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.

A good post on the subject. PIRTEK also, make AC hoses. Only issue need to know length and what fittings need to be crimped onto the ends to make up a new pipe. If the joins are visible and can take a photo shop may know what fittings are needed. James

Hi that button is for the volume for the alarm. I must say your ls400 looks very nice and I see lex tek have looked after yours too, theyve done some work on mine too.

Pretty sure I read a post regarding the flexible pipe option that was fabricated by an AC specialist but not sure if it still involved the tank being dropped.

I have always had japaese cars, the likes of toyota & honda.

🤑That's a very nice export rate.

No, we’re destined for a class action court case unless Lexus pull their fingers out of their Sanderos.

Thats some great footage, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately my fault is back, in at lexus next week so will bring up the issue, after reviewing all the data logs I've made and Freeze Frame Data it was pointing to the "Stroke" sensor in the Rack, but today the rack started making strage noises and completely stopped working 😞 I am thinking this is going to be expensive 😞

You can get on it but you would need to instal an Octopus compatible charger like an Ohme.
