19mpg. That is not good. Have you tried the ISC reset procedure? https://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/topic/58930-isc-learning-procedure-without-lexus-diagnostic-tester/

What about an RX300. Not much difference compared to the RX350, especially at the low mileage you cover. I would avoid the SE-L model with the air suspension though.

Thanks everyone. Happy RX owners as expected. Watching the latest forum thread now!

Thanks jumpingjehovahs. I too am thinking the price is a bit high, but are hybrid prices quite strong at the moment?

Hello all. Having previously owned an RX300 and 400h, I have been lost in the outback for a few years but considering a return to the fold. I have my eye on a 2010 RX450h SE-L Premier at a Lexus dealer and priced just below £17k. It has covered just under 90k miles and of course has all the bells and whistles. I am a little concerned about the reliability of the air suspension system. Do I need to be? Any comments on what to look out for on such a car, and whether the price is fair would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I did wonder about the F Sport suspension setup but didn't question his statement as the F Sport would not interest me anyway. A quick check of the brochure shows the F Sport with performance dampers and a unique suspension, so of course you are quite correct.

Just got home from a test drive of the NX Premier. The salesman informed me that the F Sport has the same suspension setup as the rest of the range, although adaptive suspension is an option. I too found the ride uncharacteristically Lexus like with far too many minor road imperfections being felt in the cabin. Power train a little slow after my Volvo diesel but nicely refined of course. The dash seemed a bit of a mess with buttons everywhere although many will probably not be used too often. Final dislike was the boot cover. A sliding cover as in the RX gives much better access. Overall I thought it was a superbly designed car with a refined drive train, but the final package could have been much better. Shame as I would love to get back into a Lexus but this may not be the one for me.

Worth a look. http://www.chipex.co.uk/?gclid=CMfRmeDLn70CFZShtAoddWUA7Q a look.

Try the ISC reset procedure at the link, it has worked for me and others in the past. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/79992-rx400h-mpg-new-member/?hl=%2Bhybrid+%2Breset+%2Bprocedure#entry797863

The wire is actually the glovebox retaining strap which loops over your lonely screw. Yours has come adrift. Hope this helps.

The Caravan Club recommends a noseweight of 7% of MDW (Max design weight) of caravan. Some say 4% - 7% is fine. 80kg limit for the car is approx 4.5% of your proposed 1800kg MDW caravan. You takes your chance. Probably ok if its is a twin axle which seems likely at that weight. Also need to be aware that a general recommendation is that the MDW of the caravan should not exceed 85% of the Kerbweight of the car. RX400h Kerbweight is 2040Kg 85% figure therefore is 1734Kg An experienced caravanner would probably be fine with the outfit you are looking at, but I would not recommend it to a novice.

I have towed with the RX300 and now RX400h. To be honest the difference in towing capability and fuel consumption is not significant. The RX 300 in my opinion gives a smoother and quieter ride but does loose out to the 400h on performance. An RX300 can be found for much less than a 400h and often with sensible mileage, and of course no Hybrid worries .http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201306117234585/sort/default/usedcars/maximum-mileage/up_to_80000_miles/price-from/6000/price-to/7000/fuel-type/petrol/model/rx/make/lexus/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/radius/100/postcode/po62jy/page/1?logcode=p If you are new to the RX scene and need to get in cheaply, I personally would go for something similar to that at this link.

Not sure what you are trying to find out, but if you ask a Lexus dealer to fit a detachable towbar to your car, it will most likely be a Westfalia branded model. Check their website for details.
