I’m booked in for morning of the 21st.  Anybody noticed any difference since having it done?

No idea - but the spoiler still works :wink3:

No difference with mine.

I was there 5 hours, apparently they turn  the RC-F models round quite quickly as they have done a few, however mine was the first GS-F they had in and the job was a little different........something to do with higher capacity pumps to contribute to the higher power output......................................:whip:

Why did no-one get courtesy cars?

 

I was offered one, in fact initially I was going to take the LC500, however by the time I got home I figured it would be time to go back, well that was based on the 2-3 hours they told me initially, so I declined..................................

Makes sense. Was curious why people would hang around by choice. 20 mins drive for me and hoping to try an NX go to work and wait for the phone call.

I'd be happy just to get the work done. When I emailed my dealer I didn't hear anything for a couple of days, then when I chased it up I was quizzed who had written to me informing me of the recall because they haven't had training and parts aren't available. Heard nothing since.

Wow, any other dealers nearby? Training to change a fuel pump? Hmmmm.

My nearest dealer is 5 miles away, the next about 30 miles but I am seriously considering making the extra journey.

I can save you the time assessing the NX. 

Here's my in depth review - "An NX hybrid would struggle to pull the skin of a rice pudding"

There you go - job done.

I was offered an LC-500, but I said "NO. It's too fussy for my liking. I'll take that IS instead"

100 miles. I'd drive passed two other dealerships before I got there.

@ColinBarber Ah right probably not a goer then...... they do shove a load of fuel in your tank for the inconvenience there....... and there's the coffee........ biccies......... LC on the front to go and play with..... mind you some Volvo drivers on here turned that treat down......eh @Flytvr 😁

Don't need it. Just call up and order parts. They take 2 to 3 weeks to arrive at present.

I didn't even need to do that - Cheltenham called me!  Great service!

Lexus Swindon did my car at relatively short notice before I even picked it up. They managed to get the parts in less than a week.

So mine was done on Thursday.

However I have a suspicion and wonder if a fellow owner could help me by taking pictures of the top of their fuel pumps in the engine bay as per the attached.

It's not so easy to take a picture of the one on the passengers side, but would appreciate it.

Also does anybody have a copy of the actual bulletin?  I tried looking on Lexus Tech EU, but couldn't find it.
