry to be so picky, I've just burned up lots time looking at miss represented cars in the past.
On an LS400 there is a little motor that runs the odometer that could be the issue. Flashing light remove the bulb. Steering could be worn suspension parts how many miles?
