  1. Don't knock it till you've tried it! 😉 The key it came off was immaculate underneath, not a scratch on it. Needless to say I've now got another pink one for they new shape fob
  2. Has anyone got a use for this (great colour for finding in the bottom of a bag) I now have a different style Lexus key fob, don't really want to just chuck..... recycle and all that. Don't want any money for it, happy to just pop it in an envelope and post to anyone in the UK that can use it. Regards Nikki
  3. Hi Joel, I had Smart Cover on a previous RX450h (purchased from new) Have to say I wouldn't do it again. Managed to scratch my bumper and got them out to fix, after a lot of 'teeth sucking' and telling me how difficult Lexus colours are to match they did the repair. All looked good when they did it, but the next day it looked very blue (it was a white car!) Next time, I would want to research who I use from recommendations and not be tied into one company. Yes it perhaps cost a little more, you have no choice who you use if you go with the Lexus Smart repair. IMHO.
  4. Just wanted to thank Herbie, (Lydiamight 😂), Neo GFS & Ryaans for putting my mind at rest. I'm now the proud owner of a new to me RX450H F Sport (with whiney fast acceleration! 🤭). Many thanks. Wonder if the person who buys my 2010 RX450h SE-L will appear on here? Fingers crossed she goes to a good home.
  5. Hi Phil, So your RX does the high pitched whine that you can hear over the the engine acceleration sound? Have you every queried it, or been given an explanation? If you fancy putting a video on to show me, it would be very much appreciated 😊
  6. Hi, Just after a bit of advice. Looking to buy a RX450h IV 2016 from a main dealer, I test drove last week and commented on a whining noise on quick acceleration. They said they would look at it. I've just heard back and they say it's normal (transmission motor). I've had 4 X RX's in my time (350/400h/2013 450h) these had different engines, so just wanted to ask if the noise is normal. I did video the noise, but not sure if I can upload here? Any advice would be welcomed. Many thanks e35d1fa0-51ff-491a-a905-991792e3b335.mp4
  7. Many thanks Lager Shandy & Herbie. Got back in the car yesterday and all was working fine! So now doubting myself, I guess time will tell......... !!!
  8. Asking for help/ideas.... This morning the push on/off button on the volume button decided not to work. I assumed the whole radio/CD was not working, but I went through the menu and turned the radio on, the volume button would work (the up and down function for volume), it just seems the push on/off function not working. Haven't had a chance to have a proper play yet, but just wondered if anyone had experienced this and if they had solved the problem? Any help gratefully appreciated.
  9. 2010 RX450h with 130,000 miles on the clock! Yes a few squeaks & rattles, but I have too!
  10. Have you got a dash cam? I've been reading that they can interfere with radio signal.
  11. Hi, Hoping someone can help on here..... Have just purchased RX450h SE-L (2010) which so far seems great. It has the side camera (under the passenger wing mirror) It has been set so that as soon when the car is slowing down it comes on. I am finding this a little annoying, but cannot work out how cancel this setting and put it back to the standard setting. I don't have the original manual and have been trawling through one on-line, but not having much luck finding it. Thanks
  12. I got some for a RX400h a few years ago now from a Lexus dealer and they were very cheap.
  13. Thanks for everyone's comments. In the end I went for a secondhand RX. I had a test drive of the NX (with no lumbar) and within 1 mile I could tell the seat would not be good for me. Good Luck QuietLife on getting your seat sorted. I had an Evoque for a while and was worried that the seat was not going to suit me, but i kept trying all the adjustments and eventually I did get a position that suited me.
  14. Thanks for responding. I did come across your post when searching the forum on lumbar support. That is such a shame you are finding the seat so uncomfortable. Even without lumbar support surely you shouldn't be able to feel metal supports digging in? I assume you have been in contact with Lexus regarding this & sat in other NX's to compare?
  15. Hi, Having had 3X RX's and now wanting a smaller car, I'm naturally looking at the NX300h (used) but finding it difficult to work out which models have lumbar support, which is a must for me. Can I ask what model/trim you have and what year and do you have Lumbar support or not? Thanks Nikki
  16. So my PCP was nearly at an end on my RX450h and it has gone back to Lexus. Interestingly 'We Buy Any Car' offered me more money than Lexus. Lexus offered either a nominal payment to me or a small amount as a p/x against another Lexus. With the info from WBAC I was able to negotiate a better deal from Lexus, I am glad as I didn't like the thought of it not gong back to Lexus. So worth checking if your PCP is nearly up. If anyone is looking for a used RX450h I can recommend mine, it never caused me a moments worry, sailed through her services & MOT and has extremely low mileage (message if you would like more info). Very sad to see her go, my third RX (RX350/RX400h/RX450h) now deciding on the next car as OH has just got a 4X4 so don't need another new RX, but I am going to miss it. Luckily have an IS250C to drive in the meantime, so I can legitimately stay on here!
  17. I previously owned the Evoque, which to be fare was a good drive and handled well. I traded in my RX400h for it and the only reason was that I'd had an older RX before that and thought ! fancied a change. But for me it was style over substance, let down by horrendous after sales service, in my case a fault with the panic alarm (didn't even know it had one until it randomly started going off at all times of the night and day, much to my neighbours annoyance). It went back to the dealer on numerous occasions and had to call out their recovery service at least twice. I remember one time going to pick it up after being 'fixed' and when I asked someone else to open the car for me to check, it started going off straight away, I then sat in their reception for 2 hours whilst they stripped someone else's brand new car that had just been delivered to get parts to 'fix it'..... well I left in a loan car!!! Never again!! Couldn't wait to get rid of (back to the dealer!) Extremely happy with my RX450h (it's replacement). Never had any issues with the 3 RX's owned.
  18. We have a new addition to the family! An IS250 C 2009 with what we think is Mellow White semi aniline leather. The driver's side particularly is looking worn and needs more than just a clean/feed. We have been looking through the posts here and in general on the www! and getting very conflicting info. Has anyone had any success in restoring very light coloured leather seats, or used a company (we are based in Bucks) Hopefully I've attached a photo of the worst part of the seat. Any help would be appreciated.
