Front Exhaust issue ….. All done then that’s good. Yes mine cost about the same too ……. should last another 20+ years ok Malc

Hi Richard With respect you have answered your owm query Battery is Kapurt But have you tried a CTek Battery charger that can sometimes Recondition the battery Rob

….just a brief marginally clarification review concerning the RAF Medmenham mini novel, earlier 🧐😳 of course, all the aircrew’s and other RAF staff ( and, indeed, everyone in the UK ) knew something was going to happen in 1944 soon ‘when the balloon go’s up’ ! what they did not know was when and where. initially, D-day was planned for May then put back to June - then The 5th was delayed to The 6th because of poor weather. invading Allied troop’s would only have been finally told of the detail’s on The 4th ! intro topic now closed. 🤐

….Malcolm - hi ! just knew you would make a good PI ( Photo Interpreter ) - did you use your stereoscope to discover that nugget about the exhaust ! 😃 last January, jumped, well unfolded (6’ 5” ), behind the wheel, started engine and instantly could here a slight but distant V8 rumble - had Mr Toyoda heard that he would have gone incandescent with rage - not very Lexus but 170k and failed mot now looming ! have previously owned Camaro 5.7 + Mustang 5.0 - both designed for the ‘ V8 rumble’ to irritate the neighbour’s - not Lexus ! knew the rumble would become louder so found a 5* fabricator called Krolltek ( see ticket ) near Newcastle. 3 hour’s later job done - back to the Bentley sound ! Kristian, co-owner, explained because the Tahara factory had used mild steel bracket’s / flanges’s on s/s system they had failed but the pipe work was ok. the entire front system was replaced in s/s from ( but not including ) the central in-line resonator to the cat’s - s/s flange’s and bracket’s fitted ! he also remarked that the system from the resonator back was ‘as good as new’ - good for anothe 170k mileage ! all this for - £ 390, bargain! ( one workshop quoted £ 1.200 for the work, cash ! - alway’s get a second or third quote, guy’s, so many shark’s out there ! ). anthony

It takes ages to register the sensors Scott, I think they’ve exited too quick. I seem to think it says “registration complete” then a few miles.

I have the same problem with upper case while logging In after it suddenly demanded me to login to sync. it worked after several attempts though. I am sure what made te difference, may be me pressing the key longer than usual.

In the process of painting my calipers Orange 😄

LOL 72mph is far too slow I've yet to try my cruise control 😊

Done about 15 miles now and no change

115kph so roughly 72mph which is a bit too slow annoyingly

Did you manage to sort this out?

I tried Tesco today but they declined to quote. No claims in 20 years, 10000 miles pa, 2 drivers, SDP only.

Welcome to snooping on the RX forum Alan! 😁👍 I trust all good with you and your new NX. Your calculation is spot on as far as I am concerned and exactly how I calculate the overall mpg. Your 90mpg is certainly impressive particularly with only your second refuel in almost 4000 miles! (Your piling the miles on!) My overall when I had my NX was 72mpg. First calculation (after 665 miles) on my RX coming in at 62mpg using the same formula although increased temperatures of late are translating to an improving EV range.

Has anyone seen / heard of the enhanced security update? It was originally scheduled for End of April. As I posted elsewhere, I emailed late April to Lexus CR and was fobbed off with the date was not known. Dealers would be in touch. Might email them again and copy in bbc watchdog.

Steve, I found this elsewhere on this site. You go to lexus-tech.eu - it is a secure HTTPS website. I have cannot say it is genuine but I think it is - it asks you for codes and in return provides a code to validate the update and an activation code. My dealer is on the case with Lexus and hopefully I can provide more details shortly.

maybe, but I wouldn't use the IS250 to pull a caravan myself, I consider it to be under powered, albeit the paddle shift would help I imagine? But for what I want, which is towing a small camping trailer, it will do just fine.

Well Charles, I'd not checked Tesco's on comparison sites recently, and when I do check (Meerkat, Uswitch, GoCOmpare) they are not quoted. However, I did go an get a new quote from them and for a new policy like for like is within £20 of the renewal.

Didn't know that there is a cruise limiter. What's it at?

Looks really good 👌

Hi Ian, Did you try to run the quotes on comparison sites? Wondering if prices for Tesco insurance on the comparison site are cheaper than your renewal quote. I've been checking mine ahead of my renewal and Tesco (which I am currently insured with) seems to be the cheapest apart from Marshmallow...

Hi Pally I'm here snooping from the NX Forum - I've got to keep my eye on Ken R !! 😂 Anyway, I've copied and pasted a post from an NX 450h+ Range forum back in 2022 about how I calculate mpg - I do it over a longer time than a single trip though. Hopefully this might help?: "I filled up on day one (1st March) with odometer showing 29 miles. I've filled up today with odometer showing 3838, not put any fuel in between. Today put in 39 litres (8.58 gallons) to fill again. That works out at 444 miles per gallon. I am not naive enough to think that this is a true representation, so I thought if I add the cost of the fuel (£65) to the cost of all my electric charges (£255.82), divide that by todays fuel price per litre (£1.669) after converting to gallons, this will provide an equivalent number of gallons to the total cost, then divide miles covered (3809) by the equivalent gallons: All fuel cost 65 + 255.82 = £320.82 Cost per gallon 166.9*4.54609 = £7.587 320.82/7.587 = 42.29 gallons 3809/42.29 = 90.06 mpg Sits back and waits for those cleverer than me to blow my theory/calculation/premise out of the water. What have I missed?"

I don't suppose you can describe the sound wand how or when to replicate it?

Just looked back to my first 450h+ shown above (should read 9/5/2023) which at this time last year will have been 14 months old with approx 10k on clock. In May 2022 there was another thread we were noting range on - I'll see if I can find any posts from then as my new car has some 'learning' to do !! UPDATE: I've found the other thread, titled: NX 450h+ electric and petrol range, but it seems like I was more interested in working out the mpg than a day to day electric range then!!

Today EV 46.6 EV/AC 45.2 740 miles since new on 15 March 2024

Cadiz it iz.
