2015 onwards ideally. It is rare in the UK but older engines can have excessive oil consumption due to clogging of the piston rings - parts were redesigned in 2015.

Yes, same on all Toyota/Lexus hybrids unfortunately.

The LBX isn't vulnerable to the attacks currently used. Lexus should have a solution for the UX, we just don't know when yet (they have already missed their initial end April deadline) or how much an owner may need to contribute.

I'm sure Lexus will be happy to resolve the issue but it would be chargeable - tell your repairer to either fix the issue or you will be sending them a bill.

Only if it interferes with the normal operation of the vehicle or the installation is of poor quality - for both scenarios your recourse would be with the installer and not Lexus.

The company performing the repair didn't follow the correct replacement procedure which states a recalibration is required and therefore the guide lines disappeared. The guide lines wouldn't have disappeared if the vehicle wasn't involved in an accident and had parts replaced - therefore it isn't a warranty issue.

Warranty doesn't cover a third party's failed work.

Luckily it only has two!

I assume your car has HID headlight if it has washers. It would therefore be an MOT failure if your washers aren’t working.

2017/10 refers to the manufacturing date. When was your car registered, if it was before Dec 2017 it is unlikely to be affected.

They did but they have now removed that reference and now don't give a specific timeframe.

Lexus offer their old extended warranty for vehicles between 10 and 15 years old.

Exhaust leak then upstream sensor then injectors should be inspected first in that order before considering the cat itself is at fault. Unlikely to be something common such as the MAF sensor if only one bank affected.

A new vehicle comes with them. If you purchase new pads or even a new calliper you would be expected to reuse the existing ones. I wouldn't expect a Toyota/Lexus dealer to use copper grease, they have specific service bulletins that mention the correct grease and the amount to use.

Personally I'd go AWD for the extra performance. If that isn't a factor for you there are other reasons: I've not driven the FWD NX but 240 bhp just through the front wheels means it will struggle for grip on occasions if you put your foot hard down, and I suspect you will also get some torque steer. Moving 50 bhp to the rear will help here. The AWD helps with traction and stability, it isn't just about acceleration. The AWD system isn't a mechanical one with a centre diff so keeping all tyres at a consistent thread depth isn't critical - you can just replace front/rear tyres. VED isn't based on emissions so there isn't a penalty here. With the previous generation NX the FWD model was just an entry level grade so hardly any were sold. With the current generation you can get FWD across multiple grades but it still sells in very small numbers - less than 1 in 20. I suspect if you order one it will definitely be built to order with a long waiting time, whereas popular options are sometimes pre-ordered by Lexus GB to reduce wait times. Given the lack of popularity I'd also question resale value on the FWD models - although if you are purchasing on PCP or leasing this isn't a concern.

Lexus use Thule for their official bars but went out of production a long time ago now - so either look on eBay for a used set or maybe settle for a generic type. TigerFish had success with GS series III bars on his series II: These are still available: https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-gs-phase-3-cross-bars/

It's part of the airbag system - the airbag sensors will trigger the bag(s) to deploy and also signal to the engine ECU to turn off the fuel pump.

Front-mid means the centre mass of the engine is behind the front axle, which it is on the LFA as the engine is set back quite far.

Yes

At least one person who had a similar fault checked the CAN modules and the power back door module was offline - don't know whether the whole module was dead or the fault is related to the CAN bus electronics within it. Yes.

16, it is stated in the owners manual and the parts catalogue for the European spec UX. 20 is used in the non-hybrid version of the engine (not available in the UK).

If you deviate the profile away from standard type-approved sizes for the UX then you will need to inform your insurance company of a modification and understand you will create an error in your speedo.

I doubt they would introduce such a major change outside of a new model or possible a facelift year. AWD itself has been available for some time on the ES in the US but not with a hybrid drivetrain.

Lexus does, you just need the correct cable. https://www.lexus-tech.eu/DiagnosticTools/Setup
