Such a shame that they have closed down. They were great especially for import cars. I live between both garages JEM MOTORS and JAPEX in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire (Very close to Watford). 

I have used both in the past. Both were great. JEM MOTORS were pricier.

Looks like Ill only be going to JAPEX now for my other cars. I have also found these guys https://www.nipponautouk.com/

Have anyone used them. I will be very interested to know! They have some good reviews.

Hi guys

Are service plans any good?

I have been quoted for my NX200h £1294.55 for 3 years which includes:

• Service A for Dec 2023
• Service B for Dec 2024
• Service A for Dec 2025
• Plus MOT included with the services

I can pay in instalments. works out to be £41.75 per months for 30 months

To be honest I am shocked. Especially as its a Lexus. I have had older Lexus's before and have ran them into the ground. I'm talking like old school IS200 and the GS 300 and never had to change the water pump. I cant remember exactly but the millage  on my previous vehicles were 150 - 160k plus.

Strange. Do you think they are hungry for work? Or is it a common failure on the NX?

Have they stated it has a problem eg leaking or just a general recommendation?

They did mention that some coolant was leaking and I had no coolant in the vehicle.

I have done some research on the net and looks like its a common problem especially in the USA. 

Hi Guys

My car just gone in for its yearly service at Lexus. They have advised that the water pump needs doing. Is this something that should be done? or can it wait? My Millage is currently 108k

Hi dont really have any pics of the car yet but here is one i found on my phone. So I am posting it so you can understand what I am saying about my front bumper. As you can see there is no silver lip

Hi there

I have an fsport but the bumper look weird as its does not have the sliver lip like all the other f sports out there. So I manged to source one. Does anyone know how to fit it on?

Hi I have just realised that in the engine bay there is the radiator cover missing. anyone know where i can get one from cheap?

I have a crush on these cars! Especially the sports model!

Guys what would you say is the best OBD II adaptor to customised a NX300h?

Has anyone actually done an upgrade and if so can you post some pics please!

They charging 599 US Dollars and and much cheaper elsewhere

I am looking to do the same. I have seen a lot of models on Ali Express and various other websites. But I don't know what to go for?

Although I had the stamped service book when I bought mine, I wanted a bit more detail, and so I phoned the original supplying dealer, who'd carried out the previous services, and they emailed me a full printout of the service records. It's useful as you can see what scheduled maintenance was done beyond the usual checks and oil and filter change.

You can also buy a replacement service book,  and they'll stamp it with past services to match the records on file.

Thanks for the info. I done that already and I bought a original service book from eBay. So when  I have time I will go and get them stamped. I did ring the main dealer up and they sent me a spreadsheet like format of all the work done. I actually wanted all the certificates for the hybrid health check and other invoices.

I previous had a Honda civic and done the same thing but the main dealers sent me all the invoice and all the individual paper work but obviously for data purposes they blanked out the previous customer name and address and other details.

But that was really good of the Honda main dealers

I have noticed that at lot of the F Sport models have a chrome trim on the front bumper but mine does not. Any ideas?

Hi guys

I recently acquired a 2014 plate NX300h and I am not to happy with the size of the screen . I prefer the widescreen look of the facelift models (2018 and above). I have been looking at aftermarket ones on the net and they seem OK and at a decent price also. There are videos of how to install them on YouTube.

Does anyone have any experience of changing the screen? And which is a good model to go for?

The Gov MOT website will give you the exact date of registration along with current and historical MOT data and also whether there are any outstanding recalls.

Many Thanks for this!

They are very nice cars (apart from the engine which I found noisy and slow coming from an RX). At that point it was the best car I'd owned for the creature comforts, practicality etc. 

Yes Its the best Lexus or even car for that matter that I have ever owned!

The online service book is how its done which does seem a bit odd. I preferred a paper book with stamps in. If you create a My Lexus account and register the car then you'll be able to see the service history: https://www.lexus.co.uk/apps/customerportal#/tiles/ownedCars/+/sso/login/autoclose=true

yes been trying to do that but its does not recognise the car

I think its best I go to my nearest main dealer and enquire.

I 'think' it has long been 100k - - - but just speak to them - - after all - - they will want your business

 

what happens if it has no service history?

The car is a 64 plate. Don`t know if that's a 2014 or 2015.

Hi Guys

I recently purchased a used NX300h. I just want to know of any tips i can have look after the engine and the car as a whole.

The previous owner said all the service history is computerised and that I could get it from the main dealer (I don't know if that it true or not)

So TBH I have no service history at all nor do I have a service book. I have been driving it for a few days and its drives beautifully though.
