Vehicle
Lexus LFA
Five hundred cars with a carbon-fibre monocoque woven on a loom Toyota built for the purpose, and a 4.8 V10 developed with Yamaha that revs to 9,000 and cannot be serviced by anything resembling ordinary practice. The gearbox is a rear-mounted single-clutch automated manual with a six-speed shift, and the instrument cluster is a digital display because no mechanical needle could keep up with the engine. Every structural repair is a factory operation; the practical constraint on one is parts availability, not diagnosis.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
